### 1/5 — 5 years since last update?????

*2024-06-16*

This can be a very enjoyable and shareable experience but an update is desperately needed as videos aren’t saving to the camera roll.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-06-01*

Love it use it all the time

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2022-07-06*

I wish developers were required to let customers know they have abandoned an app. This used to be a fantastic app but hasn’t been updated in three years. That’s fine, developers have the right to do whatever they want with their apps, but it seems more like a scam when they keep an app up on the App Store that doesn’t really work anymore.

I’m finally deleting after three years of no update :-(

### 1/5 — USED to work great, now on IOS 15.5 the Export features is DEAD

*2022-06-09*

I have had great success with this in the past, I really liked it. But my latest videos are stuck in Projects, I can’t export them. I was able to use Finder to copy all the files to my iMac, but all I got was a couple of GB of still images. Which is just slightly better than nothing. They do not answer tech requests and the last update was 3 years ago. I can no longer recommend this!!!

### 1/5 — Export Problems

*2022-05-08*

Recorded a 4,900 frame Timelapse. It will only export at 1FPS or 2FPS. Anything faster than that and the app just closes during export. Waste of money. Find something that has basic working functionality!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2021-12-30*

What a waste of money did a 1450 picture Timelapse just crashes when exporting
Rip off

### 3/5 — Pls read

*2020-04-20*

Okay so I like this app but it won’t let me add music like it said in the description and in the app the “help” thing is no help another thing is you can’t record any voice to the video but overall it’s a good app but I would like to see a voice recorder on here so if you made this app and are reading this pls add a voice recorder and the reason is because it looks weird with out sounds but this is a pretty good app overall.

### 1/5 — I WANT MY MONEY BACK !!!!

*2020-02-20*

The last version updated in more than a year ago !
I didnt check this in advance. I guess its my fault.
again, sinply  DO NOT BUY
Apple should put down these rottening old apps.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE FOR ANIMATORS

*2019-03-10, version 1.61*

This is the bes—nope,WORST animation app for you do not download it pls it’s a scam. You do not have a microphone for actually saying stuff. If you want a real animation studio get zing Stikbot studio. It is glitchy but good

### 5/5 — It’s About Time(lapse).

*2019-01-31*

I love Frameographer.

So many folks seem to be reviewing this app for lack of the features it never claimed to have in the first place. This app does exactly what it says it will do, does it extremely well, and is worth every penny.

The initial release predated the availability to shoot timelapse on the standard iOS camera, and Frameograph was a godsend for folks like me who had longed for the ability to create simple timelapse and stop motion without a fancy SLR, tripod, etc. It’s also great for stop motion animation.

I still choose this app over the standard timelapse now available in iOS, but given the rise in portrait mode shooting because of Instagram Story, I do think adding a vertical UI and adding functionality that allows users to easily shoot in portrait mode would be an amazing update.
