The Darkroom Lab Reviews

The lab is great but TheDarkroomLab not so much. It often locks up and I have to close and restart. Now I’m on my second complete delete and reload, we’ll see if that works. And, when it was partly working, there was constantly a badge notice on it, that I could not remove. Hope they can improve it, would make things very handy. Using an iPhone 13+ and it always has the latest updates.

When putting in my card info I never get a complete processing. The screen just goes black. Needs a bug fix.

I found a home for my film development and have no problem with utilizing the website. Although, having TheDarkroomLab would be quite flexible and easier to access photos. It just shows a blank screen ?

Let me start with the good: An easy way to access your scans from your order, and love the ability to quickly rotate the photos. The bad: TheDarkroomLab crashes to springboard maybe 50% of the time that I tap on a photo I want to view. Insane how often it happens. Also the inability to zoom in within TheDarkroomLab is so weird. Fix the constant crashing and allow people to preview in full screen and zoom and you’re good to go.

Bummed by the new update which makes a sleeker looking app, but unfortunately loses some aspects of the old app that I loved (plus I loved the low-key version - it was very simple looking and functional). Now when you download your photos to your phone, it doesn’t size them for social media as the old version did. So photos are too big and get cropped on Instagram, for example, and you need to use a second app if you wanna edit it to make it fit.

First, let me say I LOVE DarkroomLab. They have amazing service and are my go to developers for 35mm film. However, I can’t seem to log on to TheDarkroomLab . I’ve changed my password multiple times and verified by logging into the website but TheDarkroomLab still says it’s incorrect. This makes me sad because I was so excited to use their mobile app.

That being said, I will continue to use the website until this error can be fixed.

I changed my password for this site. And I changed it, I try to log in and it end up saying it is incorrect password/username.

Tried resetting my password for TheDarkroomLab , and it says I can enter my username or email address. However, I can’t type my full email address as there seems to be a 16 character limit.

The three stars is only for TheDarkroomLab . Every time I try to download a full album it always misses a couple then I have to go back and re dowload the pics it missed

I saw another person also mention this frustration but the photos don’t save in the correct order when you save the whole album. Then on another note TheDarkroomLab is buggy and will be in the middle of downloading images and freeze with 6 or 7 left to go, and because all the images are not in order, it’s a pain to figure out what pictures I didn’t get. Plz I love your film lab so much and how quickly the pictures get developed, the scan quality and everything is perfect but TheDarkroomLab :((

The Darkroom lab is awesome. Absolutely nothing but respect for them and their services. It’s really cool having an app to access my photos. One thing I wish they would change is the background when looking at the photos. It would be nice to be able to change it to a solid color or just black, white, or dark grey. The current background is distracting. Apart from that, no complaints!

Love TheDarkroomLab and the interface ideas, app crashes a lot when I go to Push/Pull film other than that I love it

I’m just getting back into film photography after about two decades of shooting digital. I’m so happy I found The Dark Room as my county no longer has any options for developing film. I’m even happier with The Dark Room app. It is Easy to use and basic in all the right ways. TheDarkroomLab keeps me notified and up to date on all of my orders and easily lets me view my digital prints.

I’ve used Darkroom for several years now to develop my 35mm and I love the snot out of them! Can’t recommend highly enough and it’s my favorite part of finishing a roll of film 😂 So excited for the updates they just announced. Keep up the great work ❤️

I was thrilled to see that my go to lab, The Darkroom, had made an app. TheDarkroomLab is simple and easy to use. The layout is user friendly.

I was extremely happy to see all my previous rolls on TheDarkroomLab . Seeing all the untouched pictures together reminded me of the feeling I have when I first get the notification from the lab.

I am having an issue currently with the ordering system. Since I’m new to TheDarkroomLab , I might be doing something wrong myself. Then again, since this is the first iteration of TheDarkroomLab , I’m sure it will be fixed promptly.

Thanks to The Darkroom for making an app!

I’m really pleased with the customer service and high quality work from the lab! TheDarkroomLab is great for viewing images!

I normally don’t write reviews! But I love TheDarkroomLab. It’s such a nice feature to have early digital access while waiting for your hard drive and prints. I am newer to film but love utilizing with TheDarkroomLab and recommending to others! Definitely an adorable option that

Been using The Darkroom for years. Excited to try their app

love that you can see all the rolls you've gotten developed!! rolls on the website expire

It’s about time ! Perfect app for the perfect lab.
