★★★★★ Fantastic B&W photo app!
I love this app for shooting in black-and-white, but it is missing just one thing – a way to save favorite combinations when you use the shuffle function! Otherwise it is perfect! Please add a Favorite combos button!!!…
★★★★★ Love the TRI-X simulation
Intuitive app that gives great results. I shoot with Blackie as my camera using the TRI-X simulation frequently. Hoping more simulations get added in updates.…

★☆☆☆☆ BLACKIE
NO ICONS SHOW UP WHEN APP IS OPENED. CANNOT TAKE PHOTOS.…
★☆☆☆☆ Not working for IPhone XR

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
