Nitro Photo

Absolutely fantastic app! I’m recently retired but spent decades as a software developer, then manager, then CTO and its rare that I get a new bit of software and find myself as impressed as I did when I discovered Nitro. Not just the features, but the care around seamless Apple Photos integration and the overall user experience. That this wasn't the result of a large team of coders is all that more impressive! Or maybe the reason its so great is that it *wasn't* a large team of coders :) Nitro has become my primary tool for managing my Photos library and I look forward to watching this app evolve. The fact that I can hop between Apple Photos and Nitro with impunity and all of my rating and flagging maintained across all platforms is quite extraordinary. Kudos to Gentlemen Coders! Also worth mentioning: I submitted a feature request and got an immediate and thoughtful response from the developer.

The iOS and iPadOS versions of Nitro are astonishingly good apps. And work seamlessly with the macOS app. Nitro brings the joy back to making photos This is a gem of an app. It's like haiku. Simple, yet full of riches and, immense power which wait to be discovered. As someone who has used Aperture, Lightroom, and Capture One, this app spoke to me. It has everything I would want as an average person with a camera (and a phone!). I love the UI of the iOS / iPadOS apps. That means a lot to me. Lovely modern design and UI which just clicked for me. The developer has taken a lot of care to make sure each app works and feels natural to its platform while also making it super simple and seamless for users to switch between any three. The seamless way to connect with Files app and Photos app is one the the biggest features. And, it just works! The cost (buy or subscribe) includes an upcoming iPad and iPhone version which is an amazing deal. Too good to be true. I am subscribing as I want to support this app Coming from the developer of RAW Power - an app I own and use - I know the developer is going to support Nitro in a similar, responsive way, while taking it to a totally new level. Here's what I love about Nitro for iOS/iPadOS: 1. The best of both worlds: Photos on iOS, and Files on iOS. Nitro works effortlessly in both worlds. 2. I particularly love that I can connect an external drive to my iPad, work on my photos and then take that drive to my Mac and continue working! Thanks to XMP sidecar feature. 2. Terrific RAW support. 3. Professional, modern editing controls. 4. Masks and brushes for those who want that. 5. Presets, LUTS, Film simulations, and so much more. 5. EXIF, image comparison, and other nerdy details. Most of all it's great fun to use and brings the joy back into making and sharing photographs. I recommend this without any reservations.

I keep taking pictures for many years, not professionally, just to record things around. I used to relay on Aperture to manage my picture lib, but unfortunately it was discontinued and actually it lacks some key features like perspective correction, lens correction and aberration adjustments. This app Nitro fit every need I could ask for, and works fast. I like it the most that albums are shown in thumbnails instead of layers of folder icons like that in LR and C1 have which I never got used to, when it comes to displaying albums, app should show users thumbnails directly, instead of confusing people with folder icons and folder name texts, what was Adobe thinking! It even comes with LUT, very professional function, its filter system is just the one like aperture, and the developer responded to feature requests and bug reports very swiftly, this app is worth the money, so much, in beginners’ typical way of usage, a strong competitor to LR or capture one.
