Waste Of money **Developer response:** The bug is now located and should be fixed in version 1.5. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2023-02-18* Can you create an update, I can’t get it to work, crashes every time, haven’t got it to work once. Better still can I have my money back? **Developer response:** Apologies for the late reply. The problem was caused by a serious bug that crashed the app modern iPads. The bug is now fixed in version 1.5. If you would still like a refund, you have to apply for one through AppStore ### 1/5 — Won’t let me save or change anything… *2023-01-19* I just bought this and am unable to save or change any options. Every time I try, the app closes. Also, it would be nice to be able to fine tune designs, adjusting single circle/square colors to better fit the image. Disappointed… Can’t even use if it keeps closing!!! **Developer response:** As of version 1.5 the bug that caused the app to crashed when saving is fixed. Unfortunately there are no plans of fine tuning the designs in the app, but you can select "Export design" (from the share menu, that works now) and open the exported design in e.i. the app "Pixel Designer" for further editing. ### 4/5 — Hi there, *2021-07-01* Just bought your app, I really like it. there is one problem though and that is I can’t share it. Whenever I press share, it bugs out and quits. Hope to see a fix soon :) **Developer response:** Thanks :) That bug should be fixed in the latest update ### 4/5 — Improved but missing key detail *2020-12-12* I’m happy with a lot of the details that were updated in this version. But the ad suggests that you can get a legend for the colours. It doesn’t show when I save as a PDF. Is this only available if you print? I hardly ever print my patterns. Way easier to organize them in the cloud and saves paper too! Would love an update please! **Developer response:** Hello and thank you for the feedback. When exporting as PDF a legend is generated of which colors and how many are used. The save-as preview might not show it but if you open the PDF it is there. However the palettes ‘full color’, ‘grayscale’ and ‘duotone ‘ do not provide legends as they do not store information of color names. I have just released an update with some minor improvements to the export feature and PDF-generator. ## Frequently asked questions about Bead Master Pro ### What is Bead Master Pro used for?
