## What is reMarkable mobile?

Expand your reMarkable universe:
Make sure to pair your paper tablet with an account at my.remarkable.com before logging in to the app. Find login details for both in Account settings on the paper tablet.

Get organized:
Use the app to get an overview of your content, with tags and favorite documents. Create folders for collecting notebooks and files by topic. 

Save one for each project, or separate work and personal notes. This will help you find and arrange the content stored on your paper tablet with Search.

You can also remove clutter by deleting any digital paper that has piled up.

Fresh paper in your pocket:
Our notebooks take full advantage of the flexibility of digital paper for taking notes, typing, and sketching. 

All of your content is always available, and you can both make fresh notebooks, folders, and add note pages in PDFs and ebooks.

Take focused notes, anywhere:
Make your ideas easier to refine and share on the go. Our cloud storage allows you to sync your content and pick up right where you left off on your paper tablet.

Use the app to create new notebooks or quick sheets, and add blank note pages to existing documents. Checkboxes in the formatting menu are great for to-do lists.

Type pages of notes, or quickly write out shorter lists to review and annotate later on your reMarkable.  

Download the app to your mobile to make the most of your paper tablet.

### 1/5 — Was really useful until it started crashing

*2026-08-26, version 3.28.0*

I’m using this on an older iPad. Which supposedly is supported. But I can’t open the app anymore. It immediately crashes to home screen. Even after reboots and reinstall. 
Very sad!

### 1/5 — App is useless without iPad external keyboard support

*2026-08-25, version 3.28.0*

I love my reMarkable move device and the ecosystem to Mac, iPhone, and iPad WAS great. It is much faster to edit and cleanup using an iPad with keyboard or the Mac. The reMarkable app on iPad used to work great and now the external keyboard (at least with the Apple Magic Keyboard/Trackpad/Case used to work a year ago and now it has been broken for several months. I have reported the issue and don’t understand how they have not fixed it. I might need to reevaluate their system and eBay it all.

### 1/5 — Pretty much useless on iPad

*2026-08-16, version 3.27.1*

I like to use my Remarkable while on the go, but then pull info out of my notes when I’m back at my desk or back home.  The iPad app is barely useable for this purpose - it’s super buggy and messes up my notes that have images in them. You can’t properly scroll through notes, it’s super janky.

### 1/5 — Storage eater

*2026-08-03, version 3.27.1*

This takes up a TON of storage. It seems to hold a copy of every document on your Remarkable so it was maxing out my phone storage. This is no “cloud” it’s just a glorified rsync tool. It also blew though my mobile data by syncing, even though I had iOS low data mode enabled.

### 1/5 — App use with keyboard

*2026-08-02, version 3.27.1*

until about a month ago, I would tell you I loved this device and this app and it made my life so much easier however about a month ago something changed and now if you use the app with your iPad, the keyboard return function doesn’t work - you cannot return to another line which makes the use of the app impossible if you’re typing, you cannot do it. You simply have to go back to handwritten notes. I loved the ability to do both and I’m extremely frustrated by this at this point. and it worked for a year so it is something that they changed in the app when they did the last app update. When contacting them, they tell you that that’s not their problem. They don’t have to make it work with an external keyboard.

### 3/5 — Laggy after last update

*2026-07-31, version 3.27.1*

The last version update has made the iPhone app super laggy. Here’s more details for developers to test and fix in the next version release:
PDF when open in the app is very laggy when turned sideways from portrait to landscape. The app goes into laggy mode showing dots and only after several seconds the page displays. Even while scrolling in the same page of the PDF the app is very slow to respond. Shows dots and several seconds later renders the page view as if it were downloading it again. Although the page is already open.

### 1/5 — PDF

*2026-07-29, version 3.27.1*

I can’t download PDF

### 1/5 — So frustrated!

*2026-07-16, version 3.27.1*

The latest update has completely ruined the usability of the app. I used to be able to read ePubs on my phone without issue, but now the pages are constantly rendering. Definitely don’t try rotating your device, that makes it worse. I just want to be able to read and turn the pages, but now if have to zoom in, move the pages to avoid the three dots that are constantly in the way, and unzoom just so to get the pages to turn. I hate it!

### 5/5 — No DARK MODE

*2026-07-14, version 3.27.1*

I love it but there’s no dark mode

### 1/5 — When it works it works

*2026-07-14, version 3.27.1*

I have a Color and a 2, so I like remarkable a lot. For a premium experience, the app and its sync issues are beyond subpar. At this point, fire the developers and just vibe code it with Copilot; it can’t get worse. I’ve been trying to get a crochet pattern that is a 6 page PDF on my remarkable for over an hour. Instead I had to sign into the website from Safari and upload it and wait 5 minutes.
