ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Adobe Lightroom for iPad holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Adobe Lightroom for iPad has 51K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Noiseware's written reviews are positive against 37% of Adobe Lightroom for iPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Noiseware ships an update every 3 months, Adobe Lightroom for iPad every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
