Needs updates
     
by Graigs · March 2, 2026

Wonderful program, super quick. And easy. My only complaint is that there’s no AI noise reduction. Please add that adobe. Please. It’s so close to fully featured, why not just add the couple of features? Also. Why can’t I open an image on iCloud Drive.

Frustrating and Disappointing if you are a professional photographer.
     
by wildlifelover1 · March 30, 2026

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.

Some Features Lost
     
by HT_HT_HT · February 15, 2026

It needs to allow users to star or flag multiple photos at once by select -> star. There is serious efficiency loss if the user cannot do this.

Missing quick facial beautification function from Phone version
     
by Power_Alexander · December 18, 2025

Missing quick facial beautification function from Lightroom phone version. Can’t believe that the iPad version of Lightroom is weaker and less functional than phone version. It’s a waste of my 2TB M5 iPad Pro.

Error when copying settings

Can’t copy and paste settings. App gives an error. Can’t create presets either. Fix it

RAW Paywall?
     
by sullyflicks · January 29, 2026

Rating this 1 star so the devs see (otherwise 2 stars). I was using this app no problem completely free. Was taking photos on my RX100 MKII and exporting them in RAW format to edit. Many of the AI features were stuck behind a paywall but that was fine because I just wanted to retouch the colors. However, a few days ago I noticed I could no longer edit the photos I had been uploading previously, and it was now behind a paywall. At that point, why even use Lightroom? All of the professional features and dialed in color editing that I could use with RAW was just blocked behind a paywall. At that point I could just use apple's built in software and get the same results because all JPEG edits the same. Thanks Adobe. Please fix this.

Don’t get the subscription
     
by Adobe subscriptions suck · April 21, 2026

The app is good, with good features, but when I need to cancel it they charge me 60$ it’s outrageous. Just let me cancel instead of scamming me

Great app for iPad
     
by Beaver1002 · March 16, 2026

Overall, this is a very good app for photo editing on my iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. Everything seems to work as intended. My iPad does get hot and the app starts to lag a little but other than that it’s a fantastic app. Now here’s the real reason I gave it a four star instead of a five. The brush tool on here should have auto masking so when you’re painting with the brush, you don’t go outside of the lines of what you’re masking.
