Crashes when I try to add a photo
No longer works like a wiki
At some point overnight my app updated and when I opened it up it’s a completely different app. If you were using this as an E2EE Obsidian replacement, it’s broken now. I can’t find anything without using search and since I made my notes in a wiki (like the app description says: “ Write notes, create wikis…”) everything is really jumbled up, and I can’t find some of my files so I think they’re missing now. Before, the app was okay, if a little clunky, but now it’s really slow and it’s like a totally different app and it no longer matches the description! I’ve put the description from the app at the time of this review’s writing here so people understand what I mean: “Skiff Pages facilitates not only note-taking, but also creating complex wikis and documents.[…]Use Markdown or embed files and images in your pages.” Right now since I can’t make wikis and none of my embedded files work anymore, I’m pretty much screwed and I can’t even see if I have all my files because I was using the (ADVERTISED) wiki structure to take notes and stuff! I’m going to have to go borrow my sister’s computer to try to salvage this (at least I think I can salvage this) and then I guess either go back to Bear or/with Obsidian to do my usual notes on my phone. I’m really disappointed now and I can’t believe I told all my friends how great this app was. It’s really embarrassing. 2 stars instead of 1 because the update made it so the keyboard isn’t always in my way anymore, but my friend on android says her keyboard doesn’t stay open long enough for her to type anything which I guess keeps it from being in the way? I don’t know enough about apps to know if that might be a problem on iOS and since I can’t find any of my files or anything I don’t really feel like testing it myself, but I don’t like how many bugs my friends are getting off the update anyway so even if I wasn’t going to stop telling friends to use it because it doesn’t even do what it says anymore, I’d still tell them to not use it because I’ve heard of so many bugs.

Mostly good
I do love this service and their commitment to quality and privacy. My only gripe is that I’ve been struggling to get a document to sync between iOS and Mac. It’ll save the changes on one, then immediately revert them when I open the document in the other app. Very frustrating.

Care about your docs? Don’t touch Skiff.
This was the last chance I’m trusting this service with my documents. I NEVER lost WiFi connection yet tell me why, on two separate occasions, did my files completely vanish? The first time it was 15 docs and they came back after 20 minutes of having a panic attack. The second time, the version history displayed nothing. My entire document reverted back to the way it was 3 hours ago. If you peddle this service you should honestly rethink the horrendous advice you’re giving people. BE CAREFUL. DON’T touch this with a ten foot pole.
