4.6 out of 5
Terrible!!!!

Analogue would be awesome! Only if it worked. As of August 12 2019 Analogue has problems. The key functions DO NOT work at all. I can only see the test strips, cropping and sepia. The dodging and burning do not carry to the finished version. I spent the whole afternoon fighting with it, and now I am done and gone to another app. I will request the $2.99to see if I get it. Sorry - DO NOT Waste your time.

Terrible. Impossible to use

I spent 15 minutes trying to access my camera roll and couldn’t figure out how to launch it. Maybe Analogue has good results but I’ll never know. Delete.

Not good

It doesn’t let you import photos and the cameras are atrocious filters are ok too bad I can’t use them since the thing won’t let me import photos

It’s a Digital Darkroom

If you’ve never used a view camera before, this app might seem a little difficult to use at first. I love the fact that Analogue emulates the look and feel of shooting on film. I also love that it slows down the process of making images. I wish there was a color option because I don’t always want to shoot in black and white.

A must have app

This is one of my go to app, it’s a must have!!!

Thumbs Up!

This unique black and white app offers an amazing and fun way to convert your images to pleasing monochromatic ones. Don't expect your editing workflow to be as fast as you use the other apps since this emulates the developing of negatives in a real darkroom. It gives you better control of how your image will turn out. I would also like to commend Marcus Carlsson for coming up with a tutorial that ordinary people like me who never used a darkroom would easily understand.
This version addressed my request to include the images from my camera roll. Thank you Marcus!
I hope in the next update, the masking would be better. I noticed that my swipes aren't as clean as I expect it to be when dodging or burning even if I use different stylus. Once it's addressed, I'll change my rating to five stars!

Amazing

I’m deeply in love for Analogue and the costumer service! My favorite B&H app!

Amazing B/W

Can’t believe Analogue exists. I am absolutely amazed by what I can achieve in this
darkroom!

Excellent if you’re into black and white photography

Took me back to my old days in the darkroom great app... I recommend it

Coolest photography app I've used!

Taking and editing a single picture can take quite some time with Analogue, which helps you focus on the small details which quick snapshots night not pick up. Analogue is very in-depth with clear explanations of every feature, even with examples of the manual methods used to dodge and blur elements in a photograph. Color photos would be a nice plus but not very historically accurate. Overall a great experience, actually having to sit down and manually expose and focus every image makes you appreciate the skill needed to develop a quality final picture!

Nicely app

After every update, it keeps getting better and better.

Awesome

This is simply an amazing app. Far beyond most of the many I have tried.
Simple and clean with extremely sophisticated results.
The idea to model a darkroom in the digital realm is just plain lovely.

Not to mention that when I messed up my app by not paying attention to the system requirements the developer graciously helped me get back up in short order.

Great app

This is a wonderful way to relive old film photography. Of course you could create a much better film look in Photoshop, but the experience you get with Analogue, and the amount you can edit on a little mobile app is amazing.

Brilliant

Makes you think. Good to have pre-4x5 shot and mess with photo in post before you have to do anything!

In the darkroom again!

If you ever used a view camera or dreamed of using a view camera you're in luck...almost. Analogue emulates the olden days of using film and making prints with an enlarger. Great fun without getting your hands dirty.

Functional and Educational

This is a great tool for learning about BW processing whilst making great images.

Best believe

100% app magic

Glorious

One of the best and B&W apps--so much fun to use.

My go to app

This is the best B&W app hands down. 💯💯💯💯

Thank you for teaching me some amazing photography rules/skills

Thank you for teaching me some amazing photography rules/skills. Instructions are clearly and concisely written.

Please don’t hesitate to add more photography rules and guidelines if they are available. (Especially, while working with the Black and White shots)

My Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS),
iPad Pro 12.9” (3rd Generation, 2018, latest iPadOS)

Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application.

Features

And just like a real darkroom, you can make parts of the image brighter and darker by blocking or adding more light to the image.

At first it may feel a bit odd to look at the upside-down image and it can even be a bit challanging to know if you should move the camera to the left or right when framing the image.

For the first time, you can produce real digital negatives for your darkroom.

+ Medium-format which will produce a square image and just as the large-format camera it is manual.

For the first time you will develop the negative in a real darkroom.
