Best app for opening my big Olympus raw files!
Currently, one of my favorite photo apps.
It opens AND saves BIG files. I had to play with the sharpness settings before I got good results. I am using a 3rd Gen. Retina iPad. Yes, it takes awhile...but it opens the 80MP Olympus E-M1 Mark II High Resolution Raw files! Amazing. There are some quirks, but it works. I also often use PhotoGene, which is a great and more full featured app, but this has its strengths. I sincerely hope it is further developed, and thank you to the creators!
BTW: Study the description and screen shots BEFORE you buy. What you see, is what you get. Check the developer's site, because there's lots of documentation, helpful tips and information there to help you make an informed decision. If you make a mistake, is it right to blame someone else?

I'd like a refund
This app doesn't work, no matter how I import the files, says .nef are not raw
Worst photo app
This is the first app review I have ever written. I recently purchased an iPad Pro and wanted to see how it handled some RAW files. This app claims to process raw files, and at 10$ I assumed it would live up to its claims! It has minimal editing functions, and the major reason to shoot and edit in raw- exposure adjustments are the worst I have EVER SEEN. A single positive or negative shadow/highlight adjustment creates instant posterization destroying the photo instantly. Not sure what the point of this app is or how I go about getting my money back. It is that bad.

Great Much Needed Update for RAW shooters
This app works great on my iPad Pro, and is one of the very few to work directly with RAW files. Simple and easy to use, and the results look professional and beautiful.
I'm using it with Canon RAW files, and files from my fantastic new X-Pro2 from Fujifilm. This is one of the first apps to support the new Fujifilm camera for RAW files that I've found.
Two things I would love to see added: A white-balance touch tool (where you touch a neutral color to white balance the image (maybe the app already has one that I haven't found); the ability to export the original RAW files (I have yet to find an easy way to get RAW files off of my iPad to conserve storage space once I am done with them).
As it is, it is a great a very useful app, so five stars!

Awesome App
This app is very nice. It has a lot of technical ability, extensive raw support. I just wish it could edit exif data.
excellent processor
added select all, which makes batch work really useful. hopefully the highlight/shadow problem is improved, or maybe an export dng option (more universal) so we can use another app to tweak the highlights/shadows?
Excellent App!! More functions
This app is amazing!! Please add more functions!!!
Works well at low-medium ISOs, but....
Really needs a noise reduction feature at high ISOs. Also, a batch adjustment mode would be nice, where it applies the same adjustment to several RAW files. In its favor, it seems to be the only app out there that can process the RAW file from a RAW+JPEG pair imported through the camera connection kit.

Worthless
It will not open raw nef files from dropbox. I dont need it for files from photos.
The simple but practical PhotoRAW!
New features include exporting to TIFF which preserves 16-bit image color information. Then I edit result in a full featured editor like Adobe Touch. Imports TIFF renamed raw files from EyeFi Mobi Pro. This has turned out to be a very nice and useful app indeed! Also very good and responsive customer support! Goodbye PiR*****, hello PhotoRAW!

Not impressed
Really wasn't happy with this app and not happy that I paid for an app that doesn't do what I need it to do.
Not the best Raw Convertor
I'm using PhotoRaw on an iPad Air and while it downloads and runs fine, the quality of the Raw conversions and output are sub-standard. I'm converting Canon CR2 files from older Canon cameras, so the conversion should be good to great. They aren't. Using any of the Recovery sliders (Shadow and/or Highlight) results in posterization. The skies are really bad to the point of being unusable.
The software lacks tools found in other iOS Raw Convertors, most notably noise reduction and sharpening.
The price is less than most convertors, but it lack the ability to do a few basic functions and does others poorly. Your money is best spent on other convertors, such as PhotoGene, my go to iOS app for Raw conversions and editing on an iPad.

Used to work
I broke down and bought this app, $9.99 and everything was fine. I just did the IOS8 upgrade and now my pictures won't load into it. Hope things are sorted soon....at which time a much higher rating will be coming. :(
Terrible
Nothing promised was delivered. Terrible app and very overpriced
Desktop quality decoding, interface needs work
This app decodes my Canon RAW files better than Filterstorm, Photogene, or PiRAWnha鈥攖he images are appreciably sharper, more detailed, somewhat less noisy, and have superior dynamic ranges, most of the time. It's the one RAW decoder app that consistently delivers the advantages of working with RAW files and without much more latency than I'm used to running Aperture on my i5 MacBook Pro.
On my iPhone 5S, it's impressively fast鈥攂atch import/export ends up being very useful. In terms of workflow efficiency, the problem is the user interface needs work: sliders are hard to move accurately, there's no ability to save or load presets, etc.
With a little bit of polishing, this app could be a game changer for photojournalists on the go. I can't wait for the day this thing is able to import a batch of files, apply a little bit of processing to them, and dump them into Photogene.

Well worth the price.
Works great on my 1st gen iPad Mini.
Pulling 600 stock NEF's off of SD cards/ converting and uploading to DeviantArt as stock ... it's working well for an app on a tablet.
As in other reviews - don't expect something this CPU intensive to be rocket fast (it's not), but if you enjoy sitting on the couch playing with RAW photos on a tablet then this is a good solid app for doing that.

Best for RAW
There are faster apps with more features, but none matches this one for RAW processing. Those of us who take RAW images do so because we don't want an altered view of what we shot. Other apps seem to render something that bears little resemblance to the original. This one gives a faithful result, if slowly.

Unbelievably terrible
Please refund my money. If you were hoping for tools that work like in Lightroom, this app is unfortunately not a good choice.
Just what I needed!
All I wanted was an app that ingests NEF files and exports them as high quality JPGs so that I can work with them in other apps; this app does exactly that! Thank you, Alexander McGuffog!
