Do you miss your old darkroom or ever wanted to try one yourself? Analogue is the first app where you truly go analog. By developing your photos as one did in a real darkroom, you will learn to see and understand what makes a great photo. DARKROOM For the first time you will develop the negative in a real darkroom. In a fun and intuitive way you will pick the strip that has the best time and contrast. And just like a real darkroom, you can make parts of the image brighter and darker by blocking or adding more light to the image. You will be presented in a very easy way with lots of tutorials on how to use the tools. The images will only be in black and white (but you may tone them). DARKROOM FEATURES + Develop either your images from your camera-roll or taken by the Large-Format camera + Only Black & White + Stripes - As in a real darkroom you'll have to find the best strip. It will be challenging, fun and very powerful + Crop / Rotate - Both crop and rotate the image in the same tool + Dodge - Make a selected part of the image brighter. + Burn - Make a selected part of the image darker + Blur - Enhance the background with some beautiful blurriness. + Tone - Tone the images with various strength. The toners that can be used are Selenium, Cyanotype and Sepia. + Layers - You can add as many effects as you want. Each effect will be treated as a layer that can be edited, deleted and changed its visibility. + Zoom - You can zoom the image ten times. This will make it really easy to make the detailed work. + Metal - Analogue uses Metal, the drawing is fast and very fluid. CAMERA By shooting with a large-format camera where the image is upside-down you will actually get more control over the image. The camera is only manual and back in the old days you could not even zoom with the camera, you had to walk. You will be forced to slow down the process and by doing so, your photographs will be so much better. At first it may feel a bit odd to look at the upside-down image and it can even be a bit challanging to know if you should move the camera to the left or right when framing the image. Sometimes you will even laugh at yourself, but the more you use it, the less you will even have to think about it. MORE CAMERA-MODELS Analogue has now added two more camera-models. + Medium-format which will produce a square image and just as the large-format camera it is manual. + Pinhole camera which is a real basic camera where you pretty much only shoot at what you see. Nothing to set up with, nor zoom. CAMERA FEATURES + Manual - Just as in a real old analog camera, it is only manual + Shutter / ISO - You will set these individually + Focus - With a beautiful crafted loupe, you will get full control over the sharpness + Tilt / Shift - Just as a large-format camera you will be able to straight up any lines + 4x5" - The negative's size will be in the 4x5-ratio as the most popular large-format camera does DIGITAL NEGATIVE For the first time, you can produce real digital negatives for your darkroom. Analogue will make it possible to print the images in 35-mm, 6x4.5, 6x6, 4x5" or 8x10" sizes. EXAMPLES Download free examples and view them in the darkroom to understand how to fully use the darkroom to its best. SHARE You can naturally share both the negatives and prints.

Is not only another camera app. But the time invested by the author, that even his personal camera was made by him. There’s a lot of apps in the store, this one goes far for them, because it’s have had been done with knowledge. Most of all, with passion in photography, with love. ### 5/5 — Best app for film photographers *2026-07-16* An excellent film development simulation.

Impossible to use *2023-12-21* I spent 15 minutes trying to access my camera roll and couldn’t figure out how to launch it. Maybe the app has good results but I’ll never know. Delete. ### 5/5 — Thank you for teaching me some amazing photography rules/skills *2023-08-10* Thank you for teaching me some amazing photography rules/skills. Instructions are clearly and concisely written. Please don’t hesitate to add more photography rules and guidelines if they are available. (Especially, while working with the Black and White shots) My Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS), iPad Pro 12.9” (3rd Generation, 2018, latest iPadOS) Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. With Kindest Regards-BR ## Frequently asked questions about Analogue ### What does Analogue - BW Darkroom do? Analogue - BW Darkroom simulates the process of developing black and white film in a traditional darkroom. It allows you to adjust images using tools like dodge and burn, apply toning effects, and offers a manual camera interface for a more controlled shooting experience. ### What are the key features of the darkroom simulation? The darkroom simulation includes features to develop images from your camera roll or taken with the in-app camera. You can adjust contrast by finding the best 'strip', make parts of the image brighter (dodge) or darker (burn), add blur, and apply toners like Selenium, Cyanotype, and Sepia. Effects can be managed in layers. ### What kind of camera is included in the app? The app includes a manual large-format camera simulation where the image appears upside-down, mimicking older analog cameras. It also offers medium-format and small-format camera models, each with manual controls for shutter, ISO, focus, and tilt/shift. ### Is Analogue - BW Darkroom free to use? Based on the provided information, the application is available for free. There are no mentions of in-app purchases or subscription models. ### Who would benefit from using this app? This app is ideal for photographers who want to learn about or recreate the experience of traditional black and white darkroom development. It's also suited for those who appreciate a slower, more intentional approach to photography through manual camera controls. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 18.1 — 2026-09-01 Duncan Allan contacted me when he noticed that Analogue was crashing. I added him as an internal tester and we could find out the reason and that is fixed now. Thanks a lot Duncan. I have also swapped the pocket camera for a pinhole camera. I think that will be much more fun for you ### 18.0 — 2026-08-28 I made a huge update internally where I went from OpenGL to Metal. This will make sure the app is maintained for a long time in the future. I hope you like it and really understand what makes a good picture better. ### 17.0 — 2026-06-30 Fixed a bug in the large-format camera ### 16.0 — 2026-06-12 Fixed a couple of bugs that really didn't belong in the app. I hope you enjoy it. ### 15.0 — 2026-04-23 Fixed a couple of bugs and improved the darkroom. I hope you enjoy it ## Apps similar to Analogue | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Darkr - Black And White Filter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/darkr-black-and-white-filter/id1182702869) | 4.7 (3,519) | Free | Photo & Video | | [Dazz Cam - Vintage Camera](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dazz-cam-vintage-camera/id1422471180) | 4.8 (111,751) | Free | Photo & Video | | [1998 Cam - Vintage Camera](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/1998-cam-vintage-camera/id1450480287) | 4.8 (40,086) | Free | Photo & Video | | [OldRoll - Vintage Film Camera](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oldroll-vintage-film-camera/id1570093460) | 4.7 (5,581) | Free | Photo & Video | | [REDart: Retro Film Camera](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/redart-retro-film-camera/id1591864918) | 4.5 (15) | Free | Photo & Video | | [RetroCam: Vintage Film Camera](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/retrocam-vintage-film-camera/id298796414) | 4.7 (13,891) | Free | Photo & Video | ## More apps by Marcus Carlsson - [I did it](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/i-did-it/id908091602) - [Workout Pal](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/workout-pal/id1162865498) - [Darkr - Black And White Filter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/darkr-black-and-white-filter/id1182702869) - [City Art - Illustrate with map](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/city-art-illustrate-with-map/id1205311824) - [I Love Film - Grain Filter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/i-love-film-grain-filter/id1388818089) All apps by Marcus Carlsson: https://appshunter.io/developer/905479758 ## Related topics [analog bw](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/analog-bw) · [analogue](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/analogue) · [the analogue](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/the-analogue) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
