Love it, but major photo quality issues
I love the entire concept and what the app has to offer! I even purchased one of the film packs because I love it so much, and normally I dont even bother spending money on photo apps. The designs are great and its easy to use. However, I really care about the photo quality of my pictures after I process them with an app. That leads me to the only issue I have with this app. I upload a great quality picture to one of the presets, only to save it with really mediocre quality. As a photo app, I believe you guys should focus more on improving the quality of the pictures! Compressing the pictures to lower quality really makes the app less enjoyable as a lot of the details in the original picture are no longer sharp or as visible. I hope you guys can work on improving the quality of pictures after we save them to our camera roll!Show lessjlin2044

This app is so amazing with simple, beautiful layouts. I wanted a place to “journal” and preserve all the photos and videos on my phone (I have over 10,000!), and I’ve tried other apps and not loved them. So I created a beautiful “story” from our month with plans to start doing them each month to share with family..... share with family.... ooops! THERE IS NO WAY TO SHARE THE STORIES!!! Except on Instagram I guess... ? But my story is over 100 pages and my family isn’t on Instagram. I spent hours over the last month creating this with the intention to share, and now can’t share, even if I had everyone download the app (which I would be totally cool with!) Oh and when I “saved” it to my phone, it just threw all the pages into my photo library individually WHICH IS WHERE I WAS TRYING TO RETRIEVE THEM FROM TO BEGIN WITH. Once this is fixed I will absolutely give a 5star review because the app is amazing. I just need a way to save and share, like a slideshow or something.Show lessNo name nickname 123

Hey there! Sorry you feel that way! At the moment we're having a focus on Instagram Stories as our main platform of sharing. We appreciate your feedback and would love to implement this feature into future updates but at the moment Instagram stories will be our main focus for Unfold. Thank you again and have a lovely day!Frustrated with the limited features
I loveee the templates on this app, but am very frustrated with the limited fonts, and the flexibility with using them. I don’t like how the font can only be in one direction. I can’t rotate it, change it to a different colour other than black or white, and I can’t apply italicize, bold, etc, to just one part of my sentence. As of the latest update, my app also stopped uploading “unsplash” images to its templates, and that’s frustrating to say the least considering it was working fine a few days ago. (I’ve already submitted my information to unfold) The app definitely has the potential to be great, especially for those of us who enjoy a minimal look, but it’s got a ways to go before I start recommending it to other people considering I still use various apps for the fonts and styles. I mainly use this one for the layout.Show lessTheCapta1n

Hi there! We’re so sorry to hear you're having these issues. Thank you for reaching out to us and please feel free to email our support at hello@unfold.us so we can find a solution for you.Why 3 Stars
This app has the potential of being a 5 star app. What is lacking is the ability to save longer pages via video. The app is acting much like the cutter apps which breaks it down into 15seconds. Which means i actually have to use another app to get all the 15second pieces first from day a 4minute video and then go into Unfold. If the developers of this app where to take notice of the direction Instagram is heading with IGTV and up to 10minute videos you guys are onto an app that is easily worth 5$ in my opinion but if you keep it free and keep creating unique templates that it’s a win win either way. But unless you have the ability of updating this app rather quickly with up to 10minute video it’s a three star app.
Kind regards.Show lessdruwin12344321
Good App BUT...
This is a pretty good app and it gives my Instagram Stories different styles. The only thing that I don’t want about this app is it reduces the photo/Story quality. I have had Instagram Stories (didn’t use Unfold app) and all my photos in Stories have really good quality that they are better than the ones uploaded on Instagram feed because Instagram compressed it (yep, Instagram does that, BUT NOT on Instagram Story; they upload it with high quality or as is). I tried to check the quality of my photos exported from Unfold, the saved ones on my Photos also have poor quality, so maybe Instagram has nothing to do with the exported Instagram Story since they already have poor quality right before they get uploaded on my Stories. I love this app and I’m looking forward to seeing some improvements. Thank you!Show lessJimboy Robles
Amazing app to help boost up creativity
I really love and enjoy creating posts for my Instagram stories via this application, the templates are really perfect and after only spending a few minutes on the app I decided I had to buy all the template packages available. I think it is really amazing as it is, however I do wish it could do more and here are some suggestions I think would be great if they could come with the next updates. For instance, it’d be great if one can simply move the order of the posts within an album from a further point of view instead of having to click on the left or right button until the post reaches where it needs to be. And if the posts could be moved from an album to another, too. Plus, the font and background colors are really limited, it’d be really nice if there are more selections and tones to them, etc. Anyways, thank you so much for creating this application for us to use, now that I have it I can’t imagine doing Instagram stories without Unfold anymore. 😅♥️Show lessPalm_Supanut
Recommend to any Creative Storyteller
I have been looking for a way to add some new, creative elements to my story as well as some accounts I help generate content for. This app has made it easier than ever to take the photos from and event or trip and put them together in a dynamic and visually pleasing template with minimal effort! The UX/ UI on this app is flawless and intuitive and it’s integration with the camera roll is one of the smoothest I have encountered. There are in app purchases that add some templates I really enjoy but the ones that come with the app right out the gate are phenomenal in their own right! I love this app and would highly recommend!Show lessBrandt_A
A Beautiful Way To Tell Your Story
As a designer and photographer, I can really appreciate the aesthetics of stories this app creates but also the overall UI.
I wanted to write a review so I can provide feedback regarding how to make the experience even better:
- More layouts (I’m assuming this is work in progress)
- Include check for spelling, nothing worse then creating your story and seeing a spelling error once it’s live.
- Have an undo button. I’ve accidentally deleted a page and have also accidentally deleted a long description.
- As for editing text, make them in step increments so we can do the exact size and kearning of text for each page. I’m constantly having to make my best judgement with the sliders.
- Make a Mac App! Please! While the mobile app is easy to use, I can see making these stories so much faster on a computer because it’s easy to organize/find/sort/edit images.
Other than that, I’m so glad I stumbled on this app. It’s going to take my stories and highlights to another level. Thank you!Show lessmikee81
Easy to use, flexible, but poor output resolution
Update: I stand corrected, I didn’t notice it last night, but the app automatically saves low resolution (2.2mp) images of each page. For social media, e-mai, etc., that may be fine, for printing anything bigger than 5x7 it just won’t be sufficient. There is no reason why it can’t save at a higher resolution. There are plenty of apps that will combine infidelity images into a single PDF, but if the original resolution is bd, the PDF will be no better, and in most cases even worse. The Dev needs to work this issue out, and take the app Universal, and then he/she will have a winner.
Original Post: While the app is very easy to use, and offers a lot of predesigned templates to make “story telling” simple, the lack of any output option is a real disappointment, making the end product functionally useless. A simple “save as PDF’ option would go a long way to making this app truly functional. Even being able to print the pages would be helpful, at the moment their is nothing. Let’s hope the developer can make this work.
The app also needs to be taken Universal. This type of app screams to be run on an iPad; I edit my 24mp DSLR images on my iPad Pro, and building a story book with an app like this that can be saved as a PDF would be marvelous.Show lessTechno-nut

Hi there, sorry you feel that way. The exported stories are intended to be shared to the story format on social media channels, hence the lower resolution. Instagram even lowers the quality even further once your story is uploaded. If you are looking for an app for your iPad and portfolio you can check out the iPad app “Portafolio”, the original Unfold . Thank you for your feedback.Fresh and Simple!
I love how this app is easy to use, it keeps things simple and straightforward. It has beautiful and classy fonts that are fun to create with and many amazing template options and unlike other apps, this one offers you many options for each package. As a writer who does their own illustration, I have fun using the templates that integrate areas for photography as well as text and it definitely has changed the way I’m presenting my poetry now.
I’m in absolute in awe with this app and it’s the main app I use for creating material, now.
Although it’s already amazing, I can’t wait to see how this app continues to grow! Awesome jobShow lessStarrymegn
