### 5/5 — So many features

*2026-01-20*

I recently got this as a replacement for another time lapse app that decided to revamp their UI after years and totally break it…  heh  and this app, while it has a bit of a learning curve, that’s mostly because there are so many cool little features in it. Easy enough to just do a basic/quick time-lapse, but SO many things to tweak or change or adjust for different effects and customization as you may want. Really feels like a labor of love with this one.  PLUS it’s only two bucks, one time, as I write this. Bless you  lol

**Developer response:** Bless you!  The app was a labor of love. Nearly two years of dev for all of those features. Happy you enjoy it!

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2024-08-10*

I use this App for Rocket Launches, the day and night modes take all the guess work out of the setup. Light painting is awesome too!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! Happy you enjoy the app. Please tag us on social so we can see what you created! ✨📸🚀

### 5/5 — Manicure time lapse!

*2024-04-21*

I am a nail artist and the control this app gives me over the color of my videos makes it easy for me to get the look I want without having my boyfriend edit the videos. He told me to get this and I learned how to make time lapse movies quick. He setup a profile for me to click on and start my video recording.  It’s so easy and I need that because I don’t have time between customers to setup my camera and edit afterward. I upload my time lapses to instagram and it takes seconds with no effort. Natalia

**Developer response:** Thank you! So glad you enjoy it!

### 5/5 — Incredible tech on an iPhone!

*2024-03-30*

This app allows me to instantly create stunning time lapse videos and creative light painting art so easily. It is very simple to use and understand once you explore all the features that are built in. Quite honestly, this is far better than any other pieces of camera hardware out there, I no longer need to worry about file transfers from memory cards and laptops! This app is super efficient and runs smoothly, with very low processing and battery consumption. You can see the iPhone stats in the app when you complete a session. Overall, this new app is a game changer, and such a great value for how many really features are packed into it! A must have for content creators and time lapse enthusiasts. Kudos to the developer(s) who made this phenomenal app!

**Developer response:** Thank you! Working very hard on it, will only get bettter!
