I have been able to use Scribe to copy from my Mac to my iPhone, which is cool. Am I correct in understanding that the app is only designed to work in that direction, or is it also possible to copy text from an iOS device to the Mac (which is really what I find myself wanting to do more often)? ### 2/5 — Not very useful *2016-05-15* Can't paste from phone to Mac, so essentially worthless ### 3/5 — Half a solution *2015-08-22, version 1.1.0* I wanted to like this app, but seriously - being only able to copy from Mac to iPhone is only ½ a solution. Need to be able to do the reverse. Implement that and you’ll get more customers and stars. ### 4/5 — great app *2015-01-13* For the occassional use I call on it for, it works great. Thx! ### 3/5 — Great start *2015-01-04* But what happened to the road map? Is this app still being maintained? no updates in almost a year ### 2/5 — did not work *2014-12-27* after all my attempts and reboots …. it did not work. good idea tho ### 4/5 — 6+ & OS X 10.10.1 *2014-12-26, version 1.1.0* Just downloaded it and it works as advertised. I like the straight forward interface (CMD-SHIFT-x) I wish it supported Waze. ### 2/5 — iOS device to Mac? *2014-12-24, version 1.1.0* Seems reasonable, no? ### 4/5 — Great concept; a bit limited *2014-09-29* I love the concept, but I'd like to see the ability to link with multiple machines. ### 2/5 — Bad features, great design *2014-07-24* The bad: Anything above 60kb takes forever or fails (so no images at all). Can't send from phone to computer. Only copying text from comp to phone isn't useful, as already have Messages and email on computer. The good: Great UI and UX... Please just fix the above 2 and you'll get 5 stars ### 4/5 — plain and useful app *2014-07-09* I'd rate five stars, if you added the bidirectional workflow. ### 2/5 — Major BLE Connectivity Issues *2014-03-06, version 1.1.0* Useless because it keeps losing connection and re-pairing is a real nightmare. I wish it were as stable as Knock. I’ll revisit my review/rating once they come up with a more stable/usable update. In the meantime, stay clear from this app and keep using Command-C, even if it only works over WiFi. ### 3/5 — Not a bad way to transfer text... *2014-02-26* I got 2 iphones and and iPad, so far I can only seem to link one device at a time, and relinking is tedious.. please allow several devices to be linked and it gets 5 stars ### 3/5 — What about *2014-02-06, version 1.0.3* Add it to windows? ### 3/5 — Send from iphone *2014-02-05, version 1.0.3* So far I'm liking this app, only thing wrong with it is there is no way to send from iOS to OS X Please fix ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ummm, zero stars. *2022-02-14* I can’t even get the app until y’all at least update to 15.1. Y’all are extremely behind for the iPhones and I won’t be having them type of problematic issues just lurking around on my iPhone due to your application. Fix it, I may be a returning customer, IF not, peace out! My husband (being an Apple Developer) and myself just dabbing my feet into it, apps like this are dominating and they’re gonna pass yours in time and I mean STOMP on yours if y’all don’t play, “Ketchup”. Lol! All In all, wish you the best of luck but it’s disappointing that y’all are this behind. *Tisk Tisk* ### 1/5 — Doesn't deliver *2017-05-30, version 1.1.0* I was looking for a quick and reliable way to transfer images from my Mac to my phone. Once I figured out what I was doing (terrible onboarding) and I go to transfer my first images the software gives me a warning stating it works best for URL's and text snippets, not large files such as images. Your description says your software can transfer images and it doesn't do it. Very disappointing and more than a little misleading. I hate giving negative reviews but saying your product does something it doesn't is a big no-no in my book. ### 1/5 — Terrible program *2016-02-12* I couldn’t get it to work to save my neck! Just a stupid program and I had high hopes for it. ### 1/5 — Doesn't do what it says *2015-11-18, version 1.1.0* Total waste of time. It says " copy anything from Mac to iPhone " it doesn't copy "anything" I wanted to copy a video, get the message " sorry we don't support that file". Not quite sure that the developers understand the true meaning of " anything " Uninstalling it ### 1/5 — Doesn’t recognize paired devices *2015-08-17* Same problem as ipodtouchuser87 had. Doesn’t recognize paired iphone and iMac ### 1/5 — Constantly fails to recognize paired devices *2015-06-30* I wanted to love this app because its function is a super simple and helpful one that is missing from iOS, but it doesn't work properly and constantly fails to recognize my phone that is paired to my Macbook, forcing me to repair and uninstall everything for it to function. Tired of fussing around to make this work. ### 1/5 — Broken *2014-11-01, version 1.1.0* "Hello from Scribe!" Keeps coming up when I copy and paste normal things around my phone the only way to stop I lt is by deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Why... *2014-06-19* ... the heck did I pay $2 for this? Safari already shares links from my Mac. Scribe, why do I need you? Give me more reasons to keep you. ### 1/5 — DeskConnect *2014-02-16, version 1.0.3* Horrible Just try DeskConnect! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2014-02-05, version 1.0.3* Don't buy it. It doesn't work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2015-01-01* This app was easy to set up, and it looks and works great. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-12-31* This works perfectly but the limitation for type file is kind of irritating ### 5/5 — Alshaibah *2014-12-30* Good ### 5/5 — Really fast and stable *2014-05-21* I just type CMD+shift+X my clipboard from mac will automatically give it to my phone. I just have to paste out. Fast and more reliable then wifi method. I can choose to send via whatsapp too, awesome!! It's worth every buck ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-03-06* I don't know about the others but it worked like a charm for me! Great product! Kudos!!! ### 5/5 — Update *2014-01-31, version 1.0.3* Great you fixed the issues with this app. Keep up the great work. Now the app is outstanding. ### 5/5 — So awesome! *2014-01-24, version 1.0.2* This app is perfect! Saves so much time copying little things that I know longer have to email my self or drop in my Dropbox! ### 5/5 — great app to iphone user *2014-01-24, version 1.0.2* Now there is no tension of bluethooth search.. Any large file can be send form one device to anohe.. No need of cable also. Thank you for such a amazing appp. ### 5/5 — Visionary *2014-01-23, version 1.0.1* Simple and elegant ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2014-01-23, version 1.0.1* Such a great idea! Loved the app!
