Almost 5 stars... Great but...
First off, a genuine, heart-felt THANK YOU to the developers for a suite of apps that can provide immense fun and countless opportunities for learning and problem-solving.
Now to what needs immediate —I mean immediate— attention:
The Zoo online library is not loading at all (We have a strong cable WiFi connection). The Guides for each app are not loading either. Wrote twice to the honorable developers. No response. This was a Valentine’s present (yes, I bought the whole package for $14.99, although I already had the free Foldify , which I love) for my niece.
The Guides (a how-to for each app) are very much needed. Why? Because it is not that simple to build an actual paper model. It looks self-explanatory when you review the models online. Just print, cut, fold, glue, you’re done, right? NOT SO AT ALL! What kind of paper to print on? What kind of glue is best? Which fold to glue first? Which fold to glue last? Should we score the fold lines first?
Yes, I am a techie by trade (Apple expert) and have infinite troves of patience. But finishing 3 personalized hearts in time for a family Valentine’s Day dinner almost pushed me over the edge. How do you finish glueing-shut a heart-shaped box without disturbing or tearing other sides? Are some tabs tucked and glued inside the wall, and some tabs meant to be glued outside?
Now you see what I mean. Each model has its own challenge, which a well-made Guide must cover, with clear explanations.
A minor nuisance: the online library in Foldify shows 3 categories: “Best,” “Trending” and “Newest”. I don’t know what kind of algorithms govern those, but don’t expect “Best,” for instance, to be true to your expectations: some show plain blank models uploaded for some reason that defy the imagination.
All told, have fun! The possibilities are endless, hoping the developers can give us a much-needed help here.

Online resources no longer work
This used to be a great app until the online resources stopped working. Do not buy.
Some features do not work
Unfortunately it looks like the developer has not kept up with the iOS releases. Some functionality does not work, including the stamps and the online store.
Mmmmm?
Cannot even get to the editor never mind use my camera gallery
Disappointed
After the last update the app just stopped working properly, it became a feat just to open a new animal and let alone paint on the pattern, this app was my daughter's favourite, please fix this bug!
Great app
Simply love it.
They’ve done it again!
Amazin, smashing! Pixle deliveres!
Great app for School Age Children
Like app and I use it with my SAC job.
Looks great!
Love the new theme!
Great
This is a great development of the original foldify. My daughter, who loves animals and crafts, is exceedingly taken by it. Thoroughly recommended.
superb
hi quality images that are a lot of fun to construct with the kids
Plutôt sympa les réalisations
Pas pour les jeunes enfants car pas facile à découper et à plier, plus facile au cutter qu'aux ciseaux. Utilisation de colle obligatoire, je ne sais pas si on peu dire que c'est de l'origami et Les gosses aiment ces réalisations une fois terminées.
Bellissima app
Molto bella, come foldify
How to get a 4....
My first graders love this app....and so do I! As a teacher, however, I would love to have more animals included!
Good idea
E mail the pdf to yourself and print from there.
More animals, please. Domestics, maybe?
Farm ? Fun for kids.

Amazing!
Worked great, very fun. No crashes, bugs, or glitches. I like how they put facts about the animals, and how you can customize them, as well as print other peoples creations. Overall, a very nicely made app, no doubt about it. Even with an iPad second generation,it printed and worked very well.
Only 10 animals
When I print from iPad the app crashes
Crashes
Keeps crashing when trying to print, just paid for this! Refund my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gute Idee, stürzt aber leider beim Drucken ab.
Meine Tochter hat richtig Spass beim bemalen. Leider habe ich es noch nicht geschafft über meinen Airprint Drucker zu drucken. Bei jedem Druckversuch stürzt die App und die ganze Arbeit war umsonst, da das zuvor erstellte Modell nicht gespeichert wird.
Great but please fix
My daughter loves this app , spends lots of time colouring in all the animals and having lots of fun , but the app keeps crashing every time we try and print an animal out ! Please fix , if fixed the app would be 5 star and we recommend it to every parent !
