Comments on Obsidian for Android

★★★★★ Sam Davenport · Jul 23, 2026

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.

★★★★☆ Kiryonn Akira · Jul 29, 2026

I love it. It as become very useful for day to day note-taking. It makes it possible to take notes fast, while not compromising on the structure of the notes (easy to create links to other notes, create table, separators ...) mainly due to using Markdown as a basis, but also due to their intuitive and responsive app (it's fast). There's a lot of useful plugins made by the community as well. I also use it to capture my 2AM thoughts efficiently.

★★★★☆ Roman Avdeev · Jul 17, 2026

The best note-taking app, featuring markdown file notes, note links, tags, bases and an amazing plugin community. It could be even better if it allowed first party self-hosted sync, as it's not easy to synchronize directories on Android.

★★★★★ Martin Parsons · Jul 23, 2026

Obsidian is amazing! I never saw the point of a note app before. Now it manages my life!

★★☆☆☆ Diju Choudhury · Jun 26, 2026

When I select something on the left side panel and tap back and again reselect... the app freezes completely... I want to use obsidian, and I found this issue at the beginning of my usage journey

★★☆☆☆ Milica Tesanovic · Jul 11, 2026

Ok, so I love this app, but there seems to be a glitch where the side where you access the files. Usually, they move when I hold down with my finger and move it to whatever file, but now it just freezes the app, or it just brings up another panel of acts I can do to the file. Sure, that's fine, but I still want to move my files with my finger and not the cumbersome way of typing where I want it to go. Sorry if I didn't use the right terminology lol

★☆☆☆☆ Shubham Kumar · Jun 24, 2026

App is unusable, too many crashes. The app freezes multiple times in a single session. There has not been a single session of my use when this app has not crashed.
