Don’t Bother
The app hasn’t been updated in years, and the interface feels very dated. There’s no guidance and the layout isn’t intuitive. I’ve used free apps that work better. Unfortunately, it just isn’t worth the dollar.
Worthless on iPad
IPad compatibility was promised three years ago, still not there.
Boooo!
Boooo!
One Star when you ask for a rating right away
Ask for stars before a user even get his or her feet wet, well sure. I give it a one!
Limitless use!
Loving making star trails and recording airplane paths at night. Only limit is your battery. Plug in outlet outside and unlimited recording becomes reality!
Won’t save
Can’t make it save to the app
Not working on the iPad
I just downloaded and payed for it. It does not work at all. Bummed.
How do you take a photo?
No button to snap photo! Useless!
does not work on iPad
useless
Finally one that works
All I’ve been looking for is an app that does great light trails. Other apps have had WEAK results but this one is killer. My only complaint is that the UI has absolutely no walkthrough and no instructions. So I had to fiddle for a while to see what the heck the unlabeled sliders and controls do. Other than that, amazing.
Misleading
This app is advertised as a “long exposure camera”, which is false. It mimics a long exposure camera by taking a large quantity of photos and layering them over each other, thus mimicking a long exposure effect. It does not let the sensor take in more light as an actual long exposure would. This app will still work for the effects advertised, it just isn’t a legitimate long exposure. They got me in the description though by saying “long exposure effect”, instead of long exposure, so I can’t be too critical lol.
No instructions
I cannot find the instructions for use on my iPad.
Also, it says “No Modes” when I press the Modes button.

Reverse image
Just got it. Was frustrated that I couldn’t turn the camera around. Pointing towards me. I like to play with self photos for profile pics etc.
