## Description

Intervalometer for TimeLapse is a versatile automation tool designed to elevate your time-lapse photography. It triggers the camera shutter at user-defined intervals across any camera app on Android 7 or higher, enabling full control over time-lapse configurations such as delay timer, interval time, and number of shots.

Unlike standard smartphone time-lapse modes, Intervalometer supports advanced features including bulb mode and infinite shooting, and works seamlessly with dedicated camera remote apps from brands like Canon, Sony, and Nikon. Capture complex scenes like low-light, HDR, milky way star trails, and even light painting time-lapses. Beyond time-lapse, it aids in image stacking workflows to enhance photo quality, providing photographers with broad creative possibilities without acting as a camera or image processing app itself.

## Review summary

Users appreciate that the app allows interval shooting using the native camera app, enabling high-quality time-lapses and working well with long exposure photography. However, many report serious issues such as app instability leading to lost photos, incomplete image capture, unclear and extensive permissions, poor customer support, and confusing pricing due to multiple necessary in-app purchases. While functional for some, these problems severely impact reliability and user satisfaction.

### Pros

- Effectively triggers the shutter button for interval photography, enabling time-lapse creation.
- Allows usage of the native phone camera app for better picture quality compared to third-party apps.
- Works well when the interval time is set longer than the exposure time, especially for long exposure astrophotography.
- Simple to use with a one-click shutter control, making it convenient for various photography projects.
- Can be used with external cameras and remote shooting setups, enhancing flexibility for users.

### Cons

- Requires extensive permissions, including accessibility and overlay permissions, which are not clearly explained in the app description.
- App instability and crashes can cause loss of hours of captured photos, especially during long shoots like astrophotography.
- Issues with image capture where some shots are black, corrupted, or fewer than the set number of images are taken.
- Inconsistent or no responsiveness from developer support, with multiple users reporting unanswered emails regarding problems.
- Additional essential features require multiple in-app purchases, making the full functionality costly and confusing, with poor upfront disclosure of pricing.
