  • Confused and fiddly controls

    I like the idea but firstly it was advised for 0.99p to unlock all features, but then charged £1.99

    And then I don’t think the instructions are clear enough, I don’t understand how to use it properly after a long play with the app (and I’m an engineer)
  • Black and White Re-eduction

    I’m enjoying my trip back down memory lane and taking up darkroom bnw photography once more with this neat photo app. What’s more, Marcus is I great source of help should you get stuck, after reading his free tutorials. So don’t be afraid of this old/new technology, be brave and jump in. It will reward you no end in great bnw images if you stick with it.

  • Great app!

    I have had this app for a couple years and it continues to get better!
  • Brings me back to my darkroom days

    I’ve only just started playing around with this but I think it has great potential. I think anyone that has ever done traditional black and white darkroom work will feel right at home. It is a great way for others to feel what it was like without the chemicals! There are also a lot of good pointers about improving your photos with compositional pointers.

    I'm so glad you like it. And if it brings back your old darkroom-memories, I know that I have done a great job :)
  • Stand out

    I’ve done some dark room fun in college, loved it, since then looked for apps that offered the same classic looks to digital media, and I found this beauty! I adore this app and if I could support it multiple times, I would, I love it! Easy set up, controls, and a great tribute to dark rooms in this digital age. Keep up the great work!

  • Great app with a newsletter that’s actually useful

    I recommend this app highly, it has a bit of a learning curve but rewarding in the end and I found it fun to learn how best to use this app. I used the real physical equipment back in my college years (before digital took over) and this does a great job of mimicking how professional photography was done before everyone could do it with an iPhone and a few apps that do everything for you. This allows for more precise controls on your exposure especially in the darkroom. Great job to the developer and thank you very much. Oh...and In-app purchases are worth it for the most part. Take your time to learn it, you won’t regret it.

  • Great idea, doesn’t work

    Great idea! Couldn’t figure out how to use the app.
    Could never get to the point of having prints

    Thanks a lot. Comments like this really makes my day. Since I'm alone, developing this app it's so nice to know that you as a user like it :)
  • Eh

    It’s a really cool app but sometimes the pocket camera won’t turn on

    Developer Response

    I'm glad you like it. I'll see if I can find out why it won't turn on. Thanks for your honest review.
  • Seriously

    Come on we are in 2019, why digitally simulate a darkroom workflow when you have really great photo editing apps for iOS out there already. Digital is not a negative going to a paper and shouldn’t be treated as such as it just makes the digital workflow way slower and a bigger hassle. If you’re interested in Darkroom techniques it’s not that expensive to buy an enlarger and the trays plus liquid. And if you do black and white it’s really easy to also develop the film yourself. Digital is digital.
