Rate & Review on LR mobile for iPad [Why has Speed rating has been removed in LR Mobile version 2.8?]

Work around in the meanwhile: touch the top icon at the right (settings/develop - not sure about it's name) and the settings pane will disappear. Do the same with the film strip icon at the bottom and the image is now covering most of the screen, leaving just the stars and flags at the bottom.

They are a bit finicky and the speed rating should be re-added - but let's not over-dramatize; the application has come a long way on the iPad.

The strangest thing is that the Rate & Review still exists on iPhone. This has to be a bug where they forgot to deploy the R&R to the iPad release. This is a critical function and has to come back. I think a lot of end users has this feature as the main reason they have Lightroom Mobile.

This was the ONLY reason I synched to the iPad.

I have read in a couple of places that it is (hopefully) due to come back.

This was the most useful feature on iPad and it is really poor that it is gone now.

This is insane. I will start looking for other apps. They can't get anything right. They remove working features every release. When we ask why they say it's am intended change. As a wedding photographer I cant waste time with this any longer. I'll shoot a futile email and stop my subscription.

Unbelievable, you'd think they'd learn from the other times they've taken away speed rating and everyone complained.

I use Lightroom Mobile for quick triage / selecting keepers on the go. Speed rating in the full screen view is much easier than hunting and pecking at that tiny flag while looking at a partial screen view.

Just launched LR 2.8.0 for the first time after updating. Why has the speed rating/review tool been removed? This was possibly the cornerstone of usage I had for LR on my ipad. Dump images in from LR, work though reviewing/rating/selecting.

Not convinced by the edit screen changes either - far too much screen estate is needed for the controls vs showing the image.

The loss of speed rating on the iPad (along with cramped image display while editing) is a serious step backward.  A definite hit to my workflow.
