### 4/5 — いいアプリ！

*2026-08-03*

図案が作れて楽しい！
けど、拡大機能はあるもののボタンを押さないと拡大されないので
指2本で拡大にしてほしいです！！
でも楽しいです！！！

### 5/5 — 玩拼斗

*2026-07-28, version 1.9.2*

超棒

### 5/5 — Great for…

*2026-07-02, version 1.9.2*

Making my perler beads

### 4/5 — 縦固定をやめてほしい

*2026-05-25*

あらかた使えるが、縦方向に自動的にこていされるのはなんとかならないものか。スプリットビューで横に元絵を並べて使用したい。
また、小さいものを画像読み込みで変換するといまいち。細かく色を変換する必要はなくて、もう少しざっくりで色数絞っていいから、輪郭などしっかりひろってほしい。

### 5/5 — Easy to use straightforward app💕

*2026-05-14, version 1.9.2*

### 4/5 — Decent app!

*2026-01-23, version 1.9.1*

Does it’s job as advertised. Ads can be a little annoying and, maybe it’s just my specific pen, but it’s annoying that you can’t drag it and it draws. But the other features are really useful

### 5/5 — Super cool

*2026-01-18, version 1.9.1*

Allows for simple and easy planning of any beading project. Made it so smooth for my kids to jump right in.

### 5/5 — Hexagon Layout Tool

*2026-01-10, version 1.9.1*

Happy to have found this app with the Hexagon layout ability. My latest bead projects consist of multiple triangle patterns and this app is great for that. Would like the ability to copy repeated patterns within the layout…maybe in an update?
