Amazing but some feedback to make it better
I’m a big fan. This has changed my life so much and so much better than Notion or notes app.
The biggest gripe I have is selecting a graph and entering my password each time I have to open my graph.
If I have entered it once on my device, could it just take me to daily notes on my last used graph? It would make life so MUCH easier

Problem with share sheet usability
Hello team, I love your tool but the share sheet Roam Research uses fails to be reliable as I can’t tell whether I saved something or if it even opened because a “post” does not prompt long enough for input before vanishing, or leaving me with a perceptibly dimmed screen. Sometimes I can get the share function of a website or photo to work but hardly. Please look into this. Also there is some ancestry with the api or a linking in the backend with an app on iOS called “Hints”. If someone has this app downloaded the share sheet function or any usability it added is gone as it for some reason opens this app instead of Roam. Super odd but to replicate:
1. Have ios 15 or 16, iphone or iPad and have “Roam Research” app and “Hints” app both installed on the device
2. Attempt a share sheet prompt to Roam Research for something
3. Get prompt to open in “Hints”
4. Deleted “Hints” app and this issue goes away =/

Doesn't work with apple pencil
The roam website lets you scribble directly into roam, but the iOS app doesn't allow it
Doesn’t launch
Just perpetually stuck in a loading screen.
Evernote app loads faster than Roam
Yes, Evernote works better on the iPad compared to Roam and I hope the developers feel my frustration 😡
Roam for Desktop is great, this app not so much
The app works as a quick reference, when I’m away from my computer that’s about it.
Lots of improvements since earlier versions!
External keyboard now works as expected; this is now a reasonable facsimile of the browser app and completely useable. A few more things of note: * it seems as though the editor uses Ctrl+↔️ to navigate to End- or Start-of-line - Mac convention is that Cmd+↔️ serves that function, so this is a little non-idiomatic * I couldn’t get Quick Capture to work on the iPad * On the i__Phone__, Quick Capture was frustrating since it would load a time-and-date-stamped note placeholder when you sent a note, but when you come back later to add a note, it still has the time you sent the last one as it’s timestamp with no clear way to fix it. * maybe this is just me? A feature request: * please add some shortcut integration points so we can write our own automations

Response from developer
Sorry to hear you're disappointed - re: external keyboards - we've fixed this issue in recent updates, if you give it another try it should work now
A back end developer made an app
Roam is a great product but this app is unusable. I literally can’t even search my notes or make quick entries on this.
Interface is beyond confusing and cumbersome. I recommend re-evaluating what users are trying to do and building a better interface for a mobile environment.

Great Start Roam Team … some details on external keyboard issue
Great start Roam Team! Keyboard issue fixed; working good on my end. Looking good!
last update bad update
it was completely dope, and i had very few complaints. After the last update, now i just get logged out all the time, super annoying. "logging in with google" doesn't work - brings me back to login screen with nothing filled out.
