## Obsidian Reviews in United States

### *---- "Extremely flaky sync"
The sync on this app is unbelievably flaky, even using their in-house sync service. At $5 a month, I would expect rock solid sync. If i were the PMO on this project, all development would stop until the sync engine is re-written from the ground up. Once users lose faith in the integrity of their precious information, it’s not long before they move to greener pastures.
-- WxxxxxxW, 2024-12-31

### *---- "Yikes dog"
Literally was deleting the content of my notes as I was typing them. Highly untrustworthy if you care about losing what you’re writing.
-- jaycharleton, 2024-12-28

### ***** "Better than other notes apps"
I really like obsidian because of some of the extra features like if you said 400+600 it will automatically enter 1000 if you put and equals at the end and the fact that you can put 2 dashes and it will make a folder
I love this app
-- yhgrgjukkfvmfmhngnfngm, 2024-12-27

### ***** "great!"
absolutely amazing! I use this to plan & keep track of my characters. I use the PC windows version more than this. The plug-ins and graph feature absolutely saved my life. I had so many characters and their complex relationships were starting to overwhelm me. Thank you so much for existing
-- yuee91, 2024-12-23

### ***** "Rock Solid"
I came here to write a review about how much I appreciate Obsidian now that I’ve been forced to use OneNote at work and I see basic functionality (tags specifically) don’t work for them! With obsidian I create empty notes in a hashtag folder and use links. It works seamlessly and with a topology map to boot. OneNote is really lackluster, even missing the daily notes option really misses those touches that one of a kind user experience. Obsidian’s mobile app is one of the most sophisticated mobile apps you will ever see, with working plugins, a working command palette, and versatile UI/UX options. The option of Obsidian sync is worth the money it is basically flawless.
-- Itsrandizzle., 2024-12-18

### ***** "Incredible and Powerful Note Taking Software"
The app is powerful and incredibly useful IF you take the time to work with it and read a bit. 
If you do not, it’s rather bland and might not be worth the beginning hurdle for most people that ALREADY have a favorite note taking app. 
The documentation exists for those that want to dive deeper and plug-ins and a community exists for those that want very extensive customization. 
This is essentially the Linux of note taking from what I’ve used. 
There are so many note taking apps and so many systems that might work better than Obsidian for a many people. 
I’ve only had issues with editing text on mobile (it’s cumbersome) and wish that you sync also applied to plug-ins (from what I’ve used - you must manually enable everything on both mobile and desktop). 
I like having options and control over my data and how I organize my life and take notes. Obsidian lets me do that.
-- Corle5, 2024-12-14

### ***** "Amazing!"
Please fix table duplication/corruption, add mobile push notifications, otherwise best app ever. Thanks so much.
-- BMV738, 2024-11-28

### ****- "Keeps telling me"
This app keeps telling me that I should read the release notes that aren’t available anywhere. Please add an option to disable such nagging.
-- veritasdom, 2024-11-27

### *---- "No OneDrive, limited storage, no interoperable usage limited to iCloud, major falshood to flexibilit"
No OneDrive, limited storage, no interoperable usage limited to iCloud, major falshood to flexibility
-- Imareseler, 2024-11-22

### ***-- "Good but laggy."
I look forward to opening the app to access notes but the SLOW load screen definitely takes that enthusiasm away. I don’t know if the app has trouble loading with IOS but I hope this bug will be fixed soon.
-- shaymatiic, 2024-11-20

### ***** "CRAZY Powerful Knowledge Management — Moderately Steep Learning Curve"
Brand new to Obsidian?  The potential of this app can be intimidating. YouTube is your tutorial friend!! Jump in, watch some tutorials, create some notes and start playing!!
-- GTD Meister, 2024-11-20

### ***** "I love the app a lot!! There is one issue though."
This app is amazing. I am a DM for Dungeons and Dragons, and I’m writing a book on the world I’ve been working on for more then 8 whole years. This a partly an issue on my end I will admit, but I do expect quicker emails to be sent, or even an email at all. I have tried over and over to get an email because I have forgotten my code to get into my account, but you guys have not sent me an email, and I’ve waited for more then a month, and now I’ve tried again. I have so much information on my account on my worlds, and not to mention personal information as well that I’d like back. Other then this I have no other problems with this app at all, and I love it.
-- BannaMan2006, 2024-11-19

### ***-- "Good functionality, somewhat boring design"
I want to use this but the design of the app isn’t very appealing, at least to me, it there was a update that would be lit
-- Tommy Grossman, 2024-11-15

### ***** "No response on Share menu ver. 1.7.6"
fix please..
-- dalparan, 2024-11-14

### ****- "A little icon suggestion"
Definitely great. Although the UX is still not really nice on iPhone but still good. And  maybe we can adjust the icon a little bit, making the obsidian part smaller? That would look better in my opinion.
-- Daft Sisyphe, 2024-11-13

### ****- "Bug"
Everything is fine, but there is one problem. When you create branches with the "#" sign and turn on the reading mode, the icons to open and close the branch break, they just go up and stay in each other. I hope it will be repaired.
-- Glog ZOV, 2024-11-13

### *---- "Can't make check boxes"
Instructions found online simply don't work, no useful information in the app, absolute rubbish mobile app
-- Terrible, awful app, 2024-11-12

### **--- "Buggy, text navigation difficult"
Is not well-integrated w iOS. Trying to navigate a note on mobile is an exercise in frustration. Will select a word instead of going to end of line. Cannot drag cursor through doc bc there are “special commands” for any dragging movement. Mobile obsidian is an exercise in frustration
-- bw163847, 2024-11-11

### *---- "Sync Makes App Literally Unusable"
Attempting to load the app with iCloud Sync enabled gets stuck in an infinite loop of “Waiting for iCloud to sync”, followed by unresponsive UI, then more “Waiting for iCloud to sync”. It’s literally impossible to use the app.

I really want to like Obsidian, but sync across devices is broken to the degree of making it counterproductive to continue using the product.
-- rbright, 2024-11-05

### **--- "Load time too slow"
Just upgraded OS to iOS 18.0.1 just to fix slow initial load issue. Also updated Obsidian app  to 1.7.4. Still takes 20 seconds for app to load. About the same as in iOS 17. iCloud load time is 15 seconds. I set value folder to keep downloaded in Files app. Why not offer an option to always skip syncing configuration? Frustrating. A notes app should have very low friction. At this point, I think the only reason to ignore this issue would be to push Obsidian sync.
