Ratings and reviews

Edited: The app force closes all the time now when trying to start it. When I get it started it works tho From a daily Roam user, very helpful app. Personally I haven't had any issues with this, you can do pretty much anything you can do on the computer, and synchronizes the notes really fast. I am not a power user so I'm sure it's missing some things compared to desktop, but for me it works great - and you can always finalize whatever you need later back on the computer.

A mobile app! Praise be the gods. Unfortunately it's not what was hoped/expected. This is not better than the existing PWA: 1. Autocomplete (suggested pages after`[[`) is empty in Quick capture tab (it's not in PWA). 2. The full experience (central tab) is disappointing. I'd hoped to get an offline and instant experience. Now it's simply the spinning astrolabe every time you wanna look something up on the go. Overall, UI often freezes and is unresponsive on interaction, just like the PWA.

These bugs were addressed so I updated my review to 4 stars. If the developers make the graphs tab to load instantly (rather than wait 5-10sec alwa) -> 5 ⭐ Old review: Roam is great but native app and web app suffer from massive problems in mobile. You can only copy correctly formatted lists via export view (no indentation otherwise). Also, I need to close and open the app to get the correct date for quick notes, that makes quick notes slowest notes ever (I contacted support but not fixed yet).
