Hey Product Hunt! I'm Andy from Unfold 👋🏼 It's been a little over a year since we launched Unfold, the original app to create stories from templates. We've grown to nearly 20 million users including people like Selena Gomez and Kim Kardashian and brands like Forbes and The White House. We've also been awarded Editor's Choice by Apple and Best Apps of 2018 by Google. As a company focused on empowering people to express themselves through the power of design, we felt it was time for a refresh. We're excited to announce Unfold 4.0! + New App Design This version includes the first wave of our UI refresh. We opted for a light theme to encourage openness and creativity. We focused on simplifying the experience so you can focus on creating. + Other Features We've also launched stickers and new background colors because the details matters. + More Coming Soon New 4.0 features will roll out gradually over the following weeks so keep an eye out. Thanks to @chrismessina for hunting 🖤

Is there a lifetime price to unlock everything?

Totally love Unfold — eager to try out the latest iteration. What's new in this release @9th?

I've been using the app almost daily and really like it.

Pros:

Simple to use, beautiful templates, been using for a while now

Cons:

probably better free templates, the most usable ones are paid and I get it, but the free versions can still have more variety

Totally one of my favorite apps for IG stories! 🔥

So sweet

I'm excited to see the future of this app. I think it's the best storytelling tool for Instagram Stories.

I already love Unfold - looking forward to testing the new features. Can't believe you only launched a year ago - GREAT work team!

One of the best instastories apps

Shakir

They are like wizards))) they help make great content! I use the app almost daily and love it.

Can we add story templates we have bought before or only templates that you have or sell?

I have purchased story templates from market places, and have edited them in Photoshop. It's a lengthy process once I save the project, and transfer to my phone and then schedule and post. So, this might be great - haven't tried it yet. I hope we can eventually add templates we have purchased in the past so we won't be limited to the templates offered and also for originality - I don't want every single person out there using Unfold to have my same story template. As an artist, I am picky this way. Testing it today - will get back to this forum to post my thoughts.

It's a beautiful product. My only issue was that the UI wasn't fun to use to cycle through different options.

Nearly everyone around me uses Unfold for their Instagram stories, so it's definitely the top choice for many, as I presume. That also kinda makes all stories look very much alike, however you can't deny that it does add a beautiful feel to it. I've seen some people use the paid version, and the templates do look very, very nice.

Love it! Great Product and very useful!
