A few quibbles – Yoink - Improved Drag and Drop Review

Update: The keyboard is still incapable of “typing” into a text entry field, so this app is still useless for me. Original Review: Overall, a decent clipboard manager. It needs a few refinements before it will fit my use-case, however. So that potential buyers (and the developer) know where I’m coming from, my use-case is as follows: I receive emails with client information which I need to track, which I do using a database app (Ninox). I need to copy multiple pieces of information (usually 12+, all short snippets of text like names, city, etc.) from the email in order to enter them into the database. Since the database app doesn’t support slide-over / side-by-side / drag & drop yet, I need to be able to use the custom keyboard to enter the copied data into the requisite fields. Suggestions for improvements: • A “clear all” button to quickly clear everything currently stored. I need to clear the clippings every time I use this workflow, so that I don’t intermingle client info by mistake, and 12+ taps to do that is clunky when it could be done in one or two. • The ability to pick up things from the system clipboard automatically, in addition to drag/drop. It is impossible to select a 2-letter state abbreviation and then drag & drop it into Yoink (or anything else) - I’ve tried nultiple times, & it just doesn’t work. You inevitably just tap the selection handles, not the content. Since the “copy” option comes up automatically when selecting text, this would streamline the operation. • Display of more items at a time in the keyboard. The “buttons” are inordinately large if the only things stored are the length of a zip code. A preference setting to adjust this would be really nice. • The ability to tap a “button” on the keyboard and have it paste or type the contents where the insertion point is, instead of having to drag/drop everything. Not all apps support drag/drop (my primary destination app is a prime example here), and for those that don’t, this app becomes completely useless because you can’t get the data out of it and into where it needs to go. So, to sum up: Overall, it’s a nice app, and it does what it claims to do. It just doesn’t work for my use-case right now.
