Abstract: A flexible apparatus with a bending interaction guide is provided. The flexible apparatus includes a sensor which senses a bending that deforms the shape of the flexible apparatus, and a controller which performs a controlling operation corresponding to the bending, when a previously set bending is sensed. The controller adds and provides the bending interaction guide based on a bending set with respect to each of the objects that are displayed on a screen.
