Provide Alternative Backgrounds

The Darkroom lab is awesome. Absolutely nothing but respect for them and their services. It’s really cool having an app to access my photos. One thing I wish they would change is the background when looking at the photos. It would be nice to be able to change it to a solid color or just black, white, or dark grey. The current background is distracting. Apart from that, no complaints!

Could be good, but is objectively bad

Let me start with the good: An easy way to access your scans from your order, and love the ability to quickly rotate the photos. The bad: the app crashes to springboard maybe 50% of the time that I tap on a photo I want to view. Insane how often it happens. Also the inability to zoom in within the app is so weird. Fix the constant crashing and allow people to preview in full screen and zoom and you’re good to go.

I LOVE you but I’m begging for you to fix the app 😭

I saw another person also mention this frustration but the photos don’t save in the correct order when you save the whole album. Then on another note the app is buggy and will be in the middle of downloading images and freeze with 6 or 7 left to go, and because all the images are not in order, it’s a pain to figure out what pictures I didn’t get. Plz I love your film lab so much and how quickly the pictures get developed, the scan quality and everything is perfect but the app :((

Love

I normally don’t write reviews! But I love this app. It’s such a nice feature to have early digital access while waiting for your hard drive and prints. I am newer to film but love utilizing with this app and recommending to others! Definitely an adorable option that

Character limit on email address?

Tried resetting my password for the app, and it says I can enter my username or email address. However, I can’t type my full email address as there seems to be a 16 character limit.

Can’t place order

When putting in my card info I never get a complete processing. The screen just goes black. Needs a bug fix.

Great app and company, Fix saving order though!

Love this place and the app but my only issue is when you save your roll as a whole to your camera roll, it saves in a random order. Not the order that the roll was shot in. Minor gripe but would be a lot nicer if they saved in order!

Almost great

Love this app and the interface ideas, app crashes a lot when I go to Push/Pull film other than that I love it

Nice, but has issues

The lab is great but the app not so much. It often locks up and I have to close and restart. Now I’m on my second complete delete and reload, we’ll see if that works. And, when it was partly working, there was constantly a badge notice on it, that I could not remove. Hope they can improve it, would make things very handy. Using an iPhone 13+ and it always has the latest updates.
