Features & Capabilities

Updated for the new iOS and some basic bug fixes!

Create time lapse videos that span days, weeks, or even years without special hardware or leaving your phone in the same spot.

Not just your iPhone, but anybody standing in the right spot can add a picture to the TimeLens. Geolocation, Footprints, and HoverMode make it easy to align the pictures.

Features: • Scan any part of the globe to reveal TimeLenses using TimeLens Explorer • Easy and intuitive alignment: HoverMode superimposes a pic in the TimeLens over your shot • Get in the right spot with Footprint: a picture of where you stood when you started the TimeLens • Use the self-timer and a tripod to get everbody in the TimeLens. Long-press the shutter button to activate. • Create private TimeLenses that are only visible by you • Create viewable TimeLenses that people can see, but only you know the location • Dynamically adjust the speed of the TimeLens playback • Overlay and compare two pictures with SideSwipe • Long press rows to change the HoverMode pic, select pics for SideSwipe, rename or delete TimeLenses, or delete pictures • Export a TimeLens to your camera roll and share it on Facebook, YouTube, etc • Export before-and-after pictures, SplitPics (half pic A and half pic B), and GridPics (4 pics of your choice) • Send a deep link to your friend directly from the app. They will open your TimeLens with one tap. • Offline mode: create TimeLens and add to existing ones even when you don't have internet access. The app will sync your pictures after you go online again.

This is definitely good for people who want to take photos of something and mash them together. However, it won’t let you upload your other pictures in your camera roll and there is no camera switch option. That was something I wanted to use.

Good interface, great idea, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get back to a project I’ve already started! Which defeats the whole point of the app ☹️ UPDATE 5/2020: Gave this app another try after coming across an awesome picture from the 1800’s of a building nearby. Unfortunately, while I can import the picture from my saved photos (a feature other apps lack) I cannot edit the GPS points for it upon upload, and, because I still can’t edit existing projects that I started (Error says you can only edit your own TimeLens... even when it IS mine!) I can’t update the coordinates once I have the benefit of Hovermode to help me figure out the exact location the photo was taken from. Super bummed, yet again.

This app requires you to provide GPS access even though you start a project that clearly says private GPS (home project). You can’t progress pass the provide access prompt. It also stores the images on their server. Not your phone, then is cheeky enough to ask for $1 to cover the cost of storing larger HD photos. Really? My phone can hold THOUSANDS. No cost to me. Don’t waste your time.
