Photos on your phone

Lightroom mobile: Import the .xmp presets. Full guide.
VideoLUT and PeekLUT: Both grade photos as well as video with the .cube LUTs. See the VideoLUT and PeekLUT guides.
Snapseed: Google is rolling out preset and LUT import (.xmp and .cube), on iPhone first. If your version has it, import from the Looks / presets area.
Liit (iPhone): Imports .cube and .3dl files, up to 50 at a time, for photos and video.
RAWCraft (iPhone): Made for photos and ProRAW; loads both the .cube LUTs and the Lightroom .xmp presets.
LUTify (iPhone): A free, offline app: import your own .cube files and apply them to photos.

Other editors

Vegas Pro: Add Video FX → LUT Filter to the clip or the video output, then browse to a .cube file.
Affinity Photo: Choose Layer → New Adjustment → LUT, then Load LUT… and pick a .cube file.
Avid Media Composer: Import the .cube file as a user LUT in the colour management settings, then apply it with the Color LUT effect.
DaVinci Resolve for iPad: See the iPad section of the Resolve guide.
Blackmagic Camera (iPhone): To preview a look while you shoot, go to Settings → LUTs, tap Import LUT and pick a .cube file. The GoPro pack's 33-point LUTs are the safest choice here.
Kino (iPhone): Open a .cube file and choose Open in Kino, or go to Settings → Grade → Import. Kino accepts LUTs up to 33-point, so use the GoPro pack's LUTs; the Cinematic ones are 64-point.
LUT Studio (iPhone): Importing your own .cube files needs a LUT Studio Pro subscription; imported looks sit next to the built-in ones.
Any other editor: Look for an option called LUT, 3D LUT or Color Lookup and load a .cube file. Almost every current editor supports it.

Apps that can't load LUTs yet

These popular apps have their own filters but cannot import custom .cube files at the time of writing. Grade the clip in an app that can, then finish your edit where you like.

Instagram Edits: Grade in VN, Premiere on iPhone or LumaFusion first, then bring the clip into Edits.
CapCut (phone app): Use CapCut on a computer, or VN on your phone.
InShot: Use VN or Premiere on iPhone for the colour, then finish in InShot.
Final Cut Pro for iPad: Use LumaFusion or DaVinci Resolve for iPad, or Final Cut Pro on a Mac.
Darkroom: LUT import is on Darkroom's roadmap but not available yet. Use VideoLUT, PeekLUT or RAWCraft for photos.
Premiere Rush: Replaced by the free Premiere app for iPhone, which does load LUTs.
