How much does Darkroom cost?
Darkroom has several in-app purchases/subscriptions, the average in-app price is £14.19.
Excellent app, would give it five stars but it’s a bit buggy since IOS 18. I have had freezes and other issues especially when using the Luminosity Mask. Sometimes I get a faint double exposure if using this mask more than a couple of times on one image and the slider can be erratic using the slider selector. I use this mask almost exclusively on a daily use and wish the next update will include the invert, vignette and fade slider as at present are missing. Nevertheless a great app very recommended. Used with iPad Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Just started to use it, brilliant
Reduced functionality
Features that used to be available to me are behind a paywall.
Possibly adequate
This is one of those free apps with in-app purchases that bombards you with so many nagging prompts to buy it that as of today (19/9/2024) you can’t actually try it out so see if you like it because having dismissed the first “GIVE US YOUR MONEY NOW” banner you get a smaller “Give us your money now” banner. Who knows? Frankly a poor marketing technique if you ask me. It may an excellent value photo editor, but all it is at the moment is, as Douglas Adams put it “an electronic sulking machine”. When they unlock the basic features you and I will be able to find out.
Very buggy on MacOS
Switching between photos, the editing experience, working with layers etc is all quite buggy still on MacOS, it does not feel like the app got properly ported to a mouse-native interface style well.
The app also can stop working entirely quite often, for example if you recover a deleted photo it cannot deal with that and prevents you from doing any further edits to it.
Very limited editing
I would expect more from a photo editing app especially if it wanted to charge me for it.
Had to amend my original review
I truly love everything about this app, but the only thing preventing me from cancelling my Lightroom subscription is the lack of detail and noise editing, there’s quite literally nothing. Great for the basic side of editing, but I can’t tell you how much I wish you could adjust things like clarity, sharpening and noise reduction. Due to this, I can’t agree that it’s a premium photo editor, but what it does have is great!
*EDIT
Horrifically unstable on Mac and not much better on iOS (which never used to be the case). For some bizarre reason, I can't make anymore albums now. Tools will inexplicably stop working whilst in the middle of editing an image... I want to love this app so much. I bought a lifetime licence. Unfortunately, my frustrations have led me to uninstall.

The most recent study in a study published last month found
Unbelievably simple and so very good!
I cannot believe I hadnt heard of Darkroom before ... I have tried pretty much everythingbefore settling with ON1 (and sometimes Capture One) and Photos.
Darkroom is so very good and so very easy to get the most amazing results. It is responsive and rock solid with results instantly copied to Photos RAW and JPG from my Fuji XT-5 or E-3. No need for any Apple user to look further than this wonderful software.
Now completely unusable stormy needs
This app just crashes whenever you try to add a subject mask which is the only reason I use it and decided to buy a licence for it. No response from the developer when I emailed either! Have tried removing the app cleaning the original install and then re-stalling but problem persists. Have had to reluctantly start using Lightroom again until this has been rectified but don’t know if I’ll switch back if this is indicative of the future experience to expect from this APP/developer.
