## Review summary

User reviews show a split: many praise TimeLapse - Free for its deep settings, ease of use, and overall timelapse capabilities, often calling it among the best. However, there are recurrent reliability problems: crashes during capture or editing, export/output issues (short video length, black/green videos, or inability to export), plus saving glitches and post-update feature removals with weak support. The app is powerful and feature-rich but inconsistent across versions, leading to frustration for users depending on stable performance.

### Pros

- Easy to use and straightforward interface; repeatedly praised as among the best timelapse apps.
- Strong overall feature depth and versatility for creating timelapse videos.
- When it works, it delivers strong performance thanks to extensive settings.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and stability issues across updates.
- Export failures or inability to export final videos; videos can be black, green, or limited to very short lengths.
- Updates/change in paid/free features and poor support; features removed or not working as promised.
- Saving problems, including projects not saving and videos not appearing in the gallery.
- Lack of clear instructions and sometimes confusing UI.
