### 2/5 — Amazing but needs to be more reliable

*2022-05-24*

Origami is an incredible tool that has so much potential. For the life of me though please make the preview app more reliable. I often find myself having to restart the app on my phone and on my mac multiple times before I get the prototype to actually show up on device.

### 4/5 — Great update, but viewfinder doesn’t work

*2020-10-27, version 74.0*

Thank you so much for the latest updates!
It made life so much easier! QR code detection - it’s just something I couldn’t imagine and which is so great!
But now the iOS app crashes in the latest version. It crashes every time I am launching a prototype containing viewfinder patch. 
We use it on iPhone XS and had no problems before. Please, fix it!

### 3/5 — Good update but unstable

*2020-10-06*

Hi Origami Team,

The new version 3 or Origami Studio is beyond my expectations.

However, Origami Live crashes instantly when trying to use the Viewfinder component.

Would it be possible to fix this please?

Thanks! :)

### 4/5 — Can't Scroll on iPad Horizontal Mode！

*2019-11-17*

After upgrated to the latest version 2.9 (177833497) , The list can’t be shown completely when switched to horizontal mode. It can’t be scrolled either.

### 4/5 — Prototyping!

*2019-10-10*

Such a great tool for mocking up high fidelity prototypes for testing. Works great when connected via USB to test on device, but it looks like the app has lost support for saving/opening the prototypes when not connected to your computer on iOS 13.

Really hoping for an update that will fix the ability to launch prototypes untethered from your computer in the latest OS.

### 3/5 — Confused

*2019-04-19*

Like I don’t understand what this has to do with origami but okay

### 4/5 — merci pour l'aide , mais j'aimerais vraiment etre contacté consernant ma page facebook merci

### 2/5 — Mirroring only works for exports

*2017-05-25*

Can't view a prototype on iOS while plugged into the computer. Have to export the prototype and look at it while not plugged in. Also, there is no way to let "return" on text fields end editing on that text field. Great concept. Too glitchy.

### 2/5 — Please fix bug

*2017-02-28*

I cannot share with iphone after updating.

### 4/5 — Great tool

*2017-02-08*

I use this app almost every day. Origami Studio is great as a standalone, but only this mobile app makes it possible to show your prototype to someone and get valid Feedback. Please continue to invest in it. This has Great Potential and a unique community. Would ❤️❤️❤️ if it was easier to create prototypes that adapt to different screen resolutions.

### 1/5 — Live stream

*2016-05-17, version 1.1*

A week ago i could still do a livestream. But now i can't.

### 1/5 — Liars

*2016-03-11*

### 1/5 — STEALS DATA

*2025-01-20*

Protect yourself and your data by deleting all meta apps!!! Meta owned apps take your information and sell it.

### 1/5 — No support for fonts

*2021-04-12*

You spend ages creating a prototype, get ready to share and then realise...No support for fonts!!

There is no documentation to offer any guidance.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t support iOS 13

*2019-09-24*

Tried multiple times to display prototype on my XS MAX iOS 13, but it just failed to display the prototype model on the phone.

### 1/5 — Tab bar doesn’t work well

*2018-02-26*

Buggy is fine, I’ll find another way and fix it. Transition not smooth is fine, at least it still work and I’ll reduce the complexity of my prototype. But I just don’t understand why the tab bar works terribly. Had to keep tapping it until it works. That is not ok at all. 
Tried it on a newer version of iPhone and it has a larger screen. When it’s not resized the tab bar works perfectly. Once it’s resized(the tab bar again is at the bottom of the screen), it doesn’t work anymore.  

Please fix it. Even though it’s buggy and slow (both this preview app and desktop app), I still think it’s one of the best prototyping tool. I really like that I can control the logic and make it like a real app. That makes it a great usability testing tool. Hope the team can put more effort on it and make it better for everyone :)

### 1/5 — Crashes instantly

*2017-03-21*

Mirroring instantly crashes on iPhone 6s plus

### 1/5 — Alpha-Quality

*2016-12-21*

Crashes frequently, layouts often haphazardly mis-layed-out, even with the packed-in samples.  Needs quite a bit more work before it could be considered “Beta” much less release-worthy.

### 1/5 — Not on phone5

*2016-11-21, version 2.0*

Demos not working on iphone5. All freeze on the first frame except the Instagram adjust.

### 1/5 — No worky

*2016-11-06*

Tried two demos. They do nothing. iPhone 5c latest iOS. One demo didn't even conform to my phone screen. They all launch frozen. Bummer. UPDATE: also tried connecting to my mac; current origami studio project doesn't show. hitting studio button says "connect" ... hmm... studio seems awesome, though. hope to see a fix!

### 1/5 — Iphone 7 plus not really supported

*2016-10-28*

Not able to fully scale screen sizes like other prototyping tools. Need to be able to run iPhone 7 & 7 plus mockups at their respective resolutions. Blocker for serious use.

### 1/5 — Don't download this

*2016-07-17, version 1.1*

This is horrible

### 5/5 — / app

*2019-12-02*

works well but traces are not gonna left 
I request u n now don’t want to spoil anything 
Justify your own self and don’t want to get it out off the way better confess or this will be a wrong call!!

### 5/5 — Best prototyping tool

*2017-10-27*

Besides jump right into Xcode, this is the best prototype tool to creat sophisticated mockups in fast speed. 

I am a power user, and see a lot of potential in this application. I hope the FB team could keep improving this, on performance, work with server etc.

Can’t wait for the next update!

### 5/5 — 当界面过多有明显卡顿

*2017-10-06*

当界面过多时，有明现卡顿，希望能得到优化。

### 5/5 — 🤓

*2017-08-04*

Hands down, Origami is the best prototyping tool in town!

### 5/5 — Aweosme.!!

*2016-12-18*

That's the Mobile Prototype app we've been waiting for 😎👌

### 5/5 — Wow

*2016-11-03, version 2.0*

Origami is incredible.

### 5/5 — New Tool In My Toolbox

*2016-10-27*

This is the perfect companion to what might be the perfect prototyping tool. Glad to see we're finally here. Been looking forward to this since F8.

### 5/5 — This app is so amazing!

*2016-03-01, version 1.0.1*

This app is so amazing!

### 5/5 — Good Stuff!

*2015-05-26*

Smart tool to do interactive animation, love it.
there is a problem: "Tap" is not working with the "Hit Area" on the phone, works fine on the desktop Viewer though. And the “Down” seems could be active when “Scroll” is happening.
