### 1/5 — ただの改悪アプデ。買い切りでも無いし乗り換えた。

*2026-02-21, version 2.8*

今までは無料で使い勝手も良かったけど、課金性になり使う価値も無くなった。
[コピペ帳]というアプリに乗り換えたが、こちらの方が無料で優秀。お世話になりました。アンインストールします。

### 1/5 — アプデで改悪

*2025-12-23, version 2.4*

有料になったこと自体は、便利なアプリなので受け入れられるのですが、編集時に一定の長さの文章になると問題が生じるようになりました。
表示範囲を超える部分の文章を編集しようとすると、アクティブカーソルはその位置にセットされる一方で、アプリ側が表示範囲を自動的にトップの位置に戻そうとするため、画面が行ったり来たりしてしまい、全く編集できません。

有料でも構いませんので、この点については改善していただければと思っています。このまま直らないようでしたら、事実上編集がほぼ不可能なため、解約を検討せざるを得ません。

### 1/5 — 良いアプリだったのに有料化で残念

*2025-11-09, version 2.4*

課金しないと今まで登録していた定型文章も見られない。ひどすぎます

### 5/5 — 素晴らしいアプリです

*2025-10-10, version 2.4*

文字入力が格段に楽になります。買い切りであれば結構高くても購入する人はいるのでは。自分はすぐ買います。

### 1/5 — アップデートしたら機能制限されて5個までになった

*2025-09-28, version 2.4*

アップデートで改悪された。課金しないと今まで使ってたテンプレ文が呼び出せなくなった

### 1/5 — 買う価値はない

*2025-09-28, version 2.4*

無料でも複数のコピペを所持できるのが強みだったが今や3つのみ。これ普通に辞書登録でいいです。

### 1/5 — Chance

*2025-09-20*

You should at least let people get a chance to retrieve old text before asking them to pay, it’s too tricky.now I cannot access my old organized texts except pay first, it’s my text not yours!

### 1/5 — アプデにより改悪

*2025-06-25, version 2.3*

今まで何個もコピーテキストを残すことが出来愛用していたのですが
自動更新にしていたらいつの間にか有料に…
無料ではひとつしか使えない、それも1つのタブに保存してるうちの5個のコピーしか選択できない。
アプデ前は完全無料で、利用者のことを考えてくれていたのを感じていたのにやっぱりお金が欲しいんですねとなってしまった、
お金が貰えれば無料で使ってる人が不便を感じてていいんですね、と。
年間3200円はコピーアプリに課金するには高すぎます。買い切りの値段にして欲しい。
360円を年間、3200円を買い切りにしたら少しはお金落とす人増えるんじゃないですか？それかお金取るのを諦めて無料に戻してください。

### 1/5 — 好きだったのに

*2025-06-17, version 2.3*

めっちゃ使いやすくていいアプリだと思ってたのに
課金化されて前までのコピペが見ることすら出来なくなった。
せめて前までのやつを課金なしでも見れるようにしてほしい。

### 2/5 — 保存していた物が消えた

*2025-05-14, version 2.3*

昔よく使っていてすごく沢山の定型文を保存していました。
これを久しぶりに使おうと思ってアップデートして開いたら定型文が全部！全部消えていました！！

アップデート前の無料版で登録したものだからでしょうか？とにかく本当に何も残っていなくて悲しいです。

私では作れない、昔の友人が作ってくれた可愛いアスキーアートとかもあったのでできれば復元したいですが難しいのでしょうかね、、、、残念です
