### 5/5 — Bonne appli

*2026-05-20*

Bloqué en 720p pour je ne peu. Pas faire de 4k? Je l’ai acheté en plus, je ne comprends pas merci de me repondre

### 4/5 — Pretty great. Need access to “fav” and “folders” through the photos app.

*2026-03-30, version 5.02*

Does what it needs to really well. Needs better access into the photos on the phone. No folders or fav

### 5/5 — Most versatile

*2026-02-23, version 5.02*

Literally everything is editable that you can think of, after AND during recording!

### 1/5 — Buggy crashes doesn’t work

*2026-01-19, version 5.02*

Crashes iPhone 17 pro max - I can’t get res to go past 720p - I have full subscription- I’ve deleted and re installed - really wanted to like

### 1/5 — Why the logo

*2025-12-06, version 5.02*

there is a “lapse it” logo and I don’t think you can get rid of it. Unless you buy subscription maybe. I don’t like the logo it looks trash.

### 2/5 — I’ll never buy it for two reasons.

*2025-11-20, version 5.02*

Don’t get me wrong this is a great app, but I will never buy it for two reasons, 1) you cannot batch select images you’ve got to click on each one individually, and if I have over 100 images then I have to click over 100 times on each individual image. Which is crazy. 2) the app hasn’t been updated in six years. It’s also kind of sneaky that if you upgrade from the free version to the pro version it suggests that the price is £4.99 yearly yet you can buy the pro version for £2.99 !!

### 1/5 — Holds your photos hostage

*2025-08-20, version 5.02*

Clunky and ad heavy app.  Puts their own watermark on your files and then makes using individual photos hard to access.  Looks like a good option but the cost and delivery is poor.  Avoid.

### 1/5 — Confusing and useless

*2025-08-17, version 5.02*

The app either doesn’t work at all or the way to get it to work is so confusing that it’s impossible to figure out.

### 5/5 — Cool!

*2025-07-26, version 5.02*

Lapse it is the perfect  app for editing, making,and sharing videos.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-07-12, version 5.02*

Easy to use, doesn’t crash, fine control but not overly complex.
