8 of 25I'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.
This is a very good app for taking pictures in bright sunlight with lots of shadowy areas. It's able to bring out detail in all the areas and blend into a nice clear picture.
Okay, if you manage to get the software to stay open (mine crashes constantly) and you manage to hold it perfectly still (even resting my iPad on a fence/chair/car/table/rock, there was still enough movement to cause blurred/double edges), and somehow you capture a descent photo, the adjustments you can make via the TruHDR software can turn your photo into a really beautiful picture without having to be a rocket scientist photographer. I know there is software out there that can identify edges and ALIGN them!!!!! Add that feature and you'll instantly improve your software a thousand fold! Would I recommend this to other users? Yes. You just better be patient. To be fair to TruHDR, I don't have their latest version, nor do I have the iPad's most recent updated software.
If you want to use this with photos from your camera, don’t waste your money. It only does 2 photos at a time, and doesn’t handle anything with a normal range of megapixels.
This has been a great app over the years, but hasn’t been updated in two years. It’s now crashing on export on an iPhone X. Hopefully the app has not been abandoned.
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.
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. iPad7,4 MPGH2LL/A iOS 10.3.3 TrueHDR 3.3.1 iPhone9,2 MN5Y2LL/A iOS 11.4 TrueHDR 3.3.1
I downloaded it, gave it permission for my photos and it tells me to choose a photo. When I do nothing happens. Total scam.
