Even aside from craft store apps that give you coupons, there are tons of apps out there for knitters and crocheters. These are my personal favorites.
Knit: a row/stitch counter that can keep up with multiple projects at once. The developer doesn’t speak English that well, but the cuteness of the app makes up for that.
Wooly: If Ravelry had developed an app, it would be like this. You can add projects, add stash items, and queue patterns, you can add photos (which is great if you’ve experienced the frustration of trying to add photos to Ravelry on a mobile device), check your messages, and more. Super handy.
YarnPro: Like a reference book in your pocket, and this screenshot says it all (or almost — I should add you can customize the units of measurement):
Granny Square (by Simply Crochet): Free granny square patterns! A variety to choose from.
Raglanify: Haven’t acually used this yet, but it will generate a custom raglan sweater pattern for you if you imput your desired measurements, gauge, etc. It thinks of everything!
So those are my current top 5! Give ’em a try if you have an iPhone!
I like the idea of apps but find it hard enough to keep up with blogging, I worry that having the apps would distract me even more.

Realize that I’m late to the party, but to let you know, can’t find Yarn Pro or Granny Square. Also disappointed that Raglinnify is for knitting! Anything similar for crochet? Thanks!

That’s really a shame, I guess they took them off the App Store. 😦 I don’t really know of anything else good for crochet; I really like KnitCompanion and you can use it for crochet projects as well but it has more features for knitting.

Are you in the USA ? If not, it might they are only available in America. I had the same problem and I’m in Australia.
