5/5Love every bit
I used the app Everyday to create a transformation video since 2011. For the past few years I’ve been worried about it not being updated and finally decided to make the switch to a new app. This app is wonderful and creates an amazing user experience from the moment I started with it. It offered to help me transfer all my old selfies from Everyday (no small task as I had 2807 already). Within an hour I was all set up with Close-up. Couldn’t be happier. I love the ability to choose different time periods for creating videos and the fact that it’s so easy to see how long the videos will be and change FPS. Are there things I would change or add? Sure. But overall this is an incredible app and it improves on another I’ve loved for years.

4/5Was amazing but since Dec 23 stopped working (edited - works great again)
Whenever I take a daily pic now on my iPad it ZOOMS in on my nose. I’m taking the pictures the same way I have for the past SIX YEARS and now it will only zoom after a pic. I’ve tried using flash. And not flash. Focus and not focus. If I take maybe ten pictures in a row just slamming the button and deleting immediately it *may* take a normal pic I can keep…after MULTIPLE attempts. I’ve emailed the contact info to ask for help but no response. Bummer since I’ve been taking daily pix for six years and now no longer can. Frustrating not knowing what is causing the new issue. EDIT - App has started working again and is great. I don’t know if it was iOS issue, iPad problem or something with the program. But it’s back to being perfect. Love it.

5/5very easy way to watch yourself grow/develop
i’ve always loved watching the timelapse videos of people who have taken a picture of themselves everyday, but i told myself i couldn’t do it. i didn’t know how to frame my face in the same part of the picture every time and didn’t know how to edit together photos. closeup does all of this for you. you can set up a guideline for where you’d like your face to be (if you want) and they put all the photos into a timelapse. you do have to pay to save the timelapse, but you can still view it for free. you also get to take pictures as frequently as you’d like (4x a day, 1x a month, or just whenever you want) i genuinely love being able to see myself grow through different parts of my life. the app is incredibly intuitive, doesn’t spam you with notifications (except an optional reminder to take a photo), and doesn’t have ads. i honestly recommend it to all my friends and they all enjoy it as well.

5/5Amazing app! Stick with it.
I’ve been using this app since March of 2014! I just celebrated three years clean on 5/27. Without knowing it, I captured my entire last five year run in my album. It’s important to me that I have those pictures and also looking at my journey getting clean. People think it’s amazing. I’m not one to take selfies unless it’s for a profile pic but for whatever reason I stuck with it and so far it’s captured all 9 years. I just realized it’s 9 years. Duh. That’s insane tho. I wish people could see it. As an inspiration. Thank you for creating this app and keeping it up to date!

5/5Suggestion: Have an option to show the dates on a corner in the video
Overall this app is great, it’s really easy to use and I love seeing the progress I have made. Something I think would be cool was if you could enable an option to have the dates of the pictures also show in the video. Also, if you could see a semi-transparent outline of the previous photo WHILE taking your photo—that would make it a lot easier to take photos.
