For the price, I wish I could give it 5 stars....

Ok, so this app has limitations, but it is ridiculously fun and useful for the price. Ill break it down as follows:

Pros:
- with 2 or 3 pictures, you can get some really great results. Sometimes it doesnt work well for a paticular set of photos, but usually, I get good results. Keep in mind that you have to take pictures that are designed to be used for HDR (I do this manually rather than using bracketting).
- Sometimes puts out professional results. Ok, sometimes it doesnt work well, but other times I get great results. For .99, can you really argue with that? Sometimes I run pics through this to see if I like the results. If I do, I might run it through a better application (i.e. Photoshop CS5), but I have actually had images turn out good enough that I just kept them the way they were!

Limitations (Cons):
-The pictures need to be pre-aligned. In other words, use a tripod. More expensive (much more expensive) applications can stitch together images that are slightly different. In this case, you cannot use handheld pics at all. I expected this, but I thought you should know.
- Try using four or more photos (not a great idea) the shot will never turn out. However, three shots is a normal limitation for a lot of HDR programs. They just say any number of photos in the description, and I thought it was important to mention the limitation there.
- If a picture doesnt turn out the way you want it, there isnt too much to tweak. You can tweak a little, but for the .99 it costs, dont expect to have a lot of control over the image.

Conclusion: If you want it, just buy it. For the price, it is a lot of fun. If you only get one image out of it that you really like, isnt that worth it? None of the limitations deem less than 5 stars for the price. Enjoy!
