Redesigned our App Icon for a fresh new look, and used the opportunity to change the accent color in the app to our new signature Crimson Red. Added extensive right-to-left language support. IPad Only Changes.
Viewer. Added buttons to quickly Undo and Redo, and to see the unedited photo. Added a button to quickly zoom out if you were zoomed in.
Added a button for the Meta Data tool. Editor. Added a persistent button to all tools to show and hide the edits of the tools. Added a persistent button to all tools to Reset all edits in respective tool.
Transform Tool. Expanded all of the options “hidden” behind taps inline, originally optimized for the much smaller screen of the iPhone.
Thinkman, Restored previous purchases Not the most intuitive means of restoring previous purchases but FINALLY found the settings menu and now all is well. 3 stars because this should also be a full resolution iPad app. Take care of that and this review goes to 5 stars.
After the developer responded to my 3 star review saying “Apple doesn’t make it very easy for us to restore purchases”, I have to add that this has never been case with other Apps – in this case it was a matter of finding the settings to be able to do this. My feelings are that developers need to standardize on the look and position of the settings gear! I upped my review by a star as they noted they were working on an iPad version, even though I feel it should have been developed for that in the first place. If this happens, I’ll make it a 5 star review. Developer Response, Thank you for your honest review. Apple doesn't make it very easy for us to restore purchases, so yeah you have to go to settings to do this.
As for iPad, we are actively working on it. We want to do it right. Thinkman, Restored previous purchases Not the most intuitive means of restoring previous purchases but FINALLY found the settings menu and now all is well. 3 stars because this should also be a full resolution iPad app.

For years, I have made “social media” posts by editing JPG files with less than ideal image quality. Frustration finally led me to search for a better option than the stock Nikon wireless mobile utility and Apple Photos on my iPhone. That’s how I came across Darkroom (and ShutterSnitch by a different developer which allows me to download RAW files in bulk off of my Nikon camera). This combination is incredible; I only wish I would have discovered it earlier. Note to developers: I just sent an email to you with a couple of suggestions that might make your 5 star app even better ? Developer Response, Thank you for you kind and thorough review! Itsmechris, Excellent App!
