iPad support for catalog or sessions

I use iPad for years now to create photographs. I used the Adobe mobile system because there was no C1 option available but their cloud enforcement is not working for me, I need a good Hard Disk environment and Adobe forces me to use a cloud. i have very limited internet acces, live a truly mobile life. And i prefer the C1 way of working but there was no iPad option available.

I am now'forced' to use C1 on a laptop. I love the features etc. been using C1 since a very long time on desktop systems in the past, I was an early adopter.

I also use the Affinity environment on iPad and laptop. They intergrate very good, i can switch from laptop to iPad and continue working. And they support HD use very wel.Have a good look at that, it is for me an example that serious design work is possible on iPads etc.

I find C1 mobile a bad joke. No integration to speak of, no possibility to work on content created on a desktop system. One way interaction only. And very limited creative options. Keystoning without guides or a grid? seriously? No curves?

IMHO C1 mobile is created for a very limited user group, tethered work only. C1 is about much more I think.

Look at the new iPads, look at what other software offers. We can work 100% mobile if we want, the tools are there. Only not on C1. Please give us a mobile version with catalog or session options. I use external disks on all systems, that works great with C1 on desktop, it should not be to complicated to make that work on iPad.

You introduced speed editing, I think that is the way to go with iPad. And then in a real iPad software model, not this current 'created for iPhone but works on iPad' software C1 mobile.

    I would really like to see either this - Catalog/Sessions support in C1 Mobile, OR full on what Adobe does with Full Sync functionality. For me, at this stage in the game, it's the one thing (and the lack of LR-esque Color Calibration equivalent tool and Vibrance tool) that holds me back from completely abandoning Lightroom. I hate Lightroom because of how utterly garbage the performance is, but the Sync feature largely solves this issue for me since I can use the performance of my iPad with a far better coded app to get all my culling, rating, and base edits done comfortably anywhere, which in turns speeds up Lightroom Classic by limiting the files being worked on. C1 doesn't have this problem, but it doesn't have the ability for me to be free to work on my photography in the most comfortable way possible anytime and anywhere (via iPad or phone - and no android support so that sucks too, so only iPad for me). There has to be a way. All of these new products - Live, Studio, etc. and still no proper workflow for remote work on mobile devices that has nothing to do with tethered work.

    creativity on iPad is a big thing. Adobe makes it possible, Affinity makes it possible. it is happening. Only without C1. Your choice.

    One more thing: the fact that you have no real iPads version of your software means that I did not use c1 for years and am stil not sure on what to do. I love the software but need an iPad version with a catalog or session.

    In other words, my hardware dictates my software, not the other way round. No viable c1 mobile? > no C1 but other software, like Affinity.
