I made sure the app was working when I set it for the overnight shoot. Where are the photos? ### 2/5 — It's Okay *2015-08-19* This app does not give you enough time to set up the phone. This app would be better if it gave you more than two seconds to set up. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deleted it *2017-12-07, version 1.1* 1. Must set options evert time program is opened. 2. Photos are not saved in Photos. Must view them in the program. 3. Doesn't tell you the nickname you picked is used until you submit your review, then dumps you out of the review losing everything you typed. 4. Does not detect small items moving in the frame. ### 1/5 — Where are the photos *2017-11-29* Would be good I guess but where are the pictures stored ### 1/5 — Didn't work as advertised *2017-06-10* Everyone time I press start the alarm immediately went off after the timer ### 1/5 — Doesn't record video, almost no options *2016-10-03* What the title says. Also amateur UX. ### 1/5 — Useless *2016-08-07* It doesn't gives you what it promises. Totally waste of time. No function, no motion dedection. ### 1/5 — Works but the ads block the menu *2016-05-13* Seems to work, but after you view the photos the ads block the menu so you can exit the photo viewing. It renders the app useless. ### 1/5 — Not a motion sensor *2015-06-07* This app only uses the camera. In a dark room, it doesn't work. I was looking for an alarm that would go off if my iPad was moved. This app does not do that. Don't know why they didn't use the motion sensors to trigger the alarm. ### 2/5 — Good for short time use, not for long *2017-06-10* The app stops if left running overnight and doesn't save the images. ### 2/5 — Does what it says, but ... *2016-12-26, version 1.1* The app takes pictures on detecting motion, BUT you can view the pics in a strange continuos format that cannot be saved anywhere. Once you exit the app, the pic is gone. No picture history, nothing ... But is free. Update - just learned that there's a menu at the top but an ad always covers it. Always. Never seen the menu. ### 2/5 — Needs update and imorovements *2016-10-31, version 1.1* There are two settings: "Take Photos" (disabled) and "Sound" (enabled) - neither switch works, so the app doesn't take pics. I suppose the developer needs to recompile the app in a newer xcode. The motion sensing does work, but there is no way to change sensitivity, sound or timer (2 sec). ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it ! *2016-11-30, version 1.1* I work at a gate entrance and never know when cars are coming I just set this up and it lets me know when cars come thanks ! Keep developing ### 5/5 — Perfect! Used as a pet alarm *2016-08-28, version 1.1* Just set it up on an old iphone 4 with a cheap tripod to alert me when my dog sneaks into a room. I see places where he has marked but never catch him doing it. I could show the dog proof with a photo but he doesn't seem to care. ### 5/5 — Yes *2016-02-14* Yes now I can watch over my apples ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-01-26* This app is one of the best apps except one thing it goes off for no reason ### 5/5 — Best app *2015-08-26* Not only does it uses the camera but it deactivate and reactivate for itself and its very loud ### 5/5 — Awsome product *2015-07-16, version 1.1* Really great app. I work in a gas station night shift I set the motion camera in front of the stations camera system just take a nap on my seat if anyone gets close the station I wake up with alarm lol awsome thank you!!!! ### 3/5 — Good in theory *2017-06-11, version 1.1* A little too sensitive for my particular use. Trees moving in a slight breeze 300 feet away set it off constantly. ### 3/5 — Well... *2016-08-09* How do you set sensitivity or the timer? Thats the only problem I have with this app, so I'll get it 3 stars.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
