Very frequent crashes during healing brushing on Mobile on IPAD Pro

I frequently have to kill and restart Lightroom when retouching. By frequently I mean every few minutes.The symptom is the app locking up and not responding. The app is really nice to work with for 5 minutes at a time. Most often this happens when resizing an image, but sometimes just at random. It always recovers fine when resta

 

Anyone else see this or similar? Is there anything I can do to stabilize it or is this par for the course?

    Nope. If you look at the preceding thread it is clear that this is a standing problem and there is no plan to fix it. They don't even acknowledge it.  This is a quality issue and Adobe gets a failing grade. No other drawing app ( eg Rebelle, Procreate) has this problem. If you want pro quality,  go to the desktop.

    Jeff I am even getting it on the lightroom standard creative cloud version (not classic so essentionally the same piece of software) on the desktop (yes latest version) I tried to upgrade from my mac laptop to a super computer I built as I thought it was an issue with the CPU and ram etc but even with a state of the art build it still constantly freezes even with light healing brush work.  Turns out the laptop is fine and all along it was lightroom... Again like only a restart of the software works... would love to find an alternative piece of cataloging/editing software so if anyone has any recommendations I'm all ears!!

    Are you sure you are using the correct version? There is 'Adobe Lightroom for iPad' and 'Adobe Lightroom Photo Editor'. The latter will most like install on the iPad too, but is meant for the iPhone only.

    I am using the IPAD version, got it from the Apple store. Why am I getting
    these errors when apparently no one else is? Something in the IPAD
    settings? I find Safari a bit flaky too, but otherwise the IPAD runs fine.

    Btw one more tip:
    a good brush size would be around 75 for zoomed out brushing.
    If you want to handle details its better to zoom in than change the brush size.
    Unless you need a really thin one. But even so zooming in to max might still be better.

    Thanks,
    Ignacio


    I'm not sure that zooming is a great solution since LR still frequently gets lost when resizing. And loses brush strokes when you get ahead of it. I'm not sure why it's so slow, from the users POV. whatever the reason, this app is still unstable, for me. Based on the workarounds it seems like  like my problems must be easily reproducible

     

    So LR Mobile is only useable if you slow your tempo and restart the thing when it gets lost. Is this the best we can expect? Adobe has a deserved reputation for producing professional grade software. But for that you have to go to LR Classic. Is there any plan to bring LR Moble up to that standard? Workarounds should be temporary.
