Very helpful for shoot planning.. (Alot easier than doing the math yourself!) ### 5/5 — Excellent tool *2014-03-18, version 1.2* Perfect app to calculate frame rates, times and lenght of video...nothing excessively fancy...clean interface and calculations are auto updated. Perfect timelapse tool, thank you ### 5/5 — Timelapse helper review *2012-11-10, version 1.0* Simple, accurate, exactly what I was after. Thanks Simon! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2012-09-09, version 0.2* Exactly what I needed. ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2012-08-24, version 0.2* Perfect for calculating exact times of shooting and playback in any conceivable format. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2012-06-02, version 0.2* Great for calculating digits needed for timelapse ### 5/5 — Neat app *2012-05-24, version 0.2* This app is perfect for calculating timelapse's length! ### 5/5 — Best timelapse tool out there! *2012-05-21, version 0.2* And it's FREE! ### 5/5 — Simple and Effective = perfect! *2012-05-13, version 0.2* I need say anymore! It just does the job no nonsense. Perfect! ### 5/5 — What more do you want? *2012-01-09, version 0.2* Works front to back and back to front to help figure out your timelapse maths. You can input any number of combinations; second intervals, number of shots needed, frames per second, how long you'll be shooting for and then how long your footage will end up once it's on the timeline. Chuffin' bootiful. ### 5/5 — Timelapse *2011-12-02, version 0.2* Very nice apps and real easy to use, calculator is missing exposure leigh, witch can change alot when calculating the time needed to produce timelapse ( shooting time). Still is a must to have. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Helpful Timelapse Tool! *2011-11-10, version 0.1* This is a simple, helpful, and free app. I'm grateful to the developer! As mentioned by other reviewers, it would be great if you could lock down the parameters so you can more-easily calculate specific timelapse settings. It also would be neat to have a saved settings drawer. I understand it is a free app, though. I would be willing to pay $0.99 for a "pro" app upgrade that has these two extra features. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2015-09-18, version 1.3* Does not allow you to view the changes that you make to the time lapse data. Useless. ### 2/5 — Very limited functions, and fussy *2021-11-10, version 1.3* This app is useless if you want to calculate how many shots per time unit. Works great the other way around though, ie you plug in the interval and number of shots and it tells you length of clip at various frame rates. Wish it was more user friendly. ### 2/5 — Freeze *2021-05-08, version 1.3* It works but when I check to see the interval, or share by mail, text... it freezes. (Iphone 8+) ### 2/5 — Awful app *2016-03-05, version 1.3* Awkward to use and the keyboard just stays open! ### 2/5 — Useless *2015-10-14, version 1.3* Does not let you control the variables in a way that makes any sense. ### 2/5 — backwards *2013-06-01, version 1.1* does the opposite of what most people want. timelapsical is what most of ou are looking for ### 2/5 — Doesn't work as expected *2011-08-21, version 0.1* I understand it is free, and the calculations are correct, but 90% of the time I am aiming for a target length of recording and playback combo, and trying to calculate the interval and # of frames. This program won't let you lock a parameter so when I change a dial it changes the wrong parameter to compensate. ### 4/5 — What I wanted *2016-11-08, version 1.3* Took a few minutes to work out how to use the app, but once I did it's perfect. Thanks for the app. Tip, to close the keypad touch top of screen. ### 4/5 — Much better than Careater version *2015-04-30, version 1.3* Works well and it's free ### 4/5 — Great timelapse calc *2011-05-17, version 0.1* Does what you expect- you can change general parameters of a timelapse shot calculation and the other numbers adjust in response. works great. Could use some memory slots for different calculations, but that's just gravy. It's free! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Everything is there *2024-12-22, version 1.3* The app does lack features and is basic, but it gets the job done perfectly ### 5/5 — Most intuitive time-lapse calculator available *2021-03-25, version 1.3* I’ve been watching lots of videos about time lapse intervals and non could clarify as well as this app. The most handy and inevitable app for time lapse calculation. Many Thank to developers! ### 5/5 — It works and easy to use *2019-07-23, version 1.3* I can do the math, but this is so easy. No excuse to give less than five stars. ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2019-06-22, version 1.3* Perfect App, did just what I wanted to do, it 1 thing on google came close and this saved me time. :) ### 5/5 — Starlapse *2018-08-19, version 1.3* Trying to figure out the math behind my starlapse at 1:30 am was no fun. Found this app, helped me in 5 seconds. Worth the 5 star review. “Hmm. How long will I need to keep this going to give me an 8 second clip vs. a 10 second clip?” Instant results. Put it my interval (shutter+noise reduction time), how long of a clip I want, and bam.. exactly how long it’s going to take. ### 5/5 — KB *2018-04-20, version 1.3* Excellent app! Light and functional! Does everything I need. ### 5/5 — Perfect fir keeping my workflow fast and efficient *2018-02-26, version 1.3* I don’t know what these negative reviewers are blabbing on about. It’s exactly what it’s supposed to be - a simple, fast time-lapse field calculator that is both free and without annoying ads. If someone wants a bigger app, they should go buy a bigger app. Now I can spend a little less time fiddling with the calculator on my phone and more time paying attention to my cameras and changing conditions for fewer lost opportunities. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-04-05, version 1.3* It tells you pretty accurately how long it will be in real time when you play it back. Huge thumbs up! 🙂👍 ### 5/5 — TH *2016-06-18, version 1.3* Great. Thanks. Sincerely, Peter ### 5/5 — Great timelapse calculator *2015-04-05, version 1.3* It does just what it says with a clean interface. It took a second or two to grok it, but now I love how quick it is for me to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
