Timesnap

Simple is Very Good

I needed an App to take pictures of the technical parameters of my furnace displayed on a smart thermostat for 24 hours at a time. The App takes time-stamped pictures and saves them in the pictures library where they can be managed, especially once they are synchronized to the iCloud. I used 10 second or 60 seconds intervals and could see intermittent control problems in my heating system. After wasting $19.99 on a program that did not time-stamp the pictures, kept them in its own library and had no tools to deal with a few thousand images I found this App and was rescued. My thanks to the developers!

Doesn’t work as advertised

Doesn’t work on my iPhone 14 Pro. This takes photos at set intervals but that’s about it. It only takes 2MP images (not full res as advertised), uses a slower shutter speed than the standard iPhone camera (so images are motion blurred), and doesn’t sync with the correct lenses (so the 0.5x lens is actually the telephoto 2x lens). I could deal with the lens issue but have no use for blurred 2MP images - I could get better results using grabbed frames from HD video mode. All in all this didn’t work for me and was a waste of money.
