Only works with actual burst photos

Be advised: Wanted to use this to combine a burst from a DSLR into a video but this only works with actual iPhone bursts

Great app

I was a bit scared downloading this app, given that (as of 2025) it wasn’t updated for 8 years - but it works well and converted my bursts into videos just fine!

Great app, but broken, needs update!

I have been using this app for years, probably 1–5 times per month, and it’s super useful when I need it.

However, the app broke when I updated to IOS 17: everything still works, but at the last step (exporting the GIF/movie) is impossible because the buttons are hidden beyond the bottom edge of the screen.

I hope the developer will update the app! I would be a shame not to since everything else (besides the final export) is working fine.

It’s a great app!

Totale Enttäuschung

Die App kann keine Serienfotos auswählen und zu einem Video zusammenfassen.

Nefunkční

Absolutně nefunkční aplikace. Princip zpracovaní je jednoduchý a intuitivní…blbý je, že to je asi tak všechno…
