Ratings and reviews

Love this app and I use it daily! Super easy to use. Numerous features that I've yet to see elsewhere. This app is OFTEN updated to add things ACTUAL beaders find useful. I've yet to run into an issue using the app.

This app is everything promised in the description and more. Plus, with constant new updates, it keeps getting better and better. The bead stash section is one-of-a-kind, and easy to use. It's perfect for organization and integrating your stash with your new designs. Also, I saw this morning that it was coming to PC, which is thrilling!

This app is a very good idea and as it's update has improved it significantly. I love that it now includes tutorial features so that you can track as you make the piece.
