Hyperlapse from Instagram Reviews

by Katherine.Ann.666

The video is such poor quality I can’t use it for anything, not even instagram. I don’t understand why with the advanced capabilities of the iPhone Hyperlapse can’t utilize some of that. My phone shoots in 4K but HyperlapsefromInstagram makes blurry pixelated videos. My phone has image stabilization but HyperlapsefromInstagram makes videos that vibrate and shake all over the place. Even if you don’t improve HyperlapsefromInstagram at all it would be 100% more efficient to just allow people to import existing videos so we could optimize the image stabilization in the iPhone.

Man I loved using HyperlapsefromInstagram, but for months I’ve been experiencing this problem with my speaker. It drove me nuts. Like the other reviewers in here, I experienced this distorted echoing sound coming from the speakers on my phone. It sounds horrible - like my speaker blew out or something. I couldn’t figure out what it was from. Once the distortion occurs it affects all apps across my phone, and won’t stop until i do a reboot. I was just about ready to wipe my phone and take it to apple for a replacement, when I realized that I only had the problem after using HyperlapsefromInstagram. At that point it was an easy decision to uninstall.

Aside from this 1 MAJOR flaw, HyperlapsefromInstagram is great. If this ever gets fixed, I’ll definitely re-install. PLEASE FIX!

Hyperlapse renders iPhone unusable.

I’m having a big problem with the SOUND on my iphone when using Hyperlapse. I'm on an iphone SE (which is technically a 6s, but smaller) and when I use hyperlapse, it distorts the sound of the iphone during playback, and also distorts the sound of ANYTHING on the phone (ring tones, texts, other videos shot with stock app, and music). I’ve tested this over and over, and the only fix is a hard reset of the iphone. However, once I use hyperlapse again, the phone immediately starts to sound very distorted and echoey.

It's a new glitch that just started appearing once I updated my phone form a 5s to SE, so I'm thinking it's a software glitch. But I'm hoping that either hyperlapse (i.e. Instagram's purchase of the LUMA technology responsible for the great stabilization) will figure out a fix. I'm guessing an update of HyperlapsefromInstagram may fix this, though my friend had the same issue and said this didn't help.

Any tips would be GREAT. I love hyperlapse but won't use it until this is fixed, as it renders my iphone pretty useless.

HyperlapsefromInstagram would be good if it had some of the basic functions necessary for a video or photo app to succeed. I went to turn on my Hyperlapse and after 15 minutes of creating a time lapse it stated that the video had stopped due to my storage filling up which I had expected to happen. But when I went to search for the video they had completely deleted it and there is no backup on HyperlapsefromInstagram for saved videos. Just because the video cut short doesn’t mean I wanted to delete all the materials. Once this is fixed it would be so much better.

HyperlapsefromInstagram puts a strange delay effect on my iPhone across the entire system every time I use it. The only ways to correct it are to force quit HyperlapsefromInstagram or switch to another audio source, play some audio, and then switch back to the phone’s speaker. This is especially weird considering that HyperlapsefromInstagram doesn’t create video with sound. Why should it have any effect on sound whatsoever? And, more importantly, how can an app effect sound across the entire system of the phone? This could potentially be a vulnerability in iOS that could maliciously exploited.

The problem doesn’t occur if microphone access is disabled in settings, which is fine because it doesn’t create video with sound. Why should it have access to the microphone in the first place?

I downloaded HyperlapsefromInstagram specifically for its promise of stabilized timelapses. However, AFTER recording my timelapse, Hyperlaps alerted me that "Image stabilization is not supported on your device. ~ Finished Hyperlapse may not be stabilized." And, sure enouh, it wasn't. I could only adjust the speed of the timelapse.
I have an iPad Mini 4 with iOS 11.4.1---the most current iOS at the time of this writing.
Frustrating that Hyperlapse does not tell people of this upfront.

I like HyperlapsefromInstagram because it stabilizes my videos and you can choose the speed. But it has a glitch where it distorts my iPhone's sound so it sounds very static-like, and the only solution is to reset my phone. I also wish you could save it at 1080p because that's much higher quality, and I would like it if they added the option to save multiple speeds of the same video. Otherwise this is a great app and it surpasses the iPhone's built in time lapse feature when it comes to stabilization.

Great app accept when you're reviewing your video you can't tell where you are in the video because the time bar st the bottom is insanely thing. Seriously why does it have to be so thin? I literally can't see it sometimes. Give me a valid reason and then I'll maybe understand. But there can't be one. If it's because you don't want to obstruct any of the video then give me the option to hide it. How hard is that.

This is a great app! I really love it and it’s nice to have the option of how fast you want it! If you haven’t got HyperlapsefromInstagram yet and are thinking about it I would definitely recommend it! I have a suggestion not a flaw I would like to share... it would be nice if you could change it to slow Mo to! I would honestly give it five stars if you can do that or should I suggest a separate app!

HyperlapsefromInstagram is amazing! It's so
helpful when you're on a plane or vacation and you want to record yourself in the clouds (in the plane, obviously) or recording the waves at beach, traffic in a city, or even a storm. I don't even care that I'm
not a social media user, I just like the fact that there's a way I can keep special memories through a time lapse video, although it might sound cheesy to stupid.

As the title, camera quality is good, not the best though. If I could I would give it a 4.25 though. Although the camera is not the best, HyperlapsefromInstagram is very easy to navigate, which I definitely like. This is a pretty nice app and I would definitely recommend it to others, but i am positive that there are better apps out there.

I’ve been using Hyperlapse since it was released & it’s be far one of the best functional apps I’ve ever used. The option to choose the speed of the timelapse is so great. When I’m recording a timelapse of my newborn, then 2x speed makes his movements look great, or when I was in Iceland this past year, the 8x speed was appropriate to speed up 10 minutes of driving by mountain ranges & convert into a couple of minutes.

I also just really think that the negative reviews are based on those users devices & likely too much software that isn’t based from Hyperlapse but from corrupt data or software issues.

I’ve never come across any of the negative claims & I just very much appreciate HyperlapsefromInstagram!

I have been using HyperlapsefromInstagram for all my world travels for YEARS and years now and it has made some of the best memories to look back on. Things that are too long for a video can be made into a quick snapshot of nature being amazing or a centuries-old process being demonstrated or even just people walking in a city. Now that I’ve upgraded to the iPhone 11 Pro though I’m disappointed by the “Stabilization Not Supported” message :( Please bring this to the iPhone 11 Pro again!

I've been using Hyperlapse for a few years now and have never had any issues. The interface is elegant, the videos I get always come out stunning, and I cannot emphasize enough how great it is not to need a tripod. I wish other apps would take a page from this developer's book.

I love Hyperlapse for it’s simple interface and the silky-smooth footage it produces. I used HyperlapsefromInstagram all the time to on my iPhone 6. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 11, and HyperlapsefromInstagram ’s software stabilization isn’t supported. You can still make a time lapse with HyperlapsefromInstagram , but the stabilization is what makes HyperlapsefromInstagram so awesome. Please fix this soon!
