Where do images live?
Do the images get copied into apples photos library or do you link images to root folder like Lightroom? Google search says it copies into Apple library taking up cloud space and this app being a glorified photos app? I want to link to folder of my choice like Lightroom if that possible? If not not worth buying for me.

Replaced Adobe Lightroom for me, and amazing on Duo!
I’ve been using Darkroom for years, watching it slowly turn from an iOS-only JPEG editor into a full-blown cross-platform Adobe alternative. If you use iCloud / Apple Photos to store your photos then Darkroom’s integration is seamless, effectively becoming better than Lightroom as there is no second library to manage or export from… everything happens natively.
The Mac version is great for longer editing sessions, but with my own photography now mainly done on Fujifilm cameras I use my phone more for quick edits on the go. Darkroom has always been great at this for the reasons above, but I bought the Duo with larger on the go editing in mind and Darkroom delivered on day one. The Duo app is amazing and takes mobile editing to the next level… and single-handedly justifies my £2000 phone. 😅
I kept my Adobe Lightroom subscription unnecessarily for years, but with Darkroom now offering (in my view) the best Apple-native alternative on both Mac and iOS, I have finally cancelled and gladly moved on from a company increasingly obsessed with championing the biggest threat to the very creatives they fleece. So long AI-dobe, if you need me I’ll be in the Darkroom. 😎

It offers so much.
Unfortunately isn’t very free, but gives seven day free trial to mess with and learn. I absolutely love the freedom and that I can save my preset/LUT! I may start paying for this.
IAI need a editing app
Love the app, crashing on open every time
Something with the latest update broke on iOS 27.2 and it’s hard crashing out to the home screen immediately on launch every time now. Flagging so this gets fixed and I can start using it again, will edit my review at that time.
While I’m here: another more recent update to align color temp with the K scale might be a good idea, but the jumps are way coarser now and I’ve lost a lot of the fine-grained control of that setting that I value this app for.

Doesn’t work on OS 27.2 MacBook
Tried the app and was very disappointed with the navigation and lack of user-friendliness. Don’t waste your time.
