### 1/5 — Shockingly bad.

*2024-06-09*

I needed time stamps on the frames of a timelapse capture to document the moment a particular event happens, which I can’t get through the native iPhone camera app. The description for this app suggested it included this feature. 1. Not only does it apparently NOT have that ability, it also crash quits when you hit the Details/Edit Frames button (perhaps timestamp is in there, but since it crashes on select, we’ll never know); and 2. astoundingly, when I hit Watch for the initial 7-frame file I just captured, the app acts like it’s opening something, but it just sticks on a black screen. So that’s $2 down the drain. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t pay attention to the average 2-star review, my only excuse is it’s early Sunday morning and I had not yet had even a sip of coffee. This app should be removed from the store.

### 1/5 — Great app.

*2019-08-31*

Much better than the time lapse option in the native Apple camera. If only it wouldn’t crash after less than 40 frames.

Such a shame!

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing after 100 photos

*2019-01-13*

Really not good enough when you've paid for a pro app

### 2/5 — Severely limited

*2017-08-25, version 1.3.2*

Can't use previously taken photos to compile time lapse. Pretty limited functionality

### 1/5 — Crashes, developer doesn't respond

*2017-07-13*

Sadly this app crashes after just 100 to 200 frames, I've tried different settings but is always crashes. Contacted the developer and even then enough time but they don't respond. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Bought recently

*2017-06-11, version 1.3.2*

Recently bought this app to take time lapse videos of drives from the vehicles perspective. App either will not take frames or crashes after a few frames.

### 3/5 — Disappointed :(

*2017-05-28, version 1.3.2*

I bought this app thinking I could import previous pictures from my photos library. Unfortunately, you can only use photos that you take through the app. My husband and I are building a house and I wanted to create a time lapse of the construction process. Overall, the app seems well designed and straight forward but I wish the description clarified that you cannot import previous photos for your videos.

### 1/5 — No go

*2016-12-29*

Hasn't worked for me. I haven't been able to use this app once.
It freezes every time I try to set the time lapse or a grey box appears and nothing can be done unless I turn the phone off.
Hope others have more luck

### 1/5 — Seriously?

*2016-09-26*

What is going on? I cannot go out from a settings screen! I cant believe this cost real money! How am I expected to use this dumb app? Mind blown at the incompetence! Better fix this NOW Iphone 6se.  Zero stars. For some reason there is no zero star option. This gets ZERO stars. If you are reading this, you have one highly motivated anti user. :( :( :( :( :(  Five not happy faces.

### 2/5 — Stopped Working

*2016-06-16*

It won't let me in!!!
