2.2

October 18, 2022

NEW FEATURES & ENHANCEMENTS • Support for the quad-pixel sensor of iPhone 14 Pro in Normal mode: Hydra currently exposes the 48MP sensor when shooting in Normal mode. Both ProRAW (for editing) and JPEG/HEIC (high speed) can be used. • Hydra's photo editor gets updated to let you edit at the full 48MP resolution & save the result. • An intermediary format of 27MP is offered in Hydra (Photo reduction option) when shooting with the quad-pixel sensor to enable a greater photo resolution at a more reasonable file size. • Hydra AI modes can't currently offer support for the new sensor (48MP) as full-resolution RAW format is not offered to 3rd-party developers. Stay tuned on this subject as we definitely hope to do more when that becomes possible. • Fixed a UI-related glitch on iOS 16

  • Ridiculous repeating charges

    Bought this app full price some years ago and it was pretty fun, iPhones caught up a little bit but it still had some nice features. Didn’t use it for a while then boom new update calls it “2” and wants me to pay for it all over again to remove the watermark from an app I PAYED for already. This is not ok at all. The old app removes doesnt work anymore. This tells me they will do it again and again. This is terrible business orqtice but unfortunately pretty common now. Nope, no way I’m paying for it again. Byeeee.

  • Awful

    I’m not sure how it can be this bad. The default camera app is 100x better. lo-light might as well be no light. It has zero effect. Hi-res looks blurry
  • 3 stars for keep trying

    Just want to be fair, I updated the app and tried low-light again. Failed as usual, the UI is still waste of screen space, I hope a professional photographer could be included in the design team to rescue this app. You need a clear aim for this app’s potential users and offer the simple but customizable UI that convincing paid subscribers. Sorry to so harsh, in my last comment I’ve made suggestions on how to improve the design, I wish someone will truly listen to your users instead saying “this is the free version … the Pro version… “ No! this app need a major overhaul.
