### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2026-06-02*

App fills an important gap in my daily workflow and I’m excited to support it. Would love to see 2 features: 1) the ability to set an option in a destination to always send task to a todo list. Requiring that we hit the alarm button first prevents tasks from being created when the Apple Share Feature is used. 2) An easy way to set the Vault and specify a default sub folder for notes to save per destination. These would push the app to 5 stars for me. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2026-04-28*

Really a truly great app. Only four stars as it’s a bit difficult to get the settings just right, which is not terribly intuitive, and there is room for improvement there. For those saying that you have to open Obsidian after, I am not finding that to be true. So perhaps thats a setting issue somewhere. Been looking for something like this for a long time and is shockingly inexpensive.

### 5/5 — Great Companion

*2026-04-11*

Using on my phone and tablet now. Minor bugs but otherwise amazing work.

### 4/5 — Great functionality. NEEDS IPAD APP

*2026-03-19, version 2.4.0*

Love the quick capture app, definitely speeds obsidian entries up. PLEASE ADD DEDICATED IPAD APP as that would broadly increase functionality to more devices. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Support monochromatic icon

*2026-02-14*

Please add monochromatic icon on widget, now widget unreadable

### 1/5 — If only

*2026-02-11, version 2.3.4*

I could get it to work, same as with Supasend

### 3/5 — Could be Good, need some work

*2026-01-05*

Not a bad application, and really fills a gap in the obsidian ecosystem. I tried to use it for a daily journal, but the note creation seems to choke if you try to point it at a subdirectory with the file naming, something like yyyy/mm-mmmm/yyyy-mm-dd doesn’t get to the appropriate file.

### 4/5 — Good, would love properties support

*2025-12-05*

I like that it can apply templates, would love if it also had support for specifying properties and their values

### 5/5 — The widget!

*2025-11-30*

I added the large widget to my Home Screen ( it has quick add buttons for notes, sketches, photos and voice notes. )

Using quick capture along with Obsidian’s Cupertino theme turns Obsidian into a sleek, user friendly note capture and retrieval app.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-11-28, version 2.2.2*

Sooooo great! Simple, effective, well laid out - up and running in 2 minutes. Lifetime “subscription” is definitely what sold me - THANK YOU
