Skyflow is an incredibly handy and functional tool for photographers who aim for the best quality time-lapse shooting!

It has many options, such as choise of shooting resolution and format, motion blur and light trails effects, HDR, panning motion and more.
After shooting is complete youll need to export your time-lapse as a video file or image sequence.
And the most amazing feature of Skyflow is that it allows you to change the playback speed of the final video even after the end of shooting!

Highlights:
• Shooting and exporting with a resolution of up to 4K
• RAW shooting and export (for iPhone 6S and above)
• Manual ISO, shutter speed, EV, WB and focus control
• Noise Reduction for cleaner shots
• Low-Light Boost for night shots
• Long Exposure effects: Light Trails & Motion Blur
• Exposure Bracketing for HDR export
• Horizon Stabilizer for shooting in motion or from a vehicle
• Zoom with lens distortion control
• Panning motion for dramatic effect in your shots
• Support for DJI OSMO Mobile and DJI OSMO Mobile 2 handheld gimbals
Attention: DJI OSMO Mobile 3 is not supported (for reasons beyond our control)!

Other features:
• Support for the telephoto lens (on dual camera devices)
• System time, memory and battery indicators in the status bar (pressing the memory indicator changes the viewing mode)
• Setting the shooting Start Time, Interval and Duration
• Ability to change some parameters directly during shooting
• Although the shooting Interval is fixed, you can change the speed of your time-lapse in the Editor before exporting the final video!
• Photo grid with guidelines for the rule of thirds, 1:1 (square) and 2.39:1 (cinematic) aspect ratios
• Geotagging (GPS metadata in photos)

Also:
• A quick view of your time-lapse projects straight on the home screen by just swiping your finger
• A rich featured editor: ability to trim time-lapse, add music or continue time-lapse
• Flexible HDR settings with real time preview in the editor
• Convenient and understandable export settings with the choice of resolution, format, video frame rate and quality
• The resulting video can be saved to a Photo Library, sent to iTunes, or sent to another application

Important!
In the free version, you can shoot time-lapses without worrying about any limitations,
but the export will be limited to the 540p resolution, 30 fps and the video will contain a watermark.
Restrictions are unlocked via a one-time In-App purchases.

Note that if your device has an 8-megapixel camera, which has a 15% lower resolution than the actual 4K, there will be a bit of quality loss while exporting 4K video.

Pros and cons of Skyflow – Time-lapse shooting app for iPhone and iPad

Skyflow – Time-lapse shooting app good for

I tried several time lapse apps and this one is very intuitive to use. However I really miss the ability to delete individual images. Also it crashed when trying to delete projects (no progress indicator?). Ill keep an eye on it if theres an update to fix these things.

Very very professional app to do timelapses, have not seen anything like this in App Store so far. The Purchased features are also awesome though I could enjoy this more if it was like 2$.

everything perfect, but I cant find how to cut video settings are good, usability good

This app is really great for it being free I recommend this to my sister and she loves it as do I

Found this app yesterday and after a few minutes of use I bought the Pro version mainly because of the ability to export in 4K. The UI is clean, minimal and easy to use. I looked in the store for other apps like this one, but only got old and outdated apps. I recommend this app to anyone looking for a modern time lapse app.

Some bad moments

I cant access the setting tab even though i bought the full version

Would be a standout app. Once paid for full version, cannot use because crashes every time I start the time lapse. Its like they took my money and ran.

I love this app but Im not able to export the videos that I made :( please fix this

This is the app Ive been looking for, for quite a long time. Honestly speaking its beyond amazing. Time lapse with HDR and 4K resolution, trust me thats the bomb! I definitely recommend all iPhone photographers to get this app. It gives you options to customize your time lapse beyond iPhones native camera. OMG its even gat motion blur and light trials in time lapse. Trust me dont miss out. A special thanks to the developer, keep up the good work. 5 starts all the way...

Ive tried a lot. This is by far the best looking and functional one. I didnt have to think long before paying 3$ for unlocking the premium. The 4K, HDR and panning functions cant be seen on another app.it also has a great support. Perhaps one of the best Ive experienced so far. Hands down, a true 5 star app!

Packed with features, there is little this app can improve upon aside from higher contrasted buttons to see in full Sun situations. Very impressed.
