If you answered yes to either these, then you have come to the right educational app" -- IEAR.org "I spent my formative tech-years trundling a robo-turtle around the floor while learning the Logo programming language. Now there's an app for that, although in this case the turtle is virtual" -- The Guardian _______________________________________________ *** Move the Turtle teaches children (ages 5+) the basics of programming (yes, we do mean coding!) *** Challenges and rewards keep children (with parents' assistance) & teenagers (on their own) engaged! ----------------------------------- Do you remember the Logo programming language?

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Foldify at free against Move the Turtle's paid. Foldify also leads on rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (46 vs 14). Move the Turtle's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 65%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Move the Turtle costs $3.99 and Foldify $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Foldify holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 46 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Move the Turtle's written reviews are positive against 65% of Foldify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Move the Turtle ships an update every 6 months, Foldify every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
