All apps shut down , trying to move the video to edit frames and it takes a minute and crashes
Thanks

Revert please!

I used to love using this app and then you had to go and completely mess up the UX. After installing the new version on one device, I made sure to never upgrade on my other devices. Please give me back the other version I paid for before, not this new awful non-intuitive interface!

Needs to be more intuitive.

I have been using this with the Galileo by Motrr. I haven't had a successful panning lapse yet (tried 5). Always seems to go the wrong way for some reason. It does turn out quite smoothly but just pans the wrong way. It is hard to illustrate how the 3D device will move on a 2D display when adjusting the settings. Maybe instead of the test button there could be a "quick test" option that shows a sped up demo of how the Galileo will move in the final result. And when you press stop, it moves the Galileo back to the starting position ready for you to start the lapse.

I just found that when testing the settings it kept resetting the direction and maybe that's why the lapses were turning out the wrong way.

Awesome app though has great potential. Love the quality.

Incredibly bad UI

Trying to set up a video to record for 45 minutes with an expectation that I can set the overall duration of the final product I spent 10 minutes trying to get the time dialed in using the horrible user interface. I had to try and roll forward or backwards the tiny individual digits of each of the times and the app would decide that my 45 minute recording could not result in a 2 minute result and would spin back the numbers to give me a 1 minute 30 second result max. I closed the app and decided it was not worth trying anymore as my frustration level was then too high.

I do not recommend this product in any way at all.

Difficult to us

I used to love this app when it was simple. The latest version has a really difficult to use project area where you can stitch together other videos etc -- for that I'd rather use iMovie. All I want this app to do is time lapses and now I can't even do that as I can't figure out how to get a video from a project into my camera roll.

So in my view, a perfectly good and simple app has become complicated and almost unusable unless you know the developer and can pick his brain as to which buttons to press to get the darn timelapse into the camera roll. Loved it before, but now I don't.

Why complicate what was a perfectly useful app?

I loved the previous iteration of this app. It was so simple to use. It did timelapses. That's it. And it did them well.

Unfortunately the developer has sought to add a bit too much value to this new version, adding in clumsy editing suite that isn't really needed, and an interface that is not only difficult to navigate, but is also barely visible when the slightest amount of sunlight shines on the iPhone screen (orange text on black/grey? Seriously?). The old interface may have been less than slick, but it was dead easy to use.

Sorry guys, but I'll be switching to another timelapse app until the developers get this one right again.

To the developers: please revert to a simpler interface. You do timelapse wonderfully, but leave the editing suite to those apps that do it better.

The two stars is only for the parts of the app you've maintained from the original version.

Argggh!

I have used this app & loved it in previous versions, but do not like the latest update. Have no idea how to save my projects to camera roll & today a timelapse I have been doing has been hanging on 'processing video' for an hour. Guess that means I've lost it! Please wind back to the practical working version. We don't need imovie type functions, just a solid working timelapse app (which it WAS)

Dropped 2stars

Since the complete change this has dropped 2 stars... The ability to save to camera roll doesn't work and the new ui is totally confusing compared to the original. Please don't fix unless it's broken....

Latest update killed this app

It used to be the best time lapse app on App Store. Quick and easy to use.

The latest update destroyed the functionality of this up. I simply don't know how to use it after almost 2 years of using it.

Really disappointed.

I just lost 8 hours of photos

Today it was a nice weather so I decided to create a nice long time lapse video. I set the length 8 hours and the final length to 4:30 min. I left my phone to work then I came back in the evening to check the result. Well the result is nothing. No pictures no video just nothing. The app crashed in the very end when it tried to process so I lost the whole shooting. So I would say it's 1 star from me as I would expect the phone to remember the pictures it captured and could re-run other processes. I would go back to my dslr camera which at least not loosing entire works.
