### 5/5 — label option

*2024-09-29*

This is a very helpful software，but when i using for the keyboard clipboard， i hope have the option to show the label or not，label box takes up too much space。  thank you.

### 3/5 — A Must Have App, but crashes a LOT

*2024-08-16*

Anybuffer is the answer to creating a universal import and export object clipboard for use with the IOS "Share" mechanism for making file and data pipes between applications. It is the first I've seen that actually works reliably with nearly any format, for any app, and any sharing extension. It preserves the original object data and metadata, though you can get slightly different results depending on how certain apps may share differently using different extensions. (For example, whether a file thumbnail gets created in Anybuffer seems to depend on how it imports that file.) Hopefully the developers really need to fix how it crashes so much for so many reasons. It is still a must have app for IOS if you share data between different apps it need to save PDFs for printing later, but unless the people at Anybuffer clean up their act some other companies going to eat their lunch.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback.

Can you please contact me at info@ameba.co? I’m currently in the middle of redesign both of item sharing and preview, and I would like to incorporate your feedback.

### 5/5 — Windows Clipboard

*2024-01-13*

If you are a windows user looking for a clipboard app, this is it. All the other apps on here calling themselves copy or paste or clipboard are not all all what you are looking for. This is essentially Windows Clipboard but better.

### 5/5 — Feature request

*2023-12-12*

Would it be possible to add a shortcut that allows one to rename an item?

### 5/5 — Love

*2023-10-08*

Love this app, such a great way to organize and archive things you come across online

### 4/5 — Great app except …

*2023-06-22*

This is a great app. But has a short coming that needs to be addressed ASAP when you store files like PDF, it does not show a graphic representation of the file in the iOS app. The Mac app will show graphic representations of almost every file but not the iOS app. Same thing happens with URLs when you send a PDF file to the app on the iOS version it’s shows you an icon with the logo of the app, but it is not enough to identify the document. This is a major shortcoming, because if you sent a lot of documents or PDF to the app, you will end up with icons that you have to open one by one in order to know what they have in them. I hope the developer fixes this soon.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2023-02-14, version 2023.1*

Really happy that the developer keeps improving this helpful app!

### 1/5 — Crash, crash, crash…

*2023-02-11, version 2021.7*

Whenever I try adding items from within the app or click an object in a folder it just wants to crash on me.

If this gets fixed, this rating is going to 5 but now the app is just pointless to have.

### 1/5 — Battery Killer

*2023-01-13, version 2021.7*

Background app refresh is off for this app, but it constantly shows up as what drains about 30% of my battery overnight while I sleep. It also seems to crash a decent amount now. I think its been abandoned by its devs.
