Yes, that's true, Godfrey. Adobe muddied the waters considerably by renaming "old" Lightroom to Lightroom Classic CC and added this multi-platform Lightroom CC app.
I had a quick look at it and determined it's a toy of no use to me. I never do quick edits on my iPad which is about its limit. Can't anyway: a single 645Z file would bring it entirely to its knees. They didn't think this idea through, is my conclusion. I mainly use Lr Classic CC but when I need it, I use Photoshop CC intensely and deeply. It's a Swiss Army Knife, extremely useful, flexible, and sharp. But complicated. Thank goodness for Google and Youtube. :-) BTW, Lr Classic CC leverages the cloud too. There are some features that sync out via the cloud, and you can sync images in your Portfolio space directly from Lr folders. There's a freebie storage space you can use to show friends and family too; I forget what that's called, but it's potentially useful for a social-media replacement (more private than Facebook or Instagram).
