Onion Cam2 - StopMotion camera 4+

This is amazing. It is so simple. If you don’t like stop-motion animation then this app probably isn’t your thing, but otherwise this is THE BEST stop-motion app on the App Store, hands down. The adds aren’t that annoying. They are just those little strips at the bottom. YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THIS NOW IT IS SO AMAZING!!! The only thing I don’t like about this app is that once you set a setting (for example, 12 pics per second) you can’t change it for every video. My suggestion is that you should add a feature where you can have a different amount of pictures per second depending on the length of your video. If you have 20 photos in one video and 400 in another, you should be able to change the length for each video. That’s all.

Overall this app is very good. Videos are great quality, ads aren’t intrusive and it’s easy to use. I do like the fact that you can see what photos you’ve taken, move them around and remove unwanted frames. This is a feature I don’t see on other stop motion apps. There are a few things in the interface, mainly with the history, that could change to help make this a five star app.
1. In the history (where you can see all the photos you’ve taken) make it so that the most recent image comes first. I’ve made a few long videos and decided to remove some frames at the end, but scrolling through 300+ photos is not ideal. You could add a filter that switches it between newest and oldest.
2. Add a multi select for removing frames. Again having to individually remove frames is quite annoying and tedious.
3. Fix the bug with moving frames. If you move a frame, you have to back out of history, then go back in. If you moved a frame from the bottom, this means a lot of scrolling. You also aren’t able to move beyond the visible frames, so it makes moving frames frustrating. Adding a multi select here would also help.

This is the first time I use anything with stop motion. I should’ve know how time consuming it could be considering you have to do everything frame by frame and move things little by little but it looks fun. I don’t know how other apps work but this one is so simple and easy to use. I don’t know if you’re able to add sound to other apps but it looks like you can’t with this one but I’m fine with that since I’m barley able to even make one movie. It’s easy and fun to use when you’re finally able to put at least 50 shots together. I only wish that it would move just a little slower but hey this is free so I can’t expect to get everything I want free.
