The Apple store is just as bad. I tried finding an app that just takes a photo every n seconds until I press stop.
I could find endless pages of apps that claimed to do this - but had 1-star ratings because they couldn't actually do the single thing they were supposed to do.
Ugh. I remain pretty convinced that there's an app like this out there, but discovering it is just plain impossible.
IIRC none of those just place the photos in the iPhone gallery. They only give you the finished video.
I tried looking into making this myself, but it’s an insane rabbit’s hole of Cocoapod compilation problems and general yak shawing. A kingdom for a bash shell and a few good cli tools..
The workflow is a little counterintuitive but not hard. I created a video to illustrate. There are also quite a few settings I didn’t show, such as image quality, frame limit, blackout periods, etc.
Since it’s very late all you get is me pointing it around the entrance to my hotel room, but the images are captured by the configurable timer, not me directly.
Hmm, I’ve been looking for an iOS project idea recently...
Seems like something one could crank out in a weekend. But I’m with you on discovery. Finding something that isn’t going to disappoint me gets harder with time.
