For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 6 distinct reviewers (3.4% of 175 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
Misleading advertising: raised by 5 distinct reviewers (2.9% of 175 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Reviewers repeatedly report that the app is not what its advertising showed. We never see the ad creative itself, so nothing we collect can corroborate or refute this — it is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
175 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
Instructions so-so, most behind paywall — For a beginner, the videos and instructions are not very clear. They only use one camera angle making it difficult to see key details you need to make the stitches. The videos are narrated by AI…
Great app but… — I loved this app at first. And I still use it sometimes, but now I can’t crochet anything because everything or ‘pro’ which means that it costs money. And a lot of the pictures of the projects are ai generated. I don’t…
AI and Subscription Required — I recently started learning how to crochet and thought that this app might be helpful to find patterns. Unfortunately, when I opened the app I discovered that almost all of the patterns are blocked behind a…
False advertising — Leads people in and doesn't have the advertised patterns. Cancelled free trial. No thanks!
False advertisement — If you’re looking for any of the patterns that are shown in the ads, you might as well look somewhere else because they’re definitely not in this app. Why pay all that money for a subscription just to not be able to…
False advertising — Pattern in photo doesn’t exist! I downloaded the free trial, no such pattern
A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.
Supporting measurements. They are not a complete list of possible harms or positives. “Not assessed” means we could not measure it — never zero, never a pass.
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Appworthy
yarnpal-apple-6738537088Assessed 2026-10-10 from 175 user reviews, the store listing and its privacy label. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
No itemized purchase list is available for this listing.
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
