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. ### 2/5 — Privacy *2025-09-19, version 3.5.1* Preciously this app worked without full access to my photo library, but no longer. Bye bye. ### 4/5 — Regressions *2025-06-07, version 3.4.30* Dev wants you to move to the new app, and sadly this one has started to have regressions. If you don’t give full photos library access, the app works fine with file system + export. But every launch, the app forces you to the settings menu to adjust permissions. Similarly, after editing a photo and exporting and then saving, some options such as luminance / equal rgb in levels and gamma in curves disappear from the UI. Still better than Nitro though. ### 4/5 — Good, but has some issues *2025-02-03, version 3.4.28* A good peice of software, but needs the ability to save raw files and to remove red eye ### 2/5 — Zufalls Sortierung extrem nervig *2024-12-08, version 3.4.28* Man weiß nie welches Bild geöffnet wird oder welchem Bild im Batch ein preset zugewiesen wird. Die Datenbank hinter der App ist eine einzige Katastrophe. Es ist so übel dass es einer 5 Sterne App 3 abzieht. ### 4/5 — Great Lightroom alternative *2024-07-28* Love a decent candidate for Lightroom alternative. Sad that there is no support for external drives. Will this be looked into? **Developer response:** External drives are supported. You can edit and rate images on external drives by going to the “External Storage” tab when you are viewing the Files.app storage (rather than Photos). There are a few limitations that you may want to keep in mind. If you need more help, please email support@gentlemencoders.com. ### 4/5 — Unbeatable @ that price *2024-06-26* I mostly edit on my laptop using Capture One. But on the go, this app allows me to open any files, even the compressed Fuji. Just for this feature it is unique on ipad & invaluable. This enables quick culling on the go & that saves a lot of time. In as far as editing goes, the ipad is not a good platform. ### 1/5 — Niestety totalna słabizna… *2024-05-26, version 3.4.21* Aplikacja zupełnie nie radzi sobie z plikami DNG (formatem RAW) z iPhone 15 Pro. Wszystkie zdjęcia pozbawione są detali już na etapie podglądu. Dalej jest tylko gorzej. ### 1/5 — 编辑索尼A7CR的RAW文件时总是闪退 *2024-05-17* 如题 **Developer response:** I’m sorry the app is not working for you with the A7CR. That camera is supported, but perhaps there is something about the files that is causing the app to not work correctly. If you can email support@gentlemencoders.com, I can help you. ### 3/5 — 受损比较严重 *2024-04-13* 就算raw格式导进去了。一调画质全部受损的。lr 虽然不能买断。但基本上没有受损画质。明明拍清晰了，导去了这个软件就模糊了，50多m马上变成2m。然后调照片容易分层。还是没有细化做好。虽然买断68，但也是钱。有望做得更好 **Developer response:** I’m sorry you are encountering problems, but I do not understand all of the details. If you email support@gentlemencoders.com, I can help you. ### 4/5 — 滤镜功能。 *2024-04-10* 刚买了。请问有滤镜功能吗 找了一圈没找到 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Terribile NON COMPRARE *2025-09-07, version 3.5* sono passato da lightroom a questo per evitare una spesa fissa mensile di lightroom,nonostante costi poco,come spesa unica non mensile,vale meno di 0.Elaborazione che si fanno anche con programmi gratuiti.lasciate stare ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-04-12, version 3.4.29* Doesn’t support any of my e-mount Sony Lenses for automatic lens corrections. The interface is dated, not intuitive, and the performance/speed is slower than Adobe Lightroom and Photomator, on my iPad Pro M1… vendor refused to provide me with a refund. Disappointed that I didn’t pay attention to the other reviews, and didn’t realize it was non-refundable. Try Photomator before you consider this any further. ### 1/5 — Not Saving Ratings *2025-03-16, version 3.4.29* I was looking for an app to use for culling. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t reliably save flags or ratings. Some, yes. But I don’t want to “some” of my ratings saved. In some cases, immediately after rating an image, I swipe to another one and then go back to check the rating on the first image, but no rating is shown. ### 1/5 — Crashing on my iPad *2024-09-05, version 3.4.24* If I wanted to view a lot of images it just hung or terminated. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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). ### 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 ### 5/5 — Perfetta *2025-08-25, version 3.5* Cercavo un'app per iPad che mi permettesse di rivedere i miei scatti in modo rapido ed essenziale, senza fronzoli inutili. Questa app centra perfettamente l'obiettivo: le operazioni di base come regolare, esportare ed eliminare le foto sono pratiche ed efficienti. A differenza di altre applicazioni più blasonate, il suo punto di forza è la capacità di accedere e lavorare direttamente dalle schede SD, evitando il fastidioso passaggio dell'importazione obbligatoria in una libreria locale. Ottimo anche il set di strumenti di regolazione a disposizione, completo ma allo stesso tempo intuitivo. Per le mie esigenze, è senza dubbio la migliore app nel suo genere per iPad. Nel futuro, spero verranno aggiunti il supporto per i layer e le maschere, funzioni che la renderebbero definitiva. ### 5/5 — Exceptional! *2024-10-06, version 3.4.25* This is a must have app to process RAW images on the move, both on iPad and iPhone. It has all the right tools and processes to get everything out of RAW photos. The workflow using Apple Photos and RAW is straightforward as it is to manage the photos library in the app. The price is right with no subscription ties. I have to mention as well that customer care is of the chart as I had a technical issue and they solved it very quickly and with clear advice. Congrats! ### 5/5 — I love this app. *2024-07-03, version 3.4.23* I use this app in conjunction with Adobe Lightroom a lot. It really is worth every penny spent on it. It’s also updated on a very regular basis. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. ### 5/5 — This has the makings of a great photo review and edit app *2024-05-23, version 3.4.21* This app seems to have a lot of potential. It says it will import images from a folder on the iPad but I can’t seem to get that to work. I think I’m following the steps but after going to the folder in files with the image files, selecting them all hitting done nothing seems to have been imported or connected to RAW Power. May 22, 2024 I have learned how to access image files in folders on my iPad and also external drives plugged into the iPad. That makes Raw power a very versatile photo viewing and editing system for RAW files. ### 5/5 — Underrated *2024-04-07, version 3.4.21* In the world of subscription based services, for people that does photography here and there, a $10/month lightroom subscription seems excessive. I just want to make some few tweaks on pictures I occasionally take. I’m just surprised that this app doesn’t get the recognition it deserves ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2024-04-03* I forgot I had this app because I had it when I had the iPhone 13 Pro but since moving up to the 15 pro max I was recently playing with some Photos and got the option to open it with raw and note that I have it’s the best easy to edit Photos on the iPhone, especially raw but even regular ones. It works great, that you developers. ### 5/5 — Meilleure app hors souscription sur iPad pour le traitement photo *2024-03-26* Fonctions très complètes pour le traitement raw et jpegs. Bien intégré à la photothèque iCloud mais aussi les fichiers iOS. Fonctions manquantes souhaitables : - calques et dégradés - retouches locales simples (effacement ou copie) - gestion des modifications hors iOS : import/export des modifications réalisées en étant dans la photothèque. Actuellement si on veut sauvegarder les ajustements réalisés, il faut le faire en fichier local, puis venir sauver les fichiers d’ajustements manuellement. Dans l’idéal , les modifications sont accolées à la photos dans un fichier sidecar ### 5/5 — Great app and integrates well with Affinity apps as well *2024-03-08, version 3.4.20* This is a great app and I struggle to understand why it is not used more. Excellent integration with other editors including Affinity Photo, Designer etc. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
