### 5/5 — 子供の自走に最適

*2026-07-25*

iPhone標準のカメラについているタイムラプスでは30分の学習でも1時間の学習でも3時間の学習でも倍率が変わって同じ30秒前後の動画になってしまいますが、実時間と動画時間とを簡単に換算できるタイムラプスアプリがないか探したところ、まさに学習を目的にしたこのアプリに辿り着きました。

60倍にすれば1分が1秒で実時間をそのまま動画時間に換算でき、さらに学習時間を一緒に記録して残してくれる。欲しかった機能がジャストに備わった最高のアプリです。

小学生の子供たちが喜んで動画を撮りながら学習に取り組み、学習した成果を後から誇らしげに動画で見せてくれるので、監視してなくても集中して学習に向かう事ができるようになりました。

### 5/5 — まじでいい！

*2026-06-29*

試験勉強のやる気出ないねってみんなで話しててこれみんなで取ってグルラに送るようになってからめっちゃモチベ上がった！2時間のやつを2分とにまとめれるからまじで最高！

### 5/5 — 家だとだらけてしまう方にオススメ

*2026-05-29*

夜に上がっているようなタイムラプス動画を、自動で作ってくれるアプリです。
・スマホが必然的に封印される
・簡単に「よそゆき」の自分を作れる
・記録もしてくれる
今だと家での作業が楽しみです。最高のアプリ、ありがとうございます。これからも使っていきます！

### 5/5 — とても良いアプリです！

*2026-05-09*

データの収集はなしとのことで、安心して使えます。
日本製のアプリなのも嬉しい点です。

**Developer response:** Coc.o-o. 様
レビューをいただきありがとうございます！
安心して長く使っていただけるよう、プライバシー（データ収集なし）の担保と、シンプルで心地よい手触りにこだわってアップデートを重ねていきます。今後ともFocusLapseをよろしくお願いいたします！

### 4/5 — 結構良い

*2026-05-06*

勉強のモチベーションも上がってめっちゃいいです！！
１つ改善点で言えば時計？みたいなやつを表示できるんですけど個人的にはいらないかな…時計もオンオフ機能があれば良いなと。
倍速で見れるのは良いなと思いました。是非入れてみてください

**Developer response:** FocusLapseを勉強のモチベーション維持に役立てていただき、本当に嬉しいです！
また、時計表示に関する貴重なフィードバックをありがとうございます！より集中しやすい環境を作れるよう、今後もアップデートを重ねていきます！

### 4/5 — 録画の再開はどうすればいいですか？

*2026-02-15*

録画中に別のアプリを開いた際、録画は停止されますが、再びこのアプリを開いた後、どう操作すれば録画を再開できますか？

**Developer response:** 貴重なご意見ありがとうございます！
現状、録画の再開機能は実装しておらず、 別のアプリを開くと録画が一旦終了する仕様となっております。ご不便をおかけしており申し訳ありません。
より使いやすいアプリを目指す中で、今後のアップデートでの実装を前向きに検討しております。引き続きよろしくお願いいたします。

### 5/5 — 神！

*2026-01-20*

監視されている感じがあっていつもより集中力が上がります！タイムラプスをiPhoneのカメラロールに保存しなくてもアプリ内で集中時間と共に確認できるので便利です。操作性も良く使いやすいです！

**Developer response:** せっかく撮影していただいた記録が保存できなかったとのこと、ご不便をおかけして大変申し訳ございません。不具合を修正した最新バージョン（ver 1.1.0）をリリースいたしました。
引き続きよろしくお願いいたします！
