This app makes it easy to take long-exposure photos with your iPhone.
Capture the passage of time in a single image—from city lights, starry skies, star trails, and fireworks to flowing waterfalls and rivers.
Choose from three blending modes to create the look you want.
【Light Trails】
Adds up the light from each frame to draw trails from car headlights and brighten subjects that are too dark to see.
Perfect for night scenes and faint auroras that are hard to see with the naked eye.
【Motion Blur】
Averages multiple frames to give waterfalls and rivers a smooth, silky appearance.
It can create a slow-shutter effect even in bright conditions and can also make moving people less noticeable.
【Lighten】
Keeps only the brightest parts of each frame, so the background doesn’t wash out even during long exposures.
Ideal for fireworks, star trails, and auroras that are clearly visible to the naked eye.
【Create from Video】
Turn videos you’ve already recorded into long-exposure photos. Choose the part of the video to use and blend it with Motion Blur or Lighten. Stabilization is also supported.

Tips for Better Results
For standard long-exposure photography, mount your iPhone on a tripod or place it on a stable surface for sharper results.
Image stabilization helps reduce camera shake when shooting without a tripod, but the edges of the resulting photo will be cropped slightly.
Results and available lenses may vary depending on your iPhone model and shooting conditions.
When it shows it’s shooting for a 2s shutter light draw image. There is a 1 second delay from when the app says it’s shooting the photo to when it actually captures the shot. If I add a 3 or 10 second timer it doesn’t stop the additional 1 second delay after it says shooting the image. This 1 second is inconsistent and is sometimes half a second or nearly 2 seconds. It’s a minor inconvenience to capture the light drawing photos with this issue.
5 Stars for telescope Astro photography
Happyaspie
I’m so happy I found this app, I wasted lots of money trying other camera apps until finding this one. It does everything you need to do great Astro photography using an IPhone with a telescope adapter. Manual focus, shutter speed, and iso settings all under your control. Once you play with it a bit and do some trial and error you quickly figure out the settings. I paid 5.99 for this and am so happy, especially after wasting over 25 bucks on other leading camera apps for Astro photography. I thank the developer for making such an easy to use and high quality app for doing long exposure photography!
Better Than Others

I tried a few other long exposure apps before trying this one, and I was pleased with the operation. It is very easy to understand and use. It would be even better if you could zoom the camera while using it, I got the pro version thinking that would solve it and was a bit disappointed to find it didn’t. Aside from that I think it takes great night shots. I highly recommend using a tripod for longer exposures.
Nice app for low light photos.

I have used this app on several camping trips. It works well taking photos of stars and it is easy to capture the Milky Way with it. It works well with city night scapes capture lights and motion. I have not tried it with daylight shots for moving water, I’ll give it a shot and let you know. You can use it for wild life if they stand still, but since they are unpredictable, the photos get tricky.
Bug fixes and performance improvements.
