### 5/5 — Super

*2026-05-04*

Genau, was ich gesucht habe, keine Werbung, perfekter Zwischenablage manager, läuft mit ios 26+ und auch noch auf Deutsch 👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Great for teachers!

*2022-07-17*

I’ve been using copyclip on my mac for years and love it but I wanted to transition to grading on my iPad. I needed something like it for the iPad that was easy to use. As a teacher, I see the same general mistakes across submitted assignments so I write one comment to address and redress the mistake. Then I grab it and paste it into my feedback whenever that mistake pops up on a submission. This app is GREAT for that…. even on a small iPad. I keep the app open in the background… read the submission in the LMS or download it… WORD etc…  Then when I need the comment, it is easy to swap the screen with a flick of my fingers, grab the comment… then CTRL-V.. and done! 

What I like most is that you can favourite the clips you are working on for any given assignment! That way when you teach the class again, you can simply choose the comments from the last time you graded it to get you started in the grading the new set of submissions. I write personalized comments too of course but for the general comments, this will save you TONs of time!

This is indispensable for teachers, works well and is a no brainer to have on your iPad. (and I never write reviews… but this app deserves this great review and I hope you like it as much as I do)…. This app finally allows me to use my iPad as my primary tool for grading!

### 2/5 — Needs link capability

*2021-05-16*

I was disappointed to discover that while the app does copy text it fails to copy URL links. That is a feature I need

### 3/5 — Support for Dark Mode + iOS Rich Content

*2021-01-07*

Nice design, but please update to support Dark Mode and previewing ‘iOS Rich Content’, which has become more common.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback and suggestions.

### 4/5 — Ok

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all!

*2014-10-29*

Doesn't work on iOS8 at all!

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2014-10-23*

数々、Clipboardアプリ買いました
某 赤いアイコンのClipboard アプリの
UIの古臭さから乗り換えなるアプリ
探してましたー
このアプリは安定してますー
(∗˃̶ ᵕ ˂̶∗)

最初のiCloudの同期だけは手間どりました
設定→コピー履歴→iCloudをONで
iPhone、iPadを電源、ホームボタンで
再起動。これで同期しましたー
---------------------------
追記。ios8.1で再び
同期できるようなりましたー
ただし、iPhone、iPadとも
iCloud Driveを設定しなければ
同期なりません

### 1/5 — iOS8で動作しない…

*2014-10-01*

iOS7では問題なく動作していたのですが、iOS8にアップデートしたら、新規コピー後にこのアプリを開いても保持されません… (ｰ ｰ;)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t function properly

*2014-09-12*

Doesn’t save all copied clips. No manual sorting for favorites. Way too basic besides being non-functional.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. To add an item in your clipboard to the history, simply open the app. The item will then be automatically added to the list.

### 1/5 — ん〜

*2014-04-08*

いちいちコピーしたら起動しないと保持しない。
無料ので十分かな。
