ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hyperlapse holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lapse It has 1.1K ratings behind it against 96, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Lapse It's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hyperlapse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lapse It ships an update every 2 weeks, Hyperlapse fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
