Fold it. Fly it. Win. PaperFlyer is the friendliest way to build paper airplanes that actually fly — and then turn them into a backyard competition the whole family can play. BUILD WITH CONFIDENCE Every design comes with animated, to-scale folding diagrams. Watch each crease form, step by step, so you always know exactly where the paper goes. No more guessing from a flat, confusing picture — follow the motion and get a clean fold every time. 10 PROVEN DESIGNS From the long-throwing Dart to the floating Glider, the trick-flying Looper, the boomerang that curves back, and the tube-shaped Hoop that shouldn't fly but does — ten classic planes, each rated for Distance, Air Time, Stability, and Speed so you can pick the right one for the moment. FLY LIKE A PRO Each plane includes the materials you need, a clear throw technique, and tuning tips — how to bend the wings, balance the nose, and fix a plane that dives or stalls. PLAY THE FAMILY GAME Turn your planes into a tournament. Add up to eight players, choose your rounds, and compete on distance, time in the air, or both. A built-in flight timer measures every throw, live standings keep the rivalry honest, and a winner is crowned at the end. The last five games are saved so you can settle the score next time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN PaperFlyer works completely offline. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and no tracking. Your game scores stay on your device — nothing is ever uploaded. Grab a sheet of paper and start flying.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: XBOX at Free against PaperFlyer's $0.49. XBOX also leads on chart position (#56 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
