### 1/5 — Ich kann nur abraten!

*2026-02-25, version 1.5.7*

Preisleistung für über 100 € einfach viel zu teuer. Das Gehäuse der Kamera wurde lediglich 3-D gedruckt, und erscheint sehr instabil. Wenn man nicht richtig aufpasst hat man die Kamera Ruckzuck in ihren Einzelteilen in der Hand. Ja die Qualität der Aufnahmen ist ganz gut, aber das war’s auch schon. Ziemlich häufig hat man einzelne Frames die grüne Streifen, Pixel, oder sonst irgendwelche Bildfehler haben. Bei so einem hochpreisigen Produkt einfach inakzeptabel. Die App hat ein furchtbares Design und ist total verwirrend und unübersichtlich aufgebaut, zudem leider nur auf Englisch verfügbar. Ich könnte Stunden so weitermachen und noch eine Menge negatives berichten, aber das würde meine kostbare Lebenszeit nur unnötig verschwenden. Ich würde jedem dazu raten zu einem günstigeren Konkurrenzprodukt zu greifen, und wer es wirklich hochauflösend mag sollte vielleicht doch besser zu einer GoPro oder einer echten Kamera greifen.

### 5/5 — Now forever in love with plant Timelapse’s

*2026-02-01*

This timelapse camera has been such a fun addition to my plant setup! Installation was straightforward, the video quality is crisp and clear,  and the app is extremely intuitive. Thoughtfully designed features make it extremely easy to sort and edit pictures to update/create the timelapses. Being able to watch my leaves grow and unfurl in real time has been so satisfying and honestly a little addictive 😍 just watching the leaves make little moveents throughout the day is a beautiful thing to watch :)

If you’re a plant lover who enjoys tracking growth or sharing progress, this is such a great tool. Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** Hi Grace, thank you so much for your kind review! 😍
