With more than a dozen effects to experiment with, Time Warp takes your live video and slices and dices it, then recombines it into a new video with a little bit from here, a little from there, a little from now, and a little from before. Time and space get a little squishy for some creative, weird, sometimes unpredictable effects. As you experiment, snap photos and take videos to share with your friends. We were Time Warping long before Tik Tok made it famous, and we've got a ton of different twists on time-based video tweaking. Of course, we've got the "blue line" effect (though ours is gold, lol), but we've got so much more than that. A few things to try: - Hold the camera still while you take a selfie... contort your face and watch as it melts in the Time Warp fun-house mirror. - Place the camera on a table, so the background stands still, then dance around a little for the camera. It. Is. Weird. - Pinch, swipe, and twiddle all the controls in settings. It'll glitch like mad... but you know, in a good way! After you've created some cool video or photos, share it to Instagram, using the hashtag #madewithtimewarp and tag us! We want to see the weird stuff you create!

Der Slider hat übrigens für jeden Effekttyp eine andere Funktion. Die App macht schon Laune. Es muss also nicht unbedingt Glitché ins Haus, welches ja auch heftig teuer ist. ### 5/5 — So good! *2025-05-17, version 5.1* I haven't gotten an ad yet it's really good using warp ### 5/5 — I like it like zero ads👍👍👍😁😁😊 *2023-08-07, version 5.0.1* It’s a pretty good game ### 1/5 — GauvugvagvusuyvsvguxvgysftuaiuahlMknlzlinskunsuyvaguya *2023-06-28, version 5.0.1* Wgywguysugysuvgvgusguyugabhuauojaljjjnkxkjnjhxbuygsyufautafctysvyxuhxio ### 5/5 — Time Warp Scan Effects *2023-04-12* Most Likely The Same Effects! ### 3/5 — Read if your going to download *2023-03-31* You don't need to pay for it and it is a no internet app it's fun and it will keep you distracted for a while and it's fun to do twitch friends so I recommend getting it but you may not use it that much but it's fun and there are other filters and they are fun you need to pay for to put a picture but it's overall fun and you get a sec to see the thing you madrbwith the filter and if ur quick enough you can take a screen shot to keep the picture on ur phone so this app is fun and yes I DO RECOMMEND. ### 5/5 — LOVE❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💞 *2023-01-05* These filters are sooo funny🤣🤣🤣🤣 download it now and my older brother loves it. Want to download it answers here. 👇. Yes. No ### 5/5 — o h n o m y f a c e *2022-12-08* what da heck happened to me face??? ### 4/5 — Good but a few problems *2022-12-07* I do enjoy this app but it isn’t completely free. You have to pay to actually record anything and on the time warp scan effect, if you accidentally close the app or on purpose close the app, it makes a black line on the picture ### 1/5 — No!!! *2022-12-04, version 4.1.1* I can’t play it because it gitch me out of the game ## Frequently asked questions about Time Warp ### What does Time Warp do?
