Life changing

I journal everyday with this app and use it for practically everything in my life. Been living in this app for years. Amazing software. Extremely well-designed.

Mobile UI gripe but otherwise great

Move the vault manager and settings icon from the bottom or tuck them deeper in the bottom past the normal screen. It takes up an obnoxious amount of space and I’m not swapping back-and-forth between vaults almost ever as a new user. Super excited to use the app other than this.

Good stuff

I pay for obsidian sync and it has been great for managing projects, documentation etc between devices. Adding Claude to this via Claudian has been a game changer.

Work gone

Was enjoying the app until the new update deleted all my notes and research. I went into my iCloud and into data recovery and all my files had been deleted.

Unstable / DL broken

Restricting downloads of 15.4 iOS saying MUST have 15.6 iOS. Have not left a latest compatible version available for their own user base. They actually keeping prospective users on the other side of their “fence-o-iOS”. Not every one can keep up latest and greatest mobile hardware. So unless they change of heart better get somethingelse.

Best notebook ever!

Honestly one of the apps that I can’t leave without, perfect and simple in its own way! I have been able to record so much more because this app is so good and giving enormous value to me now down the line.

Unusable

Almost unusable on iPad specially the excelidraw.

Beautiful Notes

As simple/complex as you need it to be. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

would absolutely reccomend !

hi hello!
i've used obsidian for a few years now, finding out about it during a quest for something to write in that worked for me. and i can absolutely say this app is worth it. it does take some time to get used to, but its still worth it as it is a feature rich app, with many more possibilities outside of what's offered already, via community plugins and themes. i enjoy using this app and i am glad to have found it.

thank yall, obsidian devs!
have a good day :)

iPad pencil support please

Ability to write with my pencil will make me shift completely to this notes app

Agents … agents everywhere

Best app for storing your ideas and info hands down — agents read markdown natively,, store your ideas here!!

Catastrophically broke all my shortcuts

Pushed an update and all the shortcut actions broke.

I have dozens of functions on my phone that integrate obsidian and apple shortcuts and they are ALL BROKEN 😡.

If you want to build something people rely on, make it reliable.

Nice to use but sync needs money

easy to use, but as long as I wanna sync, it will charge…

Thank you Devs!

Best notes app! It is convenient and easy to use, and has all the features I want. I can even install community plugins. I prefer Obsidian to Apple Notes, Evernote, Bear, and every other notes app I’ve tried. And almost everything is free - Obsidian doesn’t scam you out of basic functionality.

The best app for me!

The Obsidian’ team the magnificent. They fixed old version and it can work at old iPad version 15. 8. 8
I can continue to learn and write in the Obsidian
Thank for great job!

Where you been all my life?

These geniuses figured out how to combine a journal and wiki with the best parts of each. Works perfectly. The community has created plugins that extend the functions even more. My advice would be use it for awhile and don’t go crazy on the plugins until you know what you need them for. If you’re like me it will benefit you so much.

Great app, disappointing iOS experience

Just love using obsidian on a daily basis but the mobile experience isn’t so great. Bases really don’t work on iOS. The notes work fine but the whole bases reporting just doesn’t work.

the coolest notes app ever that is almost perfect

(rating is more of a 4.5) obsidian is basically the cooler joplin that is way more fun to use and make notes in. it has a nice ui, cool themes, awesome plugins, and convenient note-taking features that i love. i can even password protect individual notes/folders with said plugins! all this app needs is an integrated document scanner to make it perfect 😭 there are ways to go around this of course like using the files app or shortcuts to upload documents, but they're basically hidden features that not many users will notice. please make it easier for us and just add it to obsidian in the future! i love this app so much 🙏
