### 1/5 — Pattern.

*2025-07-18, version 3.8*

Hard to open stitches on picture

### 5/5 — Шикарное приложение

*2025-02-17, version 3.8*

Спасибо большое за такое приложение! Уже давно его использую, и было бы круто если бы добавили следующие функции: 1. Возможность закрашивать ячейку полупрозрачным слоем, так будет видно какая часть работы сплетена. 2. Возможность добавлять и удалять ряды с любой стороны. Очень не хватает когда понимаешь что еще один ряд сверху отлично дополнил бы схему. 😎👍🏻

### 3/5 — It is a little bit too hard

*2024-06-02*

It is a little bit too hard to find color’s in perler beads

### 5/5 — Great app, but no option to remove ads by paying from what I can tell?

*2024-03-26*

The app is great and better than the paid one I use by a longshot. The thing that will help is an option to remove ads by paying. I would gladly pay to remove these obnoxious ads.

### 5/5 — わかりやすくて使いやすい

*2023-10-17, version 3.5*

図案作成に使用しています。
このアプリがないと本当に困ります。
ビーズ織やアイロンビーズの図案が作れるアプリはたくさんあるのですが、
ビーズステッチの図案が作れるのはこのアプリ以外知りません。

### 5/5 — ビーズ制作に良い。

*2023-07-03, version 3.4*

素晴らしいアプリです。 まさに欲しかった事ができます。

### 5/5 — Better than a different paid one!

*2022-11-26*

I find this so helpful & easy

### 5/5 — The Best!!!

*2022-11-22, version 3.4*

Отличное приложение! 
Разные варианты схем
Возможность подгрузить рисунок
Можно редактировать цвета под нужные оттенки

### 5/5 — Great for golden venture folding designs

*2022-10-03*

This app is great to design for golden venture folding models. There are a lot of customization options with the colors, layout, grid size, etc. You can also import a photo and have it converted to beads which is cool.

### 4/5 — Amazing but…

*2022-08-05*

This is by far the best app I’ve used for making Perler bead designs. However I do wish there was an option to have colors of beads show instead of it just being random colors.
