Share sheet glitch

Since updating to iOS 26, after sharing via airdrop to an unknown device or via email, the app’s UI shifts upwards, requiring a total restart of the app to reset. We depend on this app for our curriculum, and this had made it difficult to use. Not sure if updates are still being made, but we would appreciate this being looked at!

No longer works

App crashes to the desktop, no longer works with current iPadOS.

Useless

Since I couldn't pu 0 stars, I'll put one. I paid 13,00$ for a logiciel that doesn't even works and that doesn't open. Says compatible with macOS, but I dont think it is. Dont buy it, it is a waste of money and time.

I iStopMotion

This app was amazing. It was so cool. I like making stop motion. I really recommend this. Even though it’s really money, but it’s so good. I really recommend it. I’ve been doing this for like a day. I got it this day and it is amazing. I really really recommend. Hope you have fun doing stop motion.

Please refund

Does not allow taking stop motion videos in portrait mode. This should be a no-brainer feature but the app actually prevents you from doing this and always defaults to landscape view even when rotating the phone. Very bare bones app with poorly designed UI/UX. Not worth $10 👎

Response from developer

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with iStopMotion. We'll consider adding portrait mode to a future version. The rotation lock is to prevent accidentally changing the format while you're creating a stop motion video. To request a refund, go to your App Store purchases page. Best regards, Oliver Breidenbach.
