Motion Detector App Reviews

Generally a cool app, but I am missing: recording of movies or images into the standard image area (you can watch them only in the app). Who records surveilance movies in portrait mode????? landscape required. Record with a blank screen If this is done, its a real useful app.

Not possible to select a usable motion detection. Good idea, but need more flexibility to start video or pictures.

Clicking the info button crashes the app. I assume thats where the options screen is supposed to be. Without it the app is absolutely useless.

When I start the app with email notification set, the application will send one email when threshold is reached and thats it. Crummy app

It would benefit from having an option to have a blank screen while recording, maybe an "auto save" option would be nice too??

Seems to be working...I wasnt to sure about it before I downloaded it..especially for 3 bucks..but its working good on my 3g ..wish I had the 3gs to see the video feed..only draw back seems to be the 4 sec delay between photos...but as they said Its do to the hardware...

Rushed to market? Dont know, but its not working as advertised. On a new 3GS, when the app is opened it seems to take a pic every 2.5 seconds even when the camera lens is covered and the motion detection bar is showing zero. Notice I said "seems to take a pic"? Yeah, about that....It makes the shutter sound like a picture is being taken, but none ever show up on the camera roll. Even when enough motion is introduced to clearly snap a pic. No pics, no how. So, logical thing to do is visit the Senstic web site for support, right? Well good luck, cause "Motion Detector" isnt listed as one of their iPhone products, nor listed in their forum, at least as of the time of writing of this review. So bottom line: It doesnt work at all for me and theres no support on the Senstic web site. Wasted $3.

Works as advertised. Makes a small video that you can restart but cant stop. I dont see a way to export pics or vids. Still needs work. Hope to see a better upgrade soon. Needs the following: Save to cam roll. Export. Stealth mode. Motion cap seems stable. Nice interface.

Too difficult to get to options. Record time is way too long, need options or 5 secs, etc. Worthless when you get 20 minutes of nothing.

Heres the deal. The app works fine. It still needs some additional work but it does what it says it does. For those looking for your pics in the camera roll they are not stored there they are stored in the app itself in the info/settings area in the last field at the bottom of the screen. There is room for improvement like it should store them on your camera roll too and It should allow you to delete photos via a password protected format if you do not want to keep them. You should also make it so it is silent as it snaps pics from motion, and if it could also record what they are looking at in the phone itself so you know exactly what apps were tampered with it would be a great app. I look forward to first update to see how designer improves functionality. This could easily be a 5 star app with the above mentioned enhancements.

Works great! Takes a little getting used to. Drag on stored images to delete. Biggest draw back is that images cant be exported. When that is available, I would rate it at five stars.

Updated Review (version 1.1): Worth the price. If improved, worth more. (Id pay for an upgrade with the added feature of image export!) Foremost improvement would be to document the application! The UI is tricky to get to work. If you immediately start monitoring the camera, it looks like it works, but when you stop, the app just quits. That had me confused, and there was no documentation to say otherwise (not even on their web site). The trick seems to be to press the i carefully (if you miss, it starts to monitor the camera, as above). That brings up the options, of which Trigger Recorder has the default of OFF, so when first installed, the application will not be recording images nor sending email notifications. Set Trigger Record to ON, and voila! The next time it runs, you get motion detected image captures! IT WORKS! YAY! Deleting images requires an unusual, uncommon UI. Swipe right-to-left across the thumbnail of an image group to reveal a delete key. (More usual would be the edit button at the top of the list revealing the red circle enable-delete keys with a delete button for confirmation, but oh well.) There does not seem to be a way to delete unneeded images from a set of captured images, nor can one easily exit the image review process - you cant return until youve watched to the last image. (Or maybe there is more non-obvious UI awaiting discovery). Cleaner UI would make first time users happier. Most missed feature is image export. ------------ Original Review (same version 1.1): Running on a new iPhone 3GS, the motion detect bar reacts to movement, but after an hour in a busy room, no photos, no video. Nothing. No documentation on the web site, either. Tapping the (i) quits the application. I would have expected info? settings? However, the concept is cool. Has anyone seen this version work?

Wow, All fake reviews!!!!!!!! Convinced me to buy, I am dissapointed in this incredibly lame and worthless joke app!

This is exactly what I need for getting wildlife close-ups. The app is well thought out, easy to understand, easy to use, and does what it advertises.

I wasted 3$ on this im 12 and this is a peace of crap all the comments are fake they are probably is the same peraon who made the app dont waste ur money!!!

Cant get it to work with gmail

The app is great but I need a delete all option instead of choosing them one at a time.

i set it up to detect which cat was the one causing problems. it captured it perfectly.

This is just what I was looking for and does the job, but there are are some issues. The recording time only records for 1 minute even if you have it set to 3 minutes. I would prefer it if this setting could be set to any time duration the user wants verses limiting to three preset time intervals. This app doesnt record sound, which I didnt find out about until after my purchase. It would make sense to have an option for this.

Directions on how to use this application would be nice.
