Knitting Genius - Knit Easy‪!‬ 4+

Helpful video tutorials.

Before I even begin a project with this app, I can already say I’m liking the tutorial videos all being in one easy-to-get-to place. However, there hasn’t been any sound in any of the videos I’ve tried. Not sure at the moment if my sound is malfunctioning, or if audio simply isn’t available.
I do wish the various buttons/icons were labeled for those who rely on voiceover. (For those who aren’t aware, voiceover is a built in screen reader used by the blind and visually impaired. I use voiceover occasionally when my eye condition causes a bad eye day and makes me do all tasks in a non-visual manner.) If this were the case, I would likely use this app regularly. For now, I can always hope for improvement on the accessibility features. Meanwhile, I’ll explore my way around during my good eye days.
I did explore the cardigan pattern. From what I understand of this app, directions are supposed to be available on a line by line basis. I can find the individual lines...but cannot figure what the actual directions are. I just find text that says “repeat the schema” for a certain number of times. How do I know what “the schema” is? Perhaps a simple “knit all stitches” or K1P1 across row” would be helpful.

Developer Response ,

Hi!
Thank you for your feedback. All videos have background music, that you should be able to ear. It works on our device, we will see if we can reproduce your issue. Your suggestion regarding voiceover is great. The app allows you already to ear the instructions for the line by line pattern. We will work on implementing it for the videos as well. The schema is what you see below the instructions. you should see little icons that represent a knitting action. By clicking on it, you have a short description of this action (knit, purl, decrease....) as well as an access to a video tutorial. If you have any other issue or suggestion, please write us at tricotonapp@gmail.com. We will do our best to help. Have a nice day!

I love having ,y patterns on the go!

I’ve used this for a couple projects and the only thing I’d change is having the counters start at 0 instead of 1. Maybe just a personal preference but I like setting up all my counters ahead of time, so it bugs me to have one say 1 when I’m not at that part yet.

Must have app for crochet!

I use this mainly for crochet. It has been extremely useful! It keeps all of my projects organized, and it’s great to look back at past projects. (You can upload pictures of each project.) I also like how easy it is to access the patterns for each project- upload it once and it’s easy access after that. It also connects to Ravelry, and the voice activated row counter is amazing because you don’t have to put the project down in order to keep track of rows. This app is definitely worth paying for, without a doubt.
