A New I-loom App

On By Michel McDonaldIn HobbyLeave a comment

I am still using my i-loom, because I still feel like the i-loom is the best tool for making friendship bracelets. The makers of the app discontinued the app a couple or few years ago, and I somehow knew this would happen, so before that happened, I copied all of the patterns I had bought and transferred them to a friendship bracelet designer program on my computer. And it was lucky that I did because they did in fact discontinue the app.

I don’t know what made me think about it, but today, literally just now, I went to Google and searched for the term “i-loom app” just because I was hoping to find an app that was similar to the i-loom app. I was hoping someone decided to create a new app. I found the actual i-loom app and downloaded it to my phone and went to sign in and it actually signed me in to my old account with all my patterns still there. It even allowed me to create a new pattern with letters, which is something that it wouldn’t let me do before because I had too many patterns in my account. When I say too many, I think it’s because they are repeats because I accidentally clicked the restore purchase button a few times because I didn’t know what I was doing.

So the app works again and now I can buy new patterns and heck, I can buy the packs on Amazon and use the code to unlock the packs that I wanted to buy.

I hope for anyone who has lost all their patterns that they will see this and go check it out and use the app again to make bracelets.

One thing I wished the app would do was to create new patterns from the patterns I have that aren’t in the app. Patterns I have bought from people on Etsy. That would be awesome because then I could use the app with a tablet instead of having to look at a printout or the pattern on the screen of my tablet or phone. It would be so much easier to use the i-loom app.

I am working on this pattern for someone and believe me, it would be great if I could import this pattern to the i-loom app. That would be so awesome. Please make that option available

So the app doesn’t have great reviews, but I just gave them a 5 star and said what I just said here lol. Here are some screenshots. Apparently it came back last year in October.

The Fated Chronicles by Humphrey Quinn

I bought two books in the “We Witches Three” series (image below) because there was something in there that said that it was like “Charmed”. I was very intrigued and I wanted to read it. Well, I started reading the first one, and I saw where it said that it was part of a series of books from Humphrey Quinn, so I looked at the first one and decided, okay, I’ll just buy the first book and read that first so that I’ll be caught up and I won’t be lost, once of course I finish that series up until the “We Witches Three” series.  The fated Chronicles volume 1 was actually free. I guess that’s where they get you hooked.


I discovered at the end of “The Fated Chronicles: Volume 1” that the “We Witches Three” series is a stand-alone series, so I didn’t have to do that, but I really enjoyed reading “The Fated Chronicles Volume 1”.

These two kids who are twins that are turning 13 are living in a trailer with their Uncle Arnon and are constantly on the run. They go to their usual summer camping spot, and they run into a group of people who are very secretive and don’t like outsiders.

I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’m just going to leave it at that. There’s magic and that’s pretty much enough reason for me to read.

I bought volume 2 to start reading tomorrow because I don’t want to be left on a cliffhanger LOL.

If you are wondering why I’m even posting this, I like to post books that I like to read. Nobody asked me to, I just wanted to let other people know there are good books out there to read. This book is not difficult to read at all, so a child or teenager could read it with no problem.

If you decide that you want to read it, let me know and let me know how you liked it. The volume 1 book, as I said before, is free, so you don’t really have anything to lose. These are the Kindle version of the books, by the way. I rarely ever buy paperback books because of my bad eyes. Ebooks are just easier and they don’t collect dust.

Thank you for reading my ramblings.
