In October, we released Lightroom 2.0 for iOS which made it possible to use Lightroom on iPhones and iPads without a paid subscription, and the response has been phenomenal. Today we’re excited to announce Lightroom for Android version 1.4, which adds the same free offering for Android users. The ability to use Lightroom for mobile without a paid subscription means that anyone can take advantage of the organizational, editing, and sharing abilities that Lightroom for mobile offers. Signing up for a free trial or logging in with a Creative Cloud subscription adds the ability to synchronize files and edits with Lightroom on a desktop or laptop, as well as with Lightroom Web.
We’re really excited to continue our focus on Android and pleased that Lightroom for mobile was recently listed by Google as one of the top apps of 2015. We’ve seen Android grow as a platform over the years, with billions of users around the world. As a photography platform, Android is making huge leaps and strides. New devices are being launched all the time with better and better cameras, and with the launch of Lollipop and the ability to shoot raw DNG files, Android provides one of the most powerful photography platforms available. Lightroom for Android supports raw DNG workflows making it possible to enhance images and take full advantage of all of the quality and details found in images captured on Android devices. If you’d like to read more about the exciting abilities that DNG can offer, check out this awesome blog post by our friend, Martin Evening.
We’re committed to making Lightroom Mobile for Android better and better and can’t wait to share some of the improvements we’re working on. Keep checking back with us, but for now, download Lightroom Mobile for Android 1.4 today!
This version, like ALL previous versions, keeps logging me out. It does not have the option of saving my account info and that makes it a real pain.
Sorry to hear about that Don, will look into that ASAP!
I contacted them about this and i was told it is a known issue and they are working on it. that was mid October…Wish they would get it fixed
Still looking into it Don. Seems like there’s an issue we’ve been trying to track down for some time, but the problem has been that it’s not easily reproducible. The occurrence has reduced significantly, but that doesn’t help you with your issue…
So does this mean we’ll see the new LrM iOS UI on Android soon? The old LrM Android UI is just awful, way too much scrolling to find your collections.
