Feltz Lite

Making Hospitals or farms out of felt is fun, but dinosaurs having gun fights on motorbikes is on a whole new level.

It's time to brush off those old fuzzy memories of your childhood and bring your felt masterpieces to the digital world. Exclusive to IOS.

Feltz allows you to create pictures from a large collection of felt pieces (Over 550 in the Pro version). So if you want to make a farm, a monster flying a plane, Dinosoaurs and frogs on skateboards or a simple flower, your imagination is the limit.

Images have been split up into 26 categories including:
Animals
Weapons
Weather
Vehicles
Sports
Eyes and Mouths
Humans
Stickmen
& many more.

Once you have chosen your background felt (27 colors available) and created your picture, you can share by Email or Facebook. You can also save to your camera roll.

We have created Feltz for everyone. Whether it's children discovering feltz for the first time, or the experienced felter, anyone can pick up and create in no time at all. You have 2 ways to rotate or scale each felt image; pinching with your fingers or using the sliders for precision. You can also select from a range of colours for each felt for true customisation.

We are currently working on our next update and would love to hear your feedback. Please share any features you would like to see on a review!
