Overall Very Good

A big plus is the ability to open URL Schemes but the one drawback is the fact of no share extension.
It was good to see the update

Background Copy No Longer Works

Unfortunate, since this was the feature that set Copycan apart from other clipboard apps.

The remaining features can be found in other clipboard apps, including free/lite versions.

Fantastic app

I love this app as much as I love it's younger brother CopyCan Lite (available for free in the App Store). Fundamentally the apps work the same way. They each copy and paste and store the pasted data for future use so you can access it with the press of a button. Go to new, then paste what you've copied, then go the main screen where you'll see it on a list, then check it off and move it to a folder by clicking on the folder icon at the upper right of the screen. There are no limits to the number you can store. This version of the app has a recording feature that allows you to copy continuously for three minutes. Then you have to restart the recording. I've found it extremely useful for all kinds of information such as passwords. With this app you can permanently store the data you copy and access it later with the press of a button that copies to your clipboard,enabling you to paste it wherever its needed. Once you use it you'll wonder how you got by without it. You don't have to use the recording feature if you don't want to. You can simply follow the instructions above and store information. It's one of the most useful apps I have. It's great!!!

Great app

I use this for passwords so a fingerprint lock would be epic.

Very Good but

Very Good, lots to commend it , eg works in background, good "grouping" & adjustable font.
To become "great" it really needs a search function to easily locate clips & easier, iCloud etc back up. Also auto- save after editing, & ability to delete from view/edit screen.
Well done though :-) I use it.
