### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2023-05-08, version 6.2.6*

App is awful do not buy

### 1/5 — 無法觀看影片

*2023-04-20, version 6.2.6*

在TimeLapse Movie Library裡面無法播放影片，打開影片後沒有任何選單或按鈕可以操作，畫面就停在圖片一樣，也無法跳出。

### 3/5 — It needs to be updated to work with iOS 15

*2023-02-12, version 6.2.6*

I’ve had this app for a decade. The recorder seems to work until it’s time to save the video. It doesn’t save anything. Too bad.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2021-03-16, version 6.2.6*

This app literally doesn’t work. I spent $5 on it and I absolutely can’t do anything. I can’t even load photos on it, they just turn black and freeze. You also can’t report anything to the devs.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 8

*2020-12-27, version 6.2.6*

Black screen when trying to play back any recorded video, have to force close the app.

### 1/5 — Anyone home?

*2020-12-05, version 6.2.6*

This was my go-to app for timelapse even after the iPhone had it natively, but tried to use recently with buggy results. The app seems to be not updated and not any new info on developer site. Sad.

### 3/5 — Issues with varying light intensity

*2020-08-01, version 6.2.6*

The app does not adjust itself to varying light intensity. If you start the recording in a dark room and the light is turned on, you will go from black to white and get nothing.

Other than that, it works well.

### 4/5 — Does not support ultra wide camera

*2020-04-18, version 6.2.6*

Too old app for an iPhone 11 Pro. Good for other features

### 1/5 — Sistematela o toglietela dallo store e ridatemi i soldi...

*2020-02-14, version 6.2.6*

Presa anni fa e funzionava bene, unico “difetto” (vedi mia vecchia recensione) era relativo al savataggio.
Rimessa in questi giorni su iphone 7 e comprata anche per ipad pro e mi accorgo che ha un sacco di bachi. Spesso i filmati non vengono creati, nella libreria dopo aver fatto il lapse ti ritrovi con un album con un punto di domanda, quei pochi che vanno a buon fine se ci clicchi sopra non te lo fa vedere, quindi in esitor e altro non riesci a fare nulla.
Insomma, sono passati anni e dovete aggiornarla per il nuovo ios, c’è qualcosa che non va.

### 3/5 — 如何导出视频？

*2019-08-03*

功能还是不错的，但是有几个问题急需开发者解决：
1、双摄手机没办法调用长焦摄像头；
2、拍摄时选择了保存了照片和视频，但是视频似乎没办法导出到手机，而且照片导出的时候有时候会中断；
3、在选择照片，视频，文件夹的时候一定要一个个点，非常不方便。
请开发者尽快解决！
