### 5/5 — 便利！

*2026-03-26*

こぎん刺しにハーダンガーにも使えるのでとても便利

### 5/5 — Still learning, but Awesome!

*2026-03-17, version 2.60.4*

I’m new to the app and it definitely been a learning curve. I’m able to create a pattern but not sure in advance of what dimensions will be so I’m not sure how accurate my pattern is until I start beading it.  When I do start it’s very helpful for keeping to the pattern!

### 3/5 — オリムパスも追加してほしい

*2026-02-26*

オリムパスの糸番号が出るようにしてほしいです。

### 4/5 — ペンが使えて便利です。

*2026-01-31*

ビーズ刺繍の図案で使いました。
ペンが使えるので便利に使えます！

### 5/5 — I’ts the perfect app

*2026-01-26, version 2.60.4*

I love this app because it helps you a lot in what you’ll do.

### 3/5 — Pay for another app?!

*2025-12-30, version 2.60.4*

Ive had this app for many many years.  It really irritates me that I need to pay for ANOTHER app to have the updates.It was probably easier to create an entirely new app, but it would have been a nice gesture to allow, current paying customers, access to the app for free.

### 5/5 — ずっと昔からあるアプリ

*2025-12-11*

今みたいにドット絵や手芸アプリがない頃からずーっと続いてるアプリです。
買って良かったです。

### 3/5 — マークが選べたらいいとおもう

*2025-09-25*

マークが記号(？)だけではなく、アルファベットや、数字が選べたらいいのに。
使い慣れるまで、もう少し時間がかかりそうですが、慣れたら便利だろうと思う。

### 1/5 — 訳分からん

*2025-09-07*

写真の登録は出来て図案も出来るのに刺繍糸の番号をどうやったら見られるのか訳分からんです
一度アンインストールして最近再インストールしたけど図案の刺繍糸の番号を見やすくして欲しい
全然優しくない

### 1/5 — Wish I didn’t purchase

*2025-07-06, version 2.60.4*

This does not take files only photos to “convert”. It does an awful job at this. After I purchased found out there was a newer version anyway. What a waste.
