Foldable-device support
We adapt the app for foldable devices: correct behavior on fold/unfold, use of the large inner screen, session continuity without state loss, accounting for the hinge. So on foldables the app looks premium rather than breaking. Honestly upfront: foldables are still a SMALL, though growing, market segment, mostly on Android (the iPhone has no foldable models); so this support is not justified for everyone — we will honestly assess whether it makes sense to invest now specifically for you, and will not push a trendy but non-paying refinement.
Foldable-device support — overview

Foldable-device support is adapting the app to foldables' specifics: a smooth interface transition between the small (folded) and large (unfolded) screen without losing state and place in the content (continuity), tablet-like use of the large inner screen, support for modes like 'half-opened' (e.g. video on top, controls below), accounting for the fold line so important elements do not land on it. Honestly about the market size, this is key: foldables are still a small, though growing, segment. This is predominantly the Android world (Samsung Galaxy Fold/Flip, Pixel Fold etc.); Apple has no foldable iPhones at the time of writing. So separate foldable optimization is not justified for every app — it makes sense if a premium image matters to you, you have a notable Android audience with such devices, or the product benefits from a large screen. If not — it may be a premature investment, and we will honestly say so. Honestly about the link: good base responsiveness and tablet optimization (863) already cover a significant part of the large-screen benefit; foldable support adds specifically the fold and continuity specifics. Honestly about the effect: it improves the experience of foldable owners and the image but does NOT guarantee audience or sales growth — the segment is still small. Honestly about testing: foldable emulators and, ideally, real devices are needed — claiming support without testing is dishonest. Honestly about access: access to the code is needed. An important boundary: this is foldables; tablets — 863, wearables — 865, base development — 833+. Picture this: instead of 'the interface breaking on unfold' — a smooth premium experience. The base price starts from 25,000 ₽ (depends on the number of screens and scenarios).
Problems we solve
- On a foldable the app breaks on unfold.
- State/place in content is lost on fold-unfold.
- The large inner screen is not used.
- Important elements land on the fold line.

FAQ
Foldables are a big market, is it worth investing?
The segment is still small, though growing, and mostly Android (the iPhone has no foldable models). So separate foldable support is not justified for everyone: it makes sense with a premium image, a notable audience with such devices, or a product that benefits from the large screen. If that is not you — we will honestly say the investment may be premature.
Is this the same as tablet optimization?
Related, but not the same. Good responsiveness and tablet optimization (863) already give the large-screen benefit. Foldable support adds foldable specifics: continuity (no state loss on fold/unfold), half-opened modes, fold-line accounting. It is often wise to start with responsiveness/tablets and add foldables if your audience warrants it.
Will foldable support raise sales?
It will improve the experience of foldable owners and the image, but we honestly do not guarantee audience or sales growth — the segment is still small. We make the foldable experience premium and correct, but it is a niche audience. Promising a noticeable growth in numbers due to foldables would be dishonest; we will honestly assess the real return for you.
