Pros and cons of Dollar Origami app for iPhone and iPad

Dollar Origami app good for

Thought it was gonna be more. Wld like to see more items to make. I little confussd with the timer thing and also with the menu. Love the idea and my next waiter will be amazed!!!
This app works really well. I used to get tips in Dollar Origamis at the coffee shop I used to work at. I always wanted to know how to make my own Dollar Origami...this app is easy to use and Ive learned how to make several. Now I tip in Dollar Origamis!! When time permits!! :)
I hate tipping! And I was even once a waiter. I hate that waiters have to rely on tips to make a living. Prefer euro style where theyre paid a decent wage. Anyways, point is that I always hate tipping because it just adds on to the bill - Id prefer if it were already in the cost of the food. Dollar Origami has made lemonade out of lemons for me! Now I actually love tipping because its another chance for me to bring a smile to a waiters face with a perfect Tie Fighter (or a hilarious failure attempt that looks like I crumpled a bill into a glorious mess). Either way, fun for me and fun for the waiter! One star off because the Tie Fighter is so damned difficult!
I used to only be able to a ring out of a dollar. Dollar Origami gives master secrets to making Dollar Origami! The app is fantastic and worth every penny for a buck.
I like the designs. Good directions and easy to follow. Highly recomend this app.
These things arent too hard. They may be easier for me than you because I have been doing origami for 3 years, but I think anyonw with patience over, say, 10 should be able to do this. My personal favorite is the shirt.

Some bad moments

It looks like they just copied and pasted from other (copyrighted) websites without even a footnote. Searching for dollar bill origami in Mobile Safari would get you the same content, with more total content available, for free. Many of the instructions dont even have photos. The instructions arent always all that clear. Plus, the app interface is pretty bad. In no other app is the little (i) button used as the OK or Go button. The little (i) button is supposed to be for settings, an about page, or something similar, not where you find all the content youre looking for. As for the timer and goals for each origami, I bet less than one percent of people considering purchasing an app like this car about a feature like that at all. Get better ACTUAL ORIGAMI INSTRUCTIONS before adding useless features like a timer.
When I updated this app I lost many of the designs I liked most. The maker must have removed them due to legal issues or something. Whatever the reason, it no longer has those good traditional designs. Even the advanced stuff like the carp are gone. I checked the update notes and they had no mentions of removing designs. Hopefully I can use an old backup from iTunes.
if the developers are going to remove the diagrams that were in there to beging with. Like I believe there was also a Yoda. I have a couple of the other origami apps and Yoda I am sure was in this app. Put the old diagrams back. Not worth the the update especially when you lose things you like about the old apps.
Come on why cant you use real dollers in stead of that blank white paper that shows us folds and give us more details such as to make a water bomb also give instructions and words on some of them. Why dont you show us how to do some folds to make it alot easier to make.
Do not buy this app. I think it is too difficult and uncomprehendable. I give it 1 star only becuase there is no lower.
The instructions are ok, but hard to understand and I thought it was actually folding a virtual dollar not just telling you how to do it
