Exactly the notes app I've needed

Pros

It gives me full control over all my notes. I can save my markdown files wherever I want and depending on the devices I'm using, I can even set up my own sync solution without paying for Obsidian's subscription (although I do need to pay for sync if I'm using iOS). If I ever decide to switch to another Markdown app, I can just move my files. I sync my notes through Google Drive, so I can access them on both my desktop and my Android phone. For vaults I don't need to sync or want to keep offline, I can store them anywhere on my computer.

Cons

I'm not thrilled about having to pay for sync to access my notes on iOS but I can't really complain since Obsidian allows DIY syncing. The only reason it doesn't work on iOS is because of how Apple's OS is set up which isn't Obsidian's fault. Plus the subscription price is pretty reasonable. Personally I use Obsidian just for myself, so I don't need to collaborate with anyone else. If you want to use it with multiple people, that might be a bit more complicated.
