iOS15.8.8で起動しなくなった

掲題のとおり。便利に使わせていただいていたので、困ります。早く直してください。

20 mins to open app

The amount of time this app takes to load is ridiculous if you are using iCloud sync to iPhone.

Can’t take quick notes like this at all.

Magnifique système de note

J’utilise Obsidian des dizaines de fois par jour. Avec la fonction sync, je suis à la fois sur mon ordinateur sur mon téléphone et tout est fluide.
C’est un système de note absolument extraordinaire.

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup pour votre soutien au quotidien !

Love it

Awesome

Great but buggy

I keep running into an issue where correct words get underlined as if they’re wrong, and it won’t go away unless I delete the word and re write it. I’m also getting copies of those underlined words or letters appearing when I scroll or delete things, just a lot of bugs. It’s been going on for months. Pls fix! I love the app otherwise.

Doesn’t load when I need it most

About 20% of the time when loan obsidian it locks up, or goes into an “indexing” dialog where nothing else can happen until the index completes.

Most of the time when I open the app I am doing so to write a note, and roughly 1 out of 5 times I simply am not able to create a new note.

I understand indexing is import for search, but it should be possible to generate a new note while doing so.

The app is also often unresponsive when first loading, often freezing for 30-60 seconds, sometimes eventually showing an “indexing screen”

Unintuitive

This app is so unintuitive that I uninstalled after 10 minutes of trying to figure out how to get back to the text note that I just created. When pasting it inserted a new empty line between every line of text, so I wanted to select all and delete it. There’s no option to select all, you have to manually drag it to the bottom of file.

希望可以出的功能

可不可以出一个移动笔记顺序的功能,自定义的

手放せない

慣れるまで時間がかかりましたが、今ではもう手放せません。
特にノート内でアウトラインが作れ、折りたたみできるところがありがたいです。

フォルダ、ノートの並び替えをカスタムできるようになると助かります。

Obsidian has changed my life

I can confidently and wholeheartedly say that Obsidian has changed my life. It has helped me stay more organized, capture ideas, Journal more, create more and overall just stay mindful about my life. It’s the most used app on my phone and I have genuine respect for the creators for not trying to lock me in (like notion and several other note taking apps do).

Underpins a lot of my life

I use it for work, personal projects and just about anything. Probably my favourite piece of software.

Incredible Notes

Like many others, I’ve used dozens of different note apps. This one is going to stick with me for my scripture study notes. It’s the first Mark Down app I’ve used and I love that my notes can be interconnected. I can’t see that I might switch to this from the notes app I’ve been using the past 10 years. I’ll just keep that one for history, but definitely I’ll transfer some of those notes over to Obsidian; most especially all my knitting notes so I can easily interconnect them. Anyway. I love this app…it’s the best!

Stopped working

Hangs at “loading plugins”. Reinstalling and disabling all community plugins in the desktop MacOS app did not resolve

Won’t open vault

I copied a local Obsidian vault onto my iPad. I installed Obsidian but there’s no way to use the vault. It only wants to use an online vault from either Obsidian’s sync service or iCloud. I don’t have either; I just want to use it locally. This app is useless.

Great successor to SimpleNote

My only complaint is load time on first app open could be faster. It’s in the ~700 ms range usually on my iPhone 15 Pro. Bad if I want to take a quick note!

Good App

Great app for taking notes, I use it all the time

Pathetic

Can't view all folders and files at once. Have to CONSTANTLY change what folder I'm in which is horrendous mobile ergonomics. A trillion taps to access anything I want. Vomit inducing.

Impossible

I spent over two hours trying to set this up and sync it with the Mac version. I thought I had it working once or twice. Next time I opened it nothing there. Very very disappointed, deleting

Good app, but unusable UI, especially with plugins

I love the desktop app, especially with plugins, but on the mobile version without the ribbon along the left, plugins aren’t usable. Additionally, the toolbar in the note editor is sized incorrectly, making 90% of the options appear off screen without a way to access them.

It works
