**What's New in Version 2.4.2** This update focuses on improving storage efficiency and backup reliability. - **Reduced Storage Usage:** Fixed an issue where temporary backup files could accumulate and take up several gigabytes of unnecessary space. YarnBuddy now automatically cleans up these leftover files. - **More Reliable Backups:** Improved backup creation and cleanup to help prevent interruptions from leaving behind large temporary files. - **Easier Backup Exports:** Added the option to export your last saved backup without creating a new one, especially helpful when your device is running low on storage. Thanks for using YarnBuddy! Happy knitting and crocheting!

Fixed an issue that could prevent existing YarnBuddy Pro subscribers from accessing their Pro features after updating. Also improved subscription purchase and restoration reliability.

After lots of work behind the scenes, YarnBuddy 2.4 is finally here! This is one of our biggest updates yet, packed with new ways to track your projects, organize your stash, and make the most of your knitting and crochet time. **NEW FEATURES** • **Interactive Widgets:** Keep counting without opening the app! Increment and decrement your current project's row counters directly from your Home Screen with new small, medium, and large widgets. • **Live Activities:** Keep your row counters handy on your Lock Screen while you work. When you start working on a project, YarnBuddy can offer to start a Live Activity so you can count rows without unlocking your device. • **Yarn Stash Sorting:** You can now sort your yarn stash by yardage. • **Adjustable Pattern Highlighter:** Customize the height of your PDF pattern highlighter independently for each page. • **New Themes:** YarnBuddy Pro subscribers and Lifetime users can enjoy three additional themes to personalize their experience. • **Monthly Subscription:** YarnBuddy Pro is now available with a monthly subscription option, giving you more flexibility. • **Pattern Reordering:** Drag and drop PDF patterns to arrange them in your preferred order on the project details screen. • **Tool Stash Search:** Quickly find needles, hooks, and other accessories in your tool stash with the new search feature. **IMPROVEMENTS** • **Redesigned Yarn Stash:** A refreshed list-style layout brings a cleaner, more consistent experience to browsing and managing your yarn collection. • **Smarter Backups and Exports:** Automatic backups and data exports are now faster and more reliable, with clearer success messages and error reporting. • **Image Optimization:** A new optional feature in Settings → Data & Backups lets you reduce the size of images in your library, potentially saving significant storage space and making backups much smaller. • **Improved Apple Watch Syncing:** Reliability improvements help keep your projects and row counters synchronized between your iPhone and Apple Watch. • **More Reliable Time Tracking:** Fixed an issue where paused timers could unexpectedly resume counting after the app was sent to the background. • **Easier Lifetime Upgrade:** Switching from a YarnBuddy Pro subscription to the Lifetime one-time purchase is now more straightforward. You'll still need to manually cancel your existing subscription in iOS Settings before switching. **BUG FIXES** • Improved the accuracy of the yarn stash's remaining-quantity calculations, making better use of the information available. • Fixed an issue where editing a project could unexpectedly reset its completion date. • Fixed an issue where the display could turn off even when "Keep Display On" was enabled in Settings. • Additional bug fixes, stability improvements, and refinements throughout the app. Thank you for using YarnBuddy and for supporting its continued development. Happy knitting and crocheting!
