iCloud sync? Finally. A great “shelf” for any device

I have used this on my Mac for years. I great place to put things I will need later. It works that way on my iPhone and iPad and that is fine. I have always wanted syncing, however. With version 2.0 iCloud syncing is supposed to be a reality, at lease between IOS devices (mac coming soon). Anyway, it seems iCloud sync allows you to “see” and even “open” things on other devices. I have not been able to save items from other devices, although handoff does that. Handoff between devices and between devices and a Mac works great.So this is not really a “sync” it just allows a window into other devices that are open and that have something in them. If a devices Yoink is empty it will not appear on the sync list.

One feature/request/want?

I very much enjoy Yoink. 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 Yoink 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 Yoink 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 Yoink 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.

Inconsistent at Best

I love the idea of Yoink however I am having a huge problem with the "syncing" to iCloud. This has happened on more than one occasion and I'm either going to have to switch off iCloud syncing or stop using Yoink all together.This is what is happening. I save items that's I'd like to either look at later or share later to both my iPhone and iPad, this last instance was on my iPad. So after a while I'll launch the actual app to look at what I've saved, clear out items I no longer need, share items, etc. I see the items on the iPad and then I swipe over to the iPhone to see what's there that I might want to look at and it showed six items. Then I switch over to the iPhone because I'm sure I have more than six items saved and it shows 13... then it syncs with iCloud from evidently the iPad "sync" and I LOSE seven items!!!This is not cool at all and it needs to be fixed.

Useful information from the developer (NOT ME)

- From Yoink (iOS) to Yoink (Mac)Launch Yoink 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 Yoink’s icon with a little iOS device on top of it. Click it.Now the Handoff process will start- From Yoink (Mac) to Yoink (iOS)Select the files you’d like to transfer in Yoink on MacIf your iOS device is an iPad, on the right side of your Dock, Yoink’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 “Yoink - from ” - 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 “Yoink - from ” - tap it.Please let me know if that worked for you.

Great app

A great app that I bought by faith not really knowing if I would use it. Easy to use and has great features, but with one caveat: the iCloud backup feature is very glitchy. I can delete all files in Yoink and iCloud both and then two days later they’re back on my iPhone and I don’t have Yoink on my Mac either. Weird.Update:Hi Dev, I appreciate your email back to me. I’m about to upgrade this old iPhone to the latest one available directly from Apple. After I do that, I’ll be sure to put your latest build on that phone, run tests and get back to you then. Thanks!

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

All changes on this update are greatly appreciated thank you for making syncing everything all together instead of separated by devices it’s so much better now I have suggestions that would make the app perfect 1. When viewing copyed text the font is extremely small very hard to read make the font adjustable or just make it much bigger2. I’m constantly opening other apps that are blue like the App Store for example you should add a icon picker or make your icon unique so that it’s easier to distinguish from other apps3. Fix the file information feature has the text overlapping. More info about the file would also be nice🚨4.I noticed that the app said my Yonik app was taking up 8 gb even Though I didn’t have any large files in here and after deleted most of the files and links it still was taking up the 8 gb on my iPad

Picture-in-picture for docs and pics

Yoink has always pushed the boundaries of what is possible in iOS’s sandboxed environment, but the new picture-in-picture functionality takes this to the next level. Yoink now let’s you put documents or pictures in picture-in-picture mode, making them viewable from other apps without having to switch back and forth between apps. This is a game-changer for iOS and something that has never been possible before—almost like having a slide-over mode on iPhone. They are also now able to use picture-in-picture mode to continuously monitor the clipboard and capture everything you copy—useful if you know you’ll need to capture a bunch of things to paste later. Still one of the most useful Mac and iOS utilities. Highly recommend.

Yoink for the win!

Since the first day it was released on iOS I loved Yoink!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 yoink 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 yoink Keyboard!The iOS 12 shortcuts support, which added a copy clipboard to yoink 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!!!

Fantastic app and support

This is a terrific shelf app. I have tried Yoink and Gladys, and prefer Yoink. Gladys seems good for highly technical people that need to disaggregate elements of links or files. But for ordinary users like me, Yoink has a much more functional view/preview capacity. I can save images or video clips in Yoink and see them full screen when deciding what to do with them. Support is great. I had trouble figuring out how to make sync work. Emailed the support address and the developer himself wrote me back the next day. Issue turned out to be operator error. Great app. 10/10 would purchase again.

Finally!

Update: still using Yoink 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 Yoink. Original review: I’ve been using Yoink 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 ☺️
