### 5/5 — iPhone app is ~~totally broken right now~~ fixed

*2026-06-12, version 2.0.4*

Android app works fine.

(I see from the version history that this app hasn’t been updated in two years. That’s just crazy.)

UPDATE:  Hey, they fixed it and now it works great.  Which is awesome because Darkroom has a great library for fames of foreign genre film.

### 2/5 — Would be good … if it worked

*2026-06-10, version 2.0.4*

It has a lot of variety. I like it … when it works. I had a hard time making an account in the first place. Had to email support. After having it for a few months, now it straight up doesn’t work. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just one or two guys who run Darkroom.

### 4/5 — Good app with good options, a bit weird with what they offer tho

*2025-09-15, version 2.0.3*

I like the app and all but there’s some antivax stuff on here so not really sure what the message is but yea

### 2/5 — Cannot Signup for an account!

*2025-06-01, version 2.0.1*

The app looks promising I discovered it on another film website suggesting options for viewing a 1930s French film. I was excited to find it on the darkroom.film website. After a few failed attempts to signup on the website. I decided to try the iPhone app thinking I could sign in with Apple ID. Again I had to enter my email and create a password.  But I still never received the confirmation email. It’s a shame because I was really excited about subscribing!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-14, version 2.0*

Can’t even make an account. When creating an account it says “Sending verification email” and it never comes. I’ve tried multiple emails with different hosts, as well as checking spam folders, also tried creating through different browsers, including their own app. It will not create an account.

### 4/5 — UPDATED - It works! No Longer Just a Timeout Error

*2025-05-02, version 2.0*

Thank you for the app update from late April 2025! The app now works and isn’t just a timeout error. It’s a good selection of hard-to-find movies, and after watching a few short things in the background while I multitasker, I can’t wait to dive into a few foreign films I’ve been looking for for months. Thanks! I can’t wait to tell people IRL about Darkroom!

### 5/5 — iPhone app is ~~totally broken right now~~ fixed

*2025-04-30*

Android app works fine.

UPDATE:  Hey, they fixed it and now it works great.  Which is awesome because Darkroom has a great library for fames of foreign genre film.

### 2/5 — Barely functional

*2025-04-28, version 2.0*

Well, I can log in now. Can’t move the slider manually. Played movies stay in Continue Watching. How is this app so broken?

### 1/5 — Just a Timeout Error

*2025-03-23*

I really want to enjoy and support Darkroom. I just signed up for it because they have some really hard to find films that I’d love to watch. As others have said, the app opens, I see a frame and some bottom menu buttons, and it immediately gives 2 timeout errors. I try to log in and get a timeout error. I wouldn’t even normally write a review, but the website has lousy functionality, too. I’ve started the same movie 7 or 8 times because the subtitles wouldn’t appear after turning them on, the play/pause button doesn’t work, and when I refresh the page in the vain hope that the buttons will work this time, if I try to slide the timer to where I left off, it just keeps playing it from the beginning except with a loading circle blocking half the screen. Please fix the site and/or the app and let me enjoy your streamer so I can tell people about the great selection and get you more users

### 1/5 — Simply broken

*2025-02-13, version 1.9*

Does not work at all. “Request timeout” repeatedly before you can even get into the app.
