Ratings and reviews

I've used Obsidian for a couple years. It's a very good note-taking app. Vault (a paid add-on) makes syncing across devices effortless, but other cloud solutions also work. Composing in markdown's fast: your hands never leave the keyboard. It stores notes in markdown, so there's no lock-in: you can open them in a text editor. Once a note is synced to your device, you can reliably get to it even when you're offline. Quirks are in tables (a bit clunky) and the outline (hard to find on phones).

ALMOST perfect. I have been using Obsidian and it's PC version for almost a year and half and I don't know how I could ever go back to writing and note taking without it. However, the mobile version lacks the ability to export notes into other formats such as PDF. If this got added for the android version in the same way that PC can, I will change my review to 5 Stars.

This app is the part of my brain God left out when I was born. I highly recommend it (and the computer version). I found myself just using folders when I started, but I have slowly gotten into compounding my organization with tags, workspaces, backlinks, etc. I use it for everything. I appreciate that the developers give you free alternatives to their sync feature ($4-5/month), and I love that files can be stored locally so if the program ever fails, you still have all your notes.
