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.

Easy to use with an intuitive layout
Quick access to scans and order history
Ability to rotate/view photos quickly
Responsive dev team and timely fixes

Cons

Shopping cart/ordering bugs (cart often shows empty, preventing orders)
Frequent crashes and freezes, including when viewing/downloading photos
Login/authentication problems and password/reset issues

Payment processing failures (screen goes black or incomplete)

Recent reviews

I’ve used the darkroom app for a long time with no issue but latest release crashes when I attempt to download a photo from the album. Could possibly be because I’m on an iPhone 12 and that’s an older phone. Everything else works fine. It has access to photos but still says it’s missing permissions.
