### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2026-03-24, version 6.4.2*

Perfection.
Five stars.
Highly recommend!!!

### 4/5 — Awsome App, should add import from files

*2024-10-26, version 6.4.1*

Trying to put together images would have me add every frame to iPhoto app, would rather not add 100+ images to photos, add from files would be awsome. Otherwise one of the best

### 2/5 — Use to be good

*2022-11-26, version 6.1.1*

I’m a YouTuber animator and this app worked wonders for about 2 years but recently it’s been crashing all the time, I couldn’t export any footage because every time I would hit my movies it would crazy, and now the newest update, the picture quality looks bad no matter what I select because the camera is weirdly zoomed in and it also makes it way more sensitive to slight movements so now no matter how careful I am, every video comes out shaky and unprofessional looking. And weirdly fuzzy thanks to the weird zoom

### 1/5 — Useless: perhaps outdated

*2022-09-21, version 6.1*

Could not transfer/save time lapse sequences to my photos file or any other destination. Definitely would like my money back. Using an iPhone11 pro.

### 2/5 — Onion Skin Not Working Properly

*2022-04-02, version 6.0.1*

I’ve used this app for 4 years and it’s worked perfectly and flawlessly.

However in the last few weeks the onion skin feature (translucent image of the previous frame), now appears incorrectly distorted, making it impossible to accurately line up the next frame.

Also, the trigger time from using iMotion remote on another phone, used to be immediate, but now takes 5+ seconds to actually trigger, massively slowing down workflow.

Using an iPhone 13 Pro Max, fully updated.

Really disappointed, please fix!!!

### 1/5 — App has a bug on the first frame

*2022-02-13, version 6.0.1*

Love this app but after the recent update when you set up your frame and take the first the shot…it is reinterpreted and throws off your frame and the onion skin stays on your first frame.

### 5/5 — Dark Mode

*2021-02-15, version 5.0.7*

There system already have Dark Mode automatic. I ask you to do work on support Dark Mode everything without miss because of photo too bright light mode background.
I hate too bright light mode hurt my eyes because I have low vision.

I am sorry I am not good English to explain but would you like to work support dark mode through system iPadOS with iPad Pro Generation 3

### 1/5 — Does not work?

*2020-10-11, version 5.0.4*

This app does not work what so ever. I wanted to timelapse a video i imported. 
& the edit menu does not work whatsoever. I cant playback the video or anything. I guess i should have red the review before impulsively paying for this app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t appear to work at all

*2020-09-28, version 5.0.4*

I downloaded this based on a review and tried to use it on my phone and iPad. On both I had the same experience - when I tried to import photos (which is the way I’d need to make my video), it let me select and import them, and then all of the photos appeared as a black screen. There is also no way to save the video in progress to come back and keep working on it, which is a little crazy for a video-making app.

### 1/5 — Where is the microphone? Where are my previous movies from iMotion?

*2020-07-15, version 5.0.4*

Version: 5.0.4

No microphone? The screenshots show a microphone option. Instead, this iMotionPro shows “Import.”  

Also, why can I not see the movies I made with iMotion when using iMotionPro?
