★★★★★ Not working with Apple Watch anymore
Up until now I liked this app a lot. I downloaded the latest Apple iOS software update & now it no longer appears as an app option on my watch. When I go on my iPhone to reload it it says the app was purchased but it no longer appears o…
★★★★★ Perfect
I have been waiting a long time for the ideal counter app for my knitting projects and I’m so glad I found this one. It has everything I’ve been looking for, especially the ability to see and configure section repeats. Perfect app and an ab…

★☆☆☆☆ Unresponsive Apple Watch App
Count-up button doesn’t respond half the time, so you exit the piece, still no response, then hit it again and it counts up twice. But you can’t rewind. Useless.…
★★☆☆☆ Watch update broke it
I’ve been using this pretty successfully for years. Great to have multiple projects. I have it as a complication on my watch face so I can quickly tap the count when needed. This last watch update broke the app so that every time I tap my t…

📝 About this app
Most yarn project trackers count one project at a time. Yarnify counts every piece - left sleeve, right sleeve, body, hood - each with its own row count, pattern repeats, and starting offset, all tucked into one project. So when you come back to your work after a coffee break (or a three-week break), you pick up exactly where you left off.
Yarnify is built for knitters and crocheters, runs on iPhone and Apple Watch, and syncs over iCloud so your counts follow you wherever your needles (or hook) go next.

About this analysis
Why low confidence: only 11 ratings · no founder-verified revenue (model estimate only) · revenue figure is directional only.
📌 Final verdict — read this before you trust the numbers above
Yarnify is a early-stage iOS app in the productivity space with weak public traction — only 11 ratings, no founder-verified MRR, and not ranked in any monitored grossing chart. The app appears to be monetised, but public signals are too sparse for a precise revenue estimate.
Bottom line: treat all revenue, audience and acquisition-value numbers on this page as directional only — not founder-verified facts.
