Is Lightroom on Android also too slow for you?

Re: Is Lightroom on Android also too slow for you?

The Tab A was released May 2016 and has 3GB RAM. It runs anything else fine. It is just the loading of photos that is slow, not any rendering/editing. Our iPad of the same age loads photos as fast as the wifi will allow, but there is an understandable pause when any edits are made whilst it computes.

The Note 7 came out August 2016 and has 4GB RAM. Maybe I am getting old, but 4GB of RAM sounds a lot to me still and LR not working on a 3 year old flagship doesn't seem acceptable. I could understand it being poor on the cheap Tab.

Just waiting for the wife to make some space on her S9 so I can try on that, which was released in March 2018. Have only heard a couple of mixed reports on how well it works on newer devices.
