User Reviews

Nitro Photo is praised for its capable RAW processing, Aperture-inspired workflow, integrated editing and DAM, cross-platform consistency, and flexible licensing with active dev support. Reviewers frequently cite its strong RAW engine (including compressed RAW) and Finder-based organization across Mac, iPad, and iPhone. However, there are recurring caveats about missing professional features (EXIF viewing/batch editing, soft proofing, advanced masking) and some UI/UX glitches (disappearing sidebars, fiddly curve controls, portrait-mode layout). Overall, it’s a compelling Aperture-era replacement with room to mature.
Pros
  • Powerful RAW editor with broad RAW format support, including compressed RAW (HE*), often ahead of Apple in this area.
  • All-in-one workflow that combines editing and file management, with Finder-style organization; cross-device compatibility across Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
  • Aperture-like experience and a strong replacement for Aperture for long-time users.
  • Cross-platform consistency: one app for Mac, iPad, and iPhone; seamless synchronization across devices.
  • Flexible licensing options (purchase outright or subscription) with a free trial, and a responsive developer with an active roadmap.
Cons
  • Missing professional-grade features such as EXIF viewing/batch editing, soft proofing, and advanced masking (luminance/color masks) as highlighted by reviewers.
  • UI/UX concerns including buggy UI with sidebars that disappear and fiddly curve tools, plus portrait-mode layout issues.

After the latest update I’m now getting an error when not connected to the internet and the app will not open. I hope this is a bug because if it’s by design I will delete this app immediately.

Lightroom aside, I’ve struggled to use my iPad with any semblance of an organized workflow. Photomator can flag and rate photos, but not filter by more than a single category. Darkroom might be able to do more, but it also corrupts my photos on import!! Nitro seems to take these small frustrations and handles them with ease. It also does lens corrections, which Photomator doesn’t, and gives me the freedom to easily add my own lens correction, so I can get distortion free images of my Sony lenses adapted to my Nikon body. That’s something I can’t even do on desktop with photo lab (and not without difficulty in darktable).

I have emailed the developer a few times, and he is very responsive and helpful. The product is very good, and using the “Finder” system let me move all my photos from Lightroom Classic and keep the same organization I set up in 2008.
