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!

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. 😉
One of the best App for beadding

New:
Build patterns with more bead types now, including Miyuki rocailles, Miyuki delicas, Toho, Preciosa, and Matubo.
Start a new pattern from the finished size you have in mind.
Search lists every pattern alphabetically, so they are easier to find.
Improved: Patterns open centered, and the slider in the editor drags more smoothly.
Also: The app is now available in Dutch, Polish, and Turkish.
