Very cool app

I got this app probably close to ten years ago now. I really enjoy it. It can be a bit of a pain for certain images as it requires a tripod for some shots. But itโ€™s a lot of fun to play around with. Besides making hdr images, you can also mix unrelated images together for a cool effect. Very cool app!

Makes terrible HDRs

Makes terrible quality HDR.

Total waste of time

I downloaded it, gave it permission for my photos and it tells me to choose a photo. When I do nothing happens. Total scam.

Really excellent results

Quick and easy way to do HDR, and very good effects.

You can only merge two photos?

There are 1 million HDR apps and the only reason I downloaded this one is because you can take bracketed photos you already took and merge them. When you try and select the third photo it says that you cannot select a third photo. What uses that?

Waste of money

If you want to use this with photos from your camera, donโ€™t waste your money. It only does 2 photos at a time, and doesnโ€™t handle anything with a normal range of megapixels.

Works as promised!

Does the job and lets you have as much or as little control of the shots as you want. A fairly intuitive interface helps you along the process. Very dramatic results.

Grade A app

I love the way the app applies its filters and adjustments to any pic. Grade A captures

I seem to get very good results with HDR.
It must be the software.

Repeatedly crashes on iPad and iPhone, barely useable

Bought this and its companion app a couple of years ago. Initially impressed, but lately it's become unusable. It crashes on my iPad and iPhone when choosing pictures. Rarely do I succeed in merging two resolutions anymore.

Now crashes in iOS 11 on iPhone X

This has been a great app over the years, but hasnโ€™t been updated in two years. Itโ€™s now crashing on export on an iPhone X. Hopefully the app has not been abandoned.

The best app for amazing photos

iPhone SE after saving photo to iphone then I attempted to rotate the photo and iPhone photo app crashes.

Best photo app in the app store for HDR control and photo taking, though even after a reinstall it now just crashes over and over cant make a photo.

Solution - I restated my iPhone4s with a hard restart (holding power and home button until rebooted). Now works again. I imagine it is a memory issue between ios and this app.

A wonderful HDR app

A great app that requires a steady hand or tripod, but produces wonderful results when used correctly.

Love it!

A friend introduced me to the app and I love it! Amazing pictures even on my outdated iPhone 5s

Superb app

I've been using this for years. Sure, it has some limitations, but for landscape photos, this will make your photos much more true-to life and beautiful, IMHO.

And no, no tripod needed, normally.

Not so great anymore

This used to be the best but other HDR apps have surpassed it. It does not use the iPhone and iPad 's burst feature to quickly take a bracket. Instead, it takes 3 pictures in about 3 seconds. It uses the first picture to estimate dynamic range, and merges the last two. Its alignment of the two images is surprisingly good, and it works fast. Final output is only 960x960.

good and easy tool for years now

I use a lot of photography apps (like you probably do.) Many of them become obsolete for one reason or another, but trueHDR is still the best way to get gorgeous genuine HDR with great control over the original images as well as tweaking the end result, it's super simple even in full manual mode and always very stable.

Pretty good, significant limit

I bought this to compare with Pro HDR X. HDR apps have a problem with halos in areas of high contrast. It's ugly. You get what look like smudges in th sky and in other areas of flat color or tone. Based on sample pictures, I thought this app might do that less than Pro HDR X. It doesn't. It also doesn't create the range of exposure that Pro HDR X makes. True HDR uses only two exposures, versus three for Pro HDR X. There's not as much information to work with, so the range is narrower. On the plus side, True HDR is good at aligning images, something Pro HDR X has trouble with. This is valuable in low light, when exposures are longer and the combination of exposures happens over a longer period of time. True HDR also has more natural color, which may or may not be what you want. Pro HDR X pumps the color, so you get those gorgeous images with blue blue skies and green green trees and grass. It's a little much. True HDR is good for getting a wider range of exposure than a single shot, it aligns multiple images well, and it uses more natural color. If you want a wider range, try Pro HDR X and--if you don't like candy-store color--adjust the saturation down.
