### 3/5 — Paste No More...

*2022-01-25, version 3.0.0*

2022 Update: I've left Paste (unsubscribed) for a much better alternative (Craft Notes app).  Glad I did when I just saw this new update to disallow editing on Mobile!  I use my iPad 99% of the time.  What were you thinking, Paste Team?  And you never gave us Search (across boards) feature, either.  My suggestion?  Check out the aforementioned fabulous app with mega-search, etc., etc.  It's incredible!
Former reviews:  Thanks for the beautiful and professional Unsplash photos! Very helpful to add inspiration to my boards. Previous: Thanks for the new fonts! I love how the app beautifies my text and photos automatically with just the right background. Such a great way to create cards and boards for sharing with teams. I use it personally to organize my screenshots and other miscellaneous notes. Can’t wait for Search feature, which developers said (a long time ago) is forthcoming...

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the kind words about Paste. Glad you like the custom font feature! I have good news, as of today, 11/08, you can now search for deck title when using Paste on the web (search will come to Paste mobile soon). If you have ANY questions or feedback about search please don't hesitate to reach out.

### 2/5 — Good idea. Poor performance.

*2021-07-25, version 1.8.2*

Wanted to love it but it’s just too slow to show anything.

### 3/5 — Frame load error on login

*2021-05-14, version 1.8.1*

Latest version of iOS

### 2/5 — We transfer

*2020-12-16, version 1.7.5*

I can not get my video file in we transfer.

### 4/5 — Sign In with Apple

*2020-08-20, version 1.7.5*

Why don’t you support Sign In with Apple? Isn’t it required since you offer sign in with Slack and Google?

### 4/5 — Good app

*2020-06-30, version 1.7.5*

But, why does not allow you add your photos after a few times?

### 3/5 — App crashes

*2020-05-05, version 1.7.4*

This app is really good. But recently I found that the app tends to crash after a certain period of time in my iPad Mini.

### 2/5 — Great idea, but Paste won’t let me paste

*2020-02-03, version 1.7.3*

This app is pretty decent, but I literally can’t do the main thing they advertise—I can’t copy and paste an image. Sure, I can export and import, but that’s two multi-step steps that cut-and-paste was created to avoid! What’s the point of this app then? A pretty interface?

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that! Could you please contact us via the link below with a little more info:

### 2/5 — Not Working

*2020-02-02, version 1.7.3*

It’s preventing me from creating a new deck. Loved the look of the app just wish it worked.

### 4/5 — Could use some new features...

*2020-01-23, version 1.7.3*

I personally find Paste very helpful in my daily life. I am able to use it for business/academic reasons,  and also in personal daily life(not what it’s meant for but hey, it works). It has a great, minimalistic design that is appealing, and a very simple, user-friendly interface. I have a few suggestions to make Paste even better though.

1) I think paste should have an option where you can insert a chart/graph. I work with these a lot and would prefer to be able to do them in the app/website, instead of creating it somewhere else then transferring it to Paste.

2) There should be settings built into the app. Whenever I want to change the colors, it takes me to a separate web page where I can edit the settings. But, I have to completely close the app for those changes to register. Adding a settings options would be a lot more efficient.

Other than that great app! I would definitely recommend it to others!

### 4/5 — Not optimized for iPhone

*2019-06-15, version 1.7.0*

UI not optimized for iPhone and it’s very noticeable.

### 3/5 — Pencil support

*2019-06-02, version 1.7.0*

I wish you could write in this app instead of having to transfer from another app. I love the idea of paste but having to switch apps a lot makes us a little iffy to use it.

### 3/5 — I loved ’Paper’ app like ’Paste’ just not sure what to do with it?

*2019-05-26, version 1.7.0*

I absolutely know that ’Paste’ is not the same app as Paper 53, so there's no confusion there. 

What I'm having a problem with, is I'm an artist and writer, and as much as I open Paste up...i don't know what I'm doing⁉️ I read all the reviews for the first time and it seems like it's used a lot by ’teams’-I’m assuming using storyboards for group ideas or advertising, etc. 

Is there anyone or even support that can help me figure out what to do with my writing & art? Other then that I can drag photos to make a slide show...but I can do that on an iPhone anyway. 

HELP..I want to utilize Paste for what it's been designed for, but I'm completely confused❓ 
Thank you

### 3/5 — I love the idea of this app.

*2019-05-20, version 1.7.0*

The automatic scaling usually works for me and I’m super in favor of the simple to use “decks” but I just wish it was as good as the online version. 

It feels like the forgotten WeTransfer product right now as it’s still extremely limited compared to the online version. I would love to be able to choose where the main image should be through the layout options. I also wish It would look the same on iPad as it does on Mac but due to those limitations you never know what to expect and you can’t consistently share the deck with your team as not everyone sees the same layout. 

Also some other things that I feel are necessary additions are the switching between teams in iOS app, and a generic account page. 

Again, you did a lot of good things here, I just don’t want it to get lost in the pack.

### 4/5 — Offline access

*2019-01-13, version 1.7.0*

I really enjoyed this app, since this is exactly what I was searching for, and thankfully found. 

Apart from few minor bugs, my only considerable suggestion/complain it is that it should be a way to visualise everything offline, since personally my main use is to past art and write about it as references, thus creating my own work.

An then sometimes it is just useless since very often I am in places where there is no connection to any internet at all, and I want to see and use the app, it feels very frustrating; it would be very nice if you guys could find a way to make this possible. 

But again, thank you very much for this application, it is perfect for I was aiming for! 

Hope you guys can grow even more, rooting for y'all!

### 2/5 — Wish this worked

*2018-12-30, version 1.7.0*

I really want to use this app but it just doesn’t work. Drawing in app is impossible and the countless simple bugs makes this app unusable.

### 2/5 — Requires a sign-in

*2018-12-11, version 1.7.0*

Another app that requires an account just to use. 👎👎 will not use.

### 1/5 — No longer lets you create presentations(?!)

*2022-03-25, version 3.0.1*

I’m not sure what purpose this app serves if it can’t create presentations. Drafting ideas in Paper and importing them into Paste was a clear and obvious workflow. But if you’re sending users to the desktop anyway, why wouldn’t they use Keynote or PowerPoint or Slides instead?

### 1/5 — Unusable.

*2022-03-05, version 3.0.0*

Caught in an endless loop of signing in — I see a bunch of random “teams” I never was a part of and I can’t join them anyway.

It’s kind of incredible — did no one actually try and test this? It’s completely unusable.

### 1/5 — Paste Preview Dissapoints

*2022-02-21, version 3.0.0*

After years of using Paste App and making it central to our team’s remote workflow, we were surprised to find the central functionality we rely on entirely removed from the platform without a word’s notice. 

And to make it sound like you’re doing users a favor by making it “simpler and beautiful” is kind of a joke.

### 1/5 — The iPad app does not work. At all.

*2021-05-20, version 1.8.1*

Just purchased WeTransfer Pro and was excited to use Paste. Unfortunately it does not work at all. When trying to sign-in, it asks what team I want to use/join. When I select the team, nothing happens and there is no option to do anything else except exit, at which point I’m forced to sign-in again, and the viscous circle continues. I’ve also tested this on Chrome desktop and it does not work either, nor does the offered extension for Chrome. The only place I’ve gotten this app to work so far is within the Safari desktop app. Please fix as some people have paid for premium services and thus expect the product in the very least to function properly. Right now this is unusable for iPad.

### 1/5 — useless

*2021-03-03, version 1.7.6*

This app does not work as advertised for me. I’m on an iPad Air 4th gen.

It’s very glitchy. Does not play well with the keyboard or the pencil.

### 1/5 — Crashed right away

*2020-12-23, version 1.7.5*

What gives?

### 1/5 — This is buggy

*2020-10-19, version 1.7.5*

I like this app for refining an idea and sharing with others. It’s got some bugs with using. The typing and layout bugs with using bullet points doesn’t maintain the alignment and changes when it saves the slides.

### 1/5 — Will steal your money

*2020-08-18, version 1.7.5*

This company will charge you but then not give services or later resell you the same service. Be warned. Great packaging and marketing. In the end buy only if you have the extra cash to throw away

### 1/5 — Horrible UX

*2019-04-01, version 1.7.0*

Who designed this? Paper by 53 was an outstanding app, but this is useless. So very sad because I spent money and am deleting because of the terrible UX design.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2018-02-27, version 1.2.0*

I use 53paper professionally and personal use but Paste has no functional value

### 5/5 — So Far zero complaints.

*2021-03-23, version 1.7.7*

I’m finding this app very useful for my purposes.  So easy to copy and paste.  Yeahhhh.

### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps

*2019-09-14, version 1.7.1*

Great app to organize everything you find worth it online.
Great for customers/employees presentations.

### 5/5 — An absolute delight

*2019-04-02, version 1.7.0*

An app built with care!

### 5/5 — One of the top 3 most Useful Apps EVER

*2019-01-23, version 1.7.0*

I try - and buy a lot of apps.  100s every year.  Especially ones geared towards photography journaling & marketing.  I have found my soulmate. ❤️

### 5/5 — Present like a star

*2018-06-06, version 1.4.0*

Great design. Easy to create.

### 5/5 — Creatively Fun!

*2018-04-21, version 1.4.0*

This is definitely my new favorite app to create fun and engaging content.

### 5/5 — Rarely works the same way twice.

*2018-01-19, version 1.0.4*

When it works, I really love it. Problem is, it keeps signing me out, and when I try to sign in again it forces me to create a new account. Then I can't access the old account. On Safari I keep getting error messages.

Very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Can’t sign in

*2018-01-02, version 1.0.2*

This is wack. I can’t sign in and make a deck. 👎👎

### 5/5 — Perfect for our team

*2017-12-19, version 1.0.1*

It’s so simple to create something great, but also quickly. You just drag and drop, that’s it! Best collaboration tool ever, and it’ll not be the one you spend the most time on, it disappears in your workflow, but certainly you can’t live without it.

### 5/5 — Presentations for modern teams.

*2017-12-04, version 1.0*

Paste lets my team view a deck as a storyboard, rearrange slides, so my team tell a story in a snap. 

It’s simple, web based, allows all modern file types, super beautiful automation giving my team a powerful space to build ideas into meaningful stories.
