Beads Creator 4+

Could you make this a little more user friendly for us color blind folks? A couple of things that would help me out would be if you could lock the “show color name” feature, instead of clicking a color and it defaulting back to the “add” option. Or if there was a way that you could click the color from the beads list, and it would highlight the location of all that particular color on the image. My last suggestion would be if you had some sort of scan option to use via your phone camera that would identify the color of an individual bead if you did not know what color you’re looking at. It would be nice to be able to sort some of the assorted containers of beads I have into individual colors (literally impossible being color blind). Other than some minor tweaks, this is a solid app.

I love the variety of colors and the fact it counts the number of color of beads for the project. This has been so fantastic over my old method of graph paper and colored pencils. I can experiment more and change it without having to start allllllll over again. Great app.

The only thing that could make this better would be a cloning tool to clone sections of design as well as the ability to make the template larger instead of a rigid square that you have to select at the beginning of the design.

So as a note to the developer in a future update if you could make the templates more flexible for sizing. For example I love the square template but I really need a long rectangle to design full length bracelets and western hat bands. I have been able to do so by making several squares and then putting them together. It would be awesome if I could create a board the size of my current project especially for words and long designs. As well as be able to expand the template after the design is in progress if you need to make it longer.

The clone tool idea could be great if you could copy a section and paste it or mirror it. That way you could save a lot of design time with certain designs. Just food for thought!!! Hopefully you guys see this and maybe add the ideas into the app.

It’s great for designing patterns, but it can be a little different than what you may be used to. First, it is a little strange that there is no undo button and you have to go though a lot of trouble sometimes to fix one mistake or change something. And it is a little bit strange how there is a button to zoom in and out instead of just doing it with your fingers, which can be confusing. But it is great, have a fun time using it, and already made tons of patterns and it’s been only one day that I’ve had this app.
