Glitch
MeerYo cool app, but every time I touch the curve, the whole menu glitches upwards, so if it worked it would be good, but it has a seriously annoying glitch
3door Wil*******01/02/2026Good price for the functionality - Limited compared to Lightroom
MeerShort story: Photomator might make me move away from Lightroom.
Long story:
After Apple shutdown Aperture, I moved to Lightroom. Lightroom comes at a somewhat steep price for the frequency of my usage. Living without the functionality is however a worse option.
Come Photomator. For the first time in years, I found an application that might replace Lightroom on my MacBook. I use Lightroom primary to manage photos, not to edit them. Photomator tries to address the same needs. So, how successful is it for my use cases? I am hitting bugs and missing features. Lightroom is clearly the better application. But, are the problems/missing features a big enough deal to pay 4 times the price of Photomator? In general, Photomator feels snappy and does its job. The fact that it picks up changes on the filesystem live feels nicer than the synchronize function in Lightroom.
When working on the filesystem, there is no equivalent to the Map option. Although a workaround can be to multi-select photos and hit (i).
There is a bug where the (i) option frequently doesnât show the EXIF information. You need to restart Photomator to get the information to show.
What is really missing for me, and what might keep me on Lightroom are these things:
1. In Lightroom I can change the names of photos following a pattern. I find the normal photo names useless and want to at least have the date/time as the name of the file. I typically add something that describes the occasion to photos that are part of a bigger thing. I really miss this option.
2. While file management is available in Photomator, it is very limited. For example, I canât move folders. When I create a new folder (no option click but menu driven), I donât immediately get the option to name the folder. The folder may even be hidden as it could be inside another folder that I havenât opened yet.
When these two missing features would be there, moving from Lightroom to Photomator would be a no-brainer for me.4door Art*******31/01/2026Ventura
MeerI was curious about Photomater and toyed around on my iPad (where I could not find a search window for pictures?). But it seemed like a goog alternative to LR. Then I bought the lifetime subscription.
On to my iMac to download the desktop version there... Turns out you need Ventura, and my iMac 27" does not support it. So I need to find a was to cancel my lifetime subscription. Real bummer.
Would have been nice it this was made clear in the App Store.2door Vic******04/01/2026Very nice
MeerI like photometer a lot, the perpetual license model is a big win! However, I tried to contact support for a minor issue (Fujifilm X-T30 iii RAW support) and found no way of contacting support. It’s almost as if Apple has forgotten that they have aquired these great products.
4door Rem******11/12/2025Best Apple photos integration ever
MeerHighly underrated, but their app has some very advanced technologies unique in the market.
Stop with complaining about subscriptions and happily pay your money for some unique technology that no other app maker can afford to develop.
- Deep integration with Apple photos app means Non Destructive edits, preventing duplicate photos keeping your library clean! This is so underrated as none of the other filter photo apps can do it. They create a big mess in your photo library. With Photomator you just keep one clean photo where the edits can be reverted anytime without having to save duplicate photos.
- They built a unique photo editing pipeline based on Apple technologies resulting in a very wide range of supported photos with qualitative edits.5door App******30/11/2025Great app - if you’re online
MeerLove this app, especially on my iPad. Frustratingly not possible to use offline. So no editing of photos on long flights or trips without connection. Pity.
3door The*******12/11/2025Disappointing app
MeerBad app, try to magically remove stuff. Your photo will look just bad. Not worth any money.
Now they are going for subscription model, so not worth it.1door H8 **07/11/2025Since Apple no more innovation
MeerSince apple is the owner of this app, you need to pay for a subscription and less updates and innovation. Everything a big company to touches is going to die.
1door Da *******18/09/2025Was great
MeerI bought the app but now i have to pay with a subscription to edit me photos! Shame on the creators!
1door Jac******13/09/2025Prima app!
MeerVoor mij een goed alternatief voor de Adobe-mogelijkheden tot fotobewerking. Toegegeven: ik ben niet van het professionele Photoshop-niveau maar wil wél zo nu en dan een vakantieplaatje verbeteren…
5door App*******12/09/2025Forced subscription now
MeerBefore apple bought it was a great free editing app. Now you have to pay subscription. Only 1 star from me. Very disappointed.
1door Arn****31/08/2025Can’t find lifetime subscription option
MeerGreat software but after using the trial version I can only find the yearly subscription option. I don’t like the subscription and would like to buy the lifetime sub. Please assist in doing so
4door Cal*******18/08/2025RAW nieuwe camera niet ondersteund
MeerToe ik dit programma gebruikte met mijn oude camera was ik enthousiast, fijn programma, intuïtief, maar helaas heb ik er nu niks meer aan want het RAW-formaat van mijn nieuwe camera wordt (nog) niet ondersteund. Wanneer komt dit beschikbaar? OM-System OM-5 Mark II. Dan kunnen we weer naar de 5 sterren.
2door Dil*******08/08/2025Just a Breeze!
MeerI have used many software programs for editing my pictures. The fact that it opens and works on your native iPhone pictures straight out of camera is truly amazing.
5door Ton*******13/07/2025unacceptable trial bait
MeerCan’t get a trial without also agreeing to an automatic paid renewal. So if you forget to cancel you’re stuck with paying. Not how trials should work. Do better.
1door Anoniem14/05/2025Manipulatief
MeerAls je een foto opent maakt Photomator m direct wat donkerder waarna je later een extra groot resultaat ziet via de knop ML. Niet bij elke maar af en toe zoveel dat het opvalt, vooral bij donkere oppervlakken zoals een zwarte jas. Het resultaat is vaak ongewenst, alsof de zon lekker scheen terwijl het helemaal niet zo zonnig was. Leuk als je jezelf en anderen voor de gek wilt houden. Het beeld uit mijn camera is realistischer en ik prefereer de werkelijkheid en geen verfraaid beeld, kijk eens wat een heerlijk weer we hadden…..
3door Ufn*******26/11/2024Proeftijd
MeerBinnen de proeftijd het abonnement, 1 dag, maar betaal voor een heel jaar? Gewoon diefstal….dus let op bij het activeren van een abonnement.
1door De *******16/11/2024LR Classic competitor
MeerFor the price that it is currently available it’s a must have for any photo editor that is looking into other software other than LR Classic. It’s missing core features atm, but what is here is solid and fast to work with. I am looking forward what Photomator has in store for the future.
