Fatal bug
Bottom bar has disappeared in the latest update, trapping me in quick capture mode only. I don’t use quick capture mode, so the app is unusable for me now. Was working well while it lasted.
Limited Page Only View, Why?
Why is the mobile app restricted to what seems to be a quick capture now? I'm back to using the PWA, because I want all the features available from my phone.
If the reason is a memory issue for some people, let others toggle the current view.
I'd be glad to bump up my rating if this gets fixed. It's frustrating since the team feels out of touch with users after seeing this.

Got the latest update. The bottom tabs are all gone. I don’t know how to use this apps anymore. I’m a power user and looking forward to native mobile experience for so long.
Over past few months, failed loading on the main graph, failure, extensive delay syncing of quick note. Really disappointed. I’m done with mobile app. Will use apple note for quick note and transfer to roam when I’m with the laptop or pc.
Roam is my second brain and I have no word to this app experience. Honest feedback: clojuredart, SwiftUI, ReactNative, firebase are not important. It’s 2022, just get a mobile app working. The best tech disappear, especially true for tool for minds.

Lame
No back button. No add link button. No dark mode. Share sheet from browser takes multiple steps and is not configurable. Only one tiny update 3 months after launch. Lame.
Good on iPhone, unusable on iPad
At present, the app cannot be used with an external keyboard on iPad. For me, that makes it unusable.
disappointing UX
Roam is an expensive service with significant VC funding. Yet a year after development all we get is a basic web wrapper that offers nothing for the mobile experience. I am not even talking about better iOS integration.
The core product has not seen any major feature updates for a long time. Only promises.
I am still a supporter of roam but the team need to deliver faster. Much faster.

More problems with external keyboard
Similar to another reviewer, I have also been having problems with my external keyboard. I am unable to use my delete or arrow keys, which makes the app unusable. Was really looking forward to being able to use the app, but disappointed with the results.
Great as a supplement on a mobile device
I use Roam primarily on my iPad Pro in Safari but I use this app as my portable task list and notepad on my iphone i.e. when I’m mobile. Sure you lose some functionality but the app is mostly a convenience tool in it’s present state, and it does a good job of that. It was very inconvenient to access and use the web version on an iphone.
Roam is not a perfect solution, but it’s what you make of it — you are the designer of your own system. People seem to *love* complaining about Roam, but you just need to find a way to make it work for you. Roam hasn’t let me down yet.

Does not open
I simply get a blank white screen when trying to open the app on iPhone 11 Max with the iOS version.
Just doesn’t work
At all. Hit spacebar or tab on your ipad keyboard and all heck breaks loose. Completely useless. Surprised this was even released.
