I've used planbead since 12-25 along with a couple online programs but find myself back in planbead. they update it regularly, always adding new features, very active on fb and have been on top of fixing any issues that are brought to their attention. it is also available on PC. you can access your patterns from either, as long as you have a paid account, for what it is it isn't too expensive weave along feature, access public patterns free. highly recommend!!
