Unbrauchbar für HDR

Meiner Meinung nach absolut unbrauchbar. Die Ergebnisse sind nicht zufrieden stellend. Das geht mit anderen Apps bei gleichem Ausgangsmaterial deutlich besser. Vor allem eigentlich HDR Effekt also bei Gegenlicht Situation funktioniert überhaupt nicht.

No video?

In the description it says „photo and video“ but I’m not able to upload and edit any videos. That’s the only reason I bought the app so I want the money back.
