BeeCount Knitting Counter for Android
I have been knitting for forty years using pen and paper to keep track of rows. I have tried a few row counters that sent me back to pen and paper, then I found Bee Count. I have to say that this application is absolutely fantastic. It allows you to count the total row count and a repeating pattern count. You can make notes and set alarms when the row count target is reached. You can program multiple projects and importantly when you close the app it automatically saves your progress.
I absolutely adore this app. It's intuitive and has all kinds of helpful functionality (duplicating projects is such a time-saver!). The only improvement I would suggest is to have a way to mark projects as done and keep them in a separate list, to prevent cluttering.
I rarely review apps but I was so happy about this one that I had to. I struggled to find an app that would count my total rows AND keep track of where I was in the pattern due to repeats, but this app takes care of that with ease. Love it!
This app has been so helpful and I use it every day. The only thing I can think of to improve was if there was a timer on each project. Fantastic app
Brilliant app. What sets this apart from other counter apps is the way that you can link counts. I always get confused as to where I'm up to when doing 2 different counts at once and this solves it!
Love the fact that I can essentially write a pattern in it, with space to note cast on numbers, yarn type and gauge, stuff like that. Looks like the sound issue was fixed on one of the updates, so I am happily collecting Mario coins as I count rows.
5/5 Would buzz again. Seriously though, perfect stitch counter, no ads, let's you save and edit multiple projects, and is highly customizable! Much better than all the other stitch counter apps!
Simply Wonderful. I find the flexible program easy to use and modify for my patterns. Fewer mistakes and tinking!
The best knitting counter ever! I have tried several other counting apps, but this is definitely the best- absolutely fantastic! Simple but very well thought through, adaptable to almost everything- I copy&paste my patterns into the notes section and have everything I need in one place - genius!
Works great, & is an easy way to keep track when in the go! You'll always have your phone, so no need to remember to pack the notebook or paper!
I really like this app. I have been knitting since I was 5 years old. I am now 71. This is the best and most useful knitting app.
Have tried over a dozen different row counters and this one is my favorite. I love that it allows you to have multiple counters for a single project because it makes it much easier to keep track of row repeats.
Great stitch counter. Doesn't drain the battery, keeps track, and multiple counts can be kept for every project. Every knitter needs this.
Easily customizable, this app helps you track every aspect of your project. I really like it for knitting socks and gloves; it helps me make sure the pairs are even.
Great for keeping track of amigurumi rounds, works awesome in split screen on my tablet. Won't work with some .pdf patterns.
I love how much you can customise it to each project. Much better than other counter apps I've tried.
Really helpful, easy to customize, just perfect! ❤
I was using pen and paper now my projects can be finished faster. Thank you.
After talking to some people and understanding the count and how to use it, with the rows it's a pretty simple, thank you for your help and advice.
Add rows count each individually save multiple projects. Perfect f9r me
Wonderful for keeping track of row counts and repeats on multiple different projects.
Simple, very versatile. Keeps all my projects.
Great app!
I like the ability to set up rules in paired counters, ie. Increase A every time B resets
Using this in conjunction with pdf and paper patterns. No issues so far.
This app has allowed me to ditch my paper copy of patterns all together. Also, I no longer need a ton of row/stitch counters for the different projects that I have...so convenient!
Thanks. I have enjoyed using the program. Count available at all times.
Fantastic app. Great replacement of the little notebook I used to carry everywhere to track rows.
The face that it is ad-free is a real bonus
I love this app, and the fact that you can add multiple counters per project and have them reset is fantastic. The main reason why I didn't rate it a 5 is because there's no option (as far as I can tell) for reordering. I have a project way down at the bottom that I'm still actively working on, and I have to scroll past a bunch of others that I'm not working on anymore but don't want to delete in case I want to use them again. Also, a widget or compatibility with smart watches would be fantastic.
I do not know how I lived without this app! I always have multiple projects at once, so this is super handy to have all the counts on one app. The auto save makes me very happy. My only feedback is to have more background image defaults to choose from, say a lighter and a darker yarn background. (I am too lazy to find a background that would look good for a custom).
Love that you can have like 4 separate counters for projects... Just wish there was a timer
Amazing!!! Works great for my Tapestry crochet
All the bells and whistles - you can even set count to go back to 1 at a certain number and link that to change a separate count. Wonderful! Plus you can change the tone.
Exactly what I needed. I can make notes and use counter. Very easy to use. I've gone through several apps before finding this.
Love it but it isn't working on my note 3 T99 my other one broke and on replacement won't work
This keeps track of even complex projects! No more counting rows praying you did it correct. Being able to have every project documented and counted here is exactly what I needed. I can pickup everything exactly where I left off quickly. Thank you!
This app has made knitting lace work so much better! I'm able to keep track and save all progress. I love that you can create different row counts within my actual project. Just simply awesome.
This app does everything I need it to do, I love the settings for the counters, it gives you all the options you could ask for and is really user friendly

I'm a novice knitter, but past expert with computers and programming. This app shows a lot of thought, has many useful features for knitters of any level. The ONLY reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars is minor (but still important to me). When actually actively working a project, I wish there was an option for a larger display/button area. I do not wear my glasses for most close work, like knitting, but that means I have difficulty reading the count or hitting the increment button.
