It looks awesome, but...
Why oh why would you go public on this before the app is available in the store? I looked at this thing and said "I want it." Will I remember to look again once it is available?

If you are interested in printing foldable paper models, also have a look at Pepakura Designer (http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/). This takes 3d models and unwraps them to printable images.
No connection, other than having used it's output to entertain children at various times.

I bought one of these off Foldable (https://www.foldable.me/) and while it was quite cool how it all came together, I was a little disappointed by the lack of customisation options.
This looks to rectify that and make a more personalised creation, great work!

Foldify is so much better than "Origami for Westerners", I think they may even get a season push, considering the coming festivities. How good would 8 bit squares and 8 bit Santa look on the tree. Hope it comes through for the makers.

Foldify idea was born in 2011, It's an indie project ( created after normal work ) and the dev started in january of 2012. Foldable.me started after March of 2012. So definitely not a copy ;) as Foldify was first.

It's because the foldable model is printed out on a single side and it's probably going to be a pain in the ass to have users print 2-sided with lines on the other.

Goes to show that not every useful application for iOS has been built yet, or that the unmade ones have to be extremely complicated.

I hope you can submit your own 3D models to share and make viral!
