The gallery isn't exactly mind blowing, but who's gonna argue with that price. If the HDR quality is good, it would be worth it alone for that. Make some quick environments and reflection maps.

I'd like to know if someone sucks it up and buys it in order to see what the output is like...... Looks like a pretty cool little app.
