## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worked once

*2024-10-24*

It worked once then immediately started crashing as soon as you tried to adjust it

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2024-07-03*

This app has always worked well for me until recently. Due to the lack of updates the app opens to a grey screen and no matter what you can’t get your camera to turn on. Really disappointed because this is the only app I’ve found that works well for zoetropes.

### 2/5 — Vinyl looks great - doesn’t record

*2023-10-31*

The vinyl looks great with the app, but the recordings don’t save. I want to share this cool effect with others, but can’t.

### 2/5 — Outdated - Need Update

*2023-10-04*

This app had a lot of potential for those of us that like to spin Zeotrope vinyl records.  Unfortunately it has not been updated in over a year.  The interface is outdated and the text labels no longer display. If updates are planned please add vertical and horizontal capture options. The addition of zoom  features would also be well received.

### 5/5 — Works

*2024-05-03*

Honestly, almost impossible to find an app that records at the right rate to just see a zeotrope!

So Im glad that it actually works.

Thanks! :)

### 5/5 — Best Zoetrope viewer

*2023-03-15*

By far the easiest way I have found to view zoetrope vinyl and you can record within the app

### 5/5 — Works great

*2018-04-27*

Love this app, let’s me see animated movement that just looks like a blur without the app.  Amazing!

### 5/5 — Nice compliment to your artwork

*2018-04-20*

The artist created an app to view his artwork on display at the Smithsonian. Brings a new dimension to viewing a fun piece of Burning Man art
