Comments on Obsidian for Android

★★★★★ Aditya Bathri · May 19, 2026
My favorite app Best note-taking app ever 🧠🔥 Offline, superfast, folders + links OP. Perfect for study, ideas, games & brain vault. No ads, no bakwas. Love it ❤️ Obsidian is actually INSANE 😭🔥 At first I thought it was just a notes' app… then suddenly: • themes 🎨 • dark neon setups 🌑⚡ • plugins ecosystem 🔌 • graph view 🕸️ • markdown files 📁 • offline vault system 😤 • second brain workflows 🧠 And the best part: your notes are just YOUR files. No weird lock-in, no forced cloud drama
★☆☆☆☆ Sharko · May 28, 2026
Super glitchy, couldn't even get past setup, and wanted me to pay $48 for sync. Not even worth the installation.
★★☆☆☆ Melissa Newman · Jun 1, 2026
Selecting text to copy is horrible. Searching text within the current note is horrible. No ability to print. No ability to share text within a note to other applications on your phone. Unless you are a business, the cost of syncing between a phone and desktop is not worth it. I hate that I have to reinstall plug-ins for every vault. Hate that syncing for more than one vault is high-end subscription. Not convinced it is worth the subscription cost.
★☆☆☆☆ PizzaParker HotDogMaguire · Jun 11, 2026
Horrible, horrible functionality. The file explorer keeps freezing when you tap and hold any file. It's wasting so much time and effort. Day by Day, Obsidian seems more and more like another overrated program.
★★☆☆☆ CAROLEI CONCEPCION · Jun 3, 2026
It won't let me copy and paste!!! It's definitely not my phone because I used copy and paste on another notes app and it doesn't work on here?? It's really annoying to just copy every single thing instead of simply pasting it like I always do. Maybe it's just a glitch on my part? But it's completely fine on every other app I used copy and paste for, so it's definitely obsidian that's the problem. Can you please look into it?
