I'm not even angry about this I'm just sad **Developer response:** Hello, we're really sorry to hear you're not happy. We maintain over 100,000 lines of code to keep the app running smoothly on iPhone, iPad and Mac. The one-time fee helps us to continue this work. Please note: It is a one-time fee, not a subscription (so you only pay once). Thank you :) ### 5/5 — A must have *2025-02-26* The app is great! Still learning all the features. I have used it quite a bit making patterns. It’s super easy to change all of one color to a different color if needed. Can easily track your progress of the pattern you are working on. App does not have any bugs that I have noticed. Very fast doesn’t lag. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review, we're really glad you're enjoying the app :) ### 5/5 — Çok iyi! *2024-12-08, version 2.80* Aradığım her şey var. Pixel sanatıyla uğraşanlar için mükemmel bir uygulama🫶🏻 ### 5/5 — TOP App *2024-08-10* Die App ist wirklich toll und hat sich insbesondere über die Jahre stark entwickelt. Man hat die Auswahl an Artkal, Perler,Nabbi Perlen und nicht nur in Midi sondern auch in Mini. Die Umwandlung funktioniert sehr präzise. Bei Comic Bildern funktioniert sie fast besser als bei Echtporträts. Man kann die Bilder perfekt als PDF mit eigenem Logo exportieren. Großes Lob an die Entwickler dafür. Ich bin extrem zufrieden mit der App und so Happy so eine tolle App für so einen guten Preis gefunden zu haben. Ich nutze die App sowohl auf dem iPhone als auf meinem iPad. ### 5/5 — Bought an iPad for this app *2024-07-07, version 2.69* Been a lifetime android user, I went and bought an iPad just to use this app and it’s been a game-changer. I had been using GIMP to make my patterns for a while now, but the fact that I don’t really know how to use gimp has been holding me back from doing more. The ease with which I can convert a photo and immediately get to playing with the settings to get the portrait exactly how I want it with a color palette i set up is fantastic. I’d happily pay more than $30 for this app. ### 5/5 — Great tool for Perler beading! *2024-06-25, version 2.68* This app works great for converting any photo into a perler bead pattern. I’ve been using it since 2020 and have made many amazing pieces of art using this app. ### 5/5 — Idioma *2024-06-17, version 2.66* Ojalá el tutoríal fuera en español y sería perfecta ### 5/5 — Empfehlenswert *2024-06-05* Tolles Programm! Schön wäre die Option, Teile auszuschneiden und verschieben zu können, oder etwas gespiegeltes noch verschieben zu können. Oder sich eine individuelle Palette zu erstellen mit den verschiedenen Bügelperlen Marken gemeinsam. Ansonsten ein super praktisches Programm, das beste was ich bisher gefunden habe! ### 5/5 — Awesome App. 1 suggestion to make it even better: *2024-05-17, version 2.64* There should be an option to order your shopping list straight from the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2024-04-17* I’ve had this app for over 3 years now and it has been super helpful for planning a variety of crafts! I even opted for the paid version and it’s definitely worth it. There are so many setting options that I still haven’t even explored them all. This app has saved me soooo much time with planning/mapping and making a variety of jewelry, decorations, gifts, you name it. Totally worth the money if you enjoy the art of fuse beads! :D ### 5/5 — Love *2024-03-26, version 2.61* I love using the app. It’s great. If I had 1 complaint it’s that the program doesn’t go higher than 10 boards. I’d love to make larger patterns. ### 5/5 — Más colores *2024-02-23, version 2.60* Perfecta, aunque me falta que añadan los últimos colores de Hama 😜 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paywall app *2025-03-16, version 2.83.3* You have to pay for every little feature! I’m just trying to create some cute perler patterns! ### 1/5 — 30 DOLLARS!? *2024-12-14, version 2.81* Why is it 30 dollars?? On “sale” from 75??? ### 1/5 — Okay ig *2024-10-31, version 2.78* It’s good if I just wish when I insert photos of the simplest thing they say if I wanna make it more accurate I have to get more boards ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-05-27, version 2.65* Waste of time. You can do the same thing online for free with the same low quality. ### 1/5 — Engañabobos *2024-03-27, version 2.61* Te la venden como gratis pero una vez metes la imagen y la configuras te piden que compres para poder tener el resultado ### 1/5 — This is a horrible app *2024-03-22* I wanted a app that I could make pattern ms for perler beads for free but this app doesn’t they ask for about 58 dollars for this app just to make patterns for perler beads I’d recommend not buying this or installing it **Developer response:** Hi quidd suchs, we're really sorry to hear you're not happy. We maintain over 100,000 lines of code to keep the app running smoothly on your device. The one-time fee helps us to continue this work. Thank you :) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-08-10, version 2.48* This app is not super friendly and I highly regret purchasing it for $14. No refunds and I won’t even be using it. There are much easier ones available for free than this one. ### 1/5 — Nicht sehr empfehlenswert *2021-10-21* Ich habe ein einfaches Bild mit drei Farben versucht in so ein bügelperlen Bild zu machen aber es kommt nichts richtiges dabei raus. Egal wie ich es einstelle es kommt fast garnicht an das Original heran. Der Rand ist original grau und die App macht es braun und ich kann es nicht verstellen. Es ist schon ein pixelbild aber man konnte nichts abzählen weshalb ich die App downloadete. Ich habe Geld bezahlt und nichts richtiges kommt dabei raus. **Developer response:** Hallo sammy13580, es tut uns sehr leid zu hören, dass Sie nicht zufrieden sind. Können Sie uns bitte eine E-Mail senden (support@subtlabs.com), damit wir Ihnen helfen können, es zum Laufen zu bringen? Danke :) ### 1/5 — Nur gegen Geld nutzbar *2021-08-29* Wieso schreibt man das nicht direkt in die Beschreibung. Die App ist völlig nutzlos wenn man nicht bezahlt. Ich hasse so ein Geschäftsgebaren, hier zielt man nur auf Downloads ab, damit man dann wieder für Geld unternehmen Reichweite verkaufen kann. Der Idiot ist wieder einmal der User. Solche Apps sollte man meiden. Misst Verein. **Developer response:** Hallo Lukas21J, es tut uns sehr leid zu hören, dass Sie nicht zufrieden sind. Mit der Demoversion können Sie die App kostenlos testen. Sie können es dann kaufen, wenn Sie zufrieden sind. Wir werden dies in der Beschreibung deutlicher machen. Danke :) ### 1/5 — A l’air correcte *2021-08-15* L’appli me propose un prix en promo à 3,99€ mais l’achat est impossible, car il y a une erreur. Dommage... **Developer response:** Nous sommes vraiment désolés qu'il y ait eu une erreur. Ce problème devrait être résolu dans la dernière version :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best app I’ve found for bead patterns! *2026-06-27, version 3.11* I’ve created so many beautiful bead patterns with this app, and it’s incredibly easy to use. One of my favorite features is that the patterns are automatically adjusted to fit the exact number of beads on the pegboard, which makes planning projects so much easier. The editing tools are intuitive, the workflow is smooth, and creating new designs is fast and enjoyable. The premium version is absolutely worth the price. It has become an essential part of my creative process. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Best App for Fuse Bead Art *2026-06-05* I have been using PerlyPop for a month or so and have created some very big and cool projects!!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review, we're really glad you're enjoying the app :) ### 5/5 — Best Perler App EVER *2026-02-10, version 3.9* I never write reviews. This app is a dream to use ### 5/5 — Instrumental to Perler Aficionados *2025-11-15* Oh this app is instrumental. Gone are the days of me squinting at blurry pixelated images online and trying to carefully follow along and making tons of mistakes. While it takes a little extra work to create the bead pattern design, it truly makes life so much easier. You can map out everything, using what colors you have on hand, choose how you want it laid out, and have at it. I highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review, we're really glad you're enjoying the app :) ### 5/5 — Mise à jour *2025-11-01* Bonjour, alors déjà à ceux qui hésitent à prendre l’application, lancez vous, elle vaux largement plus que sont mini prix ! Au développeur : j’aimerai savoir si vous allez ajouter la nouvelle gamme de perles artkal mini M compatible avec la gamme C. J’ai tellement hâte de la prendre, j’attend juste que vous implantiez la nouvelle gamme pour créer mes motifs et acheter selon mes besoin ^^ Toujours ravie de cette application après plusieurs année. **Developer response:** Réponse mise à jour : Bonjour, la dernière version (3.8) inclut désormais la palette « Artkal mini M Series ». Nous espérons que cela vous sera utile :) --- Merci pour votre avis. Nous sommes ravis que l'application vous plaise. Vous pouvez désormais ajouter vos propres couleurs à l'application. Accédez simplement à l'onglet « Palettes » sur l'écran d'accueil > « + » > « Nouvelle couleur ». Nous espérons que cela vous sera utile. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2025-09-14, version 3.5* I absolutely love this app. I was very nervous to spend $20 dollars on it, but it’s definitely worth it. I do wish I could make folders to separate my pattern in instead of just tags, but other than that it’s perfect. The print feature is my absolute favorite! ### 5/5 — Best app for perler beads! *2025-07-29, version 3.3* The most useful app for creating custom perler projects. Very well thought out work flow and options. Worth every penny. ### 5/5 — Lifesaver! *2025-07-08* Loving this app even more after the vertical orientation update. This app helps me design perlers without having to struggle with pegboards and beads and the hazards of having cats (and clumsiness) that might knock over a work in progress. Even for just designing pixel art, the UI is simple and intuitive to pick up, and the constricted art pallets help plan out projects without having to guess the closest matching color. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review, we're really glad you're enjoying the app :) ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2025-04-28* I’m normally leery to drop $20 on an app, but Perlypop is worth every penny!! It offers a TON of customization (I love the personalized palettes), the UI is really intuitive, and being able to isolate specific bead colors is incredibly helpful! Overall, if you’re interested in stepping up your beading game, this is the app for you! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review, we're really glad you're enjoying the app :) ### 5/5 — Fantastic tool *2025-04-19, version 2.83.5* Love the app, up-to-date bead color list, easy to learn interface, editor, ability to zoom in and clearly see the color code per bead, bead/distance counting tool, and numerous other features. One suggestion for improvement is better support for converting sprites, where I would like to just have the app use the size of the image, in pixels, to determine boards (based on pips per board). Specifically, I enjoy converting game sprites to patterns, and sometimes need to cut a sprite from a sprite sheet. Having to select the number of boards often results in a resized image, especially when I try to crop out a portion of a source image or use the option to remove the background. The app is terrific as-is, but this one addition would make it absolutely perfect! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
