I can no longer use it to turn my Radian like a mini turntable. It used to work and updates have broken it. Now my Radian is a paper weight. Such a shame to go from a great tool to a paper weight because of a poor app. Please spend some time bringing the app back up to speed so I can use my radian again. Loved it until now. ### 2/5 — Flaky operation *2019-07-13, version 3.26* This is occasionally a great app and photographic panning device. But it is flaky and unreliable. The connection to my Nikon is intermittent. This could be much better. You can see the developers have abandoned any recent upgrades. And their production line is seriously delayed. It may work for you. Bust beware. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2019-04-13, version 3.26* Spent money on this and it worked a couple of times but now when I plug my camera and phone in it just takes off and does whatever it wants. Absolute garbage support options too. DONT BUT THE PRODUCT AT ALL ### 1/5 — don't download *2016-11-18, version 3.26* another failed upgrade. radian2 was working fine now it will not connect via bluetooth. radian is now nonfunctional. DO NOT INSTALL this "upgrade"! please test thoroughly before updating. and please create a way to revert to previous version. it worked fine. ### 1/5 — Nice concept but unreliable *2016-07-29, version 3.17* I've had my Radian 2 for over 6 months now and am happy with its basic function - simple timelapse and camera motion control with pans or slides. However the more advanced features of a Bramp are completely unreliable with the Radian being shut down by the app 10 min. into a 90 minute Bramp timelapse or the intervals between exposures being erratic and in predictable. Would love to recommend this to people, and if you're looking for a simple intervalometer that can also rotate your camera or power your slider this is not bad, but if you're looking to take advantage of using the advertised feature set - I'd advise you to wait until the bugs are all worked out. ### 5/5 — The Ultimate Radian *2016-03-03, version 3.15* Works exactly as marketed. Can't wait to take timelapses on my upcoming vacation to Argentina. Awesome device. Can't wait for Pulse. Thank you Alpine Labs! ### 3/5 — Current Verison? *2015-12-31, version 3.10.2* The icon on the Apple web sit seems to be stuck on a update cycle. On Apple the current version show 3.10.2. My application on my iPad show a version 3.11. What is the correct up to date version? ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2014-12-07, version 2.02.1* This app programs the Radian time lapse device from Alpine Labs. The app is super easy to use and has so far been flawless. I am very impressed by the elegant simplicity of the use of the phone audio cable as the method for programming the Radian device - inspired! Programming takes just a few seconds and the phone can be disconnected immediately afterwards. The app keeps track of the Radian progress and also allows multiple programs to be uploaded in sequence for special effects. Really, really, cool! Radian and its app is highly recommended for anyone interested in time lapse photography. ### 1/5 — Radian *2014-08-28, version 1.06* It's not working at all on iPhone and iPad And right now I'm out ........ ### 1/5 — Update Breaks The App & My Radian *2014-08-28, version 1.06* Hmmm... There's been an update to this app, it's now broken and I can no longer programme my newly acquired Radian... I am very displeased.... The App opens but only a grey screen with < 1, 2, 3, > at the bottom - NOTHING else. Please sort this as a matter of urgency ASAP!!!! I am running an iPhone 5S with the latest release of iOS 7. ## Frequently asked questions about radian ### Does radian have ads?
