User Reviews

Blackie offers standout BW image quality and flexible editing workflows, but suffers from recurring stability, UI, and compatibility issues across newer iPhones, along with save/import/export problems that affect everyday use.

Pros

Excellent black-and-white image quality with convenient presets.
Flexible workflow: shoot inside the app or import from the camera roll; post-edit color adjustments.
Long-standing, well-regarded BW camera app with a loyal user base and ongoing updates.
Widely praised for its BW effects and editing controls.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability, including crashes on launch and photos not saving.
UI/UX issues: small icons and fonts, making the app hard to use.
Inconsistent compatibility with newer iPhone models and iOS; not reliably optimized for XR/Xs/Max.
Import/export/save problems such as not accessing the photo library, cropping imported images, and sharing to Instagram.

Recent reviews

I wrote my first review for this in 2019 and have been happily using this app since from an iPhone 8, to 11 Pro, and now 15 Pro. Perfect like camera app. My only ask… possible to custom set or clear the default ‘comment’ that is set on every photo? The statement “Processed by Blackie” in the metadata for every photo isn’t great. Pretty awkward.

Like most apps, you have to experiment to see the possibility. Assumes you are wanting BW photography and the more you use it the vision of your minds eye begins to open up.

setting a frame to black does not persist when the application is closed and reopened. it automatically reverts to white. it would be great if this could be fixed.
