User Reviews

iStopMotion is praised for its remote camera support and general usefulness, and some users express strong, positive sentiment. However, it suffers from frequent crashes, unreliable saves/shares, and price concerns, especially on older devices and OS versions. Missing editing features and startup issues further impact reliability. Overall, the app shows potential, but reliability and value issues limit widespread appeal.

Pros

Remote camera function / compatibility with external cameras
Generally useful and functional for stop-motion creation
Positive overall sentiment across multiple reviews (great/amazing tone)
Audio support / works with sound

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues across iPadOS/iOS and devices
Unreliable saving/exporting to Photos and sharing to other apps
Price/value concerns (perceived as overpriced)
Compatibility issues on older devices/OS versions (older iPads, iOS 12) leading to unusable experiences
Missing essential editing features (undo/redo, frame reordering/inserting; linear workflow)

Recent reviews

Since updating to iOS 26, after sharing via airdrop to an unknown device or via email, the app’s UI shifts upwards, requiring a total restart of the app to reset. We depend on this app for our curriculum, and this had made it difficult to use. Not sure if updates are still being made, but we would appreciate this being looked at!
