Beads and Beyond app review: your beading publication
Introduction
If you enjoy beads and crafts then the Beads and Beyond app will bring you all the jewels, gems, and information from the Beads and Beyond magazine. This publication can be enjoyed on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone and is packed full of fabulous ideas in its 92 pages. This publication is widely known as a go-to source for crafting and beading projects. What’s great is that the content is geared to both those who are just starting out in the world of crafting and for those who have been doing it for years.

Plenty of Inspiration
Just because you have a bunch of crafting supplies sitting in front of you doesn’t necessarily mean you know what you want to create with them or even how to use them. The Beads and Beyond publication can help you out by offering ideas, tips, and inspiration. This magazine can be enjoyed by any level of crafter. The magazine has been around since 2007 and now with the digital edition you will have it at your fingertips no matter where you are. Think how handy this can be while you're actually at the craft store and you are trying to remember what items you need for the project you read about. You can just pull it up on your iOS device.

A Number of Improvements
Last year the app ha d a pretty major overhaul that seems to have left the majority of users quite happy. It made sure to offer faster browsing speeds, better reading capability while downloading, a number of bug fixes, performance and stability enhancements, and even updates made to the look, feel, and navigation of the app. All in all the update left people even happier with the offering.

What I like is that you can view a preview of an issue before purchasing it, which is great if you don’t have a subscription. This ensures you’re getting an issue that has content you are interested in. When it comes to the magazine itself I find flipping through the pages to be fluid, fast, and easy.
