Weave with iWeaveIt
This weaving app supports Android’s human interface guidelines with many of Android's features. It uses gestures and touches for draft manipulation. This makes the program easy to use on the Android phones and tablets. The result is a fun and enticing program to create and view weaving drafts.
✦ Create and edit threading, treadling, and tieup for your weaving drafts with multiple edit functions ( cut, copy, paste, flip, wrap, and change colors). ✦ Supports lift plans for weave drafts. ✦ Multiple levels of undo are available for editing the weave patterns. ✦ Zoom with gestures. ✦ Create custom color palettes. ✦ Reads and writes WIF (weave interchange files) to local or public storage.✦ Send your weave pattern drafts as WIF files with email.✦ Import WIF files into iWeaveIt from email or internet (www.handweaving.net). WIF files are recognized for iWeaveIt and normally load immediately. ✦ View one repeat of the weave design or multiple repeats to get a feel for how the whole cloth will look.
Editing allows up to 8 shafts on phones with small screens and 24 shafts on larger tablets.

This is an excellent basic weaving design program. I recommend a minimum 7" tablet. Phone screens are too small for designing, but I have several designs on my phone to refer to when yarn shopping. I recommend this program for weavers on the go.
I expected more for my money. As is, it's annoying how it keeps loading the threading color when you go to chang the threadling pattern. it would be a great help if you could see the already saved pattern names when saving a new pattern.
I am learning weaving on a ridged haddle loom, so it's a little bit of a learning curve on both fronts but software seems straight forward so I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon. I recommend it.
Fun to play with but not fully functional on android devices. Developer's website says they have discontinued support for the android version and have pulled it from Google Play, but it appears, from other reviews posted, that they will not refund purchasers. Very disappointed.
Sadly, this app doesn't work with my brand new Lenovo Tab M10. There isn't a way to send .wif files to the app. Google play denied my request for a refund and said it has to be issued by the developer. The developer won't issue refunds so I'm stuck. Be wary of buying this app for an android.
I purchased iweaveit a few years ago and recently have tried to install it on my hp laptop. The app program keeps telling me it will be installed "soon" but it doesn't happen. Why???
Author stopped making update versions for Android. Very disappointed to learn this from a fb weaving software group instead of the creator before I purchased with add-ons.
It would be great if it went to 10 shafts a d 12 treadles.
Rising shed only
Helpful for non textile
I like it but I would prefer to be able to set it up for sinking shed drafts and be able to decide which shaft is 1
Program won't open on my device any longer. Enjoyed the program while it worked.
Like the app. I have lost the ability to save any file on any android device very frustrating
It is the best and most reasonably priced Weaving App.
Had questions and contacted Sally as suggested. She responded with the solution for every question within a few hours. ( problems were with operator not program). Love the portability and float finder. I also bought every add on and am thrilled)
Very nice to have something I can take to the loom or with me when designing. Sally is extremely helpful, particularly when all of my "issues" were operator error.
It's great but very pricey. There should be a "package price" for those who want to purchase all add-ons.
Great app. Gives me some project planning time when I'm not at my desktop.
Love the package..have all parts. Recommend it highly.
This has been a fun app to use with my weaving.
As a long-time WeaveIt user, I'm really happy to see iWeaveIt come to the Android platform...and I'm looking forward to the additional capabilities (e.g., Designer).
I only wish that I could handle complex draft more than fifty shafts. Otherwise it's a lovely app
When I purchased it I also purchased the ad on programs, after I did that, my android tablet I had at the time malfunctioned and was not able to be fixed. so I saved up and got myself a new android tablet and was able to put the weaving program on it, however, I cannot get the ad on programs without re-purchasing them. I've contacted the developer, and Google, the developer has absolved all responsibility, and Google hasn't responded! not happy!
