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).

One of the recent updates has broken the link feature in my long notes. Sometimes it works to jump down to the end, but frequently it's putting me in a random place in the center of the note which means I get to scroll all the way to the bottom. I generally like this app, but this issue is going to make me seek out another notes app if it isn't resolved.

up until now this has been the best notes app I've ever had. But within the last two days, it's copy paste function just broke. I tested other apps, it's not the phone. In the Android app, if I highlight text to copy (and yes, mine also has the annoying bug where it deselects your highlighted text because it can't auto-scroll), and then hit copy, it tells me it copied to clipboard and...nothing. The only way to make it actually copy is to go to read-only mode, which destroys all formatting.
