Comments on Smart HDR for Android

★★★★☆ Eduard Tone · Aug 31, 2023

The filters are great, and you can have superb pictures. I would've given 5 stars, but I really don't understand why the developers are not getting this app to new and modern levels in terms of features and usability. It's like a 7-8 yrs old app and that's a pity.

★★★★★ Randall M. · Mar 4, 2023

This is a superior filter app that I've been using for years. High recommend purchasing this app. Everyone loves my photos. You can add a lot of different filters, or be very subtle using the filters. 🇮🇪👏

★★★★☆ Zum Tran · Jun 13, 2024

Takes good photos. Things I'd like to see: Auto save before edit, or separate the camera from the editor. Save settings, I have to pick 100% every time. Thank you

★★★★☆ Ramkumar Panjanathan (Ramboss) · Apr 5, 2025

Awesome app.I need to explore this a lot. The hdr effects are so cool it seems. Earlier I purchased this app May be 3 or 4 years back for 150 or 180 rs I think but didn't get the response once my amount gets debited from account. This time I purchased and the payment got successful It could have been better by unlocking more effects for premium users and option to add text will enrich this app.

★★★★★ Marty Strzeszynski · Nov 21, 2022

This is the best HDR app I've ever come across so many options all in one package.

★☆☆☆☆ Scott Neulist · Sep 16, 2023

Just adds filters to images to imitate HDR, opens default camera to take photos

★☆☆☆☆ James Digriz · Sep 8, 2023

Absolutely worthless, all this app does is open the native camera app, I paid $6 for an app to open an app that doesn't do HDR. Absolutely trash

★★☆☆☆ Afo Toko · Sep 16, 2023

Additional EULA to accept. That's strange. Strange is bad. Uninstalled.

★☆☆☆☆ santosh rajat · Aug 14, 2021

Pathetic. Time waste. Don't Install. Unless you want only ad. it's not a camera. Its hdr editor. You can only browse photos and select. They will edit that with couple ads in between

★☆☆☆☆ Muhammad Menhajul Islam (মিনহাজ) · Jul 28, 2023

Doesn't capture HDR images, just capture a normal image and add filters with high clarity to achieve HDR look. That's misleading
