Foldly is not a game to tap at. It is an app you use with a square of paper in
your hand.
A fold happens slowly on screen. You pause it, rewind it, slow it down, and make
the same fold in real paper. Then you tap Next. There is no score, no timer and
nothing to collect — just a child, a piece of paper, and something that did not
exist ten minutes ago.
WHAT IS IN IT
Twenty-six projects, from a four-fold envelope to a lotus with three rings of
petals. A paper cup you can actually drink from. A butterfly, a ladybug with seven spots, a sailboat,
a fortune teller, a sailor hat. A dart and a glider, to race against each other.
A penguin, a fish, a duck and a whale. A paper balloon you blow up into a box, a heart to
give away, a boat that floats, a swan that stands up, a masu box to keep things
in, and a samurai helmet you can wear. A corner bookmark that lives in a real
book. Three of them are free forever.
HOW IT WORKS
• Every step is animated, not a photograph of a diagram
• Slow it down, replay it, or step back whenever a fold goes wrong
• Every instruction is read aloud, for children still learning to read
• Finish a project, draw a face on it, and keep a photo of the real thing
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• No subscription. One payment, once, and it never renews
• No adverts. Not between projects, not anywhere
• No account and no sign-up. Profiles are just a name, an age and a
picture, kept on this device
• Nothing is collected about your child. The app has no networking code of its
own and no third-party code in it, so there is nothing that could be sent
anywhere. The only network use is Apple's own App Store, for the one purchase
• No chat, no comments, no way for anyone to contact your child
FOR GROWN-UPS
Anything that spends money sits behind a step that asks for four digits written
as words. A child who cannot yet read cannot get past it.
Everything works with no internet. Every project and every spoken instruction is
already on the device before you start.
Made for hands, paper and a kitchen table.
