It’s super easy to use. I also love that I can add in the beads that I own, which helps keep track, as well as add in color palettes I come across. Still learning the more advanced features but it’s a great app. I would ,however, like to see the addition of herringbone as an option maybe in the future. All in all a great app. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-06-24, version 3.13* I recommend the app to anyone who beads. I was so use to doing my patterns on graph paper and it started hurting my hands. With this app it is more easier. ### 5/5 — Einfach zu bedienen *2026-06-23* Ein super Programm, das die Arbeit sehr erleichtert! Sehr durchdacht, kann ich nur empfehlen! ### 5/5 — Bonne application *2026-06-19* Bien pensé, pratique, très agréable et facile à utiliser ### 4/5 — Just a couple improvements needed *2026-06-12, version 3.13* The only thing I wish was different is that I wish it would just select the whole row while you are weaving a pattern and I wish it would tell you the number of each color in the row. Otherwise it is great! ### 4/5 — Good app but needs sync *2026-06-07, version 3.13* The app is good and it’s a helpful way of designing bead patterns. But we really need iCloud sync between devices rather than having to send backup files manually to do it. I also echo the point about editing the size of a pattern - yes I know you can do it but you shouldn’t have to exit out of the editing mode to change it and then go back into the pattern. Also it would be helpful if you could rotate the view without rotating the pattern. I often find I need to physically rotate the device or lie and say I’m doing brick stitch so I can see the pattern the way it works for my brain. Also the Home Screen sort order doesn’t stick - it will change to most recently created even though I keep setting it to A-Z. And it will sometimes show zoomed in sections rather than the full pattern with a little space around the edge. Basically I like the app but everything feels like it needs more clicks than it should eg to edit a pattern you enter it then press hamburger then edit then edit pattern. Just give us a shortcut to edit on that front page. ### 4/5 — Still playing around *2026-06-05, version 3.13* I’d love to see Toho AIKO colors represented in the palettes. This app is great for keeping me on task with my next bead. I’m still learning ### 5/5 — Love *2026-05-29, version 3.13* I would love more font options ### 5/5 — Gute App *2026-04-22* Die App gefällt mir sehr und ich habe mir die Vollversion gekauft. Ich brauche aber dringend eine größere Fläche für meine Muster. Ich nutze die App nicht nur um Armbänder zu gestalten. Derzeit plane ich eine große Stickerei für ein american native Dress. Es wäre daher super wenn die Möglichkeit besteht in der App die Größe der Fläche dementsprechend anpassen zu können. Derzeit bekomme ich nicht mal die Hälfte des Musters in die Planung wobei der Bereich nur die eine Schulter und den Teil vom Rücken zeigt. Der vordere Teil passt nicht mehr in die Fläche. Ganz zu schweigen vom gesamten Schulter Bereich mit dem dazugehörigen Rücken und Brustbereich. ### 4/5 — Inventaire *2026-04-19* Application super. Serait complète si on pouvait créer un inventaire de nos perles avec nuancier ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-04-17, version 3.11.3* My husband gifted me this app as a little random gift. I love it. There’s not much to say because it’s so good and just does what it’s suppose to - help you make beading patterns. The only thing I’m hoping is that John Bead Cylin bead colors will be supported in the future. (: ### 5/5 — J’adore *2026-03-29, version 3.11* Efficace, simple, un must! ### 5/5 — Leoomerly *2026-02-14* Здравствуйте, как можно купить приложение в России , хотелось бы иметь полную версию ### 3/5 — Great APP for Basic Pattern. Could improve some functions to be excellent *2026-02-05, version 3.9* I enjoy this app. I use it for basic patterns and to convert photos into patterns, but I need to bring the graphics into other applications to further manipulate them and bring my full vision to life. It is great for the basics, but some functions could be improved to make it more robust. I like that you can build your own color palettes and add new or missing colors to the standard palettes. I wish we had the same flexibility in other areas, such as: - Additional beading stitch options (e.g., herringbone, chenille, RAW, etc.) - The ability to mix multiple bead sizes in grid patterns - The option to create a personal library of bead sizes and shapes - The option to add or create a custom symbol library to identify more bead finishes than the standard set - The ability to simulate thread width, dimensions, and color within the grid, since thread can be just as much an element of the design ### 3/5 — Great APP for Basic Pattern.

Would not convert pic accurately and added more colors than needed could not print zoom pic ### 1/5 — False price advertisement *2026-01-16, version 3.9* I just purchased the app at a one time offer of $29.99 and was charged $52.85. There’s no customer support on the app, unless I’m missing something or no detailed explanation for the up charges. Please adjust my payment to the offering price or refund my order. ### 1/5 — Payment methods declined *2025-04-30, version 2.51.5* Trying to purchase for sale price but keep getting payment method declined on both PayPal and credit card. ### 1/5 — Horrendous. *2025-02-01, version 2.50.1* You’re expected to pay for the “””full version””” for basic features. You will be paying 30 dollars to draw with your finger. That they pretend is a great deal by claiming the normal price is 70. Predatory. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-07-10, version 2.36.1* Started to like this app but the back up does not work. I have created a few designs that took several hours perfecting. Lost them all even after i backed up the files. app needs work…only can save two to four designs at a time and its a gamble which disappear when you close and reopen the app ### 1/5 — Free app not functional *2023-08-20* I’m not buying the paid app just to use an eraser tool **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. In the latest version, you can now try more of the app before buying. We hope that helps :) ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-03-14, version 2.2* Disfunctional app, distorts the images badly, the interface is very primitive. Useless ### 1/5 — Trying to recreate a pattern *2023-01-06, version 1.7* For the life of me, I can’t figure these positive reviews. Not at all suitable for beginners. Instructions are sparse and inadequate. No definitions. You can’t count beads like you would stitches. How the devil are you people figuring this out? ### 1/5 — Can’t try it before you buy *2022-10-29, version 1.4.2* Cannot change anything without the purchase. It would most likely be a good tool. But if I have to buy it first I’ll keep looking. **Developer response:** Hi Caddesigner, thank you for your feedback. In the latest version, you can now try more of the app (such as peyote and brick stitch) before buying. Please give it a try and update your review with your thoughts :) ### 2/5 — Word chart generator is inaccurate *2025-10-15, version 3.6* If you are drawing a pattern in peyote and do a tapered increase or decrease the word chart generator is always wrong ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great program *2026-08-31, version 3.13.6* We just started with Loomerly after using a different pattern app, it is so much easier to use. I just wish there were more options for bead sizes for the fringe. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-30, version 3.13.6* Love it. On the iPhone app I do wish there was a way to move or hid some of the image options or to move the image while working on it that it doesn’t always stay centered. I hit the image buttons a lot. There isn’t much room on the sides to have the buttons there. Little cumbersome but overall I love it! ### 5/5 — Fab *2026-08-17, version 3.13.6* Hi I love this app. It makes designing a pleasure and app was very straight forward. ### 5/5 — Lifesaver app *2026-08-13, version 3.13.5* I am so pleased with this app. I have been able to make a great collection of patterns. Having them all in one place and on my phone is great. The different options for for the base image is a great feature. 100% happy I purchased this app. ### 5/5 — Versatile and easy to use *2026-08-03, version 3.13.4* I tried paper designs when I first started beading, but quickly realized an app was going to make my life much easier and beading more fun. I liked being able to try out all of the features before committing, but haven’t looked back since investing in this invaluable tool. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Love it! Worth it! *2026-07-18, version 3.13.3* Really love this app. It’s very well designed and pretty intuitive. They thought of everything though I do wish one of the templates had the three-section triangle shape (adjustable for size) as are commonly done with the peyote stitch. Just shape options in general would be really cool for making patterns for more geometric beading (ex: 3D stars, kaleidoscopes—both done with peyote). Still, great app and so worth it! ### 5/5 — So much fun *2026-07-05* I love this. So enjoyable to design designs and change them. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review, we're really glad you're enjoying the app :) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-05, version 3.13.1* I do a lot of peyote pattern creations and this app has been wonderfully helpful in helping me create original designs. My only complaint is that some Miyuki Delica colors that I own are not in the app, so I have to find “work arounds” to add my colors. ### 5/5 — Best option *2026-07-01, version 3.13.1* I’ve used probably all the beading software programs and this is definitely the best and the most up-to-date. It’s also not run by a Russian company that pretends to have a US address. My big issues are that although you can exchange one color for another, you can’t switch two colors with each other. Also, they don’t have Toho Aiko, which is a pretty big problem for me because I send a number of clients the design for approval and create about 90% in Toho Aiko. Some of the Toho colors are pretty far off from the actual color. In addition to getting those Aiko colors, it would be nice to be able to just have a CMYK option to create your own color. There’s a few bugs when you export it, especially around the line breaks. I spend almost an hour in the time to export it in PDF, then do a find and replace in the word chart because I like changing it to my own shorthand for the colors as well as giving them an actual color in that chart. Plus, I like to add cell borders around each row. These are not insurmountable issues, and it really is a nice piece of software. I think the other programs had many of the same problems and were incredibly unstable, although the exporting process was better. I have no hesitancy recommending loomerly wholeheartedly to anyone looking. ### 5/5 — Diseñar es fácil con esta App LOOMERLY *2026-06-26, version 3.13* Muy recomendada esta aplicación! Me encanta diseñar allí y demasiado útil --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
