User Reviews

Photomator is seen as an affordable Lightroom-like editor with a strong, intuitive UI and good iOS integration, plus cross-device use and RAW recognition. However, reviewers cite significant drawbacks: limited RAW workflow, healing/masking limitations, preset management gaps, stability problems, and several missing features (dehaze, lens corrections, batch export) along with pricing and update concerns. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable option but needs updates and feature parity for power users.
Pros
  • Seamless integration with iOS Photos
  • Intuitive, easy-to-use UI and editing/navigation
  • Affordable Lightroom-like editor with strong value
  • Works across desktop and iOS with the same price and supports offline editing
  • RAW file recognition and field-work readiness
Cons
  • Limited RAW editing workflow and advanced RAW controls
  • Healing tool is limited (no clone tool) and masking is basic
  • Custom presets can’t be named and lack iCloud sync (manual export/import required)
  • Stability issues (crashes, UI jumps, resets, login/restore problems)
  • Missing key features and workflow friction (dehaze, lens distortion corrections, batch export, external-drive support) plus pricing/updates concerns

Glad I discovered this big bug during my free trial: batch editing does not work. It gives no reason whatsoever for what the error is and when you try to report it, it takes you to the apple help desk. Honestly a total and complete waste of time.

If Apple actually did something with it then it could be good, but I have owned this for a year now and not one serious update. If you don’t want Lightroom then just get Dark Table. This isn’t it, maybe one day it will be.
