## Review summary

Reviewers praise the app's smooth tilt-shift time-lapse and quality when it works, but many reports describe it failing on newer iOS versions with black screens, camera/privacy permission problems, and lack of updates. Purchase issues (forced Pro prompts, restore problems) and crashes further mar usability. Overall, a once-popular, high-quality tool that now suffers from maintenance and compatibility issues, leading users to seek alternatives.

- Regarded as the go-to/best tilt-shift time-lapse app and has evolved over the years
- Produces results that people enjoy watching
- Has been a great cam for tilt-shift shots
- Long-standing favorite when it works well

### Cons

- Persistent black screen or camera access failures across iOS versions; issues saving to Photos; privacy settings problems
- Appears to have no recent updates or active support; app seems abandoned
- Forced Pro upgrade prompts and difficulty restoring purchases; purchase issues
- Crashes/instability and frequent force quits; difficulty exiting the app
- Inability to load images or connect to camera/Photos due to privacy settings not functioning or not appearing
