It was there for so long I really got used to it. I would sync a bunch of photo and use the speed review to quickly flag good and bad ones, it was a great way to make the most out of LR mobile. Could you please add it back>?
Yep, it was a really fantastic feature. Ultimately it was THE feature of Lightroom mobile. Can anyone shed some light as to why it was removed and (after the genius who removed it is flogged and tied to a rock) will it be restored?
The previous behaviour was well-thought-out and guaranteed a quick workflow. Now everything is a button again, no long press, no swipe. The buttons overlap the photos and are small and hard to hit. If you accidentally hit the wrong pick and are in an active filter you have to tap a lot to bring the pic back (no cmd+z and no shake to undo). I could go on ...
This is bad from any standpoint except for visual aspects its really pretty.
Who was the genius who removed this feature? Obviously he doesn't have to go through a wedding session to select rejected photos. Without this feature LR is almost useless to me. I hope someone with a brain puts it back on.
You moved the cheese guys. The swipe for speed review in Lightroom mobile is gone with the latest update 2.6.0. This is one of the MAJOR reasons i used lightroom on mobile as it speeds up my workflow tremendously, and now i have to aim at a small button to flag reject, another for pick, 4 stars, etc etc. Very bad move. Please, please restore this ASAP.
This is (was?) a valued capability in LR Mobile. Using LR mobile has been a key aspect of my culling of files prior to serious editing. Need it back.
By the same token, I really like most of the other LR Mobile feature updates/refreshes - and look forward to them being implemented for iPad so I can fully leverage my new iPad Pro....
The swipe flag and star feature was the main reason to have Lightroom mobile installed for me. If it's not in the new version I cannot upgrade. Adobe has a history of introducing great features and then removing them again. Was there any complaint about this features from users, so that there was a reason to remove it?
Adobe just please trash the new version of Lightroom Mobile entirely? No one likes it, except perhaps your programmers who have to justify their jobs by changing stuff all the time. If you didn't realize that bit of human psychology before, please realize it now?
I actually prefer the new version. According to the release's blog post they also performed user testing to look at how people actually wanted to use LR Mobile. It's impossible to satisfy everybody, but it sounds like they are doing real research and trying to satisfy most people.
An optimist! Rare creature! News reporters often ask people who know nothing about it what they think too! They ask enough people and it's a poll of know-nothings.
You catch more flies with honey. There is a difference between insisting what you want as a consumer and trolling like a teen because it's not what you want.
PPS- "it sounds like they are doing real research and trying to satisfy most people". Not if they are reading this blog, it's like 99% against the new version. (It covers the freaking photo!)
Hey Carlos. I totally agree with you. Adobe doesn't seem to have tested the new version fully before releasing it, with real-world working professional photographers... which unfortunately seems to be consistent with their other buggy software releases. Since you said, like me, that the star review interface is covering your photos, I assume you are using Lightroom Mobile on a phone-sized screen? I mean, it's a "mobile" app, so shouldn't it work on all mobile devices... not just a tablet?!? Anyway, fwiw, since Adobe isn't commenting about fixing this issue, I found a sort of workaround. I use Lightroom for Web (https://lightroom.adobe.com/), opening it in a windowless browser on my phone. "Private Browser" by SavySoda is a good one for iOS. Then, you can view your photos full screen, with a less obtrusive ratings interface. It's not ideal, but at least it's an improvement over the new Lightroom Mobile interface, at least until adobe fixes what they broke.
Where did one-swipe star ratings go after the last Dec. 8th update for Lightroom Mobile?!?! Can I roll
back my update to get this back? Or please bring it back! You've added
an extra tap to get to star ratings in the "Rate and Review" section of
the app. This is extremely cumbersome when reviewing thousands of
images. Why would you get rid of the one-swipe up quick rating system?
It worked great. When is it going to be brought back??? (I am using an iPhone SE, fwiw)
I find it easier to touch a star button than slide my thumb to select a star in speed review mode. I guess everyone has their own opinion of what's easiest.
Please keep the new 2.6.0 functionally if speed review mode is ever brought back.
But on an iPhone, the star buttons cover the entire photo. It's bad interface design. So when you tap to make them go away (so you can see your photo you are reviewing), then you have to tap again, then tap again to star or flag. It's a whole lot of tapping. And having to do that thousands of times when you want to review a shoot, makes this app now unusable for that purpose on an iPhone.
The real gem in the speed review was the ability to quickly pick and reject photos using the flag effortlessly ... it was one the selling feature i would tell my photographer friends who use LR but not LRMobile to give Mobile a shot ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄
Chiming in on this too. Really miss the speed review, and finding the new Review screen to be a much slower and less flexible solution. Would love to have the gesture back, at least as an opt-in feature.
Kind of. You have to switch to the "Review" tab in order to use it ... which defeats the purpose in my opinion. Once I have switched to the Review tab, the onscreen buttons were fast enough to use. The whole point of the request was to be able to use the Speed Review while in the "Edit" tab, without having to switch to the "Review" tab first.
Hopefully they will improve this further. Or rather ... put it back how it used to be.

Please re-implimentate swipe gestures.
