So I love Ravelry for the fact I can keep track of my patterns, but sometimes that is not always convenient. So I recently did a search for apps on Google Play Store. I found some really nice new apps.
The one that seems to be the most powerful is Knitting and Crochet Buddy. If you want to remove the ads and have a couple addition features, there is a $0.99 yearly subscription fee. It's certainly cheaper than yarn.
You can keep track of multiple projects. It allows you to even keep track of what row you're on with controls for repeats and such. There is a project timer that you can use as well to keep track of how much time you've actually devoted to the project. It allows you to take photos of your projects and the patterns. It even has a ruler to help with determining gauge. The Stitch Calculator (Beta) has the potential to be VERY useful. It can help you decide the best spacing for increases and decreases. Currently it only works for one row. Obviously they will be adding more features to this tool.
"Add the total number of stitches in the From Stitches and To Stitches fields and then click calculate button. For example, if you are knitting 60 stitches and the pattern says to increase by 12, enter From = 60 and To = 72 (60+12 = 72)."
So this is great for work in progress. Yet I haven't quite found what I really want. I have yet to find a program or application that can help me with designing my crochet pattern diagrams using the crochet international symbols. I would rather have some sort of way other than just hand drawing them. So my search will continue.
