### 1/5 — Poorly designed

*2014-08-18*

:( and lots of ads

### 1/5 — Don't risk it

*2014-05-26*

When I opened this app it froze on the "allow access to photos" pop up then I could not close out of the app without shutting my phone off completely.

### 1/5 — Simply doesn't work

*2014-05-14*

Despite this apps claims I've had no luck getting this to work. Clap as loud as you like - doesn't trigger the timer. Also once the timer starts you can't manually stop it.
Great concept but waste of time.

### 1/5 — Limited

*2013-11-17*

Does what it advertises. Needed flash support. Couldn't find it easily. Didn't have time to really look. Found another one that did. Maybe next time.

### 1/5 — Did nothing

*2020-04-30*

Tried it. With timer it would just cut off and go to main phone screen. Clap thing did not work. I deleted immediately.

### 1/5 — App crashes when it takes a picture

*2019-10-20*

The definition of useless

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2019-03-31*

Tried multiple times, and the screen shows black, with timer buttons. Can’t access camera or photos maybe? (Even though I double-checked my settings)

### 1/5 — Does not work at all

*2019-01-01*

This app literally doesn’t do a thing. It counts down and that’s it. No photos at all!!

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2018-05-08*

It takes a picture as soon as u press start and doesnt take a picture when count down is finished

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2017-12-20*

It just freezes after I take a pic.

### 1/5 — almost unusable as no selfies can be taken

*2016-02-23*

who would use this with the clap function if the focus is ..,,,,,...oh where is it ?

### 1/5 — Cant  use front facing camera

*2015-11-06*

Cant even switch to front facing camera. What a joke for a specified camera app

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!!!!

*2015-03-08*

THIS APP IS HORRIBLE! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME! IF I COULD RATE IT 0 STARS, I WOULD!!! THE CLAP TO SHOOT THING DOES NOT WORK NO MATTER HOW LOUD YOU CLAP!!!

### 1/5 — Big liars

*2015-01-06*

This app does not have even HALF of the features it claims to have. All you can do is choose between 3 different timers. The clap function doesn't work. There is no burst mode. Terrible.

### 3/5 — Works in principals

*2013-11-03*

A very useful app and very user friendly interface. Takes one shot, no matter what setting you chose, freezes for a few seconds and crashes!! This happened every single time I tried to use the app. Yes, the app works but unfortunately only once...

### 2/5 — Could be useful

*2013-10-10*

Decent app but there is no way to use the front camera, and for a self timer the ability to use the front camera is pretty essential.
