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.

Worst HDR App

This is the worst HDR app I have ever used. It does nothing to increase dynamic range. It just adds grungy structure that results in a terrible look.

Doesn't give the clarity I was expecting

Not impressed, you pay for what you get. Picture I have tried to edit have come out worse than before I used it.
