Great app
Can’t live without this app for 10 years now
My only cover is the creep of AI in this app. I don’t know who controls that data but hopefully I’ve turned off the AI function, but I might have to stop using this after 10 years…
I need an easy way to copy and paste without all of the formatting baggage from different file types. For example , going through CVs I need to copy from PDF Word etc and put them in my own document ( in my case Apple pages or Word) just select what I want paste it to Clean Text Then copy from there. How can this still only be a “ non subscription app??” Thank you for making it an affordable one time purchase

Wow — 8 years, that truly means a lot to us! 🙏 We’re so happy Clean Text has been a reliable tool for you all this time, and that it makes your workflow easier when dealing with different file types. Thank you for supporting a one-time purchase app and for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’ll keep working hard to make sure you stay happy with the app for many more years to come.
This App Restored My Faith In Humanity!
Response from developer
Hi, your frustration is completely valid. Just to be clear: this was not a pricing model change — it was a bug that caused the app to not recognize previous purchases for some users. You don't need to pay again. We're aware that the latest update hasn't resolved all cases and we're actively investigating. Please make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for your original purchase — if that's already the case, we're working on it.
Disloyal to customers
Update 28-Feb-2026: the developer sent a response saying that he is now going to take into account past purchases. However, it’s been two updates since he sent that to me and everything is still dead and locked behind an expensive subscription. Even though I had already purchased this.
Update 18-Mar-2026: as of the last update, the developer restored functionality to those who had previously purchased the app. I think that was very decent of the developer to make that change. I am uncertain how that will be going forward seeing as how expensive the new subscriptions are, but for now things are back to normal. Thank you.

All features now behind expensive subscriptions IAP

Original review:
I bought this app in 2019, but after today’s update all of the previously existing features now seem to be behind either a subscription or expensive IAP. There was no indication of the change in the release notes. What a lousy way to treat customers.
