Brilliant

I have been using Obsidian for some time now, on both the desktop app and the iOS app. My preference for the vault location was Dropbox but the iOS app can only use iCloud which involves me copying MD files from iCloud to Dropbox. I signed up for the pro version of MD Notes (one-time fee of £3.99) and now i can export (share) files to my Dropbox vault in a few clicks. One very slight inconvenience is that it does not capture image files. Thanks guys - lovely app - and I am now deleting the Obsidian iOS app.

Freezes sometimes

Sometimes when I switch to the app, it does not respond to taps until I force it to close, then reopen it. It may have something to do with using a OneDrive folder and not having a network connection.

Uncomplicated but crashed on large document

This app seems simpler and more straightforward than the big-name writer’s apps; iCloud sync worked fine. But it crashed hard and recovery was difficult. So I uninstalled it and will continue looking for a basic text editor for iPad.

Response from developer

mind sharing how large your document could be?

Preview in pro is joke

Not a product that I can recommend the interface and the is garbage and lacks basics of design. Not sure how this product is still in app store

Response from developer

cry about it

simple and very useful

**Hands down the best markdown editor on he app store.**

It uses the default Apple file browser to open files which was a *necessity* for me. Many many many choices of themes, well worth the extra bucks for the customization in my opinion.

I don’t often write reviews, but this app is so great and I use it so often I felt inclined to.
