User Reviews

Darkr is praised for delivering an authentic B&W darkroom vibe with strong results and a feature-rich, elegant design used daily. Recurring downsides include crashes and freezes, an upside-down camera orientation bug, trouble importing photos, cross-device purchase syncing issues, and limited step-by-step guidance with small UI text. Despite these drawbacks, many users value the app for their B&W workflow and learning potential, though improvements in stability, onboarding, and cross-device licensing would help.
