I really want to like Joplin, and I've tried to switch a number of times. But the mobile experience just isn't there for me. The iOS app is simple and reliable, which is good, but it's missing some of the touches that make mobile computing feel like it's made for mobile.

Specifically, things like swipes for navigation and for selecting or deleting notes. Also, many of the buttons are just too damn small for my sausage fingers. It's dumb, I know. Still, I find myself attempting to swipe to open the side bar then realizing my mistake after the second try and fumbling to reach the too small hamburger in the very top left of the screen.

Notes are something I reference at my desktop but generally write while on the go, so having a easy to use mobile app is a requirement for me. It's a shame though cause the desktop experience is so good.
