### 2/5 — Share and new do not work

*2023-12-04*

Share button does not work along with the new button.  There are no marks for bead placement.  Not worth paying for.

### 3/5 — Tolle Idee, aber…

*2020-12-12*

Gerade für unterrichtliche Zwecke sollte es einen optionalen Hintergrund geben, der einer Steckplatte mit Stiften gleicht. Das macht die Planung und Koordination für Kinder einfacher.
Darüber hinaus sollten unbedingt auch schräge Anordnungen ohne Lücken ermöglicht werden.
Dann wäre die App wirklich richtig toll mit Kindern einsetzbar.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und Ihre tollen Ideen. Ich werde versuchen, sie einzubeziehen. Vielen Dank

neues Update mit Pins und Farbpaletten

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2018-09-12*

There are better apps that let you create simple perler bead designs with more colors and features for free. I should have looked closer at the layout because I thought this one had an offset grid layout as well as a regular grid. So I guess I’m out a buck for nothing.
