The current (08-2017) build on Lr Mobile places the tools on the right' for left handed people especially when using a iPad Pro and the iPencil, this causes serious functionality issues, as using the sliders etc means the left hand is over the image...it would be great if the location of the tools could be moved back to the bottom (prefered) or be selectable (left or right side)

Hello Community, I was struggling with the same issue, until today,  that I asked Google. I found the answer for iPad Pro. Go to the three (3) dots ... then got the App Settings, Scroll down to INPUT there you will find on the INTERFACE the option for LEFT-HANDED EDITING. Just turned it on, close and re-open Lightroom and there we have it. I'm  happy I found it!

Make adobe Lightroom amazing. Allow the ease of use for left handers. If you do, I'll stay for as long as I am a photographer.

Hi.  I use Lightroom on my iPad.  Very happy with the program but wish to be able to move the toolbar from right side to the left side because I use my Apple Pencil with my left hand. they would facilitate my work. Are there any settings for them or can it be an idea for the program.  Thanks

In iPadOS this is possible, In iOS it is not.
