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.

It keeps closing when I try to export images and most of the time I can’t even export because it keeps saying error
