### 5/5 — Custom LUTs + amazing RAW workflow

*2026-07-01, version 3.5.5*

I have been looking for an app like this for so long: one that works directly with RAW files (I have having duplicate photos) and allows for custom LUTs, while keeping everything syncing across my devices. Not sure how I missed this one. It is soo good! It allows you to import your own LUTs without having to save a separate JPEG. This feature alone is worth the cost! This is going on my home screen and I will never use the Apple Photos or VSCO again for doing any edits to RAW files. So happy with this purchase! It’s obvious the developer is amazing. Wow, so impressed!

Improvements:
The crop tool has it’s own OK/Cancel buttons at the bottom of the UI, and it should just work with the OK cancel at the top of the UI. This is bad UI design in my opinion, and it’s confusing.
I wish the UI controls were more iOS native (UI feels a bit web-app-ish, no UI animation).

### 1/5 — No database backup.

*2026-03-12, version 3.5.5*

Lost database for an unknown reason. This app has no backup whatsoever. Didn’t restore DB from cloud. Lost all my edit and rating.

Edit: I process photos on a SSD and after viewing a few dozen photos, the app systematically crash and I have to restart it to continue working. It’s does it all the time after a while.

### 1/5 — No database backup.

*2026-03-04, version 3.5.5*

Lost database for an unknown reason. This app has no backup whatsoever. Didn’t restore DB from cloud. Lost all my edit and rating.

### 2/5 — Durchdacht und ohne abo, aber keine masken

*2026-02-15, version 3.5.5*

Great but offers no masks which is crucial.

Ich habe ca 10 RAW editing apps durchprobiert und die meisten haben ein Abo model und sind nicht besser als RAW Power. Im gegenteil, die features die RAW Power bietet sind alle durchdacht und geben einen viel kontrolle. Vor allem externe LUTs zu laden und eigene zu speicher ist cool. Das einzige echte manko ist, dass es keine Maske gibt, was andere apps teilweise bieten. Damit wäre RAW Power für mich perfekt To the developer: please add the ability to add masks!

### 4/5 — 잘 쓰고 있다

*2026-01-08, version 3.5.4*

아이패드에서 사용한다.  애플 사진앱과 연동이 좋다. 앨범 라이브러리를 그대로 볼 수 있다. raw power에서 사진을 수정하면 애플 사진앱에도 바로 반영이 된다. 기본적인 사진 보정 기능도 충실하다.

### 1/5 — Getting a refund (Unusable)

*2025-12-24, version 3.5.4*

The worst purchase I have ever made. It’s unusable.

### 1/5 — Constantly crahses

*2025-11-27, version 3.5.3*

App crashes every few minutes on iPad Pro. I’ve had this app for a month and tried it multiple times, each time I have given up on trying to use it after 10 minutes. 

Within 10 minutes of use the app would crash at a minimum of 3 times, each time having to manually restart the app and loosing where you were up to in selections. By the time I find where I was up to selecting, the app crashes again. App is unusable in this state, extremely frustrating especially for a paid application.

### 1/5 — Worst app EVER

*2025-11-26, version 3.5.3*

Instant regret! Everything is wromg with this app!

### 1/5 — Error on launch

*2025-11-06*

Displays an error message every time on launch and forcibly redirects you to the Settings app unless you grant it full access to every single photo and video you’ve ever taken. Despite the claim that this access is necessary, it actually works completely fine with access restrictions in place if you return to the app without granting it full access.

### 5/5 — La mejor

*2025-10-18, version 3.5.3*

Me encanta muy amigable y es de los mejores app de fotografíale encanta de las mejores la mejor y yo tengo tiempo con ella con esta aplicación y he visto una evolución positiva. Yo la recomiendo ampliamente y también su aplicación. La de Halide de fotografía es muy buena
