What a waste of a two hour Time-Lapse that became nothing . ### 1/5 — Lacks features *2016-11-28, version 2.0* The app does not let you change the speed of the video. ### 1/5 — Time lapse *2016-09-15, version 2.0* This is a free app, but that is overpriced. When you activate the app on my 6s plus, the image is off centre and not full screen. Then, once you have finished your time lapse and clicked the stop button, a message appears advising that your time-lapse is in your "camrea" roll. If they can't even check the spelling, I wonder how they are with the code? I thought Apple were supposed to check these apps? ### 1/5 — Sadly you can't choose 0 *2016-06-24, version 2.0* This is literally the worst app in the history of apps.😒 when u take a video it says "Saved in your camera roll". That is a GODDAMN LIE!!!🖕🏾 Don't waste your time taking precious videos that won't be saved. All the time and energy I put into my video, and it didn't save. If I could put zero stars I would. Sadly, it's not an option😭. Literally ANY app is better! Do yourself a favor and don't even take the time and storage to download this app. ### 1/5 — disappointed! *2015-08-12, version 2.0* I lost two precious chunks of filmed time thanks to this app. It works only for short clips. Don't know where the limit is, but my first attempt was with 14000 frames (approx one per second if that matters), the second attampt was 11000 frames. When you click the button to stop it is difficult to tell then the program is doing anything (stitching the frames). First time I pressed the home button and went to check in the gallery. There was nothing. I blamed myself for not waiting enough. This could have made a nice clip. In my second attempt I pushed the button to stop and waited a veeeeeery long time (10 minutes at least). Again nothing was saved. This version seems oversimplified compared even to the predecessor ver 1.3 (for ios 7) ### 1/5 — Struggling!! *2015-04-06, version 1.3.2* It won't playback! Maybe it's me but it's not much use if it doesn't show you what you've recorded. It's little different to the camera from the iOS update!! But if anyone knows what's wrong I'm open to suggestion!! ### 1/5 — did not save, or email, or preview -- pure crap *2014-10-20, version 1.3.2* hours of wasted time nothing to show for it no complaints no error messages no interruptions multiple emailings of video all had no video nothing played when requested to preview video NOTHING SAVED ANYWHERE nothing added to film roll only config was: 1 fpm & 1 fps let me know if ever fixed meanwhile, a complete waste of time, at least with these settings ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2014-06-10, version 1.3.2* Tried many times. Just doesn't work. Keeps crashing so I loose everything and no option to save more than one piece if work. Tried time lapse for 5 hours whilst at work and nothing. Screen flashes funny colours and nothing saves. Only good for 2-3 minute projects. Anything bigger and you can forget about it. ### 1/5 — Doesn't save. Waste of time *2014-05-13, version 1.3.2* Filmed a pretty cool wheel build, but it didn't save to the roll. Watched the video once, but went to watch it from my camera roll and it's not there. No settings or permissions option so I don't think I screwed it up. If they update it would be great. Maybe it's an iPhone 5s problem? Used to work perfect on my 4s ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2014-05-04, version 1.3.2* Can’t play back the video…… even tried to email the file and it would not do that…. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2014-02-15, version 1.3.2* Works really well, best one out there! ### 3/5 — Smorya *2014-02-07, version 1.3.2* Not the worst, but not the best ### 4/5 — Abosouleutly great but... *2013-09-26, version 1.3.2* I love this app and it has great potential, only problem is the FPM to the FPS playback ratio. A little help center that say: of u record 24 FPM, you're playback should be ____ FPS. A little place you can refer to for the best output. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No good now *2024-08-06, version 2.0* Had this app years ago it was really good I used it all the time not sure what went wrong but now it’s useless not one of my Timelapse worked and now deleted the app ### 1/5 — It seemed nice and simply but sadly... *2022-09-06, version 2.0* it doesn’t actually work. Video are highly corrupted. Clips seem to be shuffled into some random order. Actions that happen towards the end of the recording appear near the beginning:( ### 1/5 — Didn’t work. *2020-05-22, version 2.0* This app did not work for me, as when I pressed record it kicked me off the app. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2020-04-17, version 2.0* Just crashes when record pressed ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-07-03, version 2.0* Nothing happens, then returns to home screen ### 1/5 — uuuuuhhhhh.... *2018-12-29, version 2.0* What just happened? I open the app and I tried to use the app and no prompt comes up asking for use of my camera. Try to record and NOTHING HAPPENS! I have an iPhone6 with the latest iOS, so I don’t know. HELP! If I get help then this review will possibly change. ### 1/5 — Do not use 😡 *2018-12-24, version 2.0* Don't waste your time with this app. It will take pictures but won't save. ### 1/5 — No options, makes everything look stop-motion *2018-10-16, version 2.0* I would like a time lapse video to look like a video that is sped up. this app makes every video looks like a flickering slideshow, or badly done stop motion movie ### 1/5 — Junk *2018-09-03, version 2.0* It doesn’t keep the sequential order, it looks like a broken strobe light, this app is junk. ### 1/5 — My weeklong time lapse was ruined *2017-10-01, version 2.0* I did a time lapse of some plants growing for a full week and when I Went to view the time lapse, frames were not placed in order in the video. The whole time lapse was jittering around and was completely ruined. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple and works *2022-09-03, version 2.0* Does what it is supposed to do. Light on extra options but at least it works consistently. Main issue is saving video before battery runs out but probably the same with any app. ### 5/5 — It's basic but FREE 😃 *2017-04-20, version 2.0* And...it just work! ### 5/5 — Good Stuff *2016-10-30, version 2.0* Slide a bar to say how many pictures per minute you want, press record. Done. Makes camera noise with each picture which is very handy a times. Just gives you a bit more control over the standard iPhone time-lapse function. ### 5/5 — Perfect Timelapse. *2014-09-03, version 1.3.2* This app acually works. It's makes perfect results. Great app for timelapse. ### 5/5 — Does what I want *2013-11-20, version 1.3.2* App is easy to use, and does what I want. Feature request: allow slower capture rates, eg X frames per hour or even day. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-10-14, version 1.3.2* Really really good does what I needed it for my corse work ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-09-23, version 1.3.2* Awesome. Deserves 5 stars ### 5/5 — This app is astonishing and beautiful *2013-09-22, version 1.3.2* Hi everyone I'm Anna! Don't you think this app is beautiful!

Xxx ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-08-24, version 1.3.2* User friendly and works like it should. ### 5/5 — Absolutely awesome! *2013-06-24, version 1.3.2* This is a dream app, brilliant, thus is what the iPhone is all about! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
