Hi Jane,
I don't think the "Supports only iOS 7" means that it won't support iOS 8, but rather that it won't work on anything before iOS7. There are some apps which are like that now and over time more of them will not support iOS versions before iOS 7. If you read the entire description, here is what it says at the very end: Compatibility: Requires iOS 7.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5. Having said that, maybe hold off just a bit before installing iOS 8, doing it on the first or second day of the release is probably a bad idea anyways since hundreds of millions of people around the world will try to upgrade and Apple's servers will be totally bogged down. Also you might want to wait until the first wave of feedback comes in.

I use it to keep track of projects. You put in a project name, you add the number of rows for the project. You can even add the number of stitches per row, if you want to keep that close track. Here's the iTunes store link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/knit-knitting-counter-for-ios/id473675243?mt =8 some of it is labeled really well. For instance, you can pick the right kind of picture to put for each project because they are clearly and correctly labeled. I know this because I had my sighted child check. She is a knitting/crocheting fan like I am, and this is her favorite. Some of it, like the button you hit to add rows when you complete it, are not so well labeled. You will probably want to re-label the "iPad plus off" button to something easier to remember. LOL! There's also Counter+ but I haven't figured out how that works so well.

I guess I will have to hold off, then. I just found the neatest knitting app, but it only works under IOS7 and I don't know if they will re-release it. I hate having to choose between updating and losing apps. On the other hand, I promised someone I would update to see if a certain language was supported. *shakes head* Jane On Sep 10, 2014, at 10:08 PM, Ron Pelletier < <mailto:ron.pellet...@sympatico.ca> ron.pellet...@sympatico.ca> wrote: Jane, If we go with the past,chances are that you won't be able to downgrade unless Apple offers that possibility but, its not a guarantee they will.

Your settings and data stay put, and the only change is the new iOS version. Of course, you should always do a full backup before any update, just in case something goes wrong, but most times nothing bad happens. No one has yet updated to iOS8,obviously, but I see no reason it won't be like the last few major releases.

Does it work like minor updates, where you just start the update, the phone restarts and then comes up talking when it's done?
