Simple to use for myself and customers using the booth\! > > **Cons**: The odd bug now and again, but developers are on it with online fb chat and support\! ----- ### "Support is horrible\!" — 4.0/5 > **Yolanda** | *16 December 2024* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The quality is good but takes a lot of time learning the software. > > **Cons**: Support is horrible\!\!\! They are available normal business hours and closed on the weekend. No after 5pm support. Also I have spent so many hours wasted on just waiting for a responded email. The communication is through email which can take an entire day to resolve one small issue. I have so many issues darkroom booth that can’t seem to get resolved. I leave. A message and hope someone returns my call. They have the ability to remote in, but won’t and if they do it can still take an hour just waiting. They will send links to more links of reading material, which is not support. I can find reading material on my own. > > Hoping to switch all my software to another company since i dislike the support department. ----- ### "Scammers look out" — 2.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *2 August 2023* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to set up, but that's where it ends. > > **Cons**: They take a huge portion of your revenue, and on top of that, they make you pay a monthly subscription just to access basic features like site analytics. > > They locked me out of my account mind you while I had money in it, wouldn't take the site down, wouldn't help me get back into my account to get my money. Customer support would be like "we talked to our engineers about it." Then silence. I would follow up days later, "we've talked to our engineers." Then silence. What a joke of a company. ----- ### "Quick, easy yet powerful" — 5.0/5 > **Bernard** | *26 June 2023* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The mobile versions are a great benefit in my workflow. The software is a low cost tool for photo editing on the move. > > **Cons**: I can think of nothing negative or missing from Darkroom. ----- ### "Darkroom helps my workflow, helps my business grow." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 January 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What isn't there to like about this software? Overall, the program as a whole is clean and runs beautifully. The way things are organized inside this program makes it so much easier to edit. > > **Cons**: There are some limitations to editing, which can be great at times but when you need more advanced editing, it's not there. You'll have to go into photoshop for that. > > I'm able to get everything to my clients in a timely manner, and have no problems with anything. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/221569/darkroom?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/221569/darkroom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
