Hello, For the last few days the app keeps crashing right when I try to add my watermark. I have cleared the cache, I have deleted and reinstalled the app and still having the issue. Please advise. Thank you Rachel

I have the same problem as described above. Ie if I open Darkroom app from iOS Photos it will, almost always, crash or just go blank. This app was working fine until Darkroom started pushing the subscription model. Firstly I have bought the app outright and it should work on iPhone for which it was designed. Secondly if I wanted to pay a subscription I would use Lightroom like everyone else. Clearly this app does not belong on iOS until the bug is fixed.

The App continually crashes on my iPad 2019. I paid for the full App and have the latest App version and iOS version too. It is very frustrating not being able to edit Photos when App crashes every 3-5 seconds .

With new upgrade I can no longer send photos to darkroom from the iPhone photos app, the following occurs 1) it crashes 2) it sits there doing nothing, see photo 3) it opens and imports photo as normal but won’t allow any editing. Note that I can open darkroom and import photos ok, however I have paid for the full app and would like it to work What t f is going on????😬 Michael
