More than an origami-making app
3D Paper Planes, Airplanes is a free educational app for learning how to make origami animals, airplanes, and objects. It also goes beyond origami as there are lessons on drawing, performing exercises, tying knots, and cooking dishes. The advertisements, though, are a gripe for users.
Tutorials at your fingertips
The tutorials in 3D Paper Planes, Airplanes include links to YouTube videos, text instructions, and animated images — all of which help you visualize and follow each step down to the last letter. You can also find tutorials using the search function at the top of the screen.
However, there are drawbacks to using this app, such as the slow loading of tutorials and intrusive advertisements. While the number of likes and comments is displayed, you can’t read or write a comment and like a lesson. Some people may also have difficulty following the steps.
Learn something new
Despite the name, 3D Paper Planes, Airplanes is a comprehensive app filled with tutorials ranging from origami to cooking. The animated images and YouTube videos supplement the text instructions and help visual learners follow the tutorial. However, the app should improve the loading speed of the tutorials.
