Not reliable for Obsidian sync
I bought Möbius Sync to sync my Obsidian vault with Syncthing on iPhone/iPad. I regret it.
The app is not reliable. It struggles with iOS background syncing, requires manual babysitting, and has caused repeated sync/conflict problems. I should not have to keep opening the sync app before seeing that my notes are current.
It simply will not sync in the background I have to open Möbius Sync and let it finish sinking for a few minutes before I can start using Obsidian on the iPhone - each and every time.
For a paid app, it needs much better reliability, clearer conflict handling, and stronger protection against bad sync states. If you need dependable Obsidian sync, I would avoid it.

A great alternative to iCloud
Of course you need to set up your own Syncthing server at home - but that is the whole purpose … your own data, your own privacy, and no iCloud fees.
It works flawlessly as a SynchThing client - 100% compatible with the Linux and Windows versions. Haven’t tied compatibility with MacOS, but I bet it’s compatible with that too. It’s Syncthing after all. Well done folks!

Perfect
The best solution for obsidian sync. Also removes lag of icloud sync between two devices. Sometimes hangs after long delay. But battery saving is ok.
Excellent app for syncing.
Way better than Resilio Sync.
Works great!
I’ve been using this app for months now. Works great with Syncthing. Syncthing setup on Linux is sometimes “fun”. If you get past setting up Syncthing, then Moebius is pretty easy. I’m syncing two phones to a backup location on a Proxmox container, and to my Linux workstation.
So good
God dang this is beautiful.
I was about to sell my iPad to get android tablet for syncthing. And this app saved me to spend money.
Thank you

Non-functional, Over priced, Dishonest
Like the title says, this app is non-functional, the error messages provide no information when its unable to sync and it fails frequently… They commonly appear to be several versions behind which, seems quite scummy considering i got the paid addition… and of course the app claims it can sync things and does not do so, It makes promises that it can’t possibly fulfill from developers who seemingly do not care. If your a fan if wasting money, buy this app…

Syncthing 😤😤😤👌👌👌
🙏🙏🙏😃😃😃👍👍👍
Too glitchy
It’s great having syncthing on iOS but you can’t just run this and forget about it. On Android it’s always running and I never have to fiddle with it. On iPad it regularly stops syncing and when I bring the app to focus, the display goes all wonky and I have to restart it. Good idea but not reliable.

No shortcut support
This app desperately needs shortcut support. I want to be able to quickly share a file from another app and have it sync, but the steps to do that are arduous and have to be memorised.
Just opening the app is unpleasant. You always get a huge banner covering half the screen to let you know syncing is resuming. Just use a status icon. A traffic light will do.
It's not a very "iPhone" solution. In fact now that I look at it, it doesn't even appear to use native UI elements. It looks like an app for another type of phone.

iphone 15 pro did not work correctly
Giu is not optimizated with iphone 15 pro and app start shaking when i open it in a second time after rebooting the device
Super App!
Sehr zu empfehlen als Dateisynchronisierer zwischen verschiedensten Geräten. Lässt mich zwischen iPhone und Linux Dateien hin und herschieben und macht mich damit unabhängig von iCloud und ähnlichem. Da zahlt man gern den preis für die app. Bitte niemals diese app entfernen :-)
Thank you for update to v.1.27.8
numConnections option is functional, thank you!

Syncs sometimes
Great concept and works with syncthing. However I’ve found over the months after purchasing, that background sync is very unreliable. This is no fault of the developer since iOS not allowing apps to run continuously is causing the reliability problem but I think this should be called out better so people know . Paying for the upgrade is useless if I can’t count on it keeping my files in sync.

We try to explain this under "Background sync" at https://www.mobiussync.com/faq/ Note also to future users, you are welcome to try out Möbius Sync using the freemium version to see if the background sync is adequate for your needs before unlocking unlimited sync by in-app-purchase or with Möbius Sync Pro - features are identical - it is only the payment method which differs.
Sync with LogSeq
Bought to sync flawlessly with LogSeq.
Would additionally pay to be able to change the icon - hurts my eyes ;-)

Glad it works well for you with LogSeq. We have reopened the issue re changing the icon on GitHub: https://github.com/MobiusSync/MobiusSync/issues/19
Not working
Bought specifically to use the external folder (non sandbox) option and it’s not working ios17.
Amazing program
As others have mentioned, this in combination with Obsidian is a dream come true. It’s worth the $5 and then some.
I just hope to see continued updates from the developer. Syncthing has since been updated to 1.27.2. Please keep it up to date :).

Works great, one essential feature missing
I will give 5 stars as soon as the following feature is implemented:
trigger a sync from the Apple Shortcuts App, so that it can be used in automation, e.g. when I open or close a specific app that depends on the data synced by Möbius (similar to Working Copy for Git).

Thanks for your support. Shortcuts are on the roadmap: https://github.com/MobiusSync/MobiusSync/issues/136
Works well, especially for Obsidian
Works pretty much as you'd expect given the limitations of the OS. The experimental feature of syncing app sandboxes appears to work so far, at least for my use case of Obsidian. Kinda eh I had to pay for what is, on everything else, free/open source software, but I also get it– the Fruit Company's annual fees won't pay for itself. As far as I could tell this is the "official" (or at least endorsed by the syncthing devs) version of syncthing.
