About this blog

In this blog I describe my personal experiences with selected iPhone Apps. I will not repeat a feature list, or copy screenshots or text from elsewhere - I suppose that my readers will find the description in the Appstore (mostly I will add a link to the Appstore to my posts), and are interested in user experiences before they decide whether they should buy or not.

Stickum and Clipshare: apps for the clipboard




Stickum:

ClipShare:
[Appstore link]

With the finally implemented support for copy and paste a new type of application became possible:

Apps that accept the contents of the clipboard and save it for later use. Thus a collection of text bits and fragments can be build up, ready to be copied back to the clipboard once it will be used in another app. This us especially useful for email adresses or HTML code fragments.

The first two such apps are Stickum and ClipShare. Both work quite well, but there are differences and room for improvement, too.

ClipShare is easier to understand and has the slicker user interface. Furthermore, ClipShare can even access the clipboard on a Mac, when the free server application is installed and paired via WIFI to the iPhone. This makes it extremely convenient to populate the app's list on the iPhone.

What is missing is an option to group clips in folders in order to keep the list well organized and short.

I could not get the ClipShare server application running on one of my Macs, but it worked fine on another Mac and in a different WLAN. The support by the author reacted within minutes and tried to fix it. I can highly recommend both apps, which are really cheap and useful. I prefer ClipShare because of its support for exchange to a paired Mac, though.
