User Reviews

After 1 week of tweaking this app, I am still unable to get it to work as intended. It only takes pictures at the interval time set by the user. This app was supposed to take pictures when it detects motion. It does not do that at all for me. It failed BIG TIME. I don't know how it got a 4.4 rating when it does not take pictures when it detects motion on Android 11. You will have 500+ pictures and it will drain your battery. Based on other reviews since 2015, this could be an abandoned app.

Great app.. Works exactly as described including in background. I tried several other apps for this and they all had issues. The UI is very intuitive. I use this to start my Tasker built picture displayer on my Pixel C tablet. It's Tasker integration with the notification (intent) was well documented within the app.
