Let me start this review by saying the only thing this app is missing IMO is a spot healing feature. For me it would be a the perfect mobile editor with spot healing. With that said I did buy the full version of this app and I believe it is a steal at the current price. If you’re willing to make monthly payments for Lightroom or Capture One this should be a no brainer for mobile editing. The lack of selective editing brushes (besides spot healing) is a non issue for me as my editing doesn’t get too crazy these days. Highly recommend! Easy 5/5 even without the spot healing.
Had to review bc they’re really on top of everything. I emailed them a few days ago about crop related issues after updating the app and in 2 days they released an update fixing my problem. Beyond impressed ? FYI I’ve been using this app since 2018 and I’ve tried everything out there. I was also a heavy Lightroom user before now I rarely edit photos on my laptop and strictly use darkroom. I still check out new app recs but nothing even close is out there. Also, I saw someone suggest a healing tool be added and that would def be great but doesn’t affect my use bc I also don’t crazy edit anymore. But I would loveeeee an Exposure feature added to iPhones ???
Demands camera roll permission rather than simply editing RAW files.
Great. But gradin monitor support with control over the preview color space please.
That may sound like an oxymoron to say it is for serious casual users, but it has the power to be very useful as long as you don't need to edit massive amounts of photos in batches.
