Ratings and reviews

Edit: the developer responded promptly to my review and the problem is now fixed. Original review: Stuck at the "Enable All Files Access" screen, since there's no pop-up asking me to enable it and it doesn't even appear in the app permissions in settings. I'm using an Oppo Find X3 Lite.

Jeez, this app is ridiculously good. I use Obsidian to write my novel on a Windows desktop, a Mac laptop and an Android phone. I use a Github repository to keep the novel in proper sync across those three, along with the Obsidian community plugin Enveloppe. There's no great way to do a git pull on Android, even with the Github app (a surprising and vast tragedy). But with this app? It does a pull on opening Obsidian and a push on closing it. Absolutely brilliant.

Hello! Person who complained about Gitsync not running in the background here. After some tinkering around it does sync in the background now, I think it was because the branch was "Master" instead of "Head", so it didn't push for some reason. It would be great if the UI could be a bit more explanatory and intuitive. What happens if the current branch Head and not Master (sorry, kinda a Git noob here)? Loving the app. It's a huge lifesaver, and I appreciate the one-time purchase option.
