### 5/5 — Schöne App für den Matheunterricht

*2014-08-26*

Super umgesetzt. Sehr anschaulich! Ich bin begeistert!

### 5/5 — This in an AMAZINGLY good app for a buck

*2014-07-12*

I'd read about the snub dodecahedron.  I'd been thinking about it before I went to sleep.  I wanted to really get to know it.  Searching in the app store brought me to Hangas' app.  And it's great!  I love all the shapes,  the ways I can rotate and spin them, unfold them, color them.
  Within a half an hour I'd had 10x as much fun as the thing cost me.  I played with it for many more hours.
  What I didn't anticipate was that my 9 yr old daughter would become entranced, too, and borrow my phone for hours to play with the Unfold shapes.
  Buy this app.  Send him more money so he can complete some more of the Johnson solids, and add some more multi-color choices.  And maybe add some textures to the color.  Definitely textures.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2014-05-02*

Very educational and fun to play with or make them out of paper and this app provides a great reference for creating geometric models

### 5/5 — Great program!

*2014-01-04, version 3.0*

I have really enjoyed this program.  The models of the various polyhedra are really sharply implemented and almost feel 'real'.  I don't know if it's a possibility, but it would be absolutely amazing if the complete set of Johnson solids was added.  I would even pay for an upgrade. Thanks for a great app.

### 5/5 — Best 3D App!

*2013-11-23*

The 3D graphics seem to be real.  They pop right out of the screen!  The perfect way to see these shapes.

### 5/5 — Lots of fun!

*2013-11-08*

My kids have a blast exploring the interesting 3D shapes.

### 5/5 — Cool effects!

*2013-10-31*

This latest version is made for iOS 7 and looks pretty spiffy. The shapes even rotate when your phone rotates... amazing attention to detail! Kudos to this feat of iOS engineering.

### 4/5 — Great teaching tool

*2013-04-16*

I also think this a great app for teaching Geometry but if it had the use of a cone, then I would be top of the line!!

### 5/5 — I love it

*2013-04-12*

Is fun and very educational. Very well designed app as well. It would be amazing if we could select our own colors.

### 4/5 — Good but...

*2013-04-10*

This app is excellent to use as a supplement to teaching surface area and volume.  However, it is MISSING the cylinder!!! Get this on there and I will give 5 stars.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Missing core shapes

*2012-11-27*

Was hoping to use this with my seven year old and was disappointed to see that it was missing so many of the solids he needs to learn about.  Where is the pyramid, cylinder, rectangular prism, and triangular prism?

### 2/5 — Not enough basic solids

*2013-02-09*

Not what I expected. Seemed limited in some of the basic ones.

### 3/5 — Guter Ansatz, aber

*2013-03-06*

.... Druckfunktion fehlt und vor allem das Einfärber verschiedener Flächen zur besseren Veranschaulichung!
Ebenso geht die Simulation nur in einer vorgegebenen Ansicht - besser wäre es, wenn die Funktion auch greifen würde wenn ich das Teil so drehe, wie es besser erkennbar ist.....
Bitte entsprechend Ergänzen!,

### 3/5 — Great Thing but

*2013-02-20*

where is the Export-Button???

### 3/5 — A really useful tool

*2012-12-01*

I teach 7th grade math, and one of the concepts that students really struggle with at that age is trying to picture what a prism looks like when it is unfolded. I like how this app allows you to rotate the shapes so you can see them in different orientations and also how you can pause and reverse the folding and unfolding. 

The only change I'd like to see is the ability to change the dimensions of the rectangular prism. My students have to be able to construct nets with dimensions other than 1x1x1.   Having this change would definitely make this a 5 star app!

### 4/5 — Très bien

*2021-07-14*

Esthétique et claire. Je regrette qu’il n’y ait pas la possibilité de transformer les polyèdres (troncature etc…)

### 4/5 — Bello, ma occorre qualche aggiustamento

*2018-01-25, version 3.1*

Molto bello, ma qualche piccolo difetto:
 - È irritante l'entrata di un nuovo solido con caduta e rimbalzo.
- I colori disponibili oltre quello di default sono abbastanza brutti.
Per il resto ottima applicazione e speriamo di vedere presto gli altri solidi di Johnson

### 4/5 — Where are they?

*2017-08-24*

“More Johnson solids available in a future update.” — this app, 2 years ago.  It's now August 2017.

### 4/5 — Unfold

*2016-07-27, version 3.1*

Una bellissima applicazione molto istruttiva e utile. Complimenti vivissimi allo sviluppatore per questa ottima idea! Ma mancano ancora parecchi poliedri; quindi confidiamo in un solerte aggiornamento sostanzioso allo scopo di implementare sempre nuove figure geometriche rendendola sempre migliore, in ottemperanza a quello che scrivete in relazione ai solidi di Johnson che ne verranno inseriti altri, ok?! È da quasi un anno che non aggiornate questa applicazione. Grazie e buon lavoro!

### 4/5 — Tolle App

*2014-06-29*

Die App ist fast perfekt! Sie ist intuitiv bedienbar und sehr umfangreich...
Ich fände es sehr schön, wenn noch die Catalanischen Körper ergänzt werden würden.
Dann gibts volle Sterne :)

*2025-04-16*

shiny

### 5/5 — Just used it

*2023-01-16*

Haven’t used it but it’s great already.

### 5/5 — Piacevole

*2022-05-07, version 3.5*

App semplice e immediata per aiutare a conoscere i solidi.

### 5/5 — Excelente aplicativo

*2021-01-25*

Ótimo

### 5/5 — Unfold

*2020-10-29*

This app is a activady I enjoyed.l hope you like it to.

### 5/5 — Brilliant for the classroom

*2019-12-18, version 3.1*

Works great projected to the class.  Cannot praise enough

### 5/5 — Nice App

*2017-04-09, version 3.1*

Any chance of adding a cylinder in future updates?

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2015-12-04, version 3.1*

Exactly as expected. Looks very clean and clear. User interface is intuitive. A wonderful way to explore polyhedra! Well done to the developer. 

Of course, being a human being, I would like to see more of the same (perhaps concave polyhedra?) and more colour options (eg the options to turn all squares yellow etc).

### 5/5 — Recomendada

*2014-11-19*

Es una app excelente para los profesores y alumnos en el área de figuras en tercera dimensión.

### 5/5 — Unfold

*2014-11-09*

Astonishingly Unique
You've all done very well🐋
