One feature/request/want?

By April and David (Pcmac user)

I very much enjoy this app. The one feature I would like to see (I’ll admit I may be missing the point and need a different clipboard manager) is the ability to folder or tag items. It would be most handy when using the this app keyboard to be able to switch to a specific tag or folder and grab what is needed. At this point, I have over 60 items in this app and have to scroll around to find what I am looking for. I know where most of them are at this point but I know as it grows just a little more, it is going to become unwieldy. I write a ton on iPad and iPhone versus computer or even paper so I’ve come to use this app quite a bit. I don’t use my MacBook much at all anymore but I’ve purchased both the Mac and iOS versions and this is one of those apps that even after buying, I’d be happy to gave an in-app purchase for ‘tips’ that I would use once in a while as more versions/improvements/enhancements/functionality is introduced. I definitely support, supporting developers.

- From this app (iOS) to this app (Mac) Launch this app on your iOS device. Either make a selection of the files you’d like to transfer or don’t select any files. On the Mac, in the Dock, next to the Finder icon, you should see this app’s icon with a little iOS device on top of it. Click it. Now the Handoff process will start - From this app (Mac) to this app (iOS) Select the files you’d like to transfer in this app on Mac If your iOS device is an iPad, on the right side of your Dock, this app’s icon should appear with a little Mac icon on top of it. Tap it and the Handoff process will start. If your iOS device is an iPhone X, swipe up from the very bottom to show the app switcher. There’s a black bar at the bottom saying something like “this app - from <Name of Mac>” - tap it. If your iOS device is an iPhone with a home button, click the home button twice to show the app switcher. There’s a black bar at the bottom saying something like “this app - from <Name of Mac>” - tap it. Please let me know if that worked for you.
Yoink for the win!

Since the first day it was released on iOS I loved this app! It offered so many things I crucially needed from my app! It did lack a few features, like iCloud syncing, like dark mode, like the ability to save a file to this app directly in workflow which now became iOS 12’s shortcuts! And then, the new update came! Omg! iCloud syncing was here, and the amount of customizability it offered in settings, from the amount of files to sync, to the limit of the size of the files to sync, to the ability to pick if syncing could happen on WiFi or even cellular data and so many options! It’s awesome! Dark mode! TRUE BLACK! Lovely! The this app Keyboard! The iOS 12 shortcuts support, which added a copy clipboard to this app action along with many other useful shortcuts is the answer to all my prayers! Devs, I don’t know if you will read this, because frankly by the update you released, you seem to be working day and night! But still, I’m going to tell you: HUGE THANK YOU! You rock, awesome people!!!
Finally!

Update: still using this app on my iPhone, iPad Pro and iMac almost daily. Still an indispensable part of my workflow! Two things i’m wishing for in the future are iCloud sync and GIFv support so i can see the previews in this app. Original review: I’ve been using this app on my Mac for what seems like forever. It’s an essential part of my workflow and I’m really excited to have it on my iPad Pro now! Using it as a slide-over app to drag and drop items to and from is almost exactly like the desktop experience and it’s invaluable for making me more productive on my iPad. One step closer to replacing a laptop! EDIT: Thank you for your response, Matt! I’m looking forward to your future updates ☺️
