This is one the best photo editing apps on my iPod I have ever used.
500+ Apps Later, Still My #1

I have had Swankolab a few years now, since it's initial release, actually. It's the first app I ever downloaded. Back then, to my phone, but I've got it on the iPad now, too. I've purchased and/or downloaded about five hundred some-odd apps since then and I can honestly say that without a doubt, this one is my absolute favorite. I confess, I do have a number of favorites, but this one is my guilty pleasure. The colorful interface is engaging and the process is, well, charming. I also purchased all of the in-store chemicals; they were definitely worth the extra purchase. I do wish the developer would expand this app some more, maybe another small media push, too. It certainly deserves exposure.
Interesting, fun to tinker with, saves at full/original resolution!

After finding the hidden "gem" to switch to original resolution saves instead of the default 0.3mp saves, I was a much happier camper. This app is fun to play with, although for those that want a "run & gun" post-processing app that does all the work for you, you will be disappointed. There are plenty of those out there, but this one is different. This app takes time, to learn and use, is flexible in content and in workflow, and you have the choice of doing all the work or using a handful of Rx recipes provided. I'm not sure if there is a way to share receipes with other users, but if not, that would be a very cool feature indeed. Other very cool features would be to be able to change the type of paper being used, and to adjust the initial image exposure and crop, (as you might do with an enlarger), and be able to adjust the developing time the prints stay in the soup. For now, I'll temporarily abandon all of my one-step preset post-processing apps, and learn a little nit more anout concoting the solutins to make my images look the way I want them to look.
Bringing back old school

I love that it allows you to "develop" your own picture. I remember shooting with film in high school for photography class and getting to develop my art in a dark room. Brings back that old school feel. Kinda :) BUT..... It won't let me make in app purchases to buy the rest of the chemicals for the lab. Fix this. I hate being limited to the very little that it has.
Love!

I am having so much fun with the Swanko Lab, especially in combination with my photos from Hipstamatic. It's a much more organic and engaging way to touch-up photos because it isn't precise. You get to play with chemicals and see what develops. I like the ambient sound in the app which puts you in a different mental environment. The app is a fun, immersive escape, and it shows promise if getting even better with future updates. I'm using ios5.1.1 on ipod touch 4g, no bugs.
Awesome!

Stu ripped me off
I'd like to be able to give a good review, but I can't get the app to open. Stop sniffing the chemicals Synthetic!
