### 5/5 — An essential for cloud chasers 5/5 stars

*2026-08-02, version 2.0.5*

Skyflow has unlocked cloud timelapses for me and ignited my fascination and joy for clouds! I can confidently rely on this app when I leave my phone for several hours (building health habits) and come back to an incredible video. I can’t recommend this app enough! 
My one wish is to add more zoom levels. My view in the city can’t use 1x without showing other buildings but I’m losing too much of the sky with 5x. The high quality detail captured in a smaller 5x window of the sky has still been more than enough for me to fall in love with this app

### 4/5 — Everything the default camera app should be - but with some caveats

*2026-07-30, version 2.0.5*

So I had been hunting for a time lapse app that gave me very fine grained recording options, and this app fits the bill almost perfectly. However I’m noticing that during playback, there’s either a frame rate glitch or a recording glitch that after exporting the video from the app, you can tell where it starts off really fast and then slows down. It’s very noticeable if you have it set to take a photo every fifth of a second, and I haven’t had a chance to test slower capture rates.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-06-27, version 2.0.5*

Careful don’t try to shoot a real timelapse, this program will hold your video hostage until you pay

### 5/5 — GREAT

*2026-06-26, version 2.0.5*

Excellent app to record myself drawing. The paid version is well worth the small price. I wish i could pause a recording, but this is a minor criticism.

### 5/5 — Only Timelapse Cam You Need

*2026-05-28, version 2.0.5*

Easy to record, cut, and append to sequences. Export video or images. Finally get timelapses with consistent time compression.

### 4/5 — Export issue

*2026-05-15*

The app is really good but I’m facing issues while exporting. Plz help

**Developer response:** Hi. Please send me an email with the application logs. Only this way I can help.

### 5/5 — Best timelapse app

*2026-05-10, version 2.0.5*

Hands down the best time lapse app for phones. I have tried literally every one that has been released for a decade and none compare. Been a long time user and was excited to see that it had been updated for modern iPhones.

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-04-02, version 2.0.4*

I have not found out how to zoom before capturing. How can this be done?

### 5/5 — Perfect App

*2026-03-09, version 2.0.4*

It did exactly what I wanted.!. And all I wanted to was a short interval timer! A dream app

### 4/5 — 修正希望

*2026-03-04, version 2.0.3*

以前は撮影時に高画質、保存時は低画質一括保存ということが無料で出来たが、アップデート後は高画質で撮影すると一括保存は課金が必要かつ保存は撮影時の画質のみになってしまった。容量の問題とパソコンへの移動速度の問題から以前の無料版の機能に満足していたが課金しても前の機能が戻って来なかった。
他のアプリを使えば圧縮出来るが量が多いのと、このアプリだけで解決したものが一手間増えてしまったのは残念。
また画像を一括保存しパソコンから確認すると名称がめちゃくちゃで連番で保存されていない。以前はIMG＿xxxxという名称で連番だった。
