Ok
I may have screwed things up a little bit. I am in the proces of moving from LR to Photomator. I purchased the lifetime license and have the app both on my phone and ipad as well.
Everything works great but for one or other stupid reason I looked at my icloud usage and saw Pixelmator was using 1.4gb and the 20 odd files I saw there I could not find in my photos. I thought it may be old photos when I once played around with pixelmator and went ahead and deleted them.
Since then I get the message as per the title every time I do an edit and click the 'done' button. This is only on the phone and ipad app. The one on the mac works fine.
I got a workaround by changing edits to save to the device and not icloud but that is obviously not what I want.
I did try to delete and reinstall the apps but no joy.
Any help would be appreciated.

And so the plot thickened. I logged a ticket and it was suggested I edit a file and then turn saving off from icloud to saving it on the device. Next step was to delete the app and reinstall it after which I should switch back to icloud saving.
Tried it on both my phone and ipad but now Photomator tells me icloud is unavailable and I cant toggle the switch.
As a new user trying to move from LR to Photomator this 'bug' so early in my adoption is concerning.

OK, after further investigation it seems like edits I do on any of my devices do 'transfer' to the other devices even though they do say 'icloud is unavailable'.
Strange behaviour but it does seem to work like it should.
