### 4/5 — 13 августа 2026 перестал работать экспорт

*2026-08-14*

13 августа 2026 перестал работать экспорт  диалогов с ИИ в поиске Google на iPad в Safari в режиме «настольный компьютер». В режиме «мобильный» по прежнему работает. Скорее всего это из-за изменения отображения в самом Google. Адаптируйте пожалуйста!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-07-10*

Seems like when you click on something and hit add to obsidian it doesn’t work. You have to click that and then click open in obsidian

### 3/5 — iOS17では動きませんでした

*2026-05-13*

iOS17ではプルダウンメニューが空で上手く動きませんでした
iOS26.5では期待した通りwebを切り取ってくれました

iPhone 13 Pro iOS 17.?

### 4/5 — Transcript not working

*2026-04-13*

YouTube Transcript не работает. Пробовал на разных видео (ENG/RU) - кроме метаданных ничего не выдергивает при нажатии на иконку книжки

### 4/5 — Pls change App symbol

*2026-02-09*

Love the extension. Only one thing: could you change the app symbol so it doesn’t look identical to the main obsidian app?
Maybe add the puzzle piece from apples system to differentiate it. After that, the app would be a solid 5/5.

### 3/5 — Need different icon

*2026-01-15, version 0.12.0*

Would be nice if the Obsidian and web clipper have noticeably different icons

### 5/5 — Please fix showing blank sheet on older iOS

*2025-12-21*

On iOS 16, the last version that’s working normal is 0.11.8, 0.11.9 and 0.12.0 both show blank sheets! Don’t make us think that you’re doing evil with Apple! This was actually really good software!

### 1/5 — No Longer Works

*2025-12-08, version 0.12.0*

Just says “try refreshing the page”
Force closing and reopening Safari does not solve the issue, nor does a hard reset.

Luckily I have an old trusty Windows 10 laptop, where it does work!

### 1/5 — I cannot open it on iPhone

*2025-12-08*

It works on laptops but it doesn’t work on iPhone. I open it but nothing is shown.

### 1/5 — Not working on safari private browsing mode

*2025-12-06, version 0.12.0*

Please fix it. The web clipper is not working on private browsing mode.

### 5/5 — 技术力惊人

*2026-06-24*

这个插件完全是是意外收获，本来只想安装一个快捷添加到obsidian的插件，结果发现网页内容识别能力抢到离谱，各种公式都很完美是其他插件都做不到的，比safari自带的阅读模式强太多！！

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-05-28, version 1.6.3*

Works perfectly as intended

### 5/5 — 非常好

*2026-05-27, version 1.6.3*

有好的文章能迅速的剪到obsidian里，很方便。

### 5/5 — Total game changer for my workflow.

*2026-05-04*

I use it every day for note taking in Obsidian and cannot go back without it now.

There is a little bit of a learning curve with understanding different variables but it is so worth taking the time to set it up for your needs.

The community templates and Obsidian help guides are really helpful!

One thing I do wish is that we could easily select which folder to save the note, like the dropdown option for the vaults.

### 5/5 — Working good!

*2026-04-17*

I like this extension!

### 5/5 — Great customization

*2026-03-24*

I really like being able to import and export my templates as JSON text between browser

### 5/5 — Totally essential

*2026-03-14, version 1.2.0*

Amazing plugin, one of my most used daily

### 5/5 — 更新后无法剪藏微信公众号文章

*2026-03-12*

如题，请尽快返回上一个版本。

### 5/5 — No Chrome, No Brave

*2026-02-10*

EDIT: dev has no control over chrome mobile’s lack of extension feature so I’m updating to 5 stars bc it’s still amazing in brave on laptop.

Pro Tip: if u hate safari like me, just use Apple Shortcuts for clipping on mobile.

OLD: I'm not using Safari. Defeats the whole purpose of Obsidian's privacy architecture.

**Developer response:** Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that. Obsidian Web Clipper is already supported on both Chrome and Brave. The problem is that Chrome and Brave do not allow extensions in their mobile apps. If they did, Web Clipper would be there!

### 5/5 — Works!

*2026-02-05, version 0.12.0*

Works!
