Copied – Copy and Paste Everywhere app good for
Works smoothly, especially when set up as a widget. Use it all the time to transfer multiple copies between apps.
Needs landscape mode. Widget doesnt load for my device iPhone 6s Plus.
Copied was great before, but wow, v2 just took its functionality to a whole new level. Superb features and an excellent interface made it a no-brainer to upgrade.
Even with the Macs Universal Clipboard enabled, I use Copied on my Mac and iOS devices because Copied does SO much more. It has become a highly essential app. Love it.
# Freemium Done Right
## Free iOS Version Is Great
The free version of the app is all you need. It only stores 10 entries, which is about all Ill remember. After using it for a few weeks, I found it very useful, and I never liked clipboard managers.
## IAP Is Temping
I wish there was a direct purchase version. In App Purchases will not share with family, nor can they be backed up. Still, iCloud, lists, and automation features are strong incentives to upgrade.
## Mac Version Is Too Expensive
The macOS version costs as much as full writing tools. Thats just nuts. The author needs to rethink pricing. For now, stick to the free iOS app and use Continuity to save a few snippets.
## Update 1
After exceeding the 10 entry limit a few time, it was time to buy the app… for iOS. This really, to me, acted as a functional demo. I am hooked, and more productive. It works great with iA Writer, which has a customizable keyboard toolbar.
The macOS app is still way to expensive, IMHO. That said, my plan is to switch to iOS as my main platform.
## Update 2
There seems to be a bug in the Text Formaters sync. It worked to initialize them on both devices, but not since. I can see full scripts not syncing because Apple is still leery of syncing scripts in general, but the basic ones are not scripts.
## Update 3
Ive noticed the app does not rotate to landscape mode on the iPhone 6S Plus. This is becoming a problem, especially when trying to view panoramic images. They appear as slivers. This also hides the more advanced landscape keyboard… which has cut, copy, and paste buttons. Its very frustrating.
## Update 4
Ive put a lot of information into this app, and while it isnt hard to get it out, there is no quick way to export or backup data. I can use a merge on a list, but not with images. I can directly paste things, but thats tedious. I imagine the Mac version has files you can backup, but I only use it in iOS.
OK there are very few times that I actually am excited about software, but this one I actually am. I found out about this product from a video Tutorial from screencastsonline.com.
I highly recommend watching that one. There are so many ways to copy little snippets of text from anywhere on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. There is an app, widgets, share extensions, etc. They even have a keyboard for the iPhone or iPad
Apple has a very basic version of copying and pasting between the iPhone and Mac but its very limited and you have to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on etc
This is the way to go using iCloud to sync between devices and its really seamless. By the way if you want to watch that tutorial I happened to know that you can purchase that tutorial individually without having to pay a monthly subscription. They have a members app and they also have a app if you want to just buy individual tutorials. I did figure it out without having to look at the video but after I looked at the video they was so much more that I learned how to do than just the basics.
I wouldnt be surprised if Apple buys this application from the developer its so great.
?
Much better than other clipboard apps I have used. The IAP adds some significant features, particularly synchronization between devices. Very useful even without the IAP ( many free apps wont do anything without an IAP). I bought the update because I find the added features very useful, especially iCloud sync among devices.
A PC program would be nice. It already syncs with MACs.
BTW, macstories dot net has an excellent discussion of all the features as used by a professional writer.
Some bad moments
The paid version advertises the handling of various format, and available templates for formats, and...
It handles ONLY plain text and there are no templates! Tried copying a yaml file - it pasted one messed up text doc. Stay away from the paid version and this developer for no ethics.
Need something automatic. It takes to much time to interact with. I dont want to have to share it and categorize it.
It might be great for pics and vids, idk, I did not test that portion.
Its baffling that a paid upgrade is needed for categorizing text into lists or folders requires a paid upgrade.
If this is a clipboard manager, then so is the notes app. You have to make an effort to get every entry in to Copied, nothing happens automatically like in a proper desktop clipboard manager.
Its really nice when it works, but syncing clipboards rarely does...
Running latest versions of iOS and OSx
I never can use copied on my iPhone. Sync does not at all.
Mac app is almost perfect. iOS app is almost useless, I regret this purchase.
1. notification widget keeps crashing, you get a message "unable to load"
2. If you quickly copy something, open app, then copy something somewhere else again and open app, it crashes
3. When you open app, sometimes it freezes during "synchronize with MacBook"
And several other bugs :/
