## Description

Just snap 3 photos, add some fun cartoons and captions, and let Nutshell turn it all into a cool, shareable mini-movie that tells your story in seconds.  

"Essentially, it’s a way of injecting motion into photos taken on your phone."
-- TechCrunch

Nutshell Camera does for video what Instagram does for photos—puts the power of visual creativity in your hands with nothing more than your phone. Except here’s the cool part: You never actually have to shoot a video. 

Simply take three snaps of anything at all; Nutshell automagically creates a video with these three images as the beginning, middle, and end of your film. (In technical terms, they’re called “keyframes,” but you won’t need to know that because Nutshell makes it all so easy.) 

Finally, just add your own text and choose from our library of animated cartoons to embellish your three photos and BAM! You’ve created a fun little movie you can share via social media, email, or messaging. Now, that’s entertainment! 

Featured among Apple’s Best New Apps in February & March 2015.

## Review summary

Users love the simple three-photo workflow and the way text/graphics move with the video, making short, social-friendly clips. But stability issues, camera permission problems on iOS, lack of updates and support, watermark, and missing features like camera-roll import and music options heavily color opinions toward caution.

### Pros

- Very easy to use: you create a short clip by taking three pictures.
- Motion between photos with text/graphics that feel integrated.
- Short, shareable clips perfect for social media.
- Creative and engaging; good for marketing and event recaps.
- The output quality and concept are fun and appealing.

### Cons

- Crashes and stability problems; app frequently crashes or won’t open.
- Camera access/permission issues on iOS; cannot enable camera (device compatibility).
- No updates for years; seems abandoned; limited support (App Support link broken).
- Watermark is intrusive and cannot be removed without paying.
- Misses features: cannot import from camera roll; wants more text options, more stickers, and background music/tools.
