Loaded With Useful Features, Extremely Intuitive, & Priced To Sell!

I was a near daily user of another similar app for over five years until a recent “update” made that purchase effectively obsolete as I could no longer access the premium features that I paid for without being prompted to pay again! Adding insult to injury, the new “lifetime” version of that app would have cost me over ten times the amount that I had originally paid for the “lifetime” version! Even if this was accidental, it left a really bad taste in my mouth as the last thing you want is to be locked out of features that you not only paid for, but used thousands of times for many years on end.

Well, it didn’t take me long to discover the Manipulist app and after just a few minutes with the “lite” version, I was more than happy to pony up for the full app! The workflow is a bit different than I’m used to, but not by much, and I actually like some of the differences as they could certainly make things even easier! The price is a tremendous value when considering the plethora of features that you get.

All said, I’m at a loss to explain why this app simply isn’t more popular! I’m only glad that I was able to find it without too much digging. I would absolutely recommend this app because it’s not just packed with useful features and priced more than fairly, but it’s also about as intuitive as an app could be! I also just purchased the full version of ListFromText as I’m sure that I will be just as satisfied! Keep up the great work!

Best find and replace app!

This app has the most options for find and replace out there and you don't have to rely on complicated regular expressions to modify your text to get what you want.

Just works

Was able to edit a .srt file full of Japanese text along with lots of numbers and symbols etc to just have the text and none of the numerals, punctuation etc that I didn’t want. Figured it out in like 10 minutes. Very easy and it just gets the job done! And if it works on a complex file like that it probably works on anything. Many thanks!
