Generally good
There is so much of this program that seems to be ‘just take what we give you’ - Workflows - Excellent, well, export does not support watermark. Turn of the banner on set films, rocket science. Right click a photo to export, no, you need to go to a menu for that.
The App is solid, and it fells like a iPad app moved to the Mac verse an app built for the power of the Mac.

A photo editor I can justify
I'm a serious hobbyist, not a pro, and I can't justify a monthly subscription for photo editing. Then I found Photomator as a one-time purchase. What luck! It handles RAW files cleanly, Denoise has rescued shots I'd given up on, and batch editing saves me hours. I also own Pixelmator Pro outright for the occasional layers-and-text job. Great software at a price that makes sense for someone like me.

Masking
Really wished Photomator had better masking capabilities. Otherwise really like it, and like that it isn’t a subscription.
iPad version vs. Mac Version
This app would be perfect if I could rank and cull photos stored on external drives. I do not want to import my images into the Apple photos library to use all of the features of this app. The desktop version of this app works perfectly. Not sure why the basic functionality of the app changes when using the iPad version. Note that I do realize that there are always differences between the two platforms but in this case the iPad version is effectively worthless in working with external drives. I’ve called Apple support a couple of times and while they tried, the call ultimately ended with a “we just bought this company and we’re not familiar with how the software works at this point” responses. I’d be happy to give this app an higher rating if you can share with me how to rate/flag and delete photos from within the app on my iPad Pro. Thank you.

Pulled me from Lightroom
Finally - something that’s affordable for a normal person that can replace Lightroom! Once I figured out a workflow, I’ve been very happy with it. I absolutely love how I can adjust the preview thumbnail size, which is something Lightroom can’t do. I also love how easy it is to batch edit and export. Two things I would love to see improvement on: File management system (folders for different events…. Not tied to Apple Photos), and better RAW processing (I seem to have a little more grain in my pictures with Photomator vs. Lightroom).
Overall though, very happy with it and I don’t regret the change.
