Free mobile lightroom on android tablet

[Dale W5CED]

What is the score with the free version of LR for mobile android devices. I have sucessfully downloaded it onto my old android Nokia phone and it seem to work fine, not done anything serious on it as only downloaded it on there to see what features were on it before considering any purchased subscription.

I have now downloaded it on something with adecent screen, an android Samsung Galaxy Tab and trying to use it nothing actaully works, every option brings up a pop up screen stating  its a premium feature. 

Is this correct as it clearly states on the play store download page that the app is free to use on android devices?

Any help would be great, thanks.
