Best app in the world. 5/1 To be fair the desktop version is much better than the android app. The app van be a bit dlow for a vault with around 10,000 notes.

Can you clarify which icons changed size? Is this happening if you use the default theme and disable plugins?

The app is not working ๐ฉ I have an LG Stylo 5, and when I open the app the logo appears then a gray screen, that is it.

Iโm sorry. Did this happen on the first launch, or had the app worked before? Google reports you're on Android 9, is that correct? Have you tried on a newer version of Android?

Probably one of the best apps for organising my thoughts and ideas. Completely free, no ads, no subscriptions, easy to use, easy to make notes, and I can use canvases for connecting specific thoughts to others. I would rate this app 100 stars if this option was available.

Update: the Daily Note is still accessible and working again. I usually love it, but they broke my favorite feature: the Daily Note. It used to open up automatically whenever a new day started but now I have to tap the hamburger menu and choose the 5th option down to open the Daily Note. I can't find any way to change this in settings. Edit: devs replied, they put it in a totally unintuitive place in settings (Files & Links instead of...Daily Notes), but I can use the auto open feature again.

The option always open daily note on startup has been moved to Settings โ Files and links โ Default note to open.
EDIT: Good to hear that it works again. The reason it changed is that we can support more options to open the app that wouldn't make sense within daily notes. We'll consider improving the settings in the app to clarify. Thanks!

Love it on PC. Hate that I have to pay to sync it to my phone.
Developer Response

Obsidian Sync is optional. You can sync the vault folder with plugins and third-party tools. This guide covers the options: https://obsidian.md/help/sync-notes

Why do you want to access ALL the files on my phone, at any time, without telling me?
Developer Response
Oct 1, 2026
Huh? It is not required. Just choose "App storage" for your vault location. The "All files" permission is only there because some users want to sync with third-party tools like Syncthing. But if you don't need other apps to access your data, then just use "App storage". Does that help? See also: https://obsidian.md/help/android

I adore this app! It allows countless possibilities to customize, to the point it can be overwhelming. I'd say it can fit better for advanced users, but even without setting up, it can work. Though, if the goal is simple fleeting notes, other simpler apps can be better, or be used alongside it. It is one of my most favorite apps, both on PC and Android. Sync can be done manually via extensions and free services; if on PC, there is also a GitHub option. Either way, I advise backing up regularly.

Title names do not change anymore and remain as "Untitled" even after edit.
Developer Response
Sep 28, 2026
Does this happen with every note or only certain notes? Are you using any plugins or themes? If yes does the issue happen when they are turned off? Is it possible you're trying to use a title that's already taken?

The version on the web is OVERLY confusing to use and I can't even sign in with the mobile app. I have reset my password SIX TIMES and still can't log in.
