I’m a brand new user working to understand how Obsidian works. Thought it was me, but my friend agrees that it’s not what should be happening. I deleted one install of Obsidian and redownloaded hoping it would help.

You can open the settings by either hitting Cmd-, (Cmd-Comma) or there is a little gear icon at the bottom left of the app.

In the settings, you’ll see “About” and there it will show the version.

Just in case you downloaded from the App Store, you may have accidentally downloaded the iOS version. Some people did that, and the app doesn’t behave as expected. Make sure to download Obsidian from the Obsidian website if you’re running on MacOS.
