About 24/7 Time Lapse Lite
24/7 Time Lapse is designed with ultra low power consumption in mind to allow you to make Time-Lapse video over days, weeks and months using your Android phone or tablet.

Our internal test shows that this app was able to capture photos for over 50hrs in a single charge using Sony Xperia Z, Android 4.4 using our application's default settings while both WIFI and GSM radio are active. Our best competitor's application was only able to last at most 6 hr under the same conditions (http://tinyurl.com/p99ttzy).
With our amazing battery life, it is now possible for you use your everyday phone as your wearable life blogging camera, capturing every moment in your life or even capture information from your weather station.

This was the final straw for me and BB. BB had no apps to do time-lapse so I switched to Android and haven't looked back! Galaxy Note 4, Android 6.0.1. This app has always worked on all Samsung Galaxy phones I've owned as well as the couple HTC devices prior to. Use Tasker to move files to Drive, isn't rocket science. Most other features, even stupid chick wanting an external cam to work can be accomplished with Tasker or Automate. Leave external camera on screen and screen cap every so often, bam. SOO HARD

This app takes photos without your permission and if your sync to your other devices like phone, notes, tables, labetops, and computer's it will take photos from all devices 24/7 anytime it wants. Beware of this app.

This is the only "lite" time lapse app I've managed to get working properly and I didn't need to mess about. I'd definitely buy the full version if it had a start/stop date & time, as I only need to monitor at certain times of day.

Lacks the most basic requirement of manual camera controls. Couldn't believe there's no way to set and lock ISO, White balance, and focus, it's ESSENTIAL for time-lapse photography. Ran a series of 1-min interval tests and even in a controlled environment I had changes in focus and exposure, making it useless. Screen-off mode is spotty at best. HTC Evo 4G LTE (Android 4.3) works when app is backgrounded and screen turned off. Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.2) doesn't work when screen is off, regardless if display is on or off, or if app is backgrounded...it bizarrely captures bad frames that are either all black or incredibly underexposed amongst frames that are fine. Neither device was successfully able to capture a properly exposed time-lapse sequence within the 20mins of allotted charger time on the lite app. Really disappointed, it has smart features for long term time-lapses that no one else has, but lacks basic functionality.

The application does what it should do, I only would like to save the images into the photo folder of my hand phone... than they will be automatically saved at gdrive. Delete .nomedia using es is a solution but the paid version is creating this file when you start the application. THANKS FOR THE GREAT SUPPORT

You should know first that the free version is useless. Not only resolution limited, to 1080, but it prints an overlay on your videos for good measure. The "touch screen to turn off preview" does not work in my phone (LG G2). Battery consumption is pretty steep, despite their claims, which made me try this app. After installing, my regular camera app is now limited to 1080 resolution as well. The jpg images are quite soft,probably due to inadequate (or inexistent) processing. I think I will pass.

This is the only app I found that is reliable enough to be used for serious, fault-tolerant, unattended, long-time use. The other apps, especially the ones that create the video on board of the device are not good enough, especially if they keep the frames in RAM and crash if unable to create the video at the end. This app won't lose your pictures. This app will write the frames to the SD card as soon as they are taken, and then you'll have all the freedom in the world to move them, edit them and make a movie on your desktop. The keyword here is RELIABILITY and fault tolerance. If you plan to make an unattended installation on top of a mountain or in a weather balloon, you need to know that the app will reliably save your pictures you have been taking for a long period, even if nobody is there to click on "save the movie" at the end of the picture taking, even if android crashes, even if the battery dies, even if the phone itself crashes on the ground and you fish out the SD card from the wreckage. That's what I want. This app does it. This is a serious app.

There's not much of a UI but once you get used to it the app seems to work as advertised. The resolution is limited to 1.2MP and although that's better than some apps it would have been nice to use the full res. This is probably the best free timelapse app I've used, and I've tried a few.
