## What is LrBuddy?

Lr Buddy is an iOS app that helps photographers who use Adobe Lightroom ™ add location and metadata to their photos. To be useful this App requires that you own a copy of Lightroom and that you download our free Lightroom plugin.

Lr Buddy automatically records the location information for photos and will allow you to add keywords, star rankings, colors and other metadata to your photos as you shoot them. Everything gets sent to the cloud and after you import your photos into Lightroom all the location and metadata is automatically synced for you.

This Program updates your location in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. We have done our best to minimize battery use and have included several settings to optionally maximize battery life further by disabling some features.
