User Reviews

Pros and cons derived from user reviews show Obsidian as a powerful, flexible PKM tool that shines offline, respects user ownership, and offers deep features via plugins, backlinks, and graph view. It supports cross-platform use and syncing and is valued for privacy and customization. However, reviewers frequently report serious iOS instability (long plugin loading times, indexing delays, black screens), a mobile experience that lags the desktop, limited mobile UI customization, and vault/storage issues (iCloud connectivity and vault detection). Overall, strong depth comes with notable mobile reliability and UX drawbacks.
Pros
  • Powerful, extensible feature set via plugins, backlinks, graph view, and templates.
  • Works offline and gives users ownership and privacy over their notes.
  • Flexible for simple notes or building a comprehensive personal knowledge system.
  • Cross-platform support and syncing across devices (with Obsidian Sync or other methods).
  • Not AI-driven by default; privacy-focused; open to AI via plugins.
Cons
  • iOS instability: frequent plugin loading loops, long indexing times, and occasional black screens.
  • Mobile UX lags behind the desktop; interface is heavy and not as intuitive on iPhone.
  • Limited mobile UI customization (e.g., default toolbar cannot be customized; left sidebar width not adjustable).
  • Vault/storage integration issues, including iCloud vault accessibility and vault detection problems.
  • Additional reliability/polish concerns such as share sheet interruptions and occasional need to reinstall to fix issues.

Long time user of an amazing amazing app. Just noticed some regressions in the last month or so in the iPhone app. Settings dialog won’t open and if it does, I can’t exit it. Clicking on recent files does nothing. Kindly look into it.
