What's New in AuraHDR Camera

12.0.0

August 31, 2026

AuraHDR Camera 12 is a major update featuring six enhancements that make the app more powerful and reliable: Focus Peaking — See sharp edges highlighted in real time, making it easier to identify exactly what is in focus. Draggable Magnifier — Move the magnifier anywhere in the frame so it doesn’t obstruct your subject. RAW Format Selection — On supported Pro iPhones, easily choose between Bayer RAW and Apple ProRAW when capturing exposure or focus brackets. More Reliable Long Exposures — Fixed an issue that could cause movement during long-exposure capture, resulting in soft images. Improved Focus and Exposure Lock — Focus lock now remains active after pressing the shutter—ideal for panoramas and other multi-shot workflows. Additional Improvements — Refined the exposure-compensation controls and other interface elements, while fixing several crashes and freezes.

Crashes when trying to take a photo

What more is there to say. Doesn’t work

Not operational do not buy

I purchased the unlock features and nothing happened. No features were activated. No way to reach company

App with potential

Like the focus stack capture function. Wanted to provide some feedback to the author, but the mail address stated at the author's web page does not work. Quite expensive if not sure how the app will develop in the future.

App crashes when capture button clicked

I recently downloaded and purchased AuraHDR and as soon as I click the capture button for any of the HDR modes and long exposure mode - the app shuts down. It DOES work for focus modes. I rebooted the phone - same result. iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18.0.0. AuraHDR 8.0.1 purchased 10/4.

UPDATE: November 2024. 8.0.2 resolved the crashing issue. Upgrading rating to 4. Why not 5 star? Remote Bluetooth shutter button does not activate shutter, only changes volume

UPDATE: December 2024. App takes nice brackets that I import into Neo or Lightroom - however - when I take a 2nd shot, the app freezes with “High Quality Raw Bracket. Tripod is Advised”. The only way out is to close out the app and restart- which is a cumbersome workaround. Downgrading to 3 star.
