Foxar’s idea is to transform classic illustrations (diagrams, images, etc.) into animated, interactive 3D models that help everyone better visualize and understand school subjects and the world around us. Concepts like the Solar System, the human body, volcanoes, fractions, matter, sound, or the Moon’s phases become much easier for everyone to grasp. FOR WHOM? The Foxar app was designed for both classroom use (for students and teachers) and home use (for children, parents, and anyone who wants to better understand the world). WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH FOXAR? - Explore over 200 interactive 3D models - Follow educational guides: step-by-step tours that explain each model - View models in augmented reality, such as a cubic meter or a life-size sculpture - Test your knowledge with quiz models, earn 3D trophies, and track your progress - Share a model instantly via a link or QR code - Use Foxar in all possible languages FREE MODELS 60 models are available for free, without even creating an account. The Foxar+ subscription gives access to 100% of the library. CO-CREATION The Foxar project was co-created with students, teachers, parents, academies, the French Ministry of National Education, and cognitive science research labs.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Foxar at every 5 days against Transparent Notes's every 2 months. Foxar also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 62%). Transparent Notes's advantage is ratings volume (208 vs 6) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.4). On price, rating, 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
Both are free to download. Transparent Notes sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Foxar sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Transparent Notes against 4.8 for Foxar. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transparent Notes has 208 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of Transparent Notes's written reviews are positive against 74% of Foxar's.
Transparent Notes ships an update every 2 months, Foxar every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
