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)

I'm a left handed person. Now, for me is almost impossible to work in my IPad, or IPhone, with the new Lightroom CC. I think that Adobe could (should!) do something to make the life of the thousands of left handed costumers, that regularly use Lightroom CC in portable devices.

Yes, please do add this functionality. Affinity for iPad already has it.

Agree with OP. Lightroom Mobile is a pain for left handed users at the moment

It is a bit ridiculous that LR Mobile (and the desktop apps for that matter) do not have this functionality. Left handed creatives are being shut out over a simple feature that should be very easy to implement. I love using the iPad Pro + Apple Pencil for editing, but it is rendered useless for lefties by the fact that the adjustment panels are locked to the right side of the screen. While left handed folks edit, their hand, wrist, and arm are in the way of the image. It's a constant struggle to make a adjustments. Get with it Adobe, you're not listening to your customer base there are posts about this missing "feature" dating back 7 years ago.

Agree here too! Just purchased the Wacom Cintiq Pro and I had no idea that in 2017 I would be hampered because I was Left Handed! I called Adobe and the response was so poor in terms of customer service. I use LR for 95% of my editing and feel I have wasted $2000 because Adobe LR doesn't support Left handed people using touch screens. ( response from Adobe support person was 'just edit in PS' Super helpful NOT! Thanks dude! 😞 For now, I'm turning my screen upside down and working that way, no good enough

I totally agree!  It would be extremely helpful if Adobe would give its left-handed customers the option of moving the tools panel to the left side of the screen, or simply move the location to the bottom of the screen so that it works equally well for both right-handed and left-handed users.  The current location is very frustrating for left-handed customers.
