So I can’t suggest this app enough! Seriously, even the free version is better than anything else I’ve ever used. The tools are self explanatory, easy to figure out, and expansive. If you need to adjust a pattern once you’ve started? It can be done with a couple taps. Need to copy and paste a section? Done. They’ve thought of everything. My only criticism; when making white outlined earrings I’d love to be able to change the background to make it easier to see. But that’s just a small detail that I can work around. I’m going through my work and mapping out each of my designs to share with other creators. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked to share a link to this app, because everyone in the community is catching on to how great this is!
Developer Response
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. We’re really glad the app has been useful for your designs, and it means a lot to know that you’ve been recommending it to other beaders.💛 Your suggestion about changing the background color for light patterns is a very good one. We’ve added it to our list!
Finally!

This app has all the good features of other apps in a VERY user friendly platform. I just finished designing a beaded GUITAR STRAP with a wide variety of images that I successfully converted to a loom pattern including a rainbow trout, hummingbird, Hebrew sayings, medicine wheels, wolf prints, and an eagle feather. There’s NO WAY I could have done this without this app. I tried others and got frustrated very quickly and always came back to this one. So easy to do WHATEVER you need for your projects once you learn it (quickly). I won’t recommend any of the other “popular” apps anymore. This is my go to!
Developer Response
Wow! 😍 This is incredible to read. Thank you for sharing your experience. 💛Designing something as detailed as a guitar strap with that variety of imagery is no small project, so it’s great to hear that our app supported you all the way through.We’re really happy it became your go-to. That’s exactly what we’re building for. 😎
Love it

As title says, I love this ap the best of the few I’ve tried. It’s simple to use and pretty intuitive. I love how you can select which beads you are using. I have a suggestion for future updates. I am really, really, really bad about trying to match my bead’s colors. If there was a way to get the preset color pallets for Delicas, it would elevate this ap’s worth. 😉
Developer Response
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It means a lot to hear that Threadologie feels simple and intuitive. Preset Delica palettes are exactly the kind of improvement we’re working hard on. We’re just taking time to make it simple and useful 💛
It actually works!

This app is really nice. It actually changes my pictures into a pattern. I struggle with that, so this helps me a lot! The only thing I wish it had was higher color content. It only goes to 50 colors. It would be perfect if we could have at least 100 colors to use, 50 is limiting.
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind review! 💛 We’re very happy to hear that the image conversion is helping you create patterns more easily. We appreciate your suggestion about increasing the color limit and have added it to our feedback. Happy beading!
Thank you for your feedback and feature requests - they help me improve the app!
New: Pin the rulers to the screen edges so row and column numbers stay in view while you scroll big patterns. In bead-by-bead tracking, the color strip now shows where you are: finished runs fade, and the run you're on is ringed and counts up with each bead you place.
Fixed: The pattern preview on the completion screen now shows up just as it should.
