User Reviews

Overall, users praise The Darkroom Lab app for being easy to use with quick access to scans and a clean interface, and they value the lab’s reliable service and responsive support. However, many reviews highlight critical reliability problems: shopping cart bugs that prevent orders, frequent crashes and freezes, login/authentication problems, inconsistent downloads and photo ordering, and occasional payment processing failures. The app works well for viewing orders and photos, but it needs significant stability fixes to align with the lab’s quality.

Frequent crashes and freezes, including when viewing/downloading photos

Trying to develop and cart saying it’s empty + missing permissions as others have stated

Huge shoutout to the VERY responsive dev team! They fixed the app photos permissions very quickly, and the app now makes use of the option for Limited Access plus Add Photos (if user selects). Kudos!
