Fusion - HDR Camera App Reviews

This is an awesome app for creating and editing your HDR images!! Im so glad to have discovered Fusion!! I own a prosumer DSLR camera and was looking for a way to streamline HDR photography without having to use Photoshop while away from home. Wait no more, this app is your answer!! I have used Fusion for two days now. Super easy to use, just point and shoot! I would recommend turning on the anti-shake feature to increase success rate. Editing tools are simple to use. All I can say is wow!

Nice work East Coast Pixels. Really happy and pleased so far from this new unexpected Camera App. Great compliment to Phototoaster. Been happy with use,function,layout and results from this App so far…..Keep up the great work! Thanks…...

I love HDR and purchase every HDR app and always give it a try. The picture quality that can be achieved with this app is absolutely the best. But the usability is not the best. After every snap of a picture, you must go through nearly 15 adjustment options to get the picture to look nice and save it. I wish it had predefined presets and/or the ability to have user presets that I could quickly tap and save once reviewing the picture, then just be ready to snap another picture. The app vividHDR usability blows this app out of the water, but this app has the ability to create better image quality.

Pro HDR is better and doesnt crash

Ive been a huge fan of ProHDR and the X version for years, but the recent zoom bug with iOS 9 that doesnt seem to be getting any support led me to look for a replacement. Currently on a trip to Peru and didnt want to miss a shot. Fusion does everything ProHDR did better, and added all the features Id been meaning to write in and ask for like wider dynamic range, timer, anti-shake trigger, and better control of HDR effect in post. What really impressed me most is the lack of artificial gradients in Fusion that are so characteristic in HDR apps. You get more dynamic range in scenery and window shots without the false dark clouds. My only request is the ability to sync between installs on iPhone and iPad for better editing the results. Focus control would be awesome too, but thats pretty niche. Otherwise the cheapest and best upgrade to your iPhone camera available!

Of all the HDR apps available for download regardless of price, this one is by far the best, hands down. It is not your normal ‘artsy crafty’ approach to HDR. The point that sold me was the ability to offload the bracketed images for off phone post processing. The results are on a par with most of the native PC applications, S-N-S HDR, Photoshop, Lightroom etc. Very professional app. Well done.

I love the adjustments and can get a really good accurate realistic photo, which is often my goal. This doesnt have an ability to zoom the camera, like the built in Apple camera app would. Saving brackets for later adjustment is a big plus and it often takes plenty of bracketed photos when that is needed. I use this more than any other HDR photographic app on my iPad mini 3. And highly recommend it.

I have several other HDR apps. This one is the best - instantaneous HDR pics that are far better than the native ones, with balanced colors. This is the one to get!

Brilliant app, allowing quality HDR shots to be had on a whim. By far the best of its kind, Fusion delivers stunning reworks in an easy to use platform.

No regrets, after I figured it out its the best app

I dont like this app because it will not upload any of my pictures off of my photo album on my phone, so my rating for this app is a 1. Im sorry I didnt enjoy this game.

This is a great app. I havent learned all the ins and outs but its fast and allows you to go back to previous image captures.

All the other HDR apps Ive tried make overly dramatic or vibrant pictures. Fusion can make dramatic photos also, but excels at evening out the dark and light areas in a natural-looking way. It also lets you save the bracketed shots so you can use them in a desktop app like Aurora.

I really like this app. One of the things I like about it is I can get a really realistic view with the many adjustments that more closely match the naked eye view. I end up using it a lot to get photos of subtle images of skin conditions for a relative who has medical problems. Sometimes a more accurate photo is needed than you can quickly get from a standard phone snapshot. An HDR program like this can provide that extra level of detail with a little tweaking of the image immediately after taking the photo.

My "Go To" App for HDR

Definitely better than other HDR apps. The app blends 3 exposures into a single pic, resulting in better HDR shots than the basic camera app. Theres scope for improvement, but overall this app is one of the best.

Love the access via the "today" availability.

The ability to save the photos to edit at a later time is a must have feature that is well implemented! Overall a great HDR app for the iPhone!

I just have one issue with this, the yellow line (that detects if your device is straight) is not fully center when my iPhone is in landscape mode. Other than that this is a great update!

I own many HDR apps, and this is by far the best in terms of speed and quality of the pics. Works great on the iPhone. Unusable on the iPad, since a couple of updates ago broke the landscape mode. This happens both on my Air 2 and on my Pro, but not on the iPhone. I have reported this a long time ago but no action so far. Avoid it on iPads.
