Hi,

If using the free version of LrMobile, any photos you add/import are only stored locally on the device in the app space. If you then delete the app from the device, the operating system removes it entirely, including the cached photos. The only way you can get them back is if you had backed up the device (iTunes or iCloud) before deleting the app, so that you should be able to restore the app and the photos from the backup.

One of the things you can always do is to re-store you iPhone from an iOS backup. Since the Lr data is part of sucha backup all you data would be preserved. - Guido/ Lr MObile QE
