Used Pro HDR on the light and dark image then used Blender with the Pro HDR result and the middle exposure in the multipy mode.

Made some further edits with Snapseed

Working with phone apps is a slightly different workflow from how I would work it in PS but the basic concept is the same, I pretty much put the final HDR product on a layer and blend it with best overall exposure then play with masking and then use the Nik control points in Snapseed to make micro adjustments, like slightly desaturating the bottom stairs.
