How good is logseq on android for "reading-only" the org-roam notes

With debian 13 incoming, and including updated org-roam package I am more eager than ever to try org-roam again. During the last year, I tried denote and orgrr for org-roam-like functionality. But with these two, the links to subheadings and working with the backlinks to subheadings been a pain (or outright impossible).

This is one reason I am re-considering org-roam.

Another reason is on the android, the orgro app is good for reading and orgzly-revived app is good for tracking todos; but none of them are good for searching contents of the files. Afaik, this is where logseq “shines”.

So, my questions is this: can Logseq follow through the id: links of org-roam? Can logseq display the incoming id: links as backlinks? I have read some conflicting report on logseq’s ability to follow id: links and also the discussions on this on github issues are kinda outdated, so I would like to hear a more recent data point on this.

ID links work fine but they do not show up as backlinks. You have to look under the unlinked mentions section of a topic page to find it.

I wonder whether if the goal is only to find/read content, it might be worthwhile to export to markdown and then use any of the applications that can use that (obsidian comes to my mind).

I think one of the major challenges of using emacs and another app on the same files is that they don’t use the same data model and thus there are always things that don’t work as expected.

Personally I don’t need all my notes on the phone, for those that I do, I have a separate directory that I synchronize with beorg (including todos that I want beorg to track).
