With nearly 200 visual lessons, instructional app Origami - Fold & Learn helps you turn plain paper into intricate animals, flowers and shapes.

What we love: Mastering our craft from foundations to expert folds. Start on the Basics tab to learn symbols and common bases, then level up in the Learn and Instructions tabs to create impressive three-dimensional creations such as grasshoppers, swans and peacocks.

Quick tip: Subscribers unlock a guided learning path with lessons that take you from beginner to master in the ancient art of origami. New lessons are added weekly – so there’s always something new to fold!

Meet the creator: Founder Andreas Bauer is the one-man team behind Origami, and he does it all: designing the paper models, photographing them, illustrating instructions, designing the app’s UI and coding. “It’s very challenging, but it’s also incredibly fulfilling to control every aspect of the app,” Bauer says.
