Pros and cons of HDR Fusion app for iPhone and iPad

HDR Fusion app good for

Dont buy this app if you want to simply point and shoot. There is a excellent review in the macrumors forum which compares "HDR Fusion" with "TrueHDR" and "Pro HDR". The automatic mode of HDR Fusion is by far the worst of all of these HDR apps. "TrueHDR" which takes 3 pictures is much better in automatic mode. But if you are looking for manual fine tuning, HDR Fusion produces the best results of all HDR apps in manual mode.
Quick, simple, good result. Not perfect, but still pretty good.
One of the better ones out there. You just have to make sure your subject stays still or youll get a ghosting effect. Nice to have for those moments where the background is too bright.
Love this apps, I like the fact that a the end of a picture, I end up with one image, not three like the others HDR products. And the process is fast! Kudos!
Résults are quite amazing. Great addition to any other photography apps.
I am not exactly sure how it makes pictures without them being pixely, but it does. What this app does is take 2 pictures; one with the white balance in a dark area, one in a bright one. It does take a few seconds to do both. Therefore taking pictures without being still are sucky, but if youre still they are awesome! I am using an iPod 4th gen, if that helps.

Some bad moments

App Crash during Photo Library Access....no update for years... Once a great app....
I have owned and tried many HDR apps...I have never seen my camera take such dotty, pixilated photos in my life. No matter what I do, it always comes out bad, whether its on automatic or manual, or whether Im holding the iPod or having it rest against a flat surface. Horrible. Just blah. I want my dollar back. Worst dollar spent...ever. I have no clue how this app got such good ratings, I really dont. I dont know how considering how well everyone else is talking about it, but this turned out horrible for me.
Even the default iPhone cameras HDR is way better than this. I tried it lot of time with every possible settings. The output is horrible, noisy and nothing good about its HDR. Waist of money. Still looking for good HDR app.
Can you please add a feature where you can create an HDR from a photo in the album?
If you want to limit how much time you spend adjusting how the images blend, this app is good. Processes the image fast.
This app does exactly what it says. Works great on my iPad 3.
