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…

Beware

This app only works with burst photos. It doesn’t recognise your full album or selected photos….complete waste of money and poorly explained.

App is garbage

Immediately crashes upon selecting a photo burst. Everything up to date and tried rebooting. Waste of money.

Broken in iOS 14

App was great, but no longer works in iOS 14 — due to the changes that Apple made related to photos permissions. Now, when you select one of your photo bursts, it will instead only import a single one of those photos, so you end up with a single-frame GIF. 🤷🏻‍♂️ App needs to be updated.

Response from developer

Hi Steve, with iOS 14, the app is unable to fetch burst photos when you give permissions only to selected photos. If you allow permissions in Settings - Burstio - Photos - All Photos, the app will be able to search for bursts. You don't have to worry about your privacy. All photos are processed only on your device, we don't collect any data.

Only showed a few burst choices

I can’t give this app much because it didn’t allow me to select the burst I wanted to animate, just 4 short ones from last year.
It wouldn’t allow me to choose the 36-shot burst I wanted to animate.

Tohle jsem hledal, ale...

Vážně, tenhle program jsem hledal, protože mám spoustu sekvencí, které mi dělají nepořádek v knihovně, vypadají jako duplikáty, takže matou. Z nich bych chtěl udělat jedno obyčejné video.
Možná jsem hledal špatně, ale tohle je přesně, co jsem potřeboval. Jediný co mě mrzí, že si nemůžu sám vybrat, jaké fotky do té výsledné sekvence zahrnout; například z konkrétního, už připraveného alba, nebo "všechny" pomocí Cmd+A, apod.
Teď mám právě vytvořené jedno album ve kterém je 275 sekvenčních fotek a potřebuju z nich udělat video, ale v tomhle programu to asi nepůjde; nebo mám počkat na nějaké vylepšení?

Jinak gratuluji, opravdu je to jediný program asi na zeměkouli ktery to dokáže.

Surprenant

J’avais peur de payer pour une appli avec si peu de notes, mais elle fait vraiment le taf est super intuitive, je me demande pourquoi elle n’est pas plus connue!

Works, just one feature request...

Needs the ability to add multiple burst photos together into one video clip.

Мне понравилась.

Удобное, а главное проста в управлении

Fails to export large burst sequences

Export to HD video fails when trying to export 400frame burst. Only get a couple frames.

Would give 0 stars as app fails to execute advertised function

Only burst photos work...

I wanted to use this app to make picture sequences that I took with my camera and uploaded to my phone. I usually have to go through an editing program to make looped picture sequences, looks like I’ll still be doing it the hard way. 99¢ down the drain...

Excellent

Great app, does exactly what it should and turns your iPhone photo bursts into stop motion films. No problems with it at all.

Not a good app

Only allows you to export Burst Photos. If you already saved your burst photos into individual photos this app will NOT work. Do NOT recommend it.

Poor functionality

I saw that this was an app to turn bursts of photos into videos. I assumed that because it was paid for it would be better than the free apps which are similar. I had taken a burst of photos on my camera and uploaded them to my iPhone to turn into a little video clip but this app does not recognise anything but iPhone camera bursts. There is no option, as with the free app I have now used, to go into camera roll and select the photos you want to turn into a video. Super disappointing that this app didn’t work for me and i paid for something I will never use. Maybe something for the developers to look into to make this app better

It didn’t pick up half the photos!

It didn’t pick out the photo bursts I had wanted to work with and can’t see anyway to add any!

too small speeds

add please 1.25x speed or more advanced selection in general
