Sync, at least for RAW/DNG files, is appallingly slow. There are no max upload speed settings and I don't have any data or battery restrictions set by Android and the Wi-Fi is fine. I left approx. 250 files to sync overnight and no more than 10 of them uploaded in the span of 10 hours. No issues with Google Photos or Dropbox, or even Lightroom on the iPad. The camera widget still refuses to be placed on the home screen on the Pixel 8 Pro too.

I installed this because of the camera features. After installing you have to apparently long press the icon and then you can take a photo, unintuitive but whatever. I then proceeded to take a bunch of pictures of something I was going to paint, so I had a before and after. I then proceeded to paint the subject, took some more pictures - great. Then I went to upload the images and found out NONE of them had been saved. Apparently there is some other things you need to do before it saves. garbage

So weirdly enough. This app became basically unusable after the 10.0 update. A dialog box stating that Lightroom has stopped responding along with with the choices stop or wait. I thought I was screwed but as it turns out all I really had to do was uninstall the app and then reinstall it. Pretty inconvenient overall, but the functionality of this app is crazy. Being able to share a library and presets between my phone and my PC is super useful. Crop is still broken as of current update, however.

Could be a great app, but lacking optimization at least on the Pixel 9 Pro leaves this with two stars. Loading (Nikon) raw files is slow, as is editing (laggy during crop) and exporting. Loves to reboot when editing and switching to another app (despite 16g of ram). More so, why do I have to be in the app to export files (still at an excruciatingly slow speed)? PS: exporting seems even slower on there latest version! And yes, partially some could be due up Google ram management silliness.

let me get this right, if you want to edit a video and you don't "pay to play" the only options you have are, ¹download the app, ²import your video, ³tap edit, ⁴look at all the, not so many, options that you could use if you had or will pay the price. I guess by reading the reviews and amount of downloads I mistakenly judged a book by it's cover. ironically it didn't exceed my expectations, it didn't even reach my expectations! Samsung Kids on my phone has better editing options and looks better

This app was great, used it for years, and then suddenly it keeps giving me the error "Failed to load development version" anytime I try to import a new photo to edit. I've Uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it won't let me edit anything anymore. Right before I'm supposed to go on vacation, too. 😭

This is my go to app for editing! I love the convenience of how simple the app is to navigate and the range of possibilities with editing that you can do. However, the new update has made the generative remove tool not work properly. I mainly photograph children, so there is always something to remove in the background of the pictures from me having to chase them around. Please try to get this fixed as soon as possible. Thank you!

I'm getting really tired of edits not being saved UNLESS you leave the photo and view the gallery before going to another application. I edited 3 photos, went to answer a text, come back to the app to see nothing saved. Nothing save on ANY of those photos? Give me a save button then so I can do it manually The amount of spam ratings on here is insane, too. Adobe paying for their app to look good?

This app is worthless. First, the screen is unreadable, with dark gray text on a darker gray background. Second, it won't upload photos from the LR Camera. The upload status just spins for hours without result. The only reason I installed it was for the camera, I'm not going to "edit" photos with my finger on a tiny screen. As soon as I send this, I'm uninstalling.

Edit: Again, I am using the free trial so you would think that would include all of the features available with the paid version. Otherwise, what is the point of the free trial? I installed this app to try to remove an object from a video of mine. The remove option is grey, most options are grey actually, so I can't select them. I've tried the free trial. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I can't find an app, even with a paid subscription, that will allow me to actually use this feature.
