Absolutely Love this app
Trialed the app and fell in love had a look at what things look like and paid for full access. I am hoping to be able to have the ability to change the font and layout of the word chart that could be really helpful for small businesses that would like to navigate and add additional personality to our work :D but as I said I love the app and can’t wait to make more designs <3

Pretty good.
Overall this app is great for what it’s for. Pretty intuitive to figure out. There are a few seemingly simple things that could make it more useful and less cumbersome, however. When resizing your pattern, it does not allow you to choose where to add the extra lines or rows, or where to cut them. That’s pretty annoying. I can’t figure out how it auto generates it as it seems to choose whatever it wants. There should also be a quick option to insert a line or row, or more, in between. When copy/pasting it only allows a large square/rectangle section rather than getting more specific to each bead. There must be a way to fix these things as most editing programs offer this functionality. I’d like to be able to select a section, hit the copy/paste, hit the mirror, hit the flip, and it be done, instead of having to select it 3 seperate times, when selecting is difficult to do due to clicking in the wrong box when zoomed out, too small to see. Additionally, as others have said, the colors not being accurate is frustrating. But - those are picky gripes from someone who’s worked with a lot of creative apps - all in all it’s a great app for the purpose.
Also, how do I export my custom palette to my other device?

Room for improvement
I bought the full version of this app after upgrading my MacBook, which sadly no longer supports BeadTool. Loomerly seems to be the best option out there as an alternative, but there are still some functions that can be improved for a better user experience. Scrolling when the project is zoomed in is glitchy and when I am using the paintbrush tool, it doesn’t allow for scrolling; I have to click it off, scroll to the next section I want to work on, and click on Paint again. Extremely frustrating. It would also be very helpful to have a tool that draws a straight line — this was a most useful feature in BeadTool. I don’t have an iPad or pencil that can help me draw, it’s all with a trackpad on the laptop—as careful as I am, I still spend lots of time going back with the eraser to tidy up the lines. Also, I have not been able to find the Help>FAQ>Report a Problem button in the app, as clicking into the Help menu yields nothing at all. So though I am glad to have a dedicated app that allows me to continue designing my beading projects, I am hopeful that future iterations will upgrade some of these functions to make it more seamless and enjoyable to use. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

I love this app!
I love this app. I have made so many designs with it, I would like to suggest something though. That you would be able to somehow make designs with bugle beads because I know that people make designs with them, other then that I love the app and hope for more updates.
