Greedy Garbage

Wasted time and effort just to put up paywall

Greedy bait and switch

The app asks you to pay $3 per photo or a monthly subscription fee. Free apps nearly two decades ago were more functional than this app.

No preview without paying

No way to see whether or not this app is any good no one free image or anything deleted the data wasted my time removing the app what garbage

Convenient

It’s very convenient to shoot a quick hdri image rather than do my usual multi bracketed fisheye shots that sometimes fail with photoshop stitching. This works every time. My only issue is I have an iPhone 12. I didn’t see any pre sales warning about using older iPhones but it will only take 3 exposures instead of the 5 as advertised :/

Works great

For lighting VFX in your own environments, so absolute precision not required, this works really well, and the convenience is worth some money.

Can’t even do anything

You must buy a membership, even to view your HDRI!

Paywall app

Used to be good, now everything is locked behind a paywall. £2.99 to download my existing old images!

Greedy but functional

With the amount of data they’re harvesting, the least they can do is reevaluate the price tag. $3 per hdri, WITHOUT A PREVIEW is insane. This is not an app, it’s a subscription to a web tool.

That said, the tool does what it says. If it were a one off payment (or if I could just preview the HDRI generated before purchasing) this would be a different review. A stainless steel gazing ball is a one time $30 purchase, and can build the same thing without sending your photos into an ai black box. This tool doesn’t even save time over the mirror ball as you’ve still got to wait for the images to process.

If you’ve got the extra cash, go for it. The tool works pretty well, and if you make enough HDRI’s I can see a subscription being worth it- but if you’re someone like me who only needs a handful for the occasional FX shot, the value just isn’t there.

Die

Disappointing

You can’t even review the stitch before paying for it.

Free trial please

Just allow people to do one capture

Why do I have to pay for a preview?

Why would you lock a preview behind a paywall? I’m not spending money on an app subscription that I don’t even know will work.

Feedback

Really good feedback from developer and responsive

Very good

Good but I wish it was free

No free demo; can’t check image quality before stitching

I got this app purely so that I can train people at my work on turning on aircraft APU without having to use a cockpit diagram. I spent the $3 for the stitched image, and the picture quality is horrible. Part of it is my own fault (I had to be crouching to take the pictures and couldn’t turn around easily), but it’s ridiculous that you can’t review pictures before proceeding to the stitching part. I also wish that you weren’t required to take a full “sphere”/16(?) pictures since I didn’t need the full view. Waste of money and time.

Hned chtějí peníze

Ani se na to nemůžeš podívat protože musíš zaplatit

Great app for beginners in 3d and VFX!

Stitching is well done, images are high quality. Will definitely purchase again
