HDR³ App Reviews

This app seems to have the absolute best algorithm for creating very natural looking HDR photos based on 10+ HDR apps I have tried. It is truly magical how the brights are protected and the shadows are open while the viewer would never know that it is an HDR shot. However, the app has little or even no alignment mechanism and as such the photos are unusable. Since the developer has been dormant for three years, it looks like this will never be addressed. This is tragic, because this app could easily be the hands-down leading HDR app in all of iOS.

while taking the procees of hdr after tge shot.. it crashes hard to use when u take ur own self no selfview.. very less option.. i waste my money in this app

Not compatible with ios8. Other apps can process existing pictures, while this cannot!

Problems with new Ios7. Sometimes Impossible to save the pictures. Is now impossible to regulate Gain. Solve it please. The app is super.

this is very good HDR app that takes 3 images, Im HDR lover and have all HDR apps this one much crisper image and almost true colors. Little slow for processing, takes around 40 sec on iPhone 4S i do a HDR tutorials - search iTunes for Post-PC Digitography Enjoy

I tried the free version and after two photos I knew this was a great app and bought it immediately. Great, realistic results and the capture time is fast too. Processing takes about 30 seconds on my 4s. It could be a bit better at aligning hand held shots but HDR really should be done with a stationary camera so I wont ding it for that.

Everything is blurry. It takes 3 pictures yes and like the last review its slow. Im not a drinker and I have a steady hand but its not enough. This cant be used for objections in motion either. So unless your nick name is try pod the time between shots will make it almost impossible.

It works great sometimes and the other times it just leaves you with a blurry mess. Hopefully an update will make it more stable.

I echo the prev comments about stability — Im running an iPhone 3GS with iOS 6. Ive rebooted (soft & hard), made more disk space, etc. which got the app to finally take a single image, but I cannot seem to get it to work again.

Images looks appropriately satiated and contrasted now. Much better than version 1.0. Result looks much better than competing apps when dynamic range is extreme. UI is very shabby still. Need some UX pro to redo the whole thing. It is essential to be consistent with apples style in apples app store to be really successfully! Price could be lower to 0.99 at first then increase it when well adopted. It will earn you more than a 1.99 head start. Frames, again, gosh, I dont understand why it is relevant in this app. Even it is, the provided frames is an insult to the already amazing results. Please remove it for gods sake. You need to do know what to left behind when designing a great product.

Best HDR app in the store, and Ive tried them all!

Just got this app and was very excited to try it out, but it crashes every time I try and take a photo. What gives? If you can fix this, it sounds like this could a four, possibly five star. Please fix!!! I am very excited by the possibilities of this app.

... a LOT of potential, in fact. (As you might guess, there is a "BUT" associated with that statement.) To get a non-blurry photo, you really do need to wait until the processing bar appears. Remember, this app has to take three photos in quick succession. If you move the camera too soon, at least one of those will be out-of-focus, and result in blur. The interface could — and probably should — be tweaked to produce a more intuitive experience. Although the app may take, and process, three full resolution photos, in my tests the output seems to be locked at a maximum of 3.2 megapixels. While starting from full-scale images and then reducing the resolution is one quick way to ensure a better alignment of the components, it feels like a cheat to claim "Full 8 megapixel resolution" when the end product is LESS THAN HALF of that. There should, at a minimum, be a user setting to adjust the output size; Ive found none.

HDR3 creates great, nicely vibrant high dynamic range color. I saw very few of the halos and other iPhone HDR artifacts found with many other HDR apps. Alignment didnt work as well as many of the other top HDR apps, though. Shooting handheld, I saw a lot of slight edge ghosting in my images. Although I like the color better than most HDR apps, the alignment issues make this version of the app unusable for me without a tripod. Overall, its OK. Im hoping a fix will make it great. =M=

HDR is great, but like others have said its almost impossible to get a clear image because the app cannot successfully align all three images. In fact the sample image of someone skydiving strikes me as almost false advertising because I cant get a clear image of my desk let alone a moving subject.

Ive tried a lot of camera apps and this one is certainly one of my favorites. With a very steady hand you can get some really good results. With a tripod or flat surface you can get some really great results. I found the photo taking process to be faster then other HDR apps and like that it shows the three areas it is referencing - you can easily manual override these but I have needed to yet. This app is not for taking photos of kids, animals or action. Outstanding for landscape, skylines, sunsets, and other semi-static scenes. If you enjoy using your iphone for photography then I would recommend this app. For a few bucks you get some amazing HDR images. It also does extremely well in low light, an area where the iPhone is not very good. Bright light will get you even better results.

I was excited about this app since Ive been wanting an HDR app that uses more than 2 shots. I was very disappointed in it though. Even while on a tripod, with a cable release, I couldnt get sharp images. They wouldnt line up. I finally have up and deleted it. Maybe an update will fix this in the future.

This program is great for HDR, picture adjustments after-the-fact, and for taking three shots set of two for merging. However, I agree with the other reviewers who mentioned that the alignment of images could use some improvement. Except for that issue, this is the best HDR app that I have tried.

Ive tried all of the big HDR apps. All the other only take 2 exposures, this one takes 3, giving you all the extra detail the others miss. Only 4 stars because the UI could use some tightening up.

I love this program! It takes much nicer photos than IOS or Pro HDR, and even True HDR. I would give 5 stars if I can also take pictures with the front facing camera.
