... or you just let them go. I've purchased far more apps than I've actually used regularly.

If you're talking about the KnitCompanion app, it's totally worth it... especially if you like to knit complex stuff like lace, etc. It's as awesome at keeping your place in the pattern as Kindle is at keeping your place in a book. I scan and import all my patterns into KnitCompanion now, as I get them. I also use it with Dropbox integration.

BTW, I have the iPad mini (2nd gen), but also an iPhone 5 (not the newest model), Kindle paperwhite, and a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. They all have their specialties.

Now I'll be heading over to the Device Addicts thread... ;-)

You bet! Wish she would put it on google play!

She has a Kickstarter campaign to try to raise capital - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...droid?ref=live. It looks to me like she was over-reaching, though, in the amount she was seeking and under-performing in the rewards she was offering. I love the program, but really don't care about her designer integrations, KcUniversity, or any of that.

Kickstarter may not have been the best choice for a funding platform either, as it's all-or-nothing. Other crowd-sourcing options (IndieGoGo, for one) allow more flexibility.
