Description

Hydra is a camera app for iPhone & iPad with innovative capture technology that lets you take gorgeous and unique pictures even in challenging lighting conditions. Making use of the latest advances in artificial intelligence & image processing, Hydra’s independent computational core offers to overcome the physical limits of small sensors, with features such as over 20-stop extreme HDR, detail-enhancing denoising, macro shooting, crisp 6/8x zooming, and a whopping 110-megapixel resolution.

But there's more. Hydra now features a new highly capable manual mode for photo enthusiasts, an improved faster shooting for reduced artifacts, and the addition of a new normal capture mode for everyday photos. It also comes with a number of presets to define your own style as well as a completely new high-fidelity photo editor.

Last but not least, Hydra’s constantly evolving photo capabilities are your best asset to continue enjoying picture quality improvements after device purchase and to obtain state-of-the-art camera innovations all through its lifetime.


“The Hydra app […] is one of the more interesting iOS camera apps we have seen in the recent past.”
— Lars Rehm (DPReview)

“Hydra is for people who enjoy iPhone photography at a higher and more rewarding level.”
— David Robinson (iPhonographer)

“The user interface is particularly well made […] If Apple were to purchase this app, they wouldn't have to change anything in its design.”
— Florian Innocente (Mac Génération)

“Hydra […] is a well thought out and terrific performing photo app with solid features that will improve your images in challenging lighting conditions.”
— Mel Martin (Engadget)

I already paid for this app why should I have to pay again?!

Vegastowerssucks on

I never would’ve bought this app if I knew they were going to add on a subscription to the app and reset one time purchases to not work anymore so you have to buy the app again. I tried to restore my purchase and it wouldn’t restore I’m guessing because I bought it before this version of the app. I should get a redeem code along with everyone else who previously bought the app for the one time purchase to restore full functionality. I would appreciate that and then I can update my review. Otherwise, I’ll have to delete the app and never use it again.

LOST MY MONEY

Rakibur Akash on

I purchased The Pro Pack . First was fine then I uninstalled the app for some reason then installed again. But my purchase has been gone no restoring purchase i kept clicking on that restore purchase button nothing happened. They are asking for payment. But in app store page ots showing I can’t by the pro pack anymore because its allready purchased and button is greyed out.

Why bother?

Mpix123 on

Without a free trial- it’s fairly useless to test to see if it is worth cost, So it’s been deleted without ever thinking about it again Phones have been pretty good without it. If you really need a higher quality image I doubt this would help and I have full blown Canons to do the job. Time to move away from this pointless app

3 stars for keep trying

eyeperture on

Just want to be fair, I updated the app and tried low-light again. Failed as usual, the UI is still waste of screen space, I hope a professional photographer could be included in the design team to rescue this app. You need a clear aim for this app’s potential users and offer the simple but customizable UI that convincing paid subscribers. Sorry to so harsh, in my last comment I’ve made suggestions on how to improve the design, I wish someone will truly listen to your users instead saying “this is the free version … the Pro version… “ No! this app need a major overhaul.

HDR no longer working

Ducky01 on

HDR mode does not work correctly after the more recent updates.

Never going to hit 4 stars.

calix2000 on

Theres nothing in this app that warrants a subscription. There’s more and more of a trend, because of rising costs of living that people are getting fed up with apps doing subscriptions, to steer away from them. Furthermore, there are two types of apps in my opinion. Someone that make a really good app because they want to build something they’re proud of. Those people will offer a quality app for a base price. Then there’s those that only make apps because they are greedy and are money first types of people. Those are the ones that want subscriptions. The apps are never as good as the former. This app falls in the latter category. Not offering a lot to separate it from the crowd, and certainly not offering anything to warrant a subscription. Subscriptions should give you something that you can get anywhere else. It’s the only reason Photoshop subscriptions work. And it became a trend on the App Store. But it’s falling out of favor people.

I have no words

Brayden Awesomeness . on

This app is so great, you won’t believe what kind of stuff this app can do, it’s insane.

😒

غبي جدا on

I would like to buy it once But if an update is released, can I update it without being asked to pay?

Very bad experience

Dr / Ahmad Massoud on

I can’t use any photo I shot because of that cross in the middle!!!!

One exception

Jamelo2122 on

I love the app. I have one question, how to take off the watermark on the older photos I captured with your app before I purchased the subscription. I thought after I purchased the subscription, the watermark will come off my older photos. Is there a way to take the watermark off?
