User Reviews

Users praise Darkroom’s on-device editing, batch/preset workflows, and a strong one-time purchase option, but reliability and policy issues dominate recent feedback: frequent crashes and export failures, performance problems, and perceived paywalls that undermine the app’s value for many users.

Pros

On-device editing directly from the iPhone camera roll with the ability to copy edits, batch apply changes, and replace originals—providing a fast, streamlined workflow.
One-time lifetime purchase option offers perceived better value and avoids ongoing subscriptions.
Strong editing tools and filters with a polished interface that many users regard as among the best for mobile photo editing.
Support for custom presets and quick reuse across multiple photos, saving time.
Direct, all-in-one workflow reduces cross-device steps and makes editing feel effortless.

Cons

Frequent bugs and crashes, including during batch exports and editing, leading to reliability concerns.
Export failures and crashes when saving photos or videos (including issues with Live Photos), sometimes making exports impossible.
Subscription pricing frustration: legacy perks removed and new prices; many users prefer a one-time purchase.
Features that users expect are behind paywalls or lack clear explanations, causing confusion and dissatisfaction.
Video editing issues such as audio bugs and other stability problems when editing or exporting.

Recent reviews

Sometimes my masking gets misplaced like it’s lagging which is confusing and frustrating but most importantly after a while you can lose your progress and the app just crashes and I can’t even use it which is sad bc I loved this app for its helpful tools

App is genuinely useless, it allows for metadata adjustments *so does the native photos app* and other useless tools. No touch up, not a brush to be found.
