"Fusion sets the bar on all other HDR apps" - Combo Apps: Mobile Extreme Editing
"shows you what truly great HDR photos can look like" - iPhone Photography School
Fusion creates HDR (high dynamic range) photos by capturing different exposures and then combining them into one perfectly exposed photo. The result is an image that overcomes the limited range of a digital image sensor and reflects what the human eye can actually see.
By taking advantage of the new burst mode in iOS 8, Fusion takes three bracketed exposures in 3/10ths of a second. The brackets can be automatically calculated based on algorithmic analysis of the scene, or manually specified. Exposure can be locked using a spot meter mode similar to a DSLR and can also be manually adjusted. A histogram gives you the technical info you need.
You can save multiple shots to the recent sessions list or go directly to the Fusion editor. The editor instantly aligns the photos to remove any slight camera movement and then presents an initial fused result. Then Fusion blends the best exposed areas of the under exposed and over exposed brackets, with the main bracket.
The shadow/highlight controls allow you to get the look you want. From subtle lighting improvement to intense HDR. The editor includes all the adjustments you'll need to create a beautiful photo. Basic lighting adjustments and white balance as well as color controls.
The session list stores the bracketed photos as you shoot and allows you to go back and re-open sessions for editing.

Just kills ProHDR/X and all the others
Nimpoc
I've been a huge fan of ProHDR and the X version for years, but the recent zoom bug with iOS 9 that doesn't seem to be getting any support led me to look for a replacement. Currently on a trip to Peru and didn't want to miss a shot. Fusion does everything ProHDR did better, and added all the features I'd 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 that's pretty niche. Otherwise the cheapest and best upgrade to your iPhone camera available!
Best HDR iOS, hands down.

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.
Best HDR camera!

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!
Well done!

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.
This app fusion

I don't 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. I'm sorry I didn't enjoy this game.
Fast HDR!

This is a great app. I haven't learned all the ins and outs but it's fast and allows you to go back to previous image captures.
A fine hdr product

I love the adjustments and can get a really good accurate realistic photo, which is often my goal. This doesn't 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.
By far the best HDR app!

All the other HDR apps I've 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.
