The app is praised for ease of use and design features (rotate view, center line) and is updated regularly, with many considering it good value. Recurrent drawbacks include stability issues, occasional data loss of saved designs, manual bead coloring without auto-fill, missing print/export options, and some pricing concerns.

  • Rotation feature lets you view the braid from all sides.
  • Center/middle line indicator helps with alignment.
  • Regular updates and ongoing improvements from the developers.
  • Generally considered worth the price / good value for the features offered.
Cons
  • Stability and performance bugs (crashes, blank screens, PDF errors).
  • Saved designs can disappear / data loss.
  • Beads must be colored manually with no auto-fill or quick preview of the final pattern.
  • No printing/exporting option to print patterns.
  • Some users feel the price is high for the current functionality.

I started doing Kumihimo with beads about 6 months ago. I’ve been wishing there was a an easier way I could design my own pieces. I bought this app last night, and I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time! It is SO easy to use. I m excited about all the possibilities!

This app works very well but would be really nice to see an update accommodate for larger string lengths like 24 and 32!!! Please update?!?
