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

Adding keywords and sublocation/city/state/country data is critical to my workflow. Lightroom mobile is essentially useless to me without the ability to edit those fields.

I think I will be repeating pretty much what has already been said, but key word, and copyright adjustment (to add the © symbol to images from cameras that don't support it), these things would be huge helpful to me, and really speed up my workflow.  With the editing capabilities that have been added to LR mobile in recent updates, I am really surprised that this feature is still not available.  

Anyway, Adobe please add key word support!  I am sure a huge amount of photographers who use and love you products would be extremely grateful.

It is ridiculous that we are still having this conversation this far down the line. Today saw the addition of HDR for LR Mobile and yet we still have no Metadata (at all) on the iPAD. For working professional photographers Metadata is an intrinsic part of the image! It's looking more and more like Adobe are aiming this tool at the people that want to make pretty pictures and not those that are actually (still) trying to make a living from those pictures.

I moved over from Photoshop Elements to Lightroom a year ago mostly because of the LRMobile app's potential. I agree that mobile keywording and metadata maintenance are the most useful functions for me and likely for many others. I was shocked when I learned that it was (and still is) omitted from the latest LRM build. Come on Adobe, step up!

I need caption and/or description info accessible on mobile when I add info about photos to social media posts, since I simply can't remember, especially names of flora and fauna.

Need to be able to search keywords and edit keywords but at the very least search keywords in lightroom mobile. Should also be able to search by filename.

C'mon Adobe, enable KEYWORDS for mobile and web. It's so basic it's crazy that you haven't done it. Criminal almost. You charge monthly fee for LR and PS and decide to implement this unusable smart search feature on the web portal and NO SEARCH on mobile? Keywords are just a bunch of words associated with images. I think Justin Bieber could probably program keywords into Lightroom Mobile so what's the hold up?!?!?!?And FYI this should allow one to both search through existing keywords, but also to edit/add keywords to photos so that they can be saved into the catalog. That way people can label their photos regularly from their phone or web portal.
You have the money and know-how, DO IT or explain what type of existential issues you are having with this cause it's been years!!
