Doesn’t work

I paid for this app few years back. Meanwhile I had to trash it and now when I downloaded again it doesn’t let me restore my previous purchase. It doesn’t work at all if you don’t pay

Great! I love it!

It makes the picture look like a model scale!

Still the best

The smoothest time lapse app. It was broken for awhile but seems to be working fine now. I’ve tried them all and this still produces something people enjoy watching

Can’t quit the app

I deleted the app because, once you launch it, you can’t quit it *and* a force pop up to buy the “Pro” version doesn’t let you move ahead using it.

I had to force restart my phone in order to use it again. Not great.

Bad don’t get!

The result is all pixelated and weird. It also looks nothing like tilt shift. Please follow my advise and don’t get this stupid app.

FAQ

What does the Miniatures app do?

This app allows you to create time-lapse videos that mimic the look of miniature scenes. It achieves this by combining a tilt-shift blur effect with accelerated playback of your recorded footage, making real-world objects appear small and toy-like.

What are the key features of the app?

Key features include control over shooting intervals, the ability to apply a tilt-shift blur effect, and options to increase color saturation. The PRO upgrade offers higher video resolutions (720p and 1080p), a noise removal filter, a vignette filter, and a 'Shutter Drag' effect for blurring moving objects.

Is the app free to use?

The app is free to download and use with basic features. Advanced features and higher video resolutions are available through a PRO upgrade, which is an in-app purchase.

What are the best use cases for this app?

This app is ideal for creating visually striking time-lapse videos of cityscapes, traffic, nature, or everyday scenes, giving them a unique miniature or toy-like appearance. It's perfect for users looking to add an artistic and surreal touch to their video content.

What are the tips for using the app effectively?

To ensure smooth recording, it's recommended to disable phone calls by enabling Airplane mode, use a tripod to keep the phone steady, and connect a charger for long recording sessions. If you encounter crashes in 1080p mode, rebooting your device can help. Avoid quitting the app during recording to prevent data loss.
