So Much More than a Row Counter: Pattern Import, Timer, Highlighter, Ravelry...
"My Row Counter: Knit & Crochet" opens on "So Much More than a Row Counter!" with labelled bubbles (Timer, Pattern Import, Ravelry), so a "knitting tracker" searcher instantly grasps the value. "Pocket Knitting" shows only uncaptioned app screens, and its second screenshot carries lorem ipsum placeholder text.

App A
App B
Value Proposition
B leads"Pocket Knitting"'s first screenshot is an uncaptioned project grid (Sweater, Shawl, Hat); no headline states why a knitter needs it.
"My Row Counter"'s lead screenshot pairs "So Much More than a Row Counter!" with bubbles naming Timer, Pattern Import, and Ravelry.
Clarity
B leads"Pocket Knitting"'s screens show a real row counter with +/- and a project list, but the detail view fills its body with lorem ipsum placeholder text.
"My Row Counter"'s captions name concrete features: "Several Highlighters", "add reminders to appear on a given row", "Connect to Ravelry".
Emotional Hook
A leads"Pocket Knitting"'s warm palette and photographed finished knits (sweater, shawl, blanket) feel aspirational, but no caption names the feeling or outcome.
"My Row Counter"'s screens are UI mockups with capability bubbles on black or blurred yarn; no copy names a feeling or the calm of mistake-free knitting.
Trust Signals
Tied"Pocket Knitting"'s screenshots carry no testimonials, download counts, awards, or badges; nothing signals credibility to a browsing searcher.
"My Row Counter"'s screenshots show only features and UI; no ratings, user counts, press quotes, or compliance cues are surfaced visually.
Reviews for Pocket Knitting center on organized pattern tracking, an easy-to-use interface, and appreciation for its free, no-ads, one-time-payment model, with only scattered mentions of image import trouble. Reviews for My Row Counter: Knit & Crochet praise its row counter, multi-device sync including smartwatches, and in-app pattern import, but a few reviewers note battery drain, ads interrupting the counter, and a timer that resets. Both apps show strongly positive sentiment overall.

MediumPocket Knitting leads with project-portfolio organization, "keep track of all your projects wherever you go", while My Row Counter: Knit & Crochet leads with in-the-act counting expanded into a feature suite, "So Much More than a Row Counter" with Ravelry, voice control and Wear OS. The mismatch is level-of-tracking: Pocket Knitting frames tracking as managing many projects, My Row Counter frames it as counting rows inside one, and only Pocket Knitting's stance maps cleanly onto a searcher's literal "knitting tracker" intent.

App B
Positioning
Row counter plus suite
Target audience
Knitters and crocheters wanting an all-in-one counter
Value promise
More than a counter: import, highlight, voice, and Ravelry access
Tone
feature-focused, capability-stacked
Gap
Pocket Knitting leads with tracking multiple projects at the portfolio level, while My Row Counter: Knit & Crochet leads with tracking rows and stitches inside a single project via a stacked feature list.
Opportunity
Pocket Knitting can own the "manage all your works-in-progress" angle, which matches the literal "knitting tracker" search intent more directly than a row counter does.
Risk
Against My Row Counter's dense capability stack (Ravelry, voice control, Wear OS), Pocket Knitting's thin, generic subtitle and "Sleek and modern look and feel" framing can read as fewer capabilities, causing feature-comparing searchers to skip it at the conversion moment.
Strategic advantage
Pocket Knitting can lean into cross-project tracking and resumption, "remembers your last peek at the pattern", for serial hobbyists managing many simultaneous projects, a job My Row Counter's single-project counter framing does not claim.
Missed opportunity
Neither listing owns the reassurance of resuming any project exactly where you left off across multiple works-in-progress, an underserved angle for knitters who fear losing their place after a break.

My Row Counter: Knit & Crochet
Strong lead
For knitting tracker, My Row Counter: Knit & Crochet holds the #1 spot over Pocket Knitting at #6, but that lead rests on presentation, not keyword fit. Pocket Knitting actually reads as the cleaner literal match, so this ranking is winnable, not settled.
Why it wins
My Row Counter: Knit & Crochet converts the click: its lead screenshot opens on So Much More than a Row Counter! with labelled Timer, Pattern Import and Ravelry bubbles, while Pocket Knitting shows uncaptioned screens and a placeholder lorem-ipsum panel that stall a knitting tracker searcher at the conversion moment.
Biggest opportunity
Pocket Knitting owns the literal knitting tracker job, portfolio-level project tracking and resumption that My Row Counter: Knit & Crochet's single-project counter never claims, yet neither its title nor short description carries the phrase.
Next priority
Test a short description that plants the term and the resumption hook, e.g. "Knitting tracker for every project. Pick up right where you left off.", turning Pocket Knitting's cross-project advantage into copy that finally ranks on knitting tracker intent rather than just "knitting".
