Impossible à utiliser

• ★☆☆☆☆   Saxo91 8 years ago ( v 1.2 )

Cette application paraît bien à première vue. En réalité, les modifications des masques pour les titres ne fonctionnent pas. L’intégration de l’audio non plus. Ce logiciel bug. C’est un achat que je regrette vivement et que je déconseille.

10€ foutus en l’air !

• ★☆☆☆☆   koxo13 8 years ago ( v 2.0 )

installé sur un MBP 2012 (ElCapitan) : Reconnaît une fois sur 2 mon canon 70D, plante régulièrement, impossible de faire une série de plus de 10 photos (ne trouve plus l’AP) … bref, que du bonheur ! Installé sur un imac 27’ 2013 (sous maverick) … même combat ! Aucune aide en français de disponible sur le net. Je ne peux que vous conseiller d’aller voir ailleurs ;(

Funktioniert nicht mit iPhone

• ★☆☆☆☆   Cologne 9 years ago ( v 1.2 )

Finger weg. Das Koppeln mit dem iPhone funktioniert auch nach mehrmaligen Neustarts aller Geräte nicht. Das ist aber ein Hauptfeature dieser Software. Leider kann ich die App nicht zurückgeben und jetzt musste ich knapp €10,— bezahlen ohne zu erhalten, was mir versprochen wurde.

Works with glitches

• ★★★☆☆   PablosHands 8 years ago ( v 2.1.1 )

Just like their best-in-class mobile app, but for the desktop. I did run into focus problems however, using my iDevice as a camera. No touch to focus? And switching from manual to auto focus didn’t seem to work sometimes. This is a steal for what they’re asking $$.

Needs a little more internal testing

In short, I wish it was more like the iPad version but I am happy it does not crash as much as the iPad version. All of the audio snippets from the iPad are missing in the desktop version. In fact I am not sure how to add audio at all in the desktop version. The add audio button is always inactive. On the other side, the desktop version does not freeze like the iPad version is prone to do. All of the icon buttons along the bottom of the application have the same tooltip help of PLAYER_REWIND. Connected Logitech HD web cam is occasionally detected. Other stop motion software always detect it. Image preview is grainy from a webcam but the same webcam preview in other stop motion software is much cleaner. No captured image overlay menu like in the iPad. Have not tried with the remote camera option yet. That is really a problem in the iPad version where the remote camera is only accessible half the time. Also, the application feedback and tell a freind menu item launches another program called iTerm in a text console. A forums would be nice too instead of a one way support email.
