Sorry to hear that, Gia. You have a few options at this point:
1. Try to figure out what’s going wrong, google it, or ask the app creator or a fellow iPad user for help.
2. Look for an alternative app.
3. Extract the PDFs from the zip files on your computer and then transfer the patterns to your iPad

Unfortunately this didn’t work for me. I got the iDownloader+ , downloaded the zip files from your site, extracted it via iDownloader but I don’t get the folder with the PDFs. The program asks how I want to open it but only gives me “Bump” as a choice.

It’s called PDF Converter. It’s great and works with iBooks, Dropbox, etc. I had a question about renaming files the other day and wrote to their support. I had an answer back within two hours! The lady was very helpful even showing screen shots in the email. I don’t remember if it was free or if I paid for it, but either way it’s well worth it!

Thanks, June. I have a great app that lets me save any web page as a PDF, which is handy for those blog sites with free patterns, but it doesn’t handle zip files! This will be very handy to have.

Thank you for sharing June! I experienced the frustration of not being able to download a pattern on my iPad! I look forward to being able to use it to view purchased patterns!
