## Review summary

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
