New in 1.7.1: • Drawing on the pattern no longer freezes the app, and erased strokes stay erased. The drawing bar has its own Eraser and Undo, and ink stays on its page. • Hold the row marker to hide it, right where it lies. • Change things after saving: rename a project from its menu, edit a journal note, rename a saved calculation, and correct a knitting session’s length. • If iOS has turned Live Activities off for the app, Settings now says so under Counter on the Lock Screen, with a way to turn them back on. New in 1.7: • iPad: pattern and counter side by side. On a wide iPad the count, the reminders, your counters and notes sit beside the page. • Count with the whole screen: a tap anywhere is one more row, and the row’s reminder sits at the top. • Increase/Decrease is one tool with two cards: evenly across the row, or up a sleeve with rows between. • A backup you can read back: Export everything now includes one, and “Read a backup back” under Your data adds only what is missing. Nothing is overwritten. • Opening a saved calculation keeps your own numbers: “Back to your numbers” brings them back. • Changing a yarn’s unit asks for the ball band’s numbers instead of turning 5 balls into 5 g. • Your page in the pattern is kept, also when pages are moved or a file is missing on one device. Drawings made on two devices at once are both kept. • Purchases hold when the App Store cannot be reached, and Restore Purchases says so. • Tips, one at a time and only where they help. Grey text is easier to read, also with large text. New in 1.6: • Count by voice: tap the microphone in the pattern and say “next” or “one more row” when your hands are full. Only your phone hears what you say, and it never leaves it. (Requires iOS 26.) • Draw on the pattern: circle your size or mark a line with your finger or Apple Pencil. Drawings belong to the project, so the same pattern can be knitted again in another size, and they come along when you share the project. • All the project’s counters sit as tiles above the counter bar in the pattern. One tap switches counter. • Leftover yarn comes back: when a project is finished, the app asks how much you used and puts the rest back in the yarn stash. If you correct it later, the stash follows. • Gauge on yarn: “22 sts × 30 rows” is read from the ball band and shown in the yarn stash and next to suggestions for other yarn. • An increase or decrease, or buttonholes, saved in a project now opens in the project, so you can tick off the lines with the counter below. • The yarn stash’s numbers are easier to read with large text. New in 1.5.1: • Your progress is kept. Ticked-off lines in Increase/Decrease and Buttonholes stay ticked when the app is closed. They go with a calculation saved in a project, also to your iPad. • Recently deleted: bring back a deleted project, pattern or yarn for 30 days, under Settings. • Notes and numbers are saved as you type, and the app asks before it deletes or resets anything. • Undo start over stays in the counter's menu and keeps the rows counted since. Rows counted on another device before it heard of the start-over are kept too. • The pattern reader uses the whole screen, and the counter's reminder sits in the counter bar.

New in 1.5: • Count without touching your phone. Your counter sits on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and in a widget on the Home Screen, with a + for one more row. The Action button, Control Center and Siri ("One more row in KnitBuddy") count too, and so does the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra. • A row marker in your pattern: a band in your yarn color lies over the line you are knitting. Drag it along, or let it move down a line each time you count. Pin notes to the page where you need them. • Repeats and reminders on a counter: "every 8th row, 10 times", and "Row 24: change to color B". • Increase up a sleeve, decrease down a body: a new tool spreads the stitches evenly over the rows, for example every 9th row 8 times, then every 8th row 4 times, and makes a counter that reminds you when to increase or decrease. The increase/decrease calculator now also takes many stitches over a few rows, such as from 100 to 50 stitches over 7 rows. • Enough yarn? A new calculator tells you how many skeins to buy and checks what you already have in your stash. It also suggests yarn from your stash that is about as thick as the pattern's. • See how long each project takes: the time is counted while you count rows, also from Apple Watch and the Lock Screen. A break of more than 10 minutes ends a session, and you can add time you knitted without the counter. • Statistics on projects, yarn and needles: projects added and finished, where the time and the yarn went, how much yarn you have used this month, this year and in all, and which needles are in use and used most. • Bring your knitting along: share photos or a web page to KnitBuddy to keep it as a pattern, import your yarn and needles from a spreadsheet, and find projects, patterns and yarn in Spotlight. • Your knitting stays yours: export a project as a PDF, or everything at once. The iCloud page shows when it last synced, or what is stopping it. If your trial or subscription ends, you can still see and export everything you have made. • On Apple Watch, a tip shows how to keep the counter in front instead of going back to the clock face. New in 1.4: • Apple Watch: count rows on your wrist. A big "One more row" button, a small minus to undo, and a double tap with your fingers counts a row when your hands are full of knitting. Turn the Digital Crown to switch counters. • On the watch face and in the Smart Stack: see how far you are, one tap from the counter. • Your count stays in step on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. The watch counts on its own and sends its rows when your iPhone is near. • A clearer buzz when you reach your goal. • Calmer tiles with new drawings on the Tools tab, and the counter's name stands clear of the count in the pattern. New in 1.3.2: “Look around first” now shows an example that looks like a real knitter’s: photos of every yarn with color number and dye lot, the needles in the stash, socks on the needles and a project journal with photos. The App Store page also has a short video of the app. New in 1.3.1: new App Store pictures that show the whole app. The app itself is the same as 1.3.

New in 1.3: • A new menu with four tabs: Tools, Projects, Yarn stash and Settings. Tools opens with the counter you used last at the top. • Needles in the stash: keep your needles in the app, choose a project's needles from there, and see which are in use and which a project still needs. • Less typing: brand, yarn name and fiber suggest what you have written before. Choosing a yarn fills in only the empty fields. • Read the ball band on a project's yarn too. Put the yarn in the stash, and the photo, grams and meters go with it. • Everything stays in your own iCloud. Nothing is sent to us.

Continue takes you back to the right page with the counter. • Patterns: add a PDF, photos or a scan of a printed pattern. The page is found and straightened, and you can sort your patterns into categories. • Several counters per project. Count on iPhone and iPad at once, and both count. • Yarn stash: scan a ball band and the brand, grams, metres and needle size are filled in. A finished project takes its yarn out of the stash. • Gauge swatch: write down the needle you tried and what it gave, and compare it with the pattern. • Save a calculation to a project, and choose the app's colour in Settings. • Everything stays in your own iCloud.

KnitBuddy now has a name of its own in each of its 35 languages, such as StrickKumpel in German and Tricopain in French. In English it is still KnitBuddy.

You can now choose the app's language in Settings. The Done button above the number pad now appears on every tab.

Small improvements and fixes.
