Good, almost great

Love the app. Would be great to be able to set default YAML frontmatter or use a template from the vault that already has it in there.

Almost Perfect

App fills an important gap in my daily workflow and I’m excited to support it. Would love to see 2 features: 1) the ability to set an option in a destination to always send task to a todo list. Requiring that we hit the alarm button first prevents tasks from being created when the Apple Share Feature is used. 2) An easy way to set the Vault and specify a default sub folder for notes to save per destination. These would push the app to 5 stars for me. Thanks!

Excellent

Really a truly great app. Only four stars as it’s a bit difficult to get the settings just right, which is not terribly intuitive, and there is room for improvement there. For those saying that you have to open Obsidian after, I am not finding that to be true. So perhaps thats a setting issue somewhere. Been looking for something like this for a long time and is shockingly inexpensive.

Good, would love properties support

I like that it can apply templates, would love if it also had support for specifying properties and their values

The widget!

I added the large widget to my Home Screen ( it has quick add buttons for notes, sketches, photos and voice notes. ) Using quick capture along with Obsidian’s Cupertino theme turns Obsidian into a sleek, user friendly note capture and retrieval app.
