### 4/5 — Feature request

*2026-07-02, version 2.30*

I really like this app. I’ve used PasteNow for over a year and have been mostly satisfied with it. However, it can sometimes be difficult to search for code snippets like `curl` commands in more than a thousand `curl`s in clipboard history. If the developer could add a feature to narrow down search results using multiple keywords separated by spaces, it would greatly improve the search experience.

I recently discovered a new clipboard manager called Clipory, which excels at searching. I currently run both Clipory and PasteNow so I can use Clipory’s excellent search feature alongside PasteNow’s cross-device syncing.

Really hope you can enhance the search feature.

### 2/5 — Sync and customer support issues

*2026-06-07, version 2.30*

iCloud syncing keeps breaking and customer support answers only weeks later

### 3/5 — 触控板唤醒界面

*2026-05-25, version 2.30*

能否增加四指点击以唤醒显示界面，并显示在光标处

### 5/5 — Everyday driver

*2026-04-12, version 2.29*

I’ve been using this app for almost two years and it worth every single penny! My everyday driver.

### 5/5 — Getting better with every update

*2026-03-09, version 2.27.1*

I’ve used many clipboard apps for Mac over the years, some good and some bad.  I’ve had this for a while now as I saw the potential in it, but I had a fuller-featured one as my daily driver. I’ve recently come back to this one though as my go-to clipboard manager as it’s much smoother to use than it used to be and there’s some cool new features on the horizon too.  Get the pro version and support the developer.  It’s not expensive and worth every penny.  Much better than the super expensive options out there.  Looking forward to the next release!

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2026-02-26, version 2.28*

It saves my time a lot. Definitely a productivity tool for my daily use.

### 5/5 — Best in Class

*2026-02-08, version 2.27.1*

For clipboard apps, I give this the “Best in Class” award. I have the “other” Paste app, and there is no comparison in speed of synchronization.

### 4/5 — Muy bien pero…

*2026-01-31, version 2.27.1*

Me gusta mucho la app… pero el tema de la sincronización entre la App de Mac y la de IOS no termina de funcionar muy bien. Si copio algo en mi iPhone no me aparece en Mac ni viceversa.. Sería una gran app si esto funcionara!

### 1/5 — Very unstable	 Product

*2026-01-30, version 2.27.1*

It is not worth buying at all. The app keeps crashing. Super Disappointed

### 4/5 — Share with PasteNow

*2026-01-25, version 2.25*

Please add a option to share an image or whatever with PasteNow. I think it is a the most powerful request, and easier to develop compare with add a keyword.
