This is a video app that allows you to take super-time-lapse photos. It takes videos of phenomena that move only a few centimeters over the course of a few hours, and plays them back in a compressed time format. You can also store images in iCloud Drive every time you take a photo if you specify. * iCloud Drive must be turned on in order to share content in iCloud Drive. * When taking landscape photos, be sure to disable the display rotation lock. It has the following features: - You can check the composition on the preview screen before starting shooting. - Shoots at regular intervals. The shooting interval can be specified in 5-second increments from 5 seconds to 24 hours 59 minutes 55 seconds. - Shooting time can be specified in 5-second increments from 5 seconds to 998 hours 59 minutes 55 seconds. (About 41 days) - You can specify the start time and shooting time. - After shooting starts, the time until the start time is counted down. During this time, the camera will not start and battery consumption will be reduced. - If the start time is past the current time, shooting will start from the current time. - You can specify auto focus (AF) and auto exposure (AE). (If the camera supports it) - The frame rate and playback time are automatically set by setting the playback magnification (1x to 300x). - Video quality can be specified in three levels: high, medium, and low. The following resolutions will be used depending on the device. Models capable of 4K video recording: 3264 x 2448, 1280 x 720, 640 x 480 iPhone 6 and later: 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720, 640 x 480 - Whether the video is portrait or landscape will depend on the orientation of the device. - Photos taken can be stored in iCloud Drive (when specified). - Each photo taken is made into a thumbnail and pasted on the screen. - A countdown is displayed until the next shutter release. - The number of shots taken is counted up as the number of video frames. - When you exit, the images you have taken are converted to video and saved in the app and in the camera roll. - Videos in the app are overwritten each time. - Videos in the app can be played. [Note] - We cannot guarantee that images will be taken at the specified time under any circumstances. - If the time limit for sending emails or autofocusing is exceeded, images may not be taken. - We cannot compensate customers for any damages for any reason.

About

Low Quality Camera

Read full description

A camera that shoots at deliberately low resolution. Phone cameras get better every year: one photo can take several megabytes, and a minute of video can pass 100 MB. This app does the opposite. It shoots small and rough from the start - for the times you would rather not spend the storage, and for people who simply like the way rough pictures look. ■ Just pick one of five sizes 96x128 / 144x192 / 240x320 / 480x640 / 720x960. They sit right above the viewfinder, so you can switch a second before you shoot. Rough guide per photo / per minute of video: ・96x128 - about 3 KB / 0.9 MB ・144x192 - about 5 KB / 1.5 MB ・240x320 - about 12 KB / 3.0 MB ・480x640 - about 45 KB / 9.0 MB ・720x960 - about 110 KB / 18.8 MB ■ What you see is what gets saved The viewfinder shows the frame already scaled down and already compressed, exactly as it will be stored. Press the shutter and that same image is written to your gallery. Nothing ever turns out rougher or cleaner than it looked. ■ Video at the same size Switch between photo and video and record with the same roughness. Allow the microphone and the sound is recorded; refuse it and the video is simply silent. ■ Four looks Original / Toy camera / Old digicam / Faded. Original is the default, so if you are only here to save space, nothing is added to your pictures. Toy camera boosts the colors and darkens the corners, Old digicam has the cool cast of an early 2000s compact, and Faded looks like a yellowed old print. ■ Straight into your photo library Photos and videos are saved straight to your photo library, ready to attach to an email or a chat. No account, no upload. ■ The shutter sound can be muted Turn it off in the settings. Good for ・Keeping free space on your phone and in the cloud ・Records that only need to exist, not to look good ・Sending something without using much data ・Anyone who likes the feel of rough photos and video ・Shooting like an old phone or an early digital camera This app is for taking pictures, not for shrinking ones you already have: it cannot import existing photos or videos. The frame is a fixed 3:4 portrait, and there is no zoom, flash or timer. The roughness is the soft look of a small image stretched out, not the hard squares of a pixel art filter.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Low Quality Camera at Free against Super long time's $0.99. Super long time's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
