Hard Road - memandu kereta di jalan sukar

It's a cool idea, that's why I'll give it 4 stars, but for me it would be perfect if I could sync it with google drive at least, but it's cool nonetheless, good job 👍

standardizing notes with logseq is simple and efficient (for outliner strength) journal by default simplifies capturing notes links between tags work extremely well markdown lovers

The only cloud service allowed is iCloud. This is a huge flaw for me. Uninstalling…

I have never done any app reviews. However, logseq deserve it. I use it every day for running both my work and personal life.

I really wanted to love Logseq, but the learning curve is brutal. The interface feels unintuitive, especially on mobile, and basic actions like navigating between pages or editing blocks are clunky and inconsistent. Even after watching tutorials, I still find myself getting lost or stuck. I get that it’s powerful for some, but the user experience needs serious refinement before it can be considered accessible to the average user. Grateful that it’s free and works pretty well on my MacBook.

Sync sometimes likes to duplicate a ton of text in entries, forcing me to manually delete all the extra duplicates (and I pay monthly for this “service”). Half the time tapping on the text to make edits doesn’t bring up the editor bar (for indents, etc.). Highlighting bulleted lists only allows selection for a single bullet (tap and drag selection doesn’t seem to span a list of bullets), making deleting duplicated data from the previous sync issues a stupidly tedious chore. Sometimes when I write things in parentheses it likes to insert an extra one at the beginning, just to be particularly unhelpful. I want to like the app but the poor usability and lack of polish is really disappointing. So many UX bugs and the app hasn’t been updated in almost exactly 1 year.

I like the app in spirit, but it just doesn’t function properly on modern versions of iOS. UI elements are truncated in weird ways, hiding items that shouldn’t be.

The UI is glitchy. Editing more than a single line of text is difficult because the cursor is always one or two lines away from where my inserts and deletes actually happen. A whole paragraph may be truncated by sliding underneath an adjacent block of text. Database corruption error messages are increasingly common. Six months is a long time for an application to be without an update yet still be version zero. I prefer to use this product over proprietary apps, but the cost of that is apparently the risk that you'll need to migrate in frustration.

I started with Evernote (along with many Moleskin physical journals) many years ago, then transitioned to Roam around 2020. It always worked reasonably well - but the price was way too expensive for what it was, and I was concerned by the cult-like atmosphere and idiosyncracies of its founder. After trying Notion and Obsidian - which were good products, but never fit my workflow well - I stumbled upon Logseq. It has been a seamless transition from Roam, and offers more features than I'll likely ever need - all for a very reasonable price (free). I do pay for the sync program though, which has never had any issues and is necessary in my opinion. The only issue I have had is: frequently, hitting the "Return" key just moves to a new paragraph, rather than starting a new Block. I hope this will get resolved on the iPad. Logseq works flawlessly on my desktop(s), but I love having the portability of my iPad Pro.
