Ratings and reviews

Not free. Purchase of $2.99 is required to make your own patterns. Doesn't specify that said purchase is required for each pattern creation or if it's a one-time purchase. I don't like shady tactics. The pics make it look like it's free, so I download because who reads the "About this app" section? I would think about purchasing if it was more forthright and clear, since the pattern creation does look better than my current app for such things.

If you're a hard core beader, and want an app you can design your creations anytime or any place, it's worth the $2.99 one-time payment to use this user friendly app forever. I design and use my bead patterns right from my phone. I just slide the pattern down, so each row is displayed at the bottom of the grid. No mistakes. Zoom in and wella, your pattern is ready to be made. Like all computer programs, you have to play with it awhile, until you get the hang of it. Been using for 6 months.

VERY misleading app description. Can't create or edit ANYTHING without a purchase. If I didn't have to give it a rating in order to write a review, I wouldn't even give it 1 star. Falsely representing an app as free when it isn't is bulls#!*. I probably would have paid the $3, if they hadn't lied about it being free in the description. Too bad, cuz it looked like it might've been fun. Uninstalled.
