Ratings and reviews

Update: i HATE the change to the tabs turning them into giant squares instead of list style. Wastes so much space and I can't see half the tabs I could before. Everything else in the app is a list. This breaks the UI consistency. & PDF viewer needs to not reset every time. Whenever you open a folded headline or task, the screen jumps to wherever the curser last was instead of staying on that header or task. I'd like it to automatically move the curser to that task when I click the unfold arrow

Functional app, accessible storage as .md files. *However*, there are consistent issues with ignoring inputs and rewriting text in the list parsing system. The app regularly deletes newlines and glitches while writing at the start of bullet points both new and old. Bullets sometimes don't appear, or typing just breaks the whole doc's formatting. The numbering system in lists breaks regularly. Indentations randomly change in paragraphs. The next letter after an asterisk is capitalized? Many bugs.

Overall, I'm a big fan of Obsidian as a zettlekasten system. Linking conceptual units together is effortless. I like everything about the mobile app (especially the toolbar for links, headings, bullets, etc) except the inability to close individual tabs directly from the tab pull up menu. That needs to be fixed ASAP. Opening many tabs is a normal part of the zettlekasten process, so closing individual or all tabs is a must (just like what can be done in the desktop app).
