What Users Really Think About Tin Can Knits

Catastrophic app update destroyed all user progress and made interface unusable

"This 'update' is trash. It screams that it was written by AI and is just awful. Everything that was user friendly and nice about the app was removed"

"With the update you completely lost your progress markings on projects. How absolutely terrible for people with in projects in process"

As others have stated I’d happily pay for a premium for this app if it would just save my progress. It’s just not trustworthy to leave and come back and know your progress is saved. The ability to look at the pdf in the app is useless, you’re unable to increase the size to be able to read it.

So many features of the app (row counters, ability to add notes, single size view) are fabulous, however the need for internet access makes it really limiting. It will not save my row counter or notes (and therefore be inaccurate) if used in a place without great internet, and you can’t use it at al...

This used to be easy yo navigate and see what was next. I used it for 2 years with no problems, it was intuitive and easy to find your next step and any other information. Then it was updated and is now a confusing mess of an interface that isn’t user friendly. I was going to have my daughter use th...

The “you only see your size” feature has been about 80% erased. Now you get the combined size same instructions (I.E. newborn-L, repeat 5 times, etc) and you can’t save completed projects anymore. You have to delete them in order to start a new pattern. Your archived projects are still there, but yo...

Tin Can Knits was how I taught myself to knit, and I’ve recommended it to so many people — whenever I have a new project, I tried to use the app-enabled patterns as my first preference. But the new update made it so much less user-friendly. It used to automatically count my rows with just the down a...

With the update you completely lost your progress markings on projects. How absolutely terrible for people with in projects in process. Had been using the app for months. Deleted app and not going back.

This “update” is trash. It screams that it was written by AI and is just awful. Everything that was user friendly and nice about the app was removed and put into stupid drop down tabs, and the instructions have been made worse and I don’t think the instructions are any bit the same. Just dump this a...

Downloaded the app and loved it. The additional instructions/abbreviations were available right in the step. After the update (maybe 2 days later?) I couldn’t access the project. I added it as a new project but everything I liked about the original app is gone. Also not really liking the instruction...
