Но размер файла! Добавьте хотяби *. heif. P. S. Обнаружен bug. После перемещения фокусировочного кольца и возврате к полноразмеру изображение полностью не отображается ( уходит в черное) ### 2/5 — Lack of useful workflow *2025-08-30* Nearly impossible to start from a specific holiday album to proceed in darkroom. It does only show recents and you have to scroll… I have thousands... also no displaying of favorites as a thumbnail icon. If I click on Recents to change to an album (I guess this is what it seems to do) then the app freezes or takes forever to proceed. No option to share a specific photo (e.g. from Photos app) to Darkr app either. How interesting it might be, the idea of recreating the best annual images in a B&W app comes with a very inefficient workflow. Also, no EXIF options at the end. No date and time information can be reused from the original. ### 4/5 — Raw mode soon ? *2025-07-21, version 9.8* A very good app for B&W but raw mode will be very useful for hi-res . Does the app will be updated ? ### 4/5 — 撮影時 *2025-05-25* 擬似的な絞り優先機能があると凄く良いと思う。 今後搭載される事に期待を込めて4⭐︎。 本来は暗室アプリなのですが............... ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2025-05-14, version 9.5* App bellissima e con filtri ne di qualità la uso spesso per i ritratti ### 5/5 — 5/5 Unglaublich *2025-04-20* Die app ist unglaublich qualitativ. Die Filter so haargenau und schön. Mit Abstand eines der besten Foto apps. ### 5/5 — please make viewfinder of pocket camera bigger. *2025-04-16, version 9.4* It is too small. I need bigger one. ### 2/5 — I gün gün g *2025-02-14, version 9.1* Y ya yük y gut ### 5/5 — Good *2025-01-25, version 8.7* Like the photos! ### 5/5 — Tolle App *2025-01-09, version 8.7* Eine unglaublich tolle App, die für mich den Reiz der ursprünglichen S/W-Fotografie zurückgebracht hat. Was ich persönlich schade finde, ist, dass die Bilder lediglich im PNG-Format abgelegt werden. Und da ich meine Archive chronologisch mit automatischer Dateinamenbenennung führe, kommen beim Kopieren oftmals fehlerhafte Dateinamen zustande und somit werden Bilder oft falsch wegsortiert. Eine Möglichkeit die Bilder als TIFF oder JPEG Abspeicherung zu können, würde ich begrüßen. ### 5/5 — Dakr purchased on iPad *2025-01-05, version 8.7* Hi… great app! I bought Dakr while working on my iPad, but when I load the app to use it on my iPhone, it is not showing the app as already purchased?? ### 2/5 — Please English *2024-12-07, version 8.7* i cant read anything, i dont know for what i paid for ### 5/5 — Update this app *2024-10-25, version 8.6* Always hank when shooting ### 4/5 — Ha dejado de funcionar *2024-09-24, version 8.6* Era una aplicación maravillosa, hasta que ha dejado de funcionar...días después de la actualización a ios 18. Solo me funciona en la tablet, con una versión anterior de ios, pero en el iphone y el Macbook, ya no funciona. Espero que la corrijan...¡por favor! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste *2025-06-21* The app is useful for sure. But the user experience is the worst ive ever seen. Getting results is nearly impossible. You quit before you export since the process ist too complicated. No recommendation. We have 2025. no need to revive the complicated processes 40ys ago. You can get better tools for pros with high quantity. This app is an overkill wrapped in a time killer. Which is definitely not pro. As a pro you can’t waste time. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — revoir complètement l’interface *2025-05-14, version 9.5* je n’y comprends rien…j’ai beaucoup d’autres appli, mais celle ci est d’un compliqué !!!manque vraiment de convivialité…tout est à modifier !!! ### 1/5 — ….. *2025-04-10, version 9.3* Las cámaras siempre salen volteadas es muy difícil controlarlo para tomar fotos , compré la versión de paga y no me convenció nada por ello….. podría pedir me devolución? Gracias. ### 1/5 — Deluso *2025-04-04, version 9.2* Scatta non funziona più ### 1/5 — Fotoauswahl geht nicht *2024-12-25* Die Fotos lassen sich nicht öffnen bzw. laden so langsam, dass ein vernünftiges Bedienen der App nicht funktioniert. ### 1/5 — Upside down *2024-11-12, version 8.6* The camera opens upside down 🫥 ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2024-08-26, version 8.3* Literally the worst app EVER!! ### 1/5 — … support not exist *2023-12-20, version 7.0* I buy this app on 14pro in preveiewe i see upside down. Send to support but i dont have any feedback… ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied *2023-05-01, version 6.9* Totally dissatisfied. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Hey developers *2023-03-07, version 6.9* Hey how can I import my dslr pictures to this app. Don’t tell me it’s for only phone camera. If not I need a refund please ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wirklich enorm *2026-09-01* Wer weiß, wie ein analoger Dunkelkammer Prozess funktioniert, kommt hier voll digital auf seine/ihre Kosten. Und dann noch mit do vielen unterschiedlichen Formaten. 👏🏽 ### 5/5 — Amazing nostalgic app! *2026-08-22* I started as a wet photographer years ago and remember the excitement that first time I processed my own film and then that first black & white photo appeared in the development tray. Nothing, NOTHING is quite as rich as B&W photography and this app replicates that in the digital world almost perfectly. ### 5/5 — Erinnerungen an frühere Zeiten *2026-07-03* Es ist wie einst in der Dunkelkammer. Nur ohne Chemie, ohne Gerüche und ohne Sondermüll, aber das gleiche, schöne Ergebnis. Leider werden die Bilder nicht als JPG oder TIFF abgespeichert, was bei meiner chronologischen Archiving problematisch ist, da kein ordentlicher Timecode im PNG implementiert ist. Speichern in verschiedenen Dateiformaten wäre verbesserungswürdig. ### 5/5 — 非常棒 *2026-03-11, version 13.0* 黑白色 ### 5/5 — Darkroom memories *2026-02-19, version 12.0* Lov the app, bring me back to my bw darkroom days. Works like a real darkrooms. Have not try the cameras yet but I will give it a try. ### 5/5 — Just magic *2025-10-28* One of the ONLY photography apps I've kept... no gimmicks, fantastic results. Well Worth a download if you like photography ### 5/5 — Wonderfull! *2025-10-14, version 9.9* Wonderfull!! ### 5/5 — Infrared photos *2025-08-22, version 9.9* Hope can add… IR 590nm IR 665nm IR 720nm IR 830nm ### 5/5 — Grandiosa!!! *2025-07-23, version 9.8* Genial!!! ### 5/5 — Geniale App *2025-06-16* Der Geruch fehlt, das Rotlicht und das Summen der Zeitschaltuhr. Es macht wirklich Spass mit dieser App alles so zu machen, wie ich es im meiner analogen Dunkelkammer auch gemacht hätte. Und das alles mit den Vorzügen des Digitalen. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
