P: (iPadOS): Swap panels for Left-Handers

The current (08-2017) build on Lr Mobile places the tools on the right' for left handed people especially when using a iPad Pro and the iPencil, this causes serious functionality issues, as using the sliders etc means the left hand is over the image...it would be great if the location of the tools could be moved back to the bottom (prefered) or be selectable (left or right side)

Agree. Come on Adobe, there are other apps out there that don't have the same resources as you but offer this functionality. It makes it difficult to see what you are editing with your hand in the way. Help us to enjoy your product and our hobby.

I use LR on a Samsung S4 tablet and it's driving me nuts! When is this feature coming to android?

It's been a year. Will the left-handed mode ever be available for Windows users? I'm using a Wacom Cintiq and it's painfully cumbersome to use as a left-hander. What an incredible oversight. Adobe, please fix this!

The option to move control panels to the left on iPad as currently I block the pic when editing.
