### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2026-07-01, version 2.4.0*

Really Great Clipboard Manager, NO ADS works on latest ios 26+ A German Translation would be Great

### 5/5 — Best clipboard history app

*2026-06-19, version 2.4.0*

I've tried many apps, this one us the best.

If the developer is still maintaining it, I would like to ask for couple of fixes:
1. When sharing text from other apps to Copy Better, I canon edit the title and the text. 
2. Either remove "Add to Siri" button from notes or allow the note to scroll up. Currently the button covers the bottom part of long notes.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-02-21, version 2.4.0*

The best clipboard addition on iOS.
Just install it!

### 1/5 — What appears to be a great app fails right from the start!

*2026-01-30, version 2.4.0*

Could be a great app. Unfortunately it claims it can also utilize images. This is not true. 

You can not currently add any images other than icons to your information to be cut and paste. 

Would love to give a better rating if they ever fix this. As of now though it is very limited and in my situation, totally useless.

### 5/5 — really useful little tool

*2025-12-03, version 2.4.0*

has everything you need from a clipboard manager, quick access, widgets, folders, all in one well designed free tool

thank you for your great work!

the only thing i‘d wish for is a dark mode app icon

### 5/5 — Good App

*2025-11-18, version 2.4.0*

I have to use quite a few clips (videos) to easily comment on the list of products for sale. The app is free, easy to use, and the UI is a bit old, but otherwise, it's absolutely wonderful. Please send my thanks to the creator.

### 5/5 — Efficace en toute simplicité

*2025-10-08, version 2.4.0*

Efficace en toute simplicité, ressemble à l’application NOTE d’Apple. Pas de pub, pas de superflue, merci au dévelopeur pour ce press-papier exceptionnel de simplicité !

### 5/5 — Better than any paid apps.

*2025-07-16, version 2.4.0*

This is the best copy / paste app I have discovered in the app store. I tried about a dozen prior to this one and deleted them all. They were all clumsy to use, annoying intrusive ads, and wanted you to pay ongoing subscription fees. This app is clean, no stupid ads, and is totally free. I would happily pay Mr. Willian Wu, the app developer,  a one time fee for this amazing iPhone clipboard manager. It is clean, simple, and does exactly what I want it to do. 5 stars all the way. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-01-14, version 2.4.0*

One of the better apps for quick pasting. When I got a new phone, the app and everything in it transferred over.

### 5/5 — KOSTENLOS! Und doch besser als die anderen

*2024-12-14, version 2.4.0*

Ich hatte einen Clipboard Manager gesucht der leicht zu bedienen ist und mir die Möglichkeit bietet direkt per Tastatur meine Kopien zu speichern. Dieser hier kann das problemlos und noch deutlich mehr. Ich kann Ordner anlegen und darauf auch aus der Tastatur zugreifen. Dafür wollen andere Anbieter direkt monatlich Geld von mir haben. Habe die App gerade erst entdeckt und bin mal gespannt ob der gute Eindruck lange hält.
