### 5/5 — 太好玩了！

*2026-07-31*

种类很多，还好玩。样子也很漂亮。不过大部分都要看视频，如果能修改一下就可以更好了！

### 5/5 — 里面内容很不错，体验感也很好

*2026-07-30*

这个盘一盘真的特别减压，而且没有广告，盘的方式也挺多的，很好玩

### 5/5 — Awesome product

*2025-06-28*

南无🙏阿弥陀佛

### 4/5 — 不是很舒服

*2025-06-11*

有点难受 建议暴力一点

### 4/5 — Nice app , missing one feature

*2024-09-17*

This is a very nice app. Very effective and calming… with one glaring exception: Every time I bring it up, even if it’s not closed, it restarts with the screen full of many tens of patterns & choices. There is no way to save the one pattern of beads that I always use, which is a frustrating way to begin what is otherwise a peaceful moment. Please add an option to choose-and-always-load a favorite. 🙏🏻

这是一个非常好的应用程序。非常有效和平静......有一个明显的例外：每次我打开它时，即使它没有关闭，它也会重新启动，屏幕上充满了数十种模式和选择。没有办法保存我一直使用的那种珠子图案，这是一种令人沮丧的方式来开始原本平静的时刻。请添加一个选项来选择并始终加载收藏夹。 🙏🏻 [from Google Translate]
