iMotion Remote 4+

I've been using iMotion for a few years now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. (Especially because it works on older iDevices). That said, when I added another iPhone recently, I thought I'd try the iMotion Remote on the new iPhone to trigger iMotion on the old iPhone.

I did like the fact that I could see the screen of the camera taking the photos and taking single photos was simple with the screen-tap function. I'd hoped to be able to set the recording iPhone up and then trigger a "session" but this remote doesn't do that. At least not yet.

1. For things like stop-animation it's probably great... Even just as a remote trigger for things Iike group shots, awesome. Basically any scenario where you want the camera to be stationary.

2. Number 1 is also where the problem lies, there are some instances where you may want to set up the camera for a time-lapse session but not want to touch the recording camera once it's set up.

3. My suggestion would be to turn it into a more fully functioning remote:

A. Add the ability to set all the time-lapse functions remotely. (other than resolution which is automatically set depending on iPhone orientation)

B. Add the ability to trigger a pre-set time lapse session.

C. Add the ability to remotely change how the photos are taken (single, mic, etc.) This one may not be needed as much...

D. Push notification to the remote if the iDevice taking the photos is running out of space/app crashes etc.

There are probably other things but A, B, C and D are what immediately come to mind.

1st Star... Found the recording iPhone quickly, when the iMotion App was set to remote.

2nd Star... I could see what my other iPhone saw.

3rd Star... Taking single photos remotely was simple.

4th Star... future update ?

5th Star... To the right and... No.. Wait... That's something else.

I don't think people realize this app is meant to be used in conjunction with its I motion counterpart. I don't have a very sturdy tripod when my iPad is on it so I don't like to wobble the camera by touching it. When used properly I can use this app like a remote control and tap my iPod to take the pic with my iPad. It's a brilliant idea and works great. I even get a little window on my iPod to see what my iPad sees without having to get up and move off set. This app is not meant to be on the device taking a picture, it's meant to be on the device your using as the remote.

It's okay in the start it was fine but now it needs a update. There are some bug fixes that are needed. Like the connection to two different devices and optimize it for iPhone/iPod 5.
