I've read people complaining on (ahem) discussion groups dedicated to other notetaking apps about how awful the mobile Joplin apps are, and how they're the reason blocking them from using the app. I don't find them awful. I find them perfectly functional and getting better with each big update. I see them as extensions to the desktop app. They don't do everything the desktop app does, but neither did Evernote when I used it. I've just finished writing an academic article using Joplin, which is my litmus test.

Keep going developers. You're doing fine, and your work is appreciated.

Yeah I think it depends on what people expect. I've never used the mobile app for serious editing - and that isn't specific to Joplin, this is exactly how I used Evernote. The mobile app for me is much more for "consumption" than "creation". Sure I do make some edits on mobile but generally I'll just do some rough editing then polish it up later on desktop.

It works surprisingly well on an iPad with a keyboard. Well, as well as any markdown editor. On the iPad you just have what you’re typing, no rendering or anything. I’ve judged markdown for years, and this is as good as any editor I’ve used…particularly with the new formatting tools.
