I’m new to the app and it definitely been a learning curve. I’m able to create a pattern but not sure in advance of what dimensions will be so I’m not sure how accurate my pattern is until I start beading it. When I do start it’s very helpful for keeping to the pattern!

I love this app because it helps you a lot in what you’ll do.

Ive had this app for many many years. It really irritates me that I need to pay for ANOTHER app to have the updates.It was probably easier to create an entirely new app, but it would have been a nice gesture to allow, current paying customers, access to the app for free.

This does not take files only photos to “convert”. It does an awful job at this. After I purchased found out there was a newer version anyway. What a waste.

Easy to use this app

I like having a design app for my ipad; it’s handy if I don’t feel like going to my pc to create something quickly. However, the developers left this app untouched and not updated for years and instead created a new app. I’m not buying a new version of the app after I’ve already paid for the original. They finally had a few minor updates about a year ago. The app isn’t always intuitive and the user’s guide isn’t always helpful but I will keep using it.

I was using excel but this is so much better

Love this app for my tatreez work and I even use it for making fun pixel posters. It works great with my iPad pencil. Docking a star because it does not automatically save your work and I have lost many valuable design hours that way. Makes me feel like I am in high school again and have to constantly remind myself to save my work.

Love the app, but please update the current DMC floss charts. It’s currently using some DMC floss that has been discontinued. Thanks

I used to love this app, now it’s unusable.

So many issues for an app that is intuitive and has a fast learning curve. Crashes and failing to do a function. Forget text or more than a few colors.

I am having hard time figuring some stuff and the link for user manual takes me to release notes… have a user manual where you put everything together so people wouldn’t have to go through all release notes. Also I think there needs to be an option to hide/unhide symbols. I can’t tell how my design actually looks like because of all the symbols

There is a big learning curve to this app. I consider myself good at picking up technology quickly, but this app has been difficult to get used to. I’ve also run into some glitches where the app stops working and I’ve had to close out, the issue with that is I loose all my work since there doesn’t seem to be auto save...seems like auto save would be a default (My app and device are up to date)

I have to improvise on symbols a lot. I use app to take my patterns from paper to pattern keeper. Works well. Giving it 4 stars because of lack of symbols. At times color is hard to add with symbol. Would also like mill hill bead option. Thank you.

The app is hard to use, it takes a lot of hours trying to figure it out.
I download it weeks ago, still haven’t been able to use it the right way.

I use this app to import pictures that I want to Crochet. I’ve done Movie Posters and other Collector Themed Items.

This is super difficult to use
Marydith_ • Nov 4, 2022
This thing is worthless, they need to hire some UX researchers badly. The “users manual” online is a joke, it only goes over updates, not actually how to use anything, add colors, etc.
Gavins_bat_girl • Sep 2, 2022
I also do bead patterns and I believe this is the ONLY app that includes Delica beads. For that purpose, this gets 5 stars. And oh, I also do cross-stitch so it’s a win-win!
