Adobe Lightroom for iPad Positive Reviews

Must have for photographersI’m a photographer who really only shoots in RAW with a NIkon Z6 and I have a nifty device to plug my XQD card directly into my iPad and thankfully it’s so incredibly easy to import photos into Lightroom. I can do one at a time or I can import many more at a time. They populate my screen in Lightroom immediately and then I don’t have to keep my XQD card plugged in and instead I can get right to work. The tools in Lightroom on iPad are top tier in my opinion and I can do just about every thing I need to do. It works flawlessly. The only thing is I have to subscribe to edit RAW photos and I know Adobe is pretty greedy with their subscriptions but they only charge me $5 which is SUCH a blessing and a struggling photographer and it allows me to bring my photographer to such a greater level than I could without it and having it on my iPad is the greatest thing. My iPad is my main device for everything and it’s super mobile, fast, and perfect for all of my creative work and Lightroom is the center of all of that. I’m more than grateful for this software and all I can say is I hope the $5 a month subscription stays the same for a long time. This is the one Adobe software I can truly say it worth a monthly subscription on iPad..Morgan GermaniVersion: 8.0

UnbelievableI cannot tell you how much Lightroom mobile has saved me in my photography career. I have learned Lightroom so much using this version and have made a career off of using Lightroom mobile. Of course I am still building and now learning photoshop, but at a time where I wanted to get into photography and did not have a lot of money to afford a high end PC, I received a more affordable iPad 2017 for photography services and then traded it in for an iPad mini 5. This app has been a life save because I use both at home and outside or on the train. It’s easier to work with because I can use it on a smaller, much lighter device and always get work done on the go. What it lacks from Lightroom Desktop is made up by the fact that it’s a mobile version with a good set of features. The batch editing really does it for me now, I still use it on my iPad and will be getting a laptop very soon thanks to picking up momentum and getting further in my career while using this app, but I will still be using this on the go when I dont want to carry a computer around the city. My camera equipment is already heavy enough..CERDABOIVersion: 5.0.0

Generally does not workAs a local editor with Apple Pencil support it is kinda awesome. However, the minute you try to upload raw photos to the cloud the problems begin. Photos will be “pending” for days on end, to make matters worse, it hard to tell what was uploaded and what was not and when dealing with thousands o photos you just know that some are getting lost. I have tried to work with customer service for months on this, I’m constantly showing them files which should have uploaded but are somehow missing. Customer service is beyond terrible, which is frustrating because I pay for 2tbs of cloud storage. If you are solely editing photos stored on the iPad the main issues are: (1) iPad will not allow you to import photos from Samsung cellphones thus you can’t bring them into Lightroom without using the untrustable cloud; (2) if you make edits and scroll over to another photo the only undo function is to undo most if not all edits; (3) no panorama stitching; and (4) no HDR stitching. The program has potential, but like the IPad Pro it is frustrating almost every thing you try to do serious photo editing.The al fonzVersion: 4.4.1

A Good Basic and Intuitive Photo Editor For Your PhoneSnapseed is good editor for first edit and final edits. This is a basic editor with a few more advance features. It has several standard filters. Surprising it can even remove parts of objects from your photographs: best use is to remove single stand- alone objects. It also has a good set of 9 filters . One powerful filter option Available is the selective and brush tools. They all produce fairly good results. You can selectively undo your edits. The save feature includes “saving a new version” so you don’t lose your ordinal image. All in all a very good editor you can use as your go-to editor for quick work and as your standard photo editor. I have been using it for about 4 years with excellent results and the developers continue to upgrade and correct their software package. Highly recommend this editor for the inexperienced as well as the veteran photographer; best of alll it is free..RhmachoteVersion: 6.3.0

Pros on the go could make better use of iPad for Lightroom with catalogs, batch-editing functionsI’m a photojournalist. I often find myself in situations where editing photos with Lightroom for iPad would make my life a lot easier, but it’s just not practical at the moment. Half the time I’m traveling and don’t have the luxury of going back to the office to edit on tight deadlines, so I have to carry around my massive MacBook Pro everywhere I go (and unpack my life at the nearest coffee shops in my path). Now that iPad OS is out and external hard drives are supported, it would be wonderful to see an update with catalogs, smart previews and batch-editing functions so I can actually use this app and take greater advantage of my iPad Pro’s powerful capabilities and smaller package. Such an update would also allow me to comfortably edit from my car on location, rather than having to go out of the way and find a place to hunker down and edit. I can see this app being a fine editor for photographers who have looser deadlines and more time to make fine adjustments, but the lack of these essential features renders it obsolete to photographers who could most benefit from its promise of mobility..Jqualls87Version: 4.4.1

Amazing for amateurs. Not ready for prosThe interface is great and operates smoothly and the processing is as good as the desktop version. Unfortunately, there are a few basic problems that make the product borderline unusable for pros. 1. Sorting by capture time is broken because it doesn’t go to the millisecond. Therefore, if you shoot at more than one frame per second (eg. sports, action, kids, weddings), your photos will be out of order. 2. There does not seem to be a way to batch apply a preset to multiple photos. You instead have to select the preset on one of them and then paste it onto each photo individually. 3. No ability to make a virtual copy or easily duplicate a photo. 4. This is the biggie that is the number one thing keeping this from being a professional tool. You can’t batch rename photos either on import or export or any other time. Like all professionals, and I’m sure many amateurs, I rename files with the date, subject, and a sequential counter so that they can be identified easily and don’t look like I just copied them straight from my camera. I hope that everyone that reads this tells Adobe they need to add this feature!.Prophotog10000Version: 4.1.0

Dumb Guy Here…I once bought Adobe Photo shop suite and Loved it and used it ,A LOT. Then They went to a subscription model, and It became a cost I couldn’t keep up with. And I tried SO Many different software packages, and none of them ever really lived up to their promises. Lightroom does. It’s that simple. While it may not be the entire Adobe Creative Suite, it does what MOST photographers need to do, along with a whole host of other things. You can get really creative with it, and no break the bank. Sometimes you need to find the tutorials, to get into the weeds of the thing, ( and sometimes they are as clear as mud) but when it comes down to making your art the way you want it, Lightroom just can’t be beat. From organizing to copywriting your images, you can fix a zit, or remove a person, whatever you want to do, This will do it. You just have to take the time to learn it..Stone IndianVersion: 8.2.2

Great app, could use a few features.This app is great. I love working with it and editing photos. It has all the features that you may need except a few. I would defiantly recommend this to someone. The user interface is simple enough to use, and if you don’t get it, then there is a helpful guide. I would love to see a few improvements however. It would be great to see some background blur capabilities for non pro users. I came to this app from Adobe Photoshop Express, on the iPhone. I liked it because you could add any amount of background, or foreground blur you wanted. But I switched to Lightroom as you need to pay for pro features to get the image in good quality. Here In Lightroom, you don’t need pro to get good image quality. But that background blur would be great. I don’t know if it is already a pro feature, but if it is, could you make it a non pro feature? I would pay for it if it wasn’t a subscription. But other than that, Great app, would probably recommend it..Vincent14472Version: 6.2.2

Love it! But…It really was a game changer to use this for my photography workflow. I no longer have to be chained to my desk and I love using the apple pencil when editing. I think this app is incredibly robust as well! I also love using the cloud features to work on both desktop and ipad interchangeably. It’s awesome! That said, while I understand that this would be more limited than the desktop version, there are some features on there that I find useful and wish it would be carried over to the ipad so I didn’t have to use my desktop as much because they are small features. For Masking, I wish the ability to adjust the “strength” of the mask layer via the amount slider was on this app. I use little spotlights with radial gradients, and I find it easier to get the subtle glow I want with the amount slider. I can adjust the exposure of course, but I don’t like it as much. Also for masking, I like adjusting the curves on desktop to increase or decrease contrast and highlights for certain masked areas. The ipad version only has a curve adjuster for the whole picture. It isn’t on the mask editor. Which is a shame because I like that it allows me to be a bit more detailed and controlled with the feature. This is something I don’t feel as strongly about, so I don’t mind it being not included, but the auto red eye correction on desktop is very useful and I would like to see it here too..Lucy So.Version: 10.3

DROPBOX + LIGHTROOM MOBILE***See my editing workflow below the review*** Sync your presets on your desktop (both classic and cc) with the cloud and your presets will be available for use on mobile. I’m new to the whole Lightroom thing (<1 year) and after familiarizing my self with the desktop UI decided to take the mobile plunge. I purchased an iPad Pro and went to town! I wanted to have no excuses to crank out some edits whether for clients or personally. Couple this all with Dropbox and an Apple Pencil, and voila(!), you’ve got quite the editing set up. The only thing missing that I can tell is the light & dark sliders. There are ways around that. I almost feel like the Apple Pencil is a must for this editing platform on an iPad. Not sure if it’s any different on iPhone but those little sliders are precise and difficult using just your fingers. Overall, great experience and worth rocking the iPad Pro with the pencil. Happy editing folks! ***IPAD ONLY WORKFLOW (THIS IS JUST THE MOST MOBILE FRIENDLY FLOW I HAVE CURRENTLY)*** Gear: 1dx mkii w/cfast USB-c cable and prograde cfast reader iPad Pro 11” w/ usb-c -Ingest footage within the default gallery import prompt (I don’t think there is another option as of yet) -upload images to Dropbox.

Lightroom CC reviewDespite my apprehension to changes in the business model, I like the direction Adobe is taking with Lightroom on iOS... Brush edits are HUGE. The performance is great. It's also nice to see global detail tools, the old way to sharpen on iOS didn't make as much sense (although sharpening on desktop LR is still easier when holding Option). The UI refresh brings it more in line with desktop LR (editing tools on the right), and it seems much faster to navigate through the different tool groups, but now that the tools are persistent, there’s no way to edit "full screen" anymore. I like the change to one finger touch to preview edits (from a three finger touch in the prior version of the app), but I find myself missing a good way to preview individual adjustments. Would still like to see perspective adjustments, HDR & panorama merging, cloning & healing, smart fill (desktop too—one of the few features that keeps me coming back to Photoshop), and the ability to switch camera color profiles. Most of these requests would be moot if we could get full resolution (adjusted) raw files out of Lightroom so they can be round-tripped with other photo editing apps, but if you began the process on the desktop, you’re limited to editing smart previews of full images... Despite all that, Lightroom CC is a fantastic iPad experience and I'm more optimistic about this update than not. It's faster, easier to navigate and the brush editing is awesome..Colin RobertsonVersion: 3.0.1

Best Photo App out there... but...This program is powerful, efficient, and super functional. I absolutely love cloud-based editing: I can load RAWs or JPEGs on my iPad, and edit from my iPhone or vice-versa from hi-quality thumbnails, a trick other photo apps have not perfected. Because of this feature, I have successfully moved 100% of my photo editing to mobile devices because I must be able to turn around work quickly on the job. I can’t thank the developers enough for these features. However, I am flabbergasted by what is left off the mobile platform. The big two for me are not being able to select the quality of export (there are only two options: export a thumbnail, or a low-bitrate JPEG), and no ability to copy a preset to a batch. These functions are essential for workflow efficiency. If Adobe adds them, more professionals will take advantage of studio-quality mobile editing..Jordan FreshourVersion: 4.3.0

Paste Settings Command is not operating!I use this app to edit over 5,000 images a week, if not more. It is by far the fastest app to do so out there....until now. Without the simple function of command V available on my keyboard. I know have to tap with my finger through a few menu screens to paste. This doesn’t sound like a big deal except when you consider I have to do this five thousand times a week. As oppose to use the quick key functions, this additional menu searching has increased my editing time by double. Please return the quick key functioning to this app ASAP. Increasing my work time by double for some tutorials I won’t even touch is beyond frustrating. I was not a fan of the extra step in the Copy function too. Why are they making their extremely efficient less efficient in their upgrades? I am so confused by this new update..Kelly!bVersion: 4.3.0

It is a great startI have been using Photoshop and Lightroom for years. Finally having them on an iPad Pro is huge. I can leave my laptop home. I can use the Apple Pencil. This is the new model for the modern creative. That being said... There are A LOT of missing features from Lightroom Classic. Way too many to list here. The ones of note: there are no real print options (even ordering) or books, or any of the back half of a workflow. There are also no options for storing other places (Adobe Cloud only... we’ll get to that), and no smart collections or versions. If, these, or any others from the laundry list are critical for your workflow, stick with Classic for now. You can still sync collections to Lightroom CC from Classic. Adobe, here is the single biggest feature you need: unlimited cloud storage. Right now, you can only store to Creative Cloud, which is okay, except for the exorbitant costs you are charging for storage. 1 TB is one day shooting for many photographers, especially those with high end DSLRs. 10 TB should not be $100s of dollars a month. A 2TB hard drive is $80 online. Google GIVES away UNLIMITED storage. Here’s the deal: your AI, Sensei, needs images to learn from. You give us unlimited storage, and Sensei would have an enormous library to learn from. I believe Adobe will get there. If Lightroom CC gets unlimited storage at a reasonable cost, and other crucial features added, this will be the new best photo tool for photographers..MikebrodtVersion: 3.0.1

Best thing out there, but still needs workI’ve been using Lightroom for iPad for about a year now, and it has made my photography workflow so much more enjoyable, and efficient. However it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There are a lot of features that this app is missing that are a a true shame. One of the biggest issues that I’ve had with it is the general way that Adobe seems to treat iPad users like kids playing on a toy, and not creative professionals leveraging the latest in technology. Perfect example of this, if you are a paid Adobe creative cloud user, and you try to sync a file from your desktop to your iPad so that you can work on it, it will not come over in full res, in fact the only way that I’ve seen to introduce files in full quality to the iPad Lightroom workflow is by a direct import. Speaking of which, while I have nothing but praise for adobe in adding this highly demanded feature, they’ve not done a great job at maintaining it. At the time of this writing, the ‘new’ simplified way of adding photos to Lightroom on the iPad has not been updated to work on iPad OS 13.5 There are a lot of other little things like this throughout, Apple Pencil for example technically works in this app, but due to the way they process inputs it will make the process of working with it feel much lower, and actually less precise than just using your fingers. Over all this is a great app, and I continue to pay a yearly fee to use it because of that, I just wish that Adobe would take a more aggressive stance on turning Lightroom in to the creative work powerhouse it’s clearly meant to be..JamesDaHallVersion: 5.2.5

Missing fundamental featuresNo smart albums, no quick access to ratings (you have to search each rating, which is more steps), no support for custom watermarks like PNG signatures (instead, you get a super generic font with your name and a copyright symbol), and just general library management that is available through Lightroom classic. As a professional, having my library easily sorted by smart folders was one of the most valuable tools to quickly showing clients. Please add these features... Update: there’s also no option to bring into Photoshop to edit images like on a computer. You have to export, bring into Photoshop, make your edits, and then export, then bring back in to Lightroom again. So many extra steps, and the “Photoshop” apps it allows you to edit in are hardly acceptable replacements..St90arVersion: 5.2.4

Quality editing but lacks organizationI am impressed by the detail and control over highlights and shadows. Sharpening is to notch. However the simplest of organizational tasks are missing. I need to be able to tag batches of photos. It's plain silly to not have this functionality in a pro app design to organize and edit photos. A smaller task would be to make user presets available to Siri Shortcuts. I shoot B&W film almost exclusively. I have a shortcut on my iPad that will import to LR, any photo that I put into a specific folder in Apple Photos and then delete it from photos. During that process, I can apply any LR built in preset. However there is no INVERT preset. So I made one using curves and saved it as a user preset. Siri Shortcuts cannot see that. I have to load photos from my SD card to photos app, batch invert them in Pixelmater photo, then import to LR. For an app with monthly subscription, it is still lecking some basic functionality..SkraMnoRVersion: 5.2.4

Missing FeaturesThe app is really great, im a premium user; but its missing some features from the mobile app. Mainly the actions tab where you can select the subject, background, and sky to retouch them. Its a really good feature that needs to be on the iPad app. It also crashes sometimes and the cloud doesn't backup right away so I lose progress. If those were to be fixed it would be 5 stars. Also there should be a feature (if there isn't already) where you can add hundreds of photos from one device like my phone, and store it into the cloud to view on another device, right now the closest thing we have is photos that are already edited are synced to the cloud but it would be nice to be able to take pictures on my phone camera, then mass transfer all the photos un-edited to be edited on the iPad or vise-versa..ShenkoStudiosVersion: 10.0.1

It’s the little things that kill this appUnfortunately Adobe does not understand that photographers sometimes travel to remote locations that don’t have internet access. Or it’s flaky internet ala the reality of Starlink. So how is it that every time I’m in one of those compromised locations, Adobe asks me to log in. Like place a full page barrier over Lightroom that's not going to go away until I sign in. As in I can’t use Lightroom until I get to a location with internet. This log-in request has happened 4 times so far on day 21 of a 42 day trip. The last time I had internet I took the opportunity to download On1 for iPad. So far so good and I’m able to cull, rate, edit and keyword without internet. If you travel a lot this “mobile” app may not be for you..XghVersion: 10.1.1

Solid Application, no support for LR CatThis application is a fantastic demonstration as to why the iPad will never truly be Pro. The applications runs extremely fast, has great presets, a nice community, and a UI workflow that becomes second nature once you get use to it. It manages to overcome the UI limitations of not having a mouse…which large portion of applications fail to do. However, it forces you to go to the cloud. LR cataloge is not supported. That drops the PRO for me. You can take a few shots and thats it. If you are a true profressional you have two backups of your catalogue on seperate hard drives. I travel with one, take pictures and edit off that HD. I’m not going to start uploading 2 TBs of my photos to be forced to pay more fo a sync cloud and need to purchase a larger storage iPad. Adobe, please fix this and support your catalogue. Until then I’m stuck on a laptop. This is absolutely frustrating..Oatisb1Version: 9.0

Amazing and getting better!What I love the most about the mobile version is that I can almost do everything I need when I am pressed for time and quick edits are acceptable. Granted, the app does allow you to be VERY targeted with some of your editing, but there are some detailed things you can only get from the desktop version. Something that I wish would get fixed and updated is that the new masking updates to the desktop version do not translate to the iPad version. For example, I used the new masking option to select iris and face on a portrait I was retouching but those edits did not translate to my iPad where I wanted to finish some edits before sharing via text and to my FB/IG (another GREAT advantage of the iPad version)..LitRoseVersion: 8.0

Ok for basic raw processing, UI issues limit usefulnessLR CC mobile is a reasonable enough as a raw processor, giving the same options as other Adobe Camera Raw interfaces (with a few omissions), but some of the UI choices are major hinderances and make it only suitable for initial drafts of edits. Two critical problems are disruptive to image editing. The Selective Edits interface has a design flaw where it is impossible to view the mask being edited after its initial creation. Instead, there are options to either always hide the masks, or to “automatically show” it. In both Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic, it is possible to toggle the masks explicitly. An “automatic” option is not useful, and the implementation in the program is unpredictable at best. This makes the app unusable for detailed edits, and suitable only for initial drafts that must then be finished in the desktop version. Lacking an option to choose when to show and hide the masks makes it near impossible to work on detailed adjustment work since the user is effectively “working blind” and has to effectively guess where the mask actually is when making changes. This has gone unaddressed since reports on the feedback forum from 2017, so the development team clearly has no intention of fixing the problem. A second serious flaw regarding Photoshop integration is shared with Lightroom CC desktop. In both applications, once an image has been edited in Photoshop, it is not possible to reopen the TIFF or PSD file from the LR catalog. Instead, the app will always flatten the file to a JPEG and open a new copy. This prevents modifications to layers in the original PS file, and worse, results in degradation of the image quality with each round trip to Photoshop. While this can be worked around by taking saving the PS file to the cloud outside of LR, that effectively removes the image from the Lightroom catalog. Lightroom Classic handled this in a very simple way by giving a user the option to open the “original” image in PS. Why this was omitted from both the desktop and mobile versions of LR CC defies understanding..BrbonlineVersion: 6.3.1

Impressive!Adobe has stepped up their game and reclaimed their place as an industry leader for creative and productive software suites. At work, I am a producer who uses Adobe Acrobat for many of my tasks. At home, my hobby is photography and using the Adobe Photography CC Plan is perfect. I love being able to take just my camera and my iPad Pro with me on photo walks and being able to capture, download, edit and post on the go without my laptop. The addition of brush strokes is a MAJOR plus for this mobile app, making this nearly invisible to the desktop application for 90% of photo editing. The best part? All of this is free with my CC subscription, which makes it hard to argue the new business model sometimes. Well done, Adobe..AthenRossVersion: 3.0.1

Requires monthly sub for RAW editingThe Lightroom app allows you to adjust overall lighting, color, etc. like the desktop version. There are also many presets available for overall adjustments. If you want to do any spot editing or adjust perspective, you need a monthly subscription. You also need a monthly subscription if you want to do ANY editing whatsoever to RAW image files. RAW is not supported on the free version. For this reason, this app doesn’t meet my needs right now. If you’re looking for a good basic app to adjust tone and white balance, this is great. If you’re willing to commit to an indefinite monthly subscription plan, you’ll also probably get a lot out of this. If you’re an amateur photographer like myself who wants to get a little more experience learning to make the most out of editing programs before committing to a subscription, this probably isn’t the app for you..Aidan not AidenVersion: 5.2.4

Love the app but could use color calibrationI like being able to be away from my desktop as much as possible being a creative who avoids that kind of grind. This is why I welcomed the addition of Lightroom and now Photoshop for iPad Pro. One thing missing: Color calibration. I know many other users only do “simple edits” on iPads only to return to the big computer for final touch up, but that seem silly. My wish this whole time that iPads have been out has been to make my workflow more organic feeling like drawing or something. Sure windows tablets may work but I don’t like their stylus feel compared to iPad. Is it that adobe doesn’t want to pay xrite or whoever for licensing the profiles? I wish Apple would do it system wide, but not holding my breath. Some of us still print adobe, so pretty please.....Hepkat23Version: 5.2.4

A credible appI’ve been using this app for a while, and Adobe has been actively developing it at a quick pace. In fact the changes come fast enough it’s sometimes hard to keep up, but the app continues to be stable and useable. It allows me to sort through my photos and perform meaningful edits on them though there are things missing that the desktop app can do. Still, it handles nearly all of my needs. One of the weak spots is handling metadata like keywords. There’s some support for captions but none for maps nor labels and titles. One peculiar limitation that I see no reason for is that the app only lets you crop so small—there’s a minimum size. I can crop tighter on the desktop. Not sure why this limit exists, but I have to recrop some photos on the desktop..EricBirderVersion: 3.1.0

Time to make it perfectSo yes I am one of those who works now on the iPad Pro and I think it’s time to create a real app with full capabilities. I wish I could delete pictures from my catalog and my iPad storage at the same time. After a shooting I usually have over 1000 pictures but then when I finish editing them I only want to keep about 50 so I wish it wouldn’t take so much space on my iPad Pro storage. Also I think we need more options in settings to choose different sizes and resolutions when we are exporting photos. My workflow has improved like crazy since I am working only on my iPad Pro but I need some of these things to have the perfect experience that I think will have in the future. Congratulations on a great product anyways. I hope you are working on it already..Alejandro MalladoVersion: 4.2.0

Great until latest update…Have been impressed with the mobile version of Lightroom each time it has been overhauled but latest iteration is buggy. Specifically some of the new features do not play well (at all) with the desktop version of Lightroom Classic, still what I consider to be the workhorse of all versions and my go to for heavy lifting edit work. I’m hopeful that fixes will be forthcoming but for now I can’t use Lr Mobile to apply new local adjustments because when saved to the cloud and opened in LrC (desktop) I get warnings that adjustments are not compatible and if file is opened the changes will be lost. Please fix Adobe..EcycledVersion: 7.0.0

One of the BestI’ve resisted buying into the subscription based structure of Adobe for a few years trying alternatives like Corel Paintshop Pro which has come a long way and Affinity Photo which is good, but none really compare to Adobe products. I’ve finally caved in and bought an Adobe subscription and it was a good decision. Lightroom CC for the iPad is a great lightweight photo editing app complimenting the more powerful desktop app. Having Adobe cloud storage makes editing on the go a breeze. I am really looking forward to getting my hands on the upcoming Photoshop app for the iPad Pro for some more serious editing on the go. I’ve given it 4 out of 5 stars because of the limitation due to the iOS file system not Adobe, though Adobe is trying to overcome that with its latest update....Ken..Version: 4.1.1

Needs trash iconsI’ve been using this app for years and I absolutely love it for on the go projects. The only issue I have with it is when importing photos directly from the sd or camera roll, it’s to many steps just to delete one photo. Having to click on the 3 dots, then click on organize and finally delete photo just for another prompt asking how you’d like to remove it is just way too time consuming for someone who is uploading several photos at once. A simple trash icon added to the top of the app would be idea for for everyone. Eliminate some steps it takes to remove the photos so we don’t have to do 3 steps for every photo we want to remove from the albums..Dillinger1329Version: 6.3.0

Editing issues on iPad ProUpdate!!!! Well after the initial response from Adobe which did not fix my issue they have now gone very quiet!!! I am left very disappointed but not surprised.. Adobe you should be ashamed of yourself. Your loyal customers deserve better.. Unfortunately you leave me no choice but sadly cancel/not renew my subscription... I love the idea of using Lightroom on my iPad but unfortunately it fails dismally. The selective editing brush lags like crazy and after spending a number of hours chatting to Adobe support I have decided to cancel my whole Adobe subscription. The lack of support for Lightroom mobile is disgraceful, all they kept saying to me was the version I am using is old ! .. I have the latest version from the AppStore... then they just said I have to wait for the next update! . Not good enough Adobe!! You have just lost someone who has been a loyal customer for 5 years..

Almost perfect appI love editing my photos on the tablet Lightroom app. Using the pen on the touchscreen is a breeze, everything just goes so smoothly. However, I’m taking two stars out of it simply because of the inability to rename photos when initially importing them. It forces me to first import my photos on my (old, slow) laptop and then synch them to the cloud, and then open the tablet to edit my photos. I want to reduce the number of tools I need to work, and I thought I would be able to replace most of my laptop usage with a really good iPad, but this simple functionality is stopping me. I really wish Adobe would add that option..MelopsitaeVersion: 10.0.1

A bit buggy and priceyThere should be a one time purchase offer, after paying for subscription for years I should own it by now. On the iPad often times the app just shuts down while I’m still editing and it never saves changes on the images that I’m still working on..The kid is madVersion: 9.5

More Options Needed!!This feels like it’s purposely restricted by Adobe to promote people to use the desktop apps. It’s better than it used to be but can we please get more functionality?? I would give this a higher score if I was able to filter out Jpegs. I have to do a stupid workaround on the app to move RAW files out to be able to select JPEGs. Depending on the situation I want either RAW or JPEG but for some annoying reason I can select JPEGs on their own..BobcatyycVersion: 9.5

Need External Storage SupportWe really need external storage support to edit from an external ssd or from a nas to be a real professional tool. Right now this is the only thing missing from Lightroom cc on iPad to be able to replace my laptop when I go on shoot. Most of professional photographers shoot hundreds of gigs of data and cloud syncing in not a good option. I often need 2-3 TB of ssd to backup my photography trips. Please consider adding a way to use external drives. Resolve did it, it’s possible to edit videos from my nas without issues..SimonnigashittyVersion: 9.3.1

Adobe Lightroom for iPad Negative Reviews

Frustrating and Disappointing if you are a professional photographer.Lightroom mobile on the iPad is not for the professional photographer. Adobe really has dropped the ball with this app. I had a dream of editing everything on my 2tb iPad Pro m4, but it’s impossible and frustrating. I switched from my legacy adobe cloud 20gb plan to the 1tb plan, and that was also a big mistake. There is no way i could edit a wedding or a day’s worth of wildlife photos from one of the trips that i lead on Lightroom mobile for the IPad. First, good luck getting all of the photos imported. Second, the app is unreliable, even after importing and having the album stored locally, there is always issues. Nothing worse than being out in the bush wanting to edit photos on your iPad and you can’t because Lightroom mobile did not save your photos correctly and due to the lack of the internet, you can’t access the photos or your presets. Noise reduction is pretty terrible on the iPad as well. The phone version of Lightroom is better than the iPad. Adobe should abandon Lightroom mobile for the iPad and make a “classic” version where one can import their catalog and photos and not really on adobes unstable and slow cloud for edits. Adobe Lightroom mobile is not for the professional photographer, it may work for the casual user who just wants basic editing. Save your time and money and just stick with your MacBook..Wildlifelover1Version: 11.2.2

Disappointing for travel photographyI spent a small fortune to get a souped-up iPad. I pay the monthly Adobe subscriptions. My goal was to have a no-laptop solution for travel photos. It actually worked for awhile, and was “almost there”: good enough to give it a try. But, after I invested the time to carefully design, test, and document my step-by-step workflow, it’s one year later and my data doesn’t come across properly any more using DNG exports to my desktop. My whole purpose with LR mobile is to invest some time in the field to cull (i.e., star rate) and do basic corrections and cropping. After 60 days of remote travel this year, I’ve returned home to find that the Star ratings don’t seem to export with the exported DNGs. Quickly picking out the “4s and 5s” to further edit takes forever. I see on the forums that this is a known problem, and that iCloud is the fix. Listen up, Adobe, using iCloud is completely unacceptable for travelers. More often than not I’m stuck with either horrible connectivity, or none at all. That’s not going to happen. Can you please fix the DNG export bug so I can re-export my 10k or so travel photos and import them to LR Classic on the desktop? Maybe in the future, a little less development money on AI features and a little more concentration on good old fashioned software QC?.HrufescensVersion: 10.0.1

15 Photo Export Max? What the...I downloaded Lightroom mobile as I’m really wanting to move away from desktop and laptop editing, and LR Mobile seemed promising. I LOVE the UI and functionality of this app, and can do about 95% of the work I need to right from my iPad Pro, and I was actually a bit blown away by its speed and capabilities. Then I went to export about 100 photos I had taken with my Panasonic G9 and edited in Lightroom Mobile. I thought the iPad was glitching, or I had toggled a setting that I didn’t know about, because I wasn’t able to export more than 15 photos at a time. After doing a bit of digging I’ve found that this is done on purpose. The reason being that Lightroom isn’t able to render in the background, but that doesn’t make any sense as I’m sure we’re all more than willing to leave the app open and running in the foreground until the export is complete. This is a preposterous number of images to export at one time. Give us at least 100 images, as we could work with that limitation; but only 15? That quite literally renders this entire app, and all the hard work these developers put into it, totally useless. A 5 star app turned to a 1 star app due to a major oversight. I’ll most likely be looking for ways of leaving Adobe after about 15 years of exclusively using their products, if they don’t get their $#!+ together asap. FIX THIS RIDICULOUS LIMITATION ADOBE, PLEASE!.Charles AhlstromVersion: 3.2.0

Nice editor,but...don’t buy Premium!This is a fine editor for photos on the iPad, in fact I liked it enough that I thought I might try working on my pro camera raw photos via Adobe Cloud while traveling. However, my Adobe Cloud account (arranged by my employer) only has 2GB max, which is very limited. When this LR CC mobile app prompted me to buy the Premium version, offering additional Adobe Cloud storage, I jumped on it. But after trying it out, I found that my Adobe Cloud storage was still capped at 2GB. Trying to get help, I was diverted to unrelated Adobe help forum topics. And when I tried to talk to Adobe directly, they told me I had to go through my employer...even through this premium upgrade was a purchase I made out of my own pocket, under the stated promise that it would include additional cloud storage. I feel like I was ripped off, and I would demand my money back but my time is more valuable than the amount I paid. I guess I will just have to find another solution, but there aren’t many options. The market is dominated by a few mega-corporations who don’t care about serving their customers, they do everything they can to prevent us from getting help when needed, and they always err on the side of denying us the product we thought we were entitled to when making the purchase..Tokyo John HVersion: 4.0.0

Please for the love of god fix “add border and share” to not fail every first exportI’ve been using this app for years and ever since they introduced this feature I’ve found it helpful, but every single time when I try to “add border and share” a photo which I have edited, it has a red “This photo could not be exported” error. I will regularly get 20+ of these errors which all have to be manually clicked away and block the bottom of the screen from me editing. If you then try to export again it works, but if then change anything in the edit again it will fail to export the first time like clockwork. On an ipad pro 13 inch with an m1 chip Another issue is that the caching strategy is way too aggressive, and photos that you just loaded off your camera will offload into the cloud within a few minutes, so you can’t even edit them without *re-downloading* the same file you just had on your ipad. There’s no way to choose which files are kept as cache or to delete things from local storage or anything like that, my lightroom takes up 40gb on my ipad but yet still every time I take files from my camera it runs into sync issues. There should be also be a “pause upload” button to make everything STAY on your device (e.g., on a road trip or somewhere with bad wifi) but be able to download photos which have been removed from your local cache. Editing should not be bottlenecked this hard by internet connection. I tried to find a way to get support directly for the app but I think this is probably the most direct way, you guys really need to fix this stuff. Please keep the key-bindings the same, lightroom desktop changed to some horrible scheme (z and x for flagging iirc, pick and unpick as p and u are so much nicer).EllliottowerVersion: 9.1.1

Constant Issues and Missing FeaturesThis is hands-down the worst app on my iPad. On numerous occasions it has frozen and crashed, wiping out 10+ minutes of edits that were supposed to have been saved to the cloud but weren’t. I’ve had to re-edit a bunch of pictures because Lightroom simply didn’t save any of the changes I made. It has constant issues with importing photos from an SD card, too. It will report that there is no space available when there is plenty, or it will simply fail altogether with no indication as to why. Just a few minutes ago I tried to import 82 photos from an SD card into Lightroom. It successfully imported only 17 of them. I tried importing all of them again in smaller batches of 10-15 photos, and each batch appeared to be successful. Upon removal of the SD card, however, I discovered that not a single one of the photos actually imported. On top of the constant technical issues this disaster of an app suffers from, it also lacks basic features that are present in the desktop app. Lightroom has been available on iPad for years, and yet essential functionality like HDR merging, panorama merging, and custom file naming schemes are still absent. The total lack of care put into the development of this app is astounding..Ksanvjoksh38462nxjf74Version: 8.0

Have had Lightroom for years. It glitches so much now & freezes. Nearly impossible to use anymoreI have done a majority of my edits on Lightroom for at least the last 3 years. I have imported large files and have had no issue working through edits. However, now I can’t even edit one photo from my phone camera. Things stay greyed out and unusable due to lagging and being stuck. I’ve updated devices, apps, restarted, tried different devices and this app is a mess. Not sure why I’m paying for something that literally gets worse with time. It’s sad too because it’s been my go to for years, and seems like they have not improved a thing, except add all the AI integrations that take up so much space “analyzing” when the app can hardly run as is it seems. Very unhappy with how things have been working lately and will be looking for a new company to pay for their services given this shows no signs of improvement. Pretty sad. I know a lot of photographers use Lightroom. Should probably fix it soon before you lose a bunch of customers (and I’d say soon considering all the comments saying the same).DbevxjfbVersion: 11.1.1

Wish the iPad Pro had more optionsI’ve always really enjoyed using Lightroom. As a whole I would definitely give it 5 stars. However the iPad version seems lacking in areas that don’t make a lot of sense to me. I wish they’d at least have a better version for something like the iPad Pro. Though the application can do most if not all the same things that the desktop version can do from and editing standpoint, it seems to be missing some features. I can’t search “Not In Any Album” on the iPad Pro making it very difficult to organize new uploads into my own Albums. I also can’t seem to find a way to edit some of the Meta Data on the iPad Pro. It seems silly that some of these features are missing given the power the rest of the application seems to have. Given the new iPads and iPad Pros that just came out, I’m hoping to see some updates regarding this. Considering my newer iPad Pro is likely more powerful than my older MacBook I don’t see any reason as to why the iPad version can’t do all the same things as the full version on a MacBook Pro..WildThing_KingVersion: 8.0.1

Nearly Worthless Until Apple Pencil Brush Mask is FixedThree months ago, this was my go-to app fro all photo processing, including over and above use of the desktop version. It was BRILLIANT and the flow between it and Photoshop, also on the iPad, seamless, not to mention between the iPad’s Lightroom and the cloud/desktop version of Lightroom Classic, with the exception of repeated failures to sync iPad Lightroom photos seamlessly modified on iPad Photoshop not syncing. This app was the first that brought out the “Pro” in my M1 iPad Pro. Now, with my iPad Pencil working in every single other app on my iPad Pro except for the long-standing failure of Adobe to fix the Apple Pencil Brush Masking tool, the app is virtually worthless. Adobe’s continuing failure to fix this bug is beyond irresponsible when it used to work just fine. Don’t waste your time using this if you plan on doing any complex masking until the fix is made. I suppose, just now retired, I need to spend some of my limited income and go back to the 2000’s and get a Wacom tablet so I can perform the simple act of brush masking in Lightroom Classic while again tethered to my desk..EmbereaVersion: 9.4

So CloseI am a long time Lightroom User from CS4 to CC. I recently decided to stray away from my usual computer routine and go for a more hands on approach. So I bought a Brand New iPad Pro 11”. First there are a lot of latency and rendering issues, especially with the selective brush adjustment tool. At points it would take 6-10 seconds just to catch up to me. Even on a brand new photo with no edits, zooming in takes a second to process. I only used raw photos for this test. Also, the app is not designed for the new iPads because the interface does not even go edge to edge on my 11” iPad. The interface itself is well designed and very easy to transition from the desktop version. A couple VERY important features I am missing is auto-mask and the ability to export as a raw or .tif. It completely defeats the purpose of having the paid mobile app if I have to jump back and forth between my iPad and my desktop to do trivial functions like export as tif. Please optimize this apps performance for the new iPad 11” and 12.9”. Please add export options!!.Chris-lowVersion: 4.0.0

Disappointment after disappointmentI want to love it but can’t. The iPad Pro hardware is finally here but Adobe doesn’t seem to be listening to customers. Forum after forum, I see requests for simple every day tasks to be implemented and nothing is generally done to improve overall workflow and compatibility. Adobe products used to just work which is why many pros like myself have supported them for years. Every release in the last several years has felt beta and never fully developed. I never thought I’d be considering making a switch to other platforms but I’m just about there with the garbage apps they’ve been putting out. It’s almost 2020 and the best they can come up with for an external editor is an amateur version of Photoshop. I realize this is general feedback but hopefully someone is listening and developers can do better to produce products and features that we really need to do what we do best, create. I’m sick of workarounds for an expensive subscription based service. End rant lol..DemusicguyVersion: 4.4.1

Please read if you have issues. It’s an apple problem…There is an issue with iOS and iPad os 17 that makes nearly everything that uses photos, including the stock photos app, over heat or crash. Go to your photos app and zoom into a photo you’ve exported from Lightroom that has a lot of masks or an inflated file size due to Lightroom being garbage at letting us select what metadata we want to get rid of. When you zoom out it leaves a blurry mess of all of your photos and even thumbnails until you force quit the APP. same happens when scrolling your camera roll in twitter or instagram to find a photo to post. If you scroll too fast too it over heats and stops you from being able to select a photo at all. Pressure needs to be put on adobe and apple to address this because it is going to hurt BOTH companies in the long run. Adobe needs to let us select what metadata to keep or exclude but apple also needs to fix their OS so it behaves like it did in iOS 16 and before..KidPrimeVersion: 9.1.1

It’s so frustrating.As a pro photographer, I am basically tethered to Adobe and I love the idea of syncing across devices and being able to edit on the go. This ipad app is great for making selects and edits but it’s basically useless bc their cloud service is trash. I’ve had so many issues getting my devices to sync up (syncing will stall eternally) that I’ve given up on it for extended periods. I decided to give another try after the release of iPad’s new OS and still no luck. Now, I’ve got a whole shoot stuck in LR for ipad that I can’t get on my laptop. Not to mention, the export options are pretty bad and they take forever, even when the files are stored locally. For instance, I recently exported over 200 files to share on Dropbox. ONce the export was complete, I only had the option to load one image to Dropbox. INstead I had to export to my ipad camera roll and transfer from there. Currently on hold with Adobe customer service for over an hour to see how I can unfreeze my syncing. Capture One is looking pretty good right about now!.Cant Draw nothingVersion: 5.1.0

Good concept, very unstable, unusableThe app is very buggy and unstable on my iPad. 1. Suddenly I can’t use masking at all the last couple of days. App crashes any time I go into masking section for any photo. 2. App consistently crashes when I transfer into photoshop and back. Completely unusable for this. I’m paying extra for additional photoshop functionality that I can’t use. 3. I previously had the ability to select the subject or sky on my iPad when I subscribed. It worked sometimes without crashing, but often crashed. I now no longer have that functionality. I guess they decided to remove rather than fix that functionality that made me subscribe. I’m paying a monthly subscription for all this stuff that doesn’t work. The whole point for me was the ability to go mobile but the app is essentially unusable. With the cool stuff broken, I feel like I’m paying a premium for basically a way to sort and store photos..AnnaBelle Josslynn DahliaVersion: 7.1.0

Brilliant Editor, Clumsy Cloud IntegrationOverall this is a brilliant editor. The AI masking is outstanding, fast and generally very accurate, the noise reduction is fantastic, and the stylist integration on the iPad is an A+. All of the good stuff Lightroom does is here on the iPad. Where this app fails is with the forced cloud integration. Every time I open the app it tells me I’m out of space and then tries to sync media. There are no settings in the app to disable cloud integration and no settings to control what is sent to the cloud. This is a huge flaw in execution. As a sports/action photographer shooting 30fps, I don’t need 50gb of redundant raw files stored in a cloud. I need control over what gets uploaded and what stays local. I also often work in areas with limited connectivity, so it’s frustrating to find that Lightroom has offloaded RAW files in the background that I can’t access, forcing me to reimport from a external drive and losing all of my editing from the previous version. If Adobe wants to make this app work with their cloud service, how about giving me actual control over the functionality. Better yet, give me a cloud service that lets me share files with my clients like I do with Dropbox. If I could create folders and only upload what my clients need for each event directly from the app, this would be brilliant. But this would require folders that are not automatically backed up, so it’s not just killing my cellular bandwidth trying to upload everything. I would happily pay $20 a month for LR, a few TB of storage, and a cloud service the lets me have full control over what files get uploaded and where they are..ThejeffstevensVersion: 9.0.1

So close, but missing 2 BIG things.Overall this is great software. It’s so quick it makes me wonder why the desktop version on a computer nearly 1000x faster than my iPad mini is actually slower in practice. Must be typical Adobe taking customers money but not really using it improve the software that matters. Getting to my point. The huge problems with this software. 1. There is no batch edit option. This just blows my mind, for software who’s main point is to batch edit and export edited photos it can’t do that exact thing. The best case scenario is copying settings and pasting them to another photo, one by one. Maybe I’m expecting to much but one of the main advantages of using computers is automating simple tasks so we don’t have to do things manually over and over and over again. How does a company this big, mis this simple and critical feature? I have no idea. 2. Another export issue. When exporting the images, you can only export like 9 at a time. Better than 1 at a time but it’s still really lame. But the main problem is that when you export, there is not enough export options. For one, you can’t select the dpi. It defaults to like 96 or something like that. Not sure if anyone told Adobe, but the print standard for many many many years has been 300 dpi. It’s laughable that they missed this. But so has every other photo editor on iOS. So it makes me think maybe it’s an Apple iOS limitation. Which would make it even worse, Apple should know what print standards are and not limit its os for developers. Any way you slice it, this software is crippled to the point of not being able to use it because of these 2 glaring issues..Superhero ShaneVersion: 3.1.0

Has some features missing from iPad photoshop, but it’s weirdly excluded from the ecosystemComing away from being impressed with iPad photoshop, I was hoping lightroom would stand in as a nice raw processor that could work with it. But it seems like they made Lightroom for people who only use Lightroom. Why does it need to import photos before I can use them, and an even bigger question, why do I log into creative cloud with this but it can’t see the files saved to my creative cloud? I had to use the CC app to grab a raw to test this with. It also doesn’t have any obvious integration with photoshop, so unless I missed it, there’s no simple way to take your edit to photoshop for more work (like with camera raw on desktop) It does have features that iPad photoshop is currently missing, the biggest being raw processing and content aware (available via the healing brush.) Hopefully this means these features will be in photoshop soon, I wouldn’t want to get deep into using content aware on an image unless I had the ability to work with layers as in photoshop. Its core capabilities are good, but its exclusion from the ecosystem makes it awkward to use. There’s a very clear path for how I might use photoshop cleanly with the files on my iPad or on CC, and thus on my desktop. Lightroom feels more like it would rather live on the iPad, which I don’t like as much.PkMn Trainer ChrisVersion: 6.0.2

Extremely limited compared to the desktop versionUseful when it comes to saving and viewing photos across devices; however it pales in comparison to the desktop version of Lightroom. Editing images is unsophisticated and limited: there are no selective modifiers (color, luminance, etc.) for selective editing and the zoom-in functionality totally inhibits access to the corners of the photos, making it nearly impossible to carefully deselect the areas needed to compensate for the lack of modifiers. This is a rudimentary app, useful only if you’re only looking to utilize the basic general functionalities (light, color, detail, effects). That being said, this app comes nowhere close to the full range of functional capability demonstrated by the desktop version and is generally lacking if your desire is to obviate reliance on a desktop/laptop editing process..I'm so awesome meVersion: 6.3.0

One major issueLightroom CC has a lot of excellent elements going for it, however, the biggest issue makes for a very poor user experience. Every time one adjusts a setting, be it a color temp. adjustment, highlight, exposure, etc., the image blurs as the application processes the change. When this happens one’s eye tries to focus and cannot until the program complete the processing (which typically is pretty quick, however, when shooting with a 42 MP camera in RAW files tend to take longer to process). I cannot use this program long without getting headaches. I’ve learned to focus on the histogram when making adjustments to settings, which helps some, but it is difficult to evaluate the effect without seeing the actual results to the image being developed. Hopefully Adobe will come up with a fix pronto, especially for those of us who pay monthly for the program..CRP6/30/10Version: 3.1.0

Used to be good, now it’s a messLightroom used to be a fantastic app, but over the last few months it’s become a total mess. HUGE lag time when applying edits, especially when creating and editing masks and creating named versions, crashing frequently, ipad no longer reliably syncing with my computer or phone — all this and more makes the app almost unusable, and certainly a huge pain to use at all. I don’t know what’s happened over at adobe to cause this, but instead of trying to roll out new features someone over there needs to fix the core app. All my OS versions are fully up to date, as the Lightroom version on each of my devices, so I’m fairly confident this is a problem with the app rather than with my devices. Performance used to be so good, I really don’t know what happened here….Charliewolf494Version: 8.5

Essentials features left outLet’s start with the good: + OK for fun edits + Fast + Nice interface But absolutely essentials features where left out : - LACK OF COLORSPACE DURING EXPORT TO JPEG. I can’t believe Adobe missed this. You load your RAW, edit it, but can not choose your output colorspace. IT IS P3 BY DEFAULT. If you own an older iPhone, or a first gen iPad Pro (like me), your screen will show (and only) show sRGB. This means that your output color space does not match what is shown on screen ! Everyone developing for internet and mobile would probably like to pick sRGB for universal compatibility... - Lack of JPEG quality for export - Lack of other filetypes (TIFF, PNG) availability Other complaints: - Export to Google Drive is broken. It fails > 80% of the time to export. - If you export fails, it can’t resume from where it failed. You have to restart all over again. - You can’t turn the picture black-and-white during sharpening, one of the most useful features of desktop Lightroom. I have to say, as someone traveling with an iPad Pro, I find the subscription quite expensive for the current feature set. I recommend the app for fun edits of your pictures before sending it to a friend, but nothing else. For more serious work, you have to edit on your iPad, and then export from your PC, which is an absolute chore..Someone.real.hahaVersion: 4.2.1

Long time user - WARNING not saving or updating changesOk first off prior to this I would have given this app and the whole Creative Cloud system BRILLIANT. UPDATE Aug 7: not once, not once in a while, but EVERY time now I edit on Lightroom CC it fails to save changes either to thr iPad or to the Cloud. Even after exporting the photos in question the photos somehow revert all the way back to import settings even with a strong fast wifi connection present. Seriously. You are killing me. I can’t keep re-editing on PC. Make it work. Contact me if you need to. Your forums aren’t helping However as a working pro... heck even as an ambitious amateur I have recently (as in JUST NOW) experienced NUMEROUS (sometimes in the hundreds) instances of the app failing to retain or save updates to images. Even after they’ve been exported WITH changes applied. Move a few images on, keep editing and then at the end to your dismay they have NOT been saved. On top of that the previews frequently DO NOT update on the Lightroom desktop. Making it VERY frustrating when you go to make the high res exports. Finally: please include numerical fields for export resolution. 2048p and the mysterious “maximum available” is not acceptable. Adobe you may contact me to resolve this. I would otherwise be an evagenlist..Fifth-business64329Version: 3.3.1

Recent Update Killed ProductivityUpdate 8/2017: the latest update just broke the app even more. So unhappy. I'll be looking for alternatives to LR from now on. WHO was this built for??? Original review (2016): Recent reorganization of editing tools killed my productivity on iPad. Putting undo buttons at the top of the screen? Hiding ratings in a slideout menu? Adobe, stop breaking things. The app is cumbersome. It worked great the first time. Now I have to reach around the screen to accomplish things that were simple before, and on a 9 inch iPad, that's not always easy. Why not build out requested features rather than pointlessly tweaking the UI? Why not create different interface layouts based on task (e.g. rating, editing, organizing, etc.)..AnotherGuy2754Version: 2.8.2

Just make it LrC alreadyPlease stop trying to make this version of Lightroom a thing and make the actually useful Lightroom Classic available on the iPad. There is no reason that all the functionality of LrC can’t be implemented here..DDM151Version: 11.2.2

Keeps stopping the synchronizationLove it but keeps saying I need more storage cause it stops synchronizing.MarieMicheleJasminVersion: 11.2.1

Panorama?How is it 2026 and this app still doesn’t have the ability to create panoramas. Affinity photo does it miraculously. Come on adobe, it’s time to start using some of that greedy subscription money and start updating this app with stuff we actually want..PacificanadianVersion: 11.1.1

Not user friendlyThe AI recommends this app for editing photos, but it doesn’t work. First it opens the album, but then it just disappears..Gleb kemerovoVersion: 10.5.2

I can’t access premium features despite having a premium subscription. Y’all need to fix this asapI can’t access premium features d espite having a premium subscription. Y’all need to fix this asap. I’ve tried calling apple, adobe and everyone is telling me there isn’t a problem but I literally cannot access the features..LeleleleleeeeeleeeeeleeeeeVersion: 10.5.1

IPad Ver Crashes OFTENCannot edit pictures on the iPad version. Constantly crashing and restarting my device, which is compatible and newer model. iPad overheats while using, not even AI or masking tools. Restarting, redownloading doesn’t fix and 80% of my device storage is free. Used to never happen but in the last few months Lr iPad version is a brick. Boo..WithThePuddsVersion: 10.4.2

FailureI downloaded the app but it won’t work. Very disappointing.CaperrealtorVersion: 10.4

Pee pee poo pooThis made me throw up due to the taco bell i ate last night.XmchwVersion: 10.2.3

Useless don’t installAfter taking your information They want you to activate useless free trial just Don’t install they don’t even give you any free feature.User2o24Version: 10.1.3

HDR exportsIOS takes beautiful HDR pictures, you think you’ll improve them in Lightroom, which you do, but then no one else can view them, because there’s no compatible export options that allows to view them in the Photos app (JPG HDR isn’t supported) and AVIF files while are displaying (somewhat) correctly in HDR in the Photos app are simply broken when shared through iMessage. Adobe, you HAVE to make it work with the ecosystem if you want me to pay up..GDrag14Version: 10.1.1

Frustrating Use FeesVery disappointing feeling to feel so taken advantage of by a company who claims creativity is for everyone. I already pay for a full suite of adobe lightroom and other apps. But hey, wanna use your photos across all devices? Sorry thats gonna be an extra $30/monthnto the already existing membership fees..BubrbynubevVersion: 10.1.1

Meilleur et gratuit pas vraiJ’ai voulu utilisé cet application pour découpe et faire un assemblage de deux photos. Aussitôt que j’essaie quelque chose, on me redirige vers la version premium $$$$ donc, impossible de faire quoi que se soit! J’avais une application semblable par le passé, mais elle n’est plus supporté. Et pourtant elle faisait tellement mon affaire!.W.R. McFlyVersion: 9.5

It’s not freeForever asking for money but claiming to be free Be honest about it..Ghk123Version: 9.2.1

FIX THE CROP!!!!!This freaking glitch is incredibly annoying when you're trying to precisely crop the image and then it goes randomly elsewhere. Wth? You don't have q&a? iPad pro 11" m2.LeopardsnowVersion: 9.1

Since last update…What is going on? When I connect my Fujifilm X-S10 to my iPad Pro in order to upload RAF files… after a few seconds thumbnails start changing to black screens! After a while all the thumbnails turn black. Adobe - are you aware?.MbottawaVersion: 9.0

Sync problems after all this time?It is utterly unbelievable how while Adobe keeps adding meaningless new features, their so called ‘cloud’ keeps suffering from endless syncing problems. And this has been the case for years now. Complete disappointment.Jumpin'mackVersion: 9.0

No account upgrade optionBought a MacBook Pro today thinking I can start using it with my premium account for ipad app. At the very least, I thought I could upgrade it a step up to use across platforms for a an upgrade fee which comes up to 3$ a month. Nope. Have to set up new subscription for a full monthly amount so that I can use my mobile and laptop LR. I can’t even cancel my IOS subscription because I payed for a year. I guess I will keep using it on my iPad and go for something different..LesikdenisVersion: 8.5.1
