Conclusion: For most Craftsy loyalist this app is a no-brainer, although there are some questioning whether the app provides a better way to experience Craftsy over the website. I think it certainly does! Apps are the new website and when done well it takes advantage of the tablets form factor to provide the user with an experience the website never could. Craftsy my lack a feature or too but judging from the satisfaction of it’s customer base I’d say they’ve got it right.
