Candidate for deletion. ### 3/5 — The ads ruin your photo shoot *2020-05-29* The ads pop up in the middle of your photo session ruining everything. It would be one thing if they interrupted things but your photos and count down continue while the ads are playing. The ads cover the screen so you can’t pause your session. ### 1/5 — Paid (Plus) version without Ads doesn’t work *2019-02-04* Paid (Plus) version doesn’t work. It is not able to access camera, its entry is not created in settings and there is no way to give access to camera. You pay for removing Ads and it becomes useless. ### 1/5 — Did not save all the photos *2018-12-25* Seemed like a great app. I tested it a few times in multi shot mode with no problems except after about the 4th time it only saved one photo out of 10. So there’s a bunch of family photos I tried to take on Christmas morning that didn’t save. Do not waste your time with this app. ### 1/5 — More like timer with no picture *2018-12-12, version 5.3* Pictures don’t save. The reviews say it all 3-2-1 delete the app!! ### 1/5 — The ads prevent the photos *2018-12-01, version 5.3* As soon as the Google ads pop on screen, it stops taking photos. You still hear the countdown, but it does not take photos. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2018-05-27, version 5.3* Horrible app. It said it took a picture but it’s never in my photo album. Would definitely not recommend to anyone interested in buying a useful or slightly decent application. ### 1/5 — Multi shot does not work *2018-05-09* After the first photo an add pops up meaning that the rest of the photos in the multi shot series are not taken. After you have set a timer u have to run back to the phone and cancel the add very unhelpful ### 4/5 — Single Shot Work Around *2018-04-30* I also had the problem of thinking I was taking multiple shot to later realize that only one was saved. The solution that I found was to turn off cellular and wifi data. This prevents the advertisements from starting. The ads seem to interfere with storing the pics. Hope this helps someone. Otherwise it works as expected. ### 2/5 — Has potential *2018-01-11, version 5.3* This is the only app that takes multiple timed photos but the new update ruined it and now the pictures don’t save even though you can hear the camera going off. If the problems were fixed it would easily get a 5 Star but alas, 2 stars is all you get, and only for the potential it has. ### 1/5 — Ads stop camera *2017-12-04, version 5.3* Doesn't take more than one photo because ads pop up and interfere with automatic timer. ### 2/5 — Why limit to 30 shots? *2017-12-03, version 5.3* It should be unlimited or user specified number of shots ### 1/5 — needs a new update *2017-10-22, version 5.3* after the first photo is taken an ad comes up but it still makes the photo sounds but only saves one picture. not worth the download anymore! ### 1/5 — Erratic behaviour ! *2017-10-22, version 5.3* It works when it feels like it . What a disappointment when you count on this App for making group pictures with family and friends . It either needs to be redesign completely or have a major update for fixing the bug : “ I don’t work at all ! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all... *2017-10-08* As noted by other reviewers, you can set up all your times for multi shots, but it doesn’t matter because after the first shot is taken, an ad starts which stops everything else from happening. I’ve noticed that the shutter sound and the countdown aren’t in sync either. Just a very poor quality app - really surprised it was approved for release by Apple. ### 1/5 — Absolutely shocking *2017-06-09* Takes low quality photos, manages to get one before adverts pop up which stops the rest Don't waste your time on this crap ### 3/5 — ...almost. *2017-04-30* A couple of things keep this app from rising to the top of the pool. 1) pop ads during a shoot. 2) the actual shot occurs about three seconds after the end of he countdown. ### 1/5 — Set for 5 pics and ads interrupt by 3rd shot *2017-04-28, version 5.3* Since it's update, terrible!! ### 1/5 — Ads disable app *2017-04-12* This was a great app. When the ads were added it disables the timer after two shots. Please change this. I'd pay for the ad free upgrade as this was a great app but right now it's useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No support for this app *2024-10-06* I’ve been trying to request support for this app since my pictures are not storing to the camera roll. Has anyone experienced this? Where can I find the pictures??? ### 1/5 — Photos won’t go to library *2022-03-14, version 5.3* How do I get the photos to go to the library? ### 1/5 — It does not save all photos *2021-01-14* I’ve tried many times and it does not save photos when you choose multiples ones. Search for a better app. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2020-11-22* Used to love this app, but now it is absolutely worthless. Ads interrupt picture taking and when it seems to have taken pictures, they cannot be located. Don’t waste your time with this app. ### 1/5 — This used to be a great app *2020-01-03* Now it doesn’t save the pictures. After reading reviews - it’s not just me. Too bad, it was a great app, easy to use and functional. Now it’s just crap. ### 1/5 — Ugh!!!! Use to be good. *2019-09-15* This use to work very simply. Was perfect. Now it starts an ad half way into your photo shoot, so it confuses you then it doesn’t even put the photos anywhere now it seems. So odd. They should just charge the .99 for the app and get rid of the ads and make sure the photos can be saved somewhere. Great user experience gone down hill ### 1/5 — Isn’t how it seems *2019-08-19* This app seemed really cool at first but I was doing a trick and it didn’t show the feet at all which is what I needed plus the quality is horrible I though it was my camera and after cleaning it for about 5 minutes it was still very bad and it might just be me but after you take the photo it sounds creepy I think this is more 6+ I don’t recommend this app ### 1/5 — Photos don’t save no more to camera roll *2019-07-28* I guess with the last update when you take a picture it does not save it to your camera roll or put it in a folder anywhere on my phone I’ve checked every where. ### 1/5 — Camera timer *2019-07-22* Rubbish app, relies on adds that will pop up during a photo sequence. So what happens is, it will take one photo then an add will pop up on the scene cancelling any other photos. Don’t waste your time with this app ### 1/5 — Garbage! *2019-06-03* Anytime an ad pops up it doesn’t record the photo- additionally you’ll take multiple photos but they don’t save to your phone. Don’t waste your time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2018-07-10, version 5.3* An amazing app!!! Makes me look fabuloussss!!!😍😍😍 ### 5/5 — Love this free app for interval shooting! *2016-11-22* I wish I had found this free app before I spent money on a few other paid apps that couldn't deliver this simple feature: taking multiple photos at a set interval. The max number of photos you can set up for his app is 30, which is a lot higher than another paid app that allows only 10!! ### 5/5 — I like it *2016-11-05, version 5.3* I like this app. Thank you ### 5/5 — Simple and great app *2015-10-02* Set interval time and number of shots and start. ### 5/5 — 😍💞💯 *2015-07-15, version 5.1.1* i love this app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-06-07, version 5.0* It is an excellent app. Use it all the time, but need to have the option of turning off the ad banners. ### 5/5 — Best photo timer app I've found! *2014-11-15* I write a fashion/clothing blog and I need a camera timer app as I take multiple photos of myself in an array of garments. This app is brilliant; not only does it take photos on a timer, but also you can take many photos in a row. On top of this, you can adjust the start time and the length of the pause in between shots. It's superb! I found it used to crash a lot on my iPhone 4S but it works perfectly on my 4th generation iPad and my new iPhone 6 Plus. Yes, the pop up ads get annoying and are very intrusive, but this is a free (perfectly crafted) app so what do you expect?! If you get fed up with the ads, just switch your phone to Airplane Mode whilst you're using the app and the ads will magically disappear! I absolutely adore this app and don't think I could blog without it. Thank you to the designers for making such a wonderful user-friendly application. ### 5/5 — Working Great So Far *2014-04-07* It does what it says and that's great, easy to find photos afterwards and even uses flash and zoom. I haven't tested the standard of image in a group photo in a pub etc but those can be iffy with any phone camera but the image in normal conditions is great. ### 5/5 — PERFECT *2014-02-23* This app is the BEST timer app EVER!!!!!!!!! I use it all the time now. And it's one if my favourite apps!!!!!! Defiantly get it!!! 😘😘😘 5 stars amazing!!!!! ### 5/5 — just what I wanted! *2013-12-25, version 4.0.1* wanted a camera timer for a family photo... some of the other apps had some negative reviews on picture quality. this one had no reviews but it said optimized for iPhone 5 so I took a chance... picture quality is great... plus the multi shot feature is really handy and fun! yes it has ads, but this isn't an app I use every day so it's not a big deal. thumbs up or 'like' or whatever we say these days! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
