Description:
PhotoChron ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photochron&hl=en ) is a free app that lets you take a photo a day, week or month and build them into a timelapse video.

I built it to track my son growing up, and I've been developing and using it for the past 2 years!

Trailer:

Features:
  • Use a simple face outline or the previous frame to help you line up your photos
  • Set up reminders for every day, week or month
  • Photochron will detect faces to help with photo alignment if you ask it
  • Easy sharing to Youtube, Facebook, Google+ etc.
  • Import old photos from your phone gallery
  • Back up your photos to your Google Drive account

Love the app. What would make it perfect is if it faded to the next picture instead of just cutting to it. Could this be implemented please?

nice idea, but can you explain, why you need access to my accounts?

I'm sure the developer doesn't mean any harm. Hopefully he'll be able to explain why. I'm not a dev, yet all I know is that a lot of apps that enable you to share things on facebook and other sharing sites, like to have access to your accounts. Maybe this is why this app wants access too?

Either way, I think it's a fantastic app. If only I could wind back the clock by 3,5 years so I could start making pics from the day my son was born :D

sure, I don't suspect this, but I still would like to know - take es file explorer eg, that can also share to other services, yet doesn't need access to my accounts:

There seems to be a bug with recent CM10.1 builds and this app. It worked fine before, but now whenever I take a pic it just freezes on the camera screen (although the app itself is still responsive) it doesn't proceed to the preview screen to confirm the pic. However I noticed this only happens when my face is actually in the middle of the image. If I take a pic of something else it goes on to the preview screen just fine.

This makes me think it's something to do with the "slow and buggy" face detection, but I get the same results whether it's turned on or off.

Any ideas?

Great App!

Just became a dad 2 months ago and I love this app. However, it will only create an SD video. If I try to go 720 or 1080 it gives an error something like "failed to create video, try changing video settings".

I have tried a few different video settings to no avail. Has anyone got any ideas?

Regards
