Make it free at this point

No wonder why this app has 3 stars it only makes slight improvement and puts on 2 watermarks and its so overpriced

Just make it free

Disappointed

I love the hydra app but for some reason when I use the new version every time I try to use the high res or zoom function.
Using iPhone XR on the latest iOS the iPhone can support.

The app is jumping away

During working on the picture ones the app jumping away and can’t work on the picture

Worse than version 1. Sliders need tweaking. Crashes.

Update 25/3/26: seems to crash a lot when taking HDR photos and processing them. I’ve tested photos and video from both the version 1 and version 2 Hydra and can honestly say that the results from the legacy version 1 are just that same and in some cases even better than the newer Hydra. Therefore I wouldn’t pay £4.99 to upgrade. The 110mp shots from the new version look less sharp than the original Hydra at 32mp. The older version wins in macro too. I’m not sure how version 2 is any upgrade at all. It would be nice to be able to double tap on the sliders and make them reset back to zero. It’s hard to pull the sliders to zero because they’re so small. And it would be good to be able to save your HDR settings to that every picture you take is tweaked to your own personal taste. Also, I’m not clear what the difference is between the PRO (rolling monthly/yearly payments) and the full version is. Are you saying that if I were ti pay for the full version I wouldn’t get updates that I would with the pro version ??. Also needs an option to double click on the sliders to return them back to zero (default settings) in editing, because it’s fiddly to get them back to zero.
