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

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.

Is there any word on when keywords will be added to LR Mobile?
Please, please make it happen!

Thanks

So for three years we have been asking for Keywords and for three years it has not been delivered. Will we have to wait for the next ice age for it to delivered? There must be a way to sync the keyword list with the cloud. we can export it, we can import it, so why can we not lightroom mobile it?

Been asking for this for a couple of years now.  The program's editing features keep getting better and are now very good.  Just wish they would listen to how many of us really want the ability to add and search on keywords that we apply.  Please add the ability to add keywords.  For me this is much more important to the AI method of automatically identifying keywords as done in programs like Google photos.

My holy grail is mobile presentation. I want all my selects available anywhere, and to be able to present them (usually on a big screen TV via AirPlay). To make this work, you need the ability to FIND, FILTER, and SELECT the images that meet your criteria and are buried in 10's of thousands of images stored in the cloud. 

When I started to work with LR Mobile, I was excited - clearly this is Best in Class software and has much of what is needed: Organize & sort by collection; filter by Rating, Flag, Likes or Comments. So far, so great.

It also has a basket of cool but crazy editing powers, but I mean really - are there are lot of users utilizing tone curves, vignetting, split toning, and lens corrections while editing on their iPhone? OK, maybe on your iPad, but probably this would still be done best at a desktop.

But the need for flexible and powerful mobile presentation is real and growing. Being able to search on keywords is absolutely crucial. 

I am trying to transition entirely to LR and this is my sole impediment. Right now, I have to export selects to Apple Photos because it has this feature, and they really implement it right: Search for "Bridge" in iOS Photos and it returns all people with names containing Bridge, all locations that contain bridge, and anything key worded as bridge. (And the desktop version adds all images it has identified as containing a bridge - pretty amazing).

Many of us years ago even asked Bridge to give us a mobile app that ONLY added metadata, but apparently Adobe doesn't think enough of us want to do that, while everyone wants to add cool filter effects to their images. I think that's thinking about the feature backwards. Build the better mousetrap, the people will come—make keywording more accessible any time by using the Cloud and mobile apps to do it, and more people will make better use of it.

And now that it goes along with contributing to Adobe Stock, it makes sense for it to get much higher priority. Maybe it IS on their radar. So far, we've only had hope.
