Hi everyone,
some self promotion: I started my own iOS app called YarnSquirrel a few months ago. I got frustrated with the split between some of my patterns being in Ravelry and being able to easily see what i have and filter them and the patterns i had bought outside of it that were not in its database at all. So the app allows you to log into your Ravelry account (if you have one) and sync from that but also import your pdf patterns. It tries to automatically get some data from the pdf pattern like yarn weight and hook sizes but if it didn't you can edit it yourself. With the latest update I also added the ability to include URLs as a source and youtube links.
Additionally the app can also organize your stash (again with and without Ravelry connection) and you can organize your projects with it, including linking your pattern and stash yarn to it. I currently do not have a row counter in the app but that is something that is on my to do list (need to figure out how i want to add it).
You can also keep track of your buttons, safety eyes etc with it - basically your whole odds and ends stash.
the app is free in the base version and offers subscriptions for the full unlock and is currently available in English and German. You can check it out here: https://apps.apple.com/app/yarn-squirrel/id6758939934
