Ratings and reviews

This app fills a weird market void - beam loom pattern designer. It's a shame there's not a better option, because this app works, but it needs some upgrading for sure. It's a bit like a 1997 desktop coloring app. Don't expect slickness or for it to be responsive, but if you lumber away at it, you can make some loom patterns eventually. 2 stars because it works, vaguely, needs some TLC

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.

It looks like it has some good features but it wants you to pay 3$ just to use the app. No ad option, no free trial. Tbh if there was either one of these things I'd probably have a much better opinion on it. Also I tried to use one of the free patterns that comes with it, and its super laggy. I wouldn't be that surprised if this app is almost as old as I am.
