Speed up or slow down sections of video with FREE saving and NO WATERMARK! Supports portrait or landscape operation (on iPad), corrected audio pitch and unrestricted video length. Here's what our users are saying: Most Amazing App Ever! "This app NEEDS to be given more than five stars. The app is incredibly easy to use and it's easy to slow down or speed up sections of my videos. I've spent actual money on several other apps and those just do not compare to this one at all. After searching so long for an app with slow motion capabilities, I've finally found this amazing one and I'll never switch." by @KillerKitten77 - United States - Feb 15, 2016 Great App! "It's hard to find a no-strings-attached app that allows you to fast forward your videos. I downloaded 7 other apps before downloading this one, and man am I glad I found this one!" by Amy617394846 - United States - Dec 30, 2015 Stupendously Awesome!!!! "This app is fantastic. Does exactly what it said it does. Simple, very easy to use and well made overall. Gets straight to the point and the ads aren't even irritating at all! And it allows you to speed it up and slow it down at random parts.

Your camera roll is secretly a travel journal. Every photo you take quietly remembers where you were standing. PicMap gathers those memories and draws your day on a map — the ferry you caught, the coast you wandered, the pub you ended up in — all from photos you've already taken. No location tracking. No accounts. Nothing ever leaves your device. THE STORY OF YOUR DAY Open PicMap and today appears as a journey: a soft colour-coded trail that begins in morning blue and deepens to evening indigo, connecting your photos in the order you took them. Busy days stay tidy — photos taken close together gather into a single pin with a little count badge. Drag the timeline to relive the day one photo at a time. The map travels with you, gliding to wherever each shot was taken. Tap any pin for the full photo, the exact time, and the precise spot on Earth where you stood. Then spin the date picker back — to last weekend, to last summer, to that trip you half remember — and watch a day you'd forgotten redraw itself. EVERYTHING PICMAP CAN DO - Your daily route as a curved, colour-coded trail - Timeline scrubber — scroll through the day photo by photo - Smart clustering keeps even the busiest day readable - Full-resolution photo view with time, coordinates and a share button - Calendar day picker — jump to any day in your library - Built for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass throughout PRIVATE, PROPERLY PicMap makes zero network requests — ever. No analytics, no telemetry, no cloud sync, no sign-in. It reads the location your photos already carry, does everything on your device, and forgets it all the moment you close the app. PicMap never asks for your location. It never needs it. FREE TO WANDER Browse your last 7 days free. Unlock your entire photo history — every day you've ever photographed — for a one-time 99p (or local equivalent). No subscription, no recurring charges. Yours for good.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PicMap at none against Slow's shown. Slow's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
