To make Lightroom Mobile useful for Editing, Sequencing & Showcasing work - would like to see features such as - Custom Sort Order (User Order), Ratings and Keywords sync back and forth...

Honestly more than the Basic Panel for Develop is not an essential for mobile, which is already available... Releasing more Library Module Tools will really make Lightroom Mobile a great Companion App...

I hope these features are on the horizon?

Yes please add keywords and the title would be very useful for presenting purposes.

sorting photos by category, adding key words and being able to export photos jpg prviews) with all metadata in them are extremely important to me.

Although nice to be able to edit photos on mobile what I really want to do for those short trips when I don not take MacBook is to

1) Review photos and dismiss ones I do not want to keep. Minimal editing needed to do this , crop, light adj., sharpen, straighten.

2) Rename files.

3) Add keywords and geo-tag.

4) Occasionally share with others.

Then when I get back home I can review and improve editing on larger iMac as all the photo management has been done.

Absolutely in favour of adding keywording to LR mobile. This would increase the usefulness tremendously! And the only sensible way to implement this would indeed be to have the keyword structure of the main catalog available in Mobile.

Pleeeease, may we have access to our desktop-based keyword hierarchy on LR Mobile? This would be even more useful to me than the Develop tools. The iPad is a great platform for culling and organizing, and that includes keywords. I want to be able to apply keywords to photos (and have them sync back, of course), and I want to be able to see those photos that have one or more specified keywords.

Geotagging would be nice too, though that's a lower priority for me.

Yes, one option is to edit metadata in Photosmith first then export back to the native photos app then into Lightroom. But that's a lot of extra work and it would be nice to get down to one app for everything.

Seems poorly thought out. If the intent is not to show work to others, why include transitions between pix but not real sort order functionality on the iPad. Very confusing, especially to anyone who has used other photo apps. Thought I had found the perfect photo edit/photo display for my mini. Not yet.

The power of the iPad is being able to review and sort images when away from the main computer. For me this means I need to be able to edit / add *all* metadata, not just keywords. I can do this with Photosmith already but I would rather use just one app and Lightroom Mobile would be the obvious choice.

Is this planned?
