Reviews of Yoink

Leave a Review Yoink
  • Incredibly useful!

    One of my must have utilities - so hand to keep documents and clippings and move them between apps. Like a working pasteboard.
  • Legacy widgets???

    Could you please finally support normal (not legacy) widgets on ios?

    Developer Response

    Hi Leopardsnow, thank you for your review and feedback on Yoink for iPhone and iPad. Absolutely, I'll get to work on it as soon as I'm done with finishing up development on ScreenFloat 2.0, which will not be too much longer. My apologies for the delay. As a solo developer, at least for me, I find it tough sometimes to prioritize correctly. But I'm in the final push of ScreenFloat 2, so I think I made the right call. All the best to you, - Matthias
  • No updates. Widget is outdated

    Yoink used to be an amazing app. Unfortunately, it looks like its development was abandoned… There haven’t been updates in over a year.

    In my opinion, one of its main funcionalities is the widget that allows us to quickly add and retrive text from clipboard history. The app still hasn’t updated to the new widgets introduced on ios 15 or 14…

    Maybe now, with iOS 17, the developer will update it to have interactive widgets.
