Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Automatic clipboard capture without opening app

High Demand
"You literally have to open the app EVERYTIME you copy something. If you don't, it will NOT save!"
"Only seems to save the clipboard when I open it. Might be a limitation of the iPhone but makes it pretty useless."

#2: Today Widget or keyboard extension access

High Demand
"The other clipboard managers let you access them from Today Widget or keyboard addon. This app has a always show notification option but it just launches the app when you tap it so what is the point of that?"

#3: Batch delete and delete all functionality

High Demand
"Very handy except it's missing a delete all or delete multiple function. I don't like having my copied text saved forever with no way for batch deleting."

#4: Security options (PIN/biometric lock)

Medium Demand
"Could use pin or finger print security"

#5: Image clipboard support

Medium Demand
"Cannot 'clip' image files, it converts it to source code in text format."

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Build true background clipboard monitoring with iOS system integration

The #1 complaint is manual app opening required. Solving automatic capture is the core value proposition that Clipboard++ fails to deliver.

Create keyboard extension and Today Widget for quick access

Users explicitly compare to competitors that offer these features. Quick paste access without opening the app is critical for workflow efficiency.

Implement robust batch management (delete multiple, delete all, favorites)

Users need to manage clipboard history at scale. Missing bulk operations make the app unusable once history grows.

Add PIN/biometric security with sensitive content filtering

Clipboard data often contains passwords, personal info. Security features address the privacy concerns raised about background behavior.

Support multiple content types (text, images, links, files) with smart categorization

Current text-only limitation and broken image support leaves major use cases unaddressed. Rich content support differentiates from basic clipboard tools.
