Leave a Review Lightroom Photo & Video Editor
Would have been 5 star if not for storage restrictions
Noting currently beats for rapid photo development on a mobile like Lightroom. AI features are blazing fast on iOS devices compared to desktop! My biggest gripe is the inability to edit images directly off internal iOS files storage or external storage ( Davinci resolve can do with 4K footage - so this can’t be a technical issue). This forces to pay more for LR cloud space as base 20 Gb is absolutely paltry. Microsoft gives 1Tb for comparison. Adobe just wants to leech money out of customers by forcibly restricting storage options. At least give 100Gb with the plan for non - pros! I am not a pro who earns money from Photography- so it’s literally extortion to ask 10£ per month more for just storage. Pity - Adobe has brilliant engineers but clouded by sleazy money grabbers in the finance department.Show lessPradeepw

Can’t a single app allow one or two attempts without signing up for everything!?JEJ Sharp

Hello! We apologise for the frustration caused. A sign-up is required to access all the features of our app. However, we appreciate your feedback and will consider it for future updates. ^RcBrilliant
Great for a beginner photographer like me.
Learning how to use it for my Apple Pro Raw photos and colour my video Log files is very easy.
It has a really user-friendly interface but is powerful enough to get complicated as your skills advance.Ron Rhythm
Good app
I really like this app. Only thing is, the subscription. They keep removing features one by one but as long as you make your own presets and as a beginner, it’s enough. So really the subscriptions is for those who want to dedicate to the app to make their photos better. Also the subscriptions are not as bad as it sounds either. They have their month to month plan, but if you look at the yearly one, it’s like two months for Netflix worth. Maybe three depending on the plan. Point is, it’s affordable, but I recommend if you are serious. It’s a good app for mobile and if you don’t have a good program on your pc. Also I want to note, editing photos is super fast and fun. Once you find a nice tutorial, it’s easy to mess with. Either way, I give it five stars cuz of the quality and experience. And I don’t blame them too much for the paid walls. After all, is newbies tend to over analyze things and having this paid wall helps with picking this or maybe go with something else.Show lessJudaix
Hands down the greatest app
Lightroom is hands down the greatest photo editing app out there, and I use A LOT of photo editing applications. I might run one photo through multiple apps to create the desired effect, but it all starts with Lightroom . If you don’t yet have the app “Lighty” you might want to check it out, too. You get free daily Lightroom filters that are legit. Being able to view other peoples edited photos that are shared in Lightroom, and being able to “copy” the filters those individuals used to create a particular photo, is unheard of…until Lightroom. I have been asked umpteen times by friends, family, and followers, of my Facebook page if I would be interested in photographing their important event, and when I tell them all I have is my iPhone, not a “real” camera, they are blown away. “You take all those pictures on your PHONE?” they exclaim. I tell them they can too, and direct them to Lightroom.Show lessKayesway
Support is garbage, app is glitchy.
I’ve been using Adobe products professionally now for the better part of 20 years, and I’m frankly baffled that Lightroom CC (now simply Lightroom) is so highly rated here. Whilst I don’t expect an iOS app to be as robust, stable or feature-rich as it’s Desktop predecessor and counterpart, the app has serious issues. Cloud sync (in fact sync in general) is frustratingly unreliable, and the software itself is slow and glitchy, even on a new-ish iPad Pro. When bugs pop up (which they frequently do after software upgrades, and also for no discernible reason whatsoever) Adobe’s autobot and human chat support are equally useless – frequently, chats with agents are ended before any questions are even addressed. It’s inexcusable for a high end, ongoing paid subscription service. Ultimately, the disruptions to my professional workflow have been so dire that I am moving everything back to Lightroom Classic, and just wish I didn’t have to pay for this watered down rubbish in order to use LrC.Show lesswerriston

Lightroom user for over a decade. Love the integration across all my devices, computer, iPhone, iPad. I love that at a shoot, I can use my iPhone or iPad to shoot in the same album as my DSLR images will end up. In fact I always download my SD cards into my iPad Lightroom before I leave every shoot. I’m backed up as soon as possible. Then selecting on Lightroom mobile is amazing. I can make my way through thousands of images quickly - rejecting, starring, quite fast. By the time I get to my desk I’m down to editing “the good ones”. I actually prefer some editing on iPhone or iPad due to the speed and convenience. Then for the most advanced or detailed editing, the computer version is top notch. Intelligent AI selections of subject and background are usually close to perfect. I can then adjust just subject or just background with ease. The modern Lightroom has replaced 5+ different tools that used
to be in my workflow. And it’s all available to me on all my devices or even a random web browser. I’m not sure I would enjoy photography as much as I do without Lightroom.Show lessericwastaken
Terrible and counterproductive changes
To preface this this app used to be great. It had amazing potential for editing photos and was very user friendly. This all changed in a recent update. Money hungry greed has overcome this app implementing changes making it so to back up photos to the app you must pay for a subscription. What used to happen was you could upload pictures to the app and come back and edit them anytime you wanted. They would be saved to a gallery and that gallery would stay saved even if you deleted the app. I had pictures of a dead relative saved to the app but having the pictures available to me in a time of sadness was unhealthy and believing i can get the pictures back by redownloading the app anytime led me to delete the app. When the greedy payment system for cloud storage was implemented all of my photos linked to the gallery on my account were erased and upon redownloading the app all of my pictures of a dead relative, pictures i can never get back are all gone and its all adobes fault. I then purchased a subscription believing that i just needed to access the cloud function to get my pictures back but no, theres nothing there. This app will delete your cherished memories to make way for stuffing their pockets. I will be canceling the payment from my bank for the subscription.Show lessWilliam Van Wyck

Amazing
I have used Adobe for several years and I have tried some of the others, most notably the one that sounds similar to rapture bun.
But I’ve always been so impressed by the flawless functionality that Adobe offers with this suit for the price.danewett
