Pretty Good App!

This app is amazing to get free patterns from! I love the helpful features for customizing patterns and converting them too! I love having a ton of options right in front of me to choose from easily instead of having to search for exact pattern I want on google or Pinterest. I’ve had a few problems though. It is a bit slow, so patience is needed a bit. I’m not a big fan of the limit of free patterns you can get a day, it should be stated in the beginning so you don’t go pattern crazy, then after the five, you find on you really want, but find out you can’t get it for another 24 hours. These aren’t exactly issues, but they could maybe be improved a bit. My only bigger issue, I’d that I found a pattern that was followers only, so I followed that person, but when I tried to get the pattern, it said I needed to follow the designer first, even though I already did. Overall, it is an amazing app if you have patience!

Love the App!

I’ve been using the app for a few weeks now and I love it. Makes it so easy to follow a pattern while I’m working and watching tv, the progress checks and everything are great. My only suggestion would be to add a way to return to your search after you click on a pattern. Sometimes I want to look at the details of a pattern before I buy it, and if I don’t have the right skills or equipment I want to be able to return to my place in the search to find something more suited. Its not the end of the world but it would make searching for the right pattern or project a lot easier if I didn’t have to start at the beginning of my search each time I click on something. Other than that, I love the app and will be using it for all my pattern needs!

No in-app Google sign in

The app has an attractive front end, but when I went to sign in it was missing the button for Google sign in. I tried to sign in with my email and password but got an error message. After that I tried to click forgot password and it said I needed to input my email first so I did, but then it said I needed to wait a few minutes before sending another request. I was really looking forward to using this app to find free patterns and I would at least like to be able to use my Google to sign in on the app as that is what I was able to sign up with on safari. Also, getting an error message about too many requests after being in the app less than 5 mins was a turn off.

Hi!
We’re really sorry about the confusion.
We’re limited by Google’s requirements so we cannot currently offer sign in with Google outside of browsers. You can, however, enter your Google email and click the forgot password so you can still use your Google email and sign in with a password on the app.
