Still the best

Still my best jpg editor for iPhone and iPad usage. For RAW it’s DXO.

Has Issues But Not Adobe

Has some annoying bugs, no white balance picker, etc…but its not Adobe so…

Uneditable

I had complained about the Darkroom app not allowing me to edit photos because it kept reverting back to the first photo on my photos folder. This was fixed after an update but now it’s back to the same issue. Not worth paying any amount if it keeps doing this every few weeks. Hope you fix this problem soon (this problem only happens on my Mac).

Can only save so many exports per day?

I have a legacy subscription of some sort; having paid for the app in a prior version previously. Now after around 5 exports per day the app locks out the export functionality and attempts to force me to pay for a higher tier of subscription? Fantastic app - but this is very frustrating and feels slightly egregious.

バグ

課金して使っています。最近、マスクを追加してサイズを変更しようとすると設定が全てリセットされるというバグが発生しています。取り消しで戻し、再度試行することで上手くいくことがありますが、スムーズに編集を行いたいので改善してくださると嬉しく思います。

Nag screens

I understand it’s frustrating when one-time purchase customers are happy with the old feature set and don’t want to get the subscription, but putting up a nag screen every other time I do an export is the wrong way to handle it.

Crashes when editing raw photos

The app crashes when editing raw photos with no way to recover the program unless I delete the photo

Wonderful but…

Darkroom is a welcomed addition to my editing stack, and I love using the app. That said, the fact that edits don’t sync between iOS and macOS versions, is a big miss and it remains to be seen whether it’s a deal breaker.

Useless

Constantly crashes for me when exporting images with borders. All my
other apps work fine.

Does not preserve preset

Having an issue lately where I selected one preset, then go back to the library, go back to the picture, select a new preset , back again to the library, back to the picture and it reverts me back to the 1st preset used. Long description but that’s the best way I can as a step by step.

I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, have the lifetime tier, but can’t seem to correct the problem. Hopefully the developer can suggest a fix.

Amazing

No critiques, great app

FOR DEVELOPERS

Please include options to change video speed, and also allow to crop video in app I love this app use it daily it’s my trusty go to specifically for the histogram please do not ever get rid of that that’s by far the reason I come to this app and have used it for years love the price it’s worth it but please allow more options for editing the footage rather than just the image quality and such thanks!

Ufff

Tone doen the aggerssive upsell

It does not do a whole lot, but I like the interface. I just wish it wasn’t a pain in the butt trying to get you to spend WAY too much on it for its insane lack of features.

Disappointing and Cumbersome

Dated and cumbersome. Not worth your time. Upgrades completely not worth it.

Stop asking me to rate this app. I’ve done it several times already!!

Just stop!

This was a fairly decent app…until a recent persistent bug.

It took one update for Darkroom to start glitching on me. While I adjusted image settings (exposure sliders, filter sliders, etc.), cropped an image, exported an image, or even switched between pre- and post-edit previews of an image, I am met with “epileptic” glitches and bugs that render the app unusable. I’ve force quitted this app, and even deleted and redownloaded the app, and this darn bug is still there. Makes the app unusable.

Guess my one time fee wasn't one time

Every Iphone App does this, don't claim a one time fee just to put all new features behind a paywall

pocket editing without the sub

Really edit the colours of your photos to create a signature look. Worth every penny of upfront cost, no subscription 🩵
