Verdict
Lightroom offers polished, easy editing tools, but a meaningful slice of reviewers hit crashes, freezes, and paywalls that block core features like masking.
Best for
Someone who already pays for a Lightroom subscription (through school, work, or a bundle) and wants a mobile editor that matches the desktop workflow.
Dealbreaker
Many real editing features sit behind the subscription, and a notable number of users report the app crashing or freezing, sometimes even while they're paying for premium.
