IMotion for Negative User Reviews

Works but has its limitationsThe core functionality is good but it will only record square aspect ratios in portrait mode, which limits its suitability for recording for apps like TikTok. It’ll do full screen landscape, but not portrait. It plays the noise of a shutter clicking on every frame during recording. This is annoying to listen to over a long period, but more importantly it means you can’t use the phone to listen to podcasts or music while the time lapse is recording. There doesn’t seem to be any way to stop that. This ended up being the deal breaker for me, I wanted to be able to carry on listening to my stuff while long time lapses were being recorded. However, if you don’t care about it hogging the audio out, and you don’t need full screen portrait video, then it’s pretty good. The free version can do a lot and the upgrade to the full version is a cheap one-off payment, which was refreshing to see..Version: 6.1.1

Not workingAt first I thought this all was amazing but I was working on a school project and I had just finally added the perfect voice over and the app kicked me off like it will let me into the app and it shows that my video is there but as soon as I click on my video And it sends me back to my phones home screen. I tried to delete a bunch of my apps to maybe make it work but it still didn’t work. Does anyone have any advise.Version: 5.0.2

BruhIT TAKES PICTURES ITSELF.Version: 6.0.2

This app is great but...I love this app but there are a couple of annoying things that are really bugging me. The first one which happened is you aren’t allowed to add more than 100 photos which is really annoying because you may be like me and that is to make long animations. The second thing is you were allowed to voice over it until recently. It first went downhill about 8 months ago and I really want it to change. So in conclusion I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who likes to make long movies or people who like to voiceover. Thanks for reading. 😉 :>.Version: 5.0

Its okI used this app before and I liked it but I tried to use it again and every time I upload photos it shows half of them but the other half is just black..Version: 5.0.2

Honest opinionI had a veryyyyyy hard time with it it made my photos black and the it would only show like 3 actual photos so whatever the issue could you please fix I don’t know if it was that I had over than 200 photos so I would like to try it without at least 200 photos so I would try it out thanks for stopping by! Ok I am back so I tried it with 3 photos still pitch Place idk if I’m doing something wrong! Pls could could you try fixing this thank you for taking a moment to look at this have a nice day or evening.Version: 5.0.2

Voiceover not allowedI can’t do voice over so I can’t use this app it’s just a waste of gigabytes on my iPad.Version: 5.0.2

Needs some tweakingIt looked like a good app, so I downloaded it, but I had to delete my other stop motion app to do so. I thought sacrificing my old movies would be worth it so I got this app. Turns out I don’t think this app was worth it. You can’t zoom in with the camera, which I couldn’t be without due to my small subjects or a small background. I thought this app would be worth it, but I basically just deleted my old movies for nothing. So if anyone doesn’t have sufficient room and needs to be able to zoom in to fill up empty space, don’t get this app. If you don’t mind, you’re fine, but this app really isn’t anything special. Developers, please add in zooming in. It would be brilliant..Version: 5.0.7

A super bad gameI would say it's the worst stop motion game..Version: 3.1.2

HorribleThis game is horrible I hate it so much I put all day to make a movie but it there was the start and clipped to the end I hate this never play it.Version: 5.0.2

ImationHate it.Version: 2.1.1

FalseUnreal and not at all free payment is needed for some qualities in this app which can include and go up to £5 I do not recommend getting this application.Version: 4.1.1

Pretty good appI would recommend using stop motion studio instead, as you can add sound for free and view the video while still in the process of making it, allowing you to view exactly what you have so far. Decent app overall though..Version: 6.1

No featureBarely has any feature.Version: 5.0.4

Black imagesSo I bought this app to do a time lapse video of my pool install. After getting all the pictures on my phone and uploaded to this app, every single one in the playback was black. I had 78 pictures and watched as it counted all 78 pictures without displaying one of the 78. Just all black slides. All of these pictures were screenshots so not sure if that has anything to do with it but I passed by 5 other apps before getting this one definitely shouldn’t have stopped when I did. Tried to email app support but apparently that isn’t a thing for these guys..Version: 5.0.4

Meh, horribleI don’t like this because all my videos were spoiled. That was because iMotion switched the order of my frames. Also it’s controls are hard to use. 0 directions,or help. Also it blanks out in the middle of my film. This is horrible. Please change and update this app..Version: 5.0

BugsI just did a purchase for the full app so we can import already taken pictures. This was disappointing as it cropped the images which cut out important details. Also, anytime you go to tools and go back, the app shrinks the window making the app basically unusable. I really would appreciate it being fixed or a refund. This was not what I was expecting..Version: 5.0.8

MehI like the app itself, but one problem that completely ruins it all for me is it messes up the order of my frames, and many of my stopmotions have been spoiled because of this. Please fix this, and I would make it 5 stars, but this just ruins it all. I have spent 3 hours of time on stopmotions that end up mismatched, and I don’t want to waste more time. Thank you!.Version: 5.0

Good program, but some SERIOUS ISSUESOk, so I made this complex whiteboard animation that I was super proud of. It had a lot of frames and I was really looking forward to watching it. It brought my into display, and the screen instantly went black. The frames were going, but I couldn’t see my animation! I was really upset and tried everything to fix it, but nothing worked!! YOU NEED TO FIX THIS!! Other than that, the program is ok for short animations..Version: 4.1.1

Unable to save to camera rollI have made lots of movies using this app but every time i tap 'save to photo library' and it finishes it's not in my photo library when i check it. Please fix this bug because i want to be able to send my movies to my friends but i cant if they aren't in my photo library. Otherwise this is a great stop motion app for beginners to use.Version: 1.2.5

SEEMS like a great appBut I wouldn't know as I can't export. Therefore it is useless. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. Thanks..Version: 2.2.6

Can’t select multiple picture to importSadly this failed atthe first hurdle. I wanted to import a folder of 400 pictures to create my Timelapse and found that i would have to tap individually on all the picture. 400 taps, really? No one thought to put in a select all option???? I really haven’t got time for that shizzle. Time to look for a different app.Version: 6.2.2

Cant see all my pics in galleryI’m trying to make a “flip book” of pics. How can I see more pics in my albums, and why can’t I see all of my albums?.Version: 4.1.1

Subscribe to Masterbuilder1Ok let me just say that first of all, I haven’t even figured out how to delete a video you made. And second there is no way to even control the camera, the pictures or pretty much all of that stuff. My overall opinion is that this app is way to difficult and hard to understand and get used to..Version: 5.0.7

Export Not WorkingUsed to love this app but since the last update, every time I finish a time-lapse and export to my camera roll on my iPhone 5s I get an error and it won't save it. Not much good if the only way I can view my finished product is in the app itself. Please fix this issue..Version: 2.2.6

AwesomeThis app was fun to use in Canada with all of our snow we get here!.Version: 5.0.2

Disappointed. Very disappointed.I'm getting really sick and tired of people calling their apps free when they're really not. Please be honest with your customers. You have a great product here. If you charged $1.99 for your app up front, I would've had no problem buying it. But because you were dishonest, posting it as free and then not even letting me export my movie without making the in app "upgrade" of $1.99, I'm going to buy Time lapse Pro instead. At least they're honest about their price from the get go..Version: 1.0.2

GREAT BUTThis app is great but can you make everything free. It would be better to a lot of people..Version: 5.0.4

Do not pay for pro featureWanted to stitch some photos from my library together to make a time lapse. So bought the pro version to access this feature. However when I paid for it the app only gave me a selection of 14 photos (I have over 15,000 photos on my phone) from my phone library, none of which are the photos I wanted to use. Very disappointed..Version: 4.1.1

No ability to import entire albums?This app seems to have everything I need except the ability to import entire albums. I’m trying to import hundreds of stills and I don’t want to have to select each image individually. Am I missing something?.Version: 5.0

New to appThis app isn’t very user friendly!.Version: 4.1.1

False advertising - can’t import images from the appUpgraded to the paid app to be able to import images from my iPhone. The import button is there and it doesn’t work. The app doesn’t have a chat button or help section either.Version: 5.0.7

It but 💤💤👇🏽👀💪🏽💅🏽👍🏾🐼👢🐯I love it but took 1 hour to make a 4 sec video because it breens me to home screen.Version: 2.4.2

It’s okThe thing hate most about iMotion is that most of the features you have to buy but I kinda like it otherwise.Version: 5.0.7

LolizIs lagging bro.Version: 5.0.7

Deleted my photos/videosSo I am a stop motion animator and I wanted to change from stop motion and I watched a vid saying this app was good I got it and it was fine at first then it lagged and my pictures are black then it worked again then the camera on my iPad did not allow the app and my other apps then it restarted my iPad then did some more pictures then my pictures and videos got deleted without me knowing I am so sad cause I lost a snapchat log in and a insta log in I am so sad 😭😭😭😭.Version: 5.0.2

TrashThis app is actually garbage.Version: 5.0

Waste of moneyI paid for the full version so I could upload photos from my library. It was a complete waste of money as the app is just riddled with bugs and crashes regularly. Couldn’t recommend less..Version: 5.0.7

BrokenI used this app for a while with no problem - so I didn’t hesitate to spend 5 hours doing a time lapse embroidery. Watching it back the screen goes black after a 30 seconds or so and it won’t export anyway. 5 hours of really hard work down the toilet. Very disappointed..Version: 5.0.7

Worst app everI was trying to make a stop motion video but every time I would make a little progress the whole app would stop working. The pause/resume button would break and it would just continue the video no matter how many times I pressed the button. The time-lapse would not stop and the images would keep going at lightning speed. I was not able to use this app at all..Version: 6.0.2

So Hard To Use…and I’s Black!Could you make it a little easier to use and a bit more colourful!!!!!????? Coz right now it’s dull grey and black..Version: 5.0.4

Good and bad pointsGood - great for timelapse with a choice if frame rates and play back Bad - That everytime you try to export the video it runs through encoding which can take 20 mins and if the export fails you have to run through the whole thing again, surely there is a better way !.Version: 5.0.2

Need to fit more photos.I was making a scene, but I could only use 100 photos at a time. Also, I would like it to be slower because I can’t see what’s going on and it is very fast, even at the slowest..Version: 5.0

Need to be able to adjust imported photosI needed a stop motion app for photos I already have so paid to get the full app but to my disappointment when you upload the photos from your phone you can adjust them so they get chopped off. Tried to crop them before adding them but didn’t make any difference :/ So at the moment not much use for me unfortunately so it’s a shame I didn’t know this before purchasing the app.Version: 4.1.1

Keeps crashingGreat to see that it all looks so simple but I can't even start to take a video without it force closing. It could just be my iPod but it is extremely irritating.Version: 1.2.4

Great app but..This is a really good app I’ve used it before but in a recent update it removed it, so of course I tried to redownload it but nothing’s working. Please fix.Version: 5.0

OkGreat for simple, one shot takes but editing and compiling multiple videos is almost impossible. I did a video and paused the shot to let paint dry however the end result was the order of the photos completely wrong. I had to export all pictures and compile them in a different app..Version: 5.0.2

ScreenWhat have you done with the screen?!.Version: 2.2.4

Can't get landscape view.App is OK and works, but I can't get landscape view. The focus feature is great but app itself is colourless and boring..Version: 4.1.1

EhI loved IMotion and i used it for so long, But then one day I go onto it and everything’s changed!, It just sorta became worse app, I don’t know how but I’m just telling you what happened,.Version: 6.0.1

It’s ok😐😐When I go to do a movie it presses the button every second and I don’t get chance to move anything.Version: 6.0.4

Errm...ok🤷‍♀️This app is good for basic animations but you can’t do much with your film. Most of the features you have to pay for so it isn’t really worth your time. If you are looking for an animation app I suggest you get -stop motion- it is much better and is easier to use. It does have some features locked and you have to pay for but over all that is the better option. Hope this was useful.Version: 5.0.4

Black photos!I paid for the extras so that I could import photos but when I did they were black. The animation was counting up the frames but you cannot see the photos. I would like a refund as I cannot do what I need it for! Is this possible?.Version: 5.0.7

Can’t see the videoUploaded 12 pictures from my phone to test a short stop motion video. If you press stop/start you can see the numbers in the top right count off but you can’t see the pictures at all, just a black screen. Paid for the pro version and it’s crap. Just a waste of money..Version: 5.0.2

How do I get a refundIt’s way too limited and there’s no option for deleting the videos created in app. I want a refund please. Thank you.Version: 5.0.7

CrashesKeeps crashing after recording 50+ frames. With no option to save movie so everything lost. Very disheartening :-(.Version: 1.2.5

GlitchesIt's all really good but once I, done making the stop motion video all the photos get randomly misplaced and it get really annoying considering I'm doing this for grade at school. Please fix this asap..Version: 3.1.2

Trying it outI’m giving it a four stars for know but I didn’t download it yet it’s for a project we have to film a movie but I don’t feel like filming so I’m gonna see how good this app is and send it to the teacher.Version: 5.0.2

No inside cameraArrrrrrrgghhh let me use my inside cam! And add music.Version: 1.2.5

Could be betterYou should be able to add sound effects for free.Version: 5.0

We need portrait modeStill no option to create movies in portrait mode. Get with the times IMotion, 90% of online videos are TikToks or Instagram Reels these days. Very good way to ensure your app becomes irrelevant.Version: 6.2.3

I have a bugSo I was using the mode where you use pictures to make a movie. Once I finished the photos weren’t showing it was just black I’m really upset about it because I tried everything. I tried deleting photos and apps to make more storage. I tried deleting all my imotions I tried redownloading the app but nothing worked please fix this soon. Thanks..Version: 5.0

Actually super fun!Hi! Recently I sent in a review saying that this was most non-used app. Well that has changed quite a bit on the past few weeks! Since I found out about the iMotion gallery! Now I spend a lot of time time watching the videos on there!.Version: 5.0.4

Good time-lapse app, if you purchase the full version.Don't waste your time creating a serious time-lapse movie because you're limited to saving your work to the iMotion server, until you purchase the full version. Otherwise, it has a couple of great features for a time-lapse app such as an fps slider, and an option to delete individual frames in a rendered movie..Version: 1.0.2

A little disappointed unfortunatelyI was so excited to find a great app for my time lapse videos….. until I went to resume the recordings, as doing painting Timelapse’s, so takes ages, and I’m devastated as the app mixes up the video and it makes no sense. I thought it may have been a one off, but no!…. Second and third attempts were the same …. So annoying ! Send an email for support about a month ago and have heard absolutely nothing back. Shame as is good for short videos that you don’t need to resume 😫.Version: 6.1.1

Bluetooth remote frustration!How do you get a Bluetooth camera shutter remote to work with this app...it just makes the volume go up and down?!?.Version: 5.0.2

Waste of moneyBought the full version of this app because I needed to make a time lapse video. It cropped my video, none of the buttons were working, it was just a waste.Version: 5.0.2

ProblemsI made a movie but then when I tried to save it to my photo library, it didn’t work. Tried everything. I tried restarting my IPad, but that didn’t work. After trying to do stuff in the settings, when I came back into the app, all my stuff was deleted! 😭.Version: 5.0.2
