And it can better if it premium. And overall it great ### 4/5 — I haven’t done origami in a long time! *2026-03-29, version 4.71* I love this so much but some of it costs money and I don’t have any but other than that I love this app! ### 4/5 — Bad news please change *2026-03-26, version 4.71* Most stuff you need to have the premium for or is locked and I can’t pay for it ### 4/5 — Nearly perfect… a few suggestions! *2026-02-16, version 4.68* I might as well get straight to the point - too many models are padlocked behind a subscription. This is my only major complaint about the app, and the rest of what I will say will mostly consist of suggestions for further improvements of the app. Anyways. I would be happy to pay a one-time fee for a premium version of the app, but a subscription is a hassle - especially seeing as origami was originally developed as a mindful or meditative art - having a subscription kind of ruins that. At least keep the tutorial or technique origami instructions free - that’s literally just learning how to even do origami! Alright, that’s enough ranting about the subscription. Here are some little suggestions to further develop the app: - Create your own origami instructions and share online I think it would be really nice for users to create their own instructions for their own origami models and post them on the app for others to see and enjoy. This makes the app’s content practically infinite, and lets users connect through their art. Users can add a cover photo, create visual, detailed instructions, add labelled diagrams for every step and add a cover photo for their origami models so they are just as good as the app’s instructions and models. Users can leave comments and rating on others origami instructions, or report if any inappropriate content is in the instructions. - Paper Aeroplanes Please add some instructions for folding paper aeroplanes! Not much more to say about this one. -Origami AI Chatbot Ok, this one is a stretch but would be awesome to have. If you are stuck with a model, send your current progress to the Chatbot and it will provide advice on how to get you back on track. It’s a little unrealistic but would be so cool! -Tutorial Videos Preset recorded videos of each model being folded. This could nicely tie into my first idea of sharing models and instructions online - videos could also be recorded and added when creating instructions.m I hope these suggestions are at least acknowledged, and I hope to see some of them in the future! Kind regards! ### 5/5 — Origami *2026-01-21, version 4.66* It’s good, simple, and awarding ### 4/5 — Origami *2026-01-18* Je trouve que c’est bien, mais c’est dommage que des orgasmes sont payants **Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour ! 😊 Je suis content que l’application vous plaise. Je comprends aussi votre déception concernant certains origamis payants. Sachez qu’il y a tout de même plus de 40 modèles gratuits disponibles dans l’onglet « Instructions », accessibles sans abonnement. Les modèles premium servent à soutenir le développement continu de l’application et l’ajout régulier de nouveaux contenus. ### 4/5 — Good ❤️ *2026-01-07, version 4.66* So I have been trying to make a paper crane and the instructions weren’t to clear for me so I would just like some clearer instructions thanks😊 ### 2/5 — Good but not good 2.8 stars *2025-12-29, version 4.66* So here’s what it tells me, “oh this is easy!” But it’s not. I’ve tried so many of these and they all seem impossible! They were all supposed to be easy! ### 5/5 — Many free instructions and super easy to follow! *2025-12-27, version 4.66* This app is definitely worth a download. The creator is constantly adding new origami models and there are plenty of free, fun models that will take you a while to go through. No ads, is paywalled if you get past the 30ish free models (which doesn't sound like a lot to fold but it is). Also if you do want to pay, the subscription is not expensive. 10/10 would recommend ### 5/5 — Good job! *2025-12-15, version 4.65* I love it teaches you so much and I can make things I’ve never made before! Keep up the good work! 👍👏🫶 ### 4/5 — Cool *2025-10-15, version 4.62* Ok so the app is very good buuuut there is no knifes. Thanks for reading ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Totally dumb app *2026-06-27, version 4.78* I really hate this app because it’s not free and you can find how to make the origami on YouTube and it’s way too simple really not worth it ### 1/5 — Great, other than the money grab subscription. *2026-05-01, version 4.74* Great app, but I am not paying a monthly fee. Let me buy the content like a book, and if you release more patterns sell them as a DLC. Subscription for paper folding is outrageous. ### 1/5 — Perché abbonamento ? *2026-04-23, version 4.73* La app si presenta esteticamente bella, ma non è intuitiva. Dopo averti chiesto di compilare le tue preferenze sembra lasciarti cominciare a scegliere l’origami ma in realtà ci sono ulteriori presentazioni. Se vuoi sbloccare le funzioni devi pagare. Forse l’avrei acquistata se fosse stato un acquisto singolo ma perché dovrei fare un abbonamento annuale o mensile? Mi dispiace è un modo di fare spendere obbligatoriamente. Invece Origami Teaching è molto più semplice ed intuitiva, ti lascia immediatamente scegliere l’origami che vuoi e la puoi acquistare per sempre a soli 0,99 centesimi. Mi sembra più onesto. ### 1/5 — Paytowin *2026-03-30, version 4.71* Paytowin ### 1/5 — Reseña *2026-02-14, version 4.68* Es una cagada porque tenes que pagar por todo y casi todo es premium ### 1/5 — Paid when it should have been free *2026-01-27, version 4.67* I hate when i download a app for free and get hit with a subscription when i open it ### 1/5 — 4.99$ a month *2025-10-20, version 4.62* Paying a monthly subscription for an origami app is ludicrous A one time purchase would have sufficed. ### 1/5 — …….. *2025-10-11, version 4.62* I’ve used the app for 5 minutes. Do not ask me for a review this early or you’ll get a 1 star…. ### 1/5 — Треш 😨 *2025-08-10, version 4.58* Ужас я думала что бесплатно а нет 👎🏻 Крутое не бесплатно добавьте хоть что-нибудь бесплатно!!!!!!! :( ### 1/5 — Muito ruim esta muita coisa bloqueada *2025-08-05, version 4.58* Tem quase nenhuma opção no primeiro dia Já travou ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-05-05, version 4.74* ***** star’s because I love to do origami ### 5/5 — Good *2026-04-21, version 4.73* So I can do a lot of origami stuff and then I was thinking about some more stuff Swear I looked at the app and I really love it ### 5/5 — Divonico *2026-04-20, version 4.73* Ele funciona muito bem ### 5/5 — Could be better *2026-04-18, version 4.73* Want more options ### 5/5 — Very fun but… *2026-04-09, version 4.72* You have to pay for premium subscription for some of the crafts but there is a free trial which I will use but anyways there is a good selection of free crafts .I highly recommend this app for origami !!! ### 5/5 — I’m loving it *2026-03-25, version 4.71* This is the first time I’m being able to actually follow instructions easily because there is an explanation and demo for every arrow and every fold👌🏼 Thank you! ### 5/5 — Could be better *2026-03-22, version 4.71* Want more options ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-03-07, version 4.69* I love it!!! ### 5/5 — Could be better *2026-02-17* Want more options **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I’d love to know which kinds of options or models you’d like to see added — your input helps me improve the app. Feel free to share your ideas with me at info@oribot.com . 🙏✨ ### 5/5 — This app is amazing *2026-02-11, version 4.67* This app is awesome it teaches you how to do origami and in the start I was horrible but now it looks awesome thank you for the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
