I'd really, really like to be able to do keywording on my iPad in the LR mobile app. Could save me a lot of Google-time back at the desktop trying to figure just where I was standing for that shot, and what's the name of that building, mountain, river, village etc, etc

Follow this thread: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/12/lightroom-mobile-december-releases.html, apparently keywording is on the list and moving up. So hopefully we'll see it soon..
Our feedback has been heard by Adobe.

The users are listening but Adobe pretends to be totally deaf....

Hello Adobe, is anyone listening. We NEED Lr Mobile keywording.

I just signed up for trial and assumed keyword capability would be available on the mobile apps - without this capability I can't purchase.

Yikes, this topic is 3 years old already?

Is there any word yet on whether this feature is still being considered, in development, canceled, ...? After all, it HAS been 3 years since this was being requested.

This feature - or rather, the lack thereof - has pushed many users to not using this app, or to using different apps for doing the same thing. It is a highly vital functionality for mobile use specifically: whether for filtering through photos to show specific ones (which you tend to do a lot with mobile), or when working through photos and doing some basic pre-editing and cataloguing when on the move after a shoot (adding keywords). These are things where the mobile app could be SO valuable for actually doing some work, but the key(word) (pun intended) functionality is missing for it to shine.

Apart from keywords I am really missing the possibility to add captures to the images. In fact, this is already possible in Lightroom mobile for iPhone. Very strange that it is not there in the iPad version ...
So I hope adding this feature to the iPad version is not too far in the future.

synced keywording to the main catalog is a feature that would make the Lightroom mobile app useful.

This is the dead topic... Adobe unfortunately do not care about this feature... 😞

Please allow keywording in LR Mobile. I even like to see keywords and collections broken out of LR and treated as a separate app. I'd like to see this on the Mac as well as iOS.
