At times I find the different menu options a little confusing but that's undoubtedly because of the power at your fingertips needing a little time to learn. I'm using the desktop app for the bulk of my note-taking, and the mobile for reading and the occasional small edits. I did use one of the solutions for free syncing but it was just too complicated so I wound up paying $4 monthly for automated syncing and versioning and I consider it well worth the money.

Really, really good app! The slow startup speed is fixed now! Both, the desktop and the mobile apps start pretty fast. The only thing to improve, IMO, is the finicky "Send to" Obsidian on Android. It often reloads the app every time it's used, even if I just switched from the app (its battery settings are set to "no restrictions", so it shouldn't be killed). Another killer useful feature on mobile would be a quick note feature!

This should be fixed now! Can you confirm? Thank you for your feedback and patience.

ALMOST perfect. I have been using Obsidian and it's PC version for almost a year and half and I don't know how I could ever go back to writing and note taking without it. However, the mobile version lacks the ability to export notes into other formats such as PDF. If this got added for the android version in the same way that PC can, I will change my review to 5 Stars.
