### 2/5 — No updated version

*2025-10-22, version 2.4*

For years this was my go-to HDR app. Unfortunately the developer hasn’t kept up with Apple updates and now the app doesn’t work like it used to. Photos are blotchy and unusable. Would happily use again if the app worked properly on iOS 26.

### 3/5 — Please update for iPhone X

*2017-11-16, version 2.4*

See above

### 3/5 — I like it but has issues

*2017-10-19, version 2.4*

This app does a great job with giving you a naturally looking HDR. The problem is that it does not do as good as some others when it comes to photo alignment. I'm a bit of a HDR app snob and bought most that are available. This app consistently produces ghosting because alignment of photos is not perfect. Yes it's my fault as in shooting hand held. But a few other apps have it figured out. Yes the ones that create real HDR and not just single image with filters.

### 2/5 — 画质一般

*2017-09-24*

买了这个软件，是挺傻瓜话的。但画质真心一般，也不知道能不能退货，ios11上闪退啊。什么时候解决呢

### 1/5 — app crash

*2017-09-23, version 2.3*

i paid for an app that crashes when i try to save. how do i get a refund!!!!

### 1/5 — Update erforderlich

*2017-09-21*

Musste die App löschen, da sie unter IOS 11 nicht mehr funktioniert.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2017-06-18, version 2.2*

Don't waste yr money!!

### 1/5 — 쓰레기임

*2017-03-19*

돈 아까움

### 1/5 — Bad

*2016-11-24, version 2.2*

This app is pure sh!t

### 1/5 — I must be doing something wrong

*2016-11-04, version 2.2*

Would have given it zero but it will not let you. When importing images it automatically loads what it thinks is the dark and light images one of which is not sharp and then it says images are different sizes. Completely unusable , cannot find any instructions, no support.  Do not buy this until the makers explain why I cannot get it to work

### 1/5 — 对我没用

*2016-09-05*

怎么用，感觉没用

### 1/5 — Used to be great but crashes a lot now..

*2016-07-16, version 2.2*

.. No updates since 11/2014!!  Used to be a great HDR app - maybe the easiest and best - now pretty useless...

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-01-20, version 2.4*

Just downloaded this app and it does not work at all. Stay away from this app.

### 1/5 — Wasted $

*2021-06-07, version 2.4*

Poor quality app, don't buy

### 1/5 — Worthless and useless app - FREE apps are 1000 times better than this

*2020-12-01*

Don’t know who developed this useless app and made it to be paid app .... even FREE apps have 100 features but this paid app has nothing ... no image is HDR and editing the pic from library is useless

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2020-11-05*

L’application ne fonctionne pas sur IPad Pro lorsqu’on importe les photos l’application bug et le rendu final n’apparaît jamais.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-03-25, version 2.4*

This app is ridiculous. I want my money back. It makes no sense. Offers no instructions or tools. It’s a complete waste of time and money. All I wanted was to import a photo and make
Adjustments. This app pretends it does.. and then nothing.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2019-10-13, version 2.4*

Do not buy this if you have iOS 11 or newer! It does not work. Even though it states it is compatible with anything from iOS 8 onwards. It also stated “works on this iPhone” in the details. I can only load 1 image & then it freezes. EVERY TIME

### 1/5 — Bloß nicht kaufen!

*2019-03-03*

Überhaupt nichts Wert! Keine Funktionen und einfach nur schlecht! Schade um das Geld! 😑

### 1/5 — 절대 구매하지 마세요. 낚시 당합니다.

*2018-07-30*

절대 구매하지 마세요. 낚시질 당합니다. 쓰레기 앱!

### 1/5 — Does not use full screen

*2018-01-11, version 2.4*

Poorly implemented. Only has square shooting mode. Does not take advantage of full landscape mode. Which is what most people use Hdr for. Chops off a good amount of the view.

### 1/5 — Woeful

*2017-12-03, version 2.4*

This is a terrible HDR app, do not buy it. The pictures are very poorly merged, the “filters” are pointless and terrible. Awful app.

### 5/5 — Used to work remarkably well, but no longer

*2025-09-30, version 2.4*

Allows you to set points for highlight and shadows so produces a well exposed picture that doesn't look  artificial like many other HDR apps.
Shadow exposure is captured much better than using the iOS camera app.

Update 2025:  after many good years this app no longer works on iOS 18.7.1

### 5/5 — 还可以

*2019-01-01*

出去玩买的，在阳光充足的地方拍照很好看。

### 5/5 — Great HDR App!

*2017-09-26, version 2.4*

I love that the app got updated for iOS 11, I was afraid the developer wasn’t going to do it, this is one of my favorite HDR apps, really recommended

### 5/5 — Begeisterung!

*2017-05-12*

Die Fotos machen auf mich einen tollen Eindruck. Es wirkt alles so surrealistisch. Man braucht zwar ein ruhiges Händchen, da zwei Fotos gemacht und miteinander verschmolzen werden, aber man kann sich ja meist irgendwo abstützen. Das anschließende Ergebnis spricht für sich. Also ich bin begeistert! Tolles Tool.

//Edit: Es wäre schön, wenn der Entwickler mal schnell eine höhere Version rausbringen würde, da die App ansonsten demnächst nicht mehr funktionieren wird! Es eilt!

### 5/5 — good quality pictures, easy to use

*2017-03-16*

good quality pictures, easy to use - exactely what it is supposed to do, exactely what i needed
thanks!

### 5/5 — Works remarkably well

*2016-10-09, version 2.2*

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-07-26, version 2.2*

Great app for hdr. Sometimes crashes but still good

### 5/5 — Now my go to photo app

*2016-06-07, version 2.2*

Great app which does an impressive job of HDR for a phone. For landscapes I'll often use this over other camera apps. 
Only downsides are occasional crashing and sometimes a big halo around the dark frame but both are completely liveable. Fantastic app, thanks.

### 5/5 — Alles bestens; danke.

*2016-01-21*

Tut was es soll... Mir fehlen die Anpassungsmöglichkeiten und die Beschränkung auf zwei Bilder. Meine Belichtungsreihen sind aus wesentlich mehr Bildern. ... Hoffe es gibt mal ein Update oder in App Erweiterung...

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-12-03, version 2.2*

Use this app all the time my pictures are great
