About this app

Read, don't scroll.

Unfold a story. Fanfold turns your RSS and Atom feeds into printed magazines, in the spirit of a DIY zine. Instead of an endless feed you get issues with a last page: you read a story to the end, long enough to understand it, not just the headline. A double page on the big screen of the iPhone Duo, a single page on any other iPhone. Turning the page curls the paper, sometimes with a misprint.

UNFOLD. SIT DOWN. UNDERSTAND.

• No endless feed: every issue has a last page. You can finish.

• No algorithm: only the sources you chose yourself.

• No push notifications: you decide when you read.…

Store update history

Version 1.2.0 · 2026-10-19
Read a source from start to finish: Fanfold keeps every article and prints numbered issues, oldest first. Import your feeds from Feedly, Inoreader and others as an OPML file. Magazines are also fetched in the background. Articles now run to the very end: long features, pieces with a “read also” box in the middle and shortened feeds are loaded in full. At the end of each article the source is named – tap it to open the original. The screen stays on while you read. With Golem, Fanfold points you to the full-text feed of Golem pur.

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
