Gladys

Review update: fabulous app, I use it every day. I tried several iOS shelf apps, and this is the one I ended up using. Works great, friendly developer, regular updates.

The more devices you have, the more indispensable this app becomes. I love it.

Thank you very much!

Pinching out on a locked item will show that item rather than presenting a password prompt.

App is crashing on 16.0.2. Whenever you select and hold a copied item in the app clipboard a context menu pops up. When you select "copy" the app freezes on the context menu. Causes iOS to freeze for a few seconds update 12/20/22 The app functionality is back to normal again. I’m giving it 5 stars again. This app is so useful now that it works again

For someone that feels like Dory from Finding Nemo most days, Gladys is an indispensable part of my memory. Found something cool? It’s in Gladys. Saved that favorite gif? Gladys. Need a helper to truly multitask on phone or iPad? Gladys. Need to get something from one device to another but don’t trust Universal Copy? Gladys. I’ve tried all of the shelf apps, Gladys has been on my Home Screen and Share Sheet for a long time due to its consistent reliability, many apps don’t get my share or paste, Gladys always catches. I’ll be sad when this dev retires, but I’m grateful everyday that they made and released Gladys.

In iOS 16.0.2, so probably not related to copy paste bug.

Two updates ago they removed this functionality for no reason

When I first tried Gladys, I wasn't sure how well it would work because I’m using an iPhone which doesn’t have split screen, so I can’t utilize the drag and drop feature. However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this app has features to allow for links to be saved easily, even without drag and drop. This app has some great features. I only have a few suggestions to the developers on some things that can be improved: (1) I wish the keyboard search extension would be more accurate. I love that I can just search for a link based on tags and keywords and then I can share that link with someone else without leaving the messaging app. My only problem with this feature is its accuracy. A lot of the time, it did not find the tags that I had assigned to the links. Sometimes it would find only part of the tag. For example, if I gave a link the tag “happy dog”, Gladys would only find the link when I searched for the word “dog” but it gave me no results if I searched for “happy”. Also, the keyboard search extension would not pick up words that I had entered in the description of the link. If I was searching for links within the app, the search works excellent. It finds tags and even words in the description. (2) My next suggestion has to do with tags. When I try to assign tags to a link, it shows me the 3 recent tags that I’ve used at the top. This is helpful, but I feel that 3 tags are not enough if I’m trying to be specific and I have accumulated a lot of tags. I think there should be at least 5 recent tags displayed. This would make tagging quicker and more effective. (3) There is currently no option to organize by adding folders. I wish I could add folders within folders. Although the tagging feature in Gladys is great, folders provide a different type of organization. They would allow me to have broad topics, as well as sub-topics that fall within them. (4) When I save images in Gladys, these images are not displayed fully. They are cropped and faded. I have to press the “eye icon”, which enlarges the image and allows me to view the entire image instead of only part of it. Doing this takes a little extra time and the process can be made faster if we were able to preview the full image right away instead of having to press the “eye icon” in order to view it. If we wish to zoom in on the image to view a larger version of it, then we can press on the “eye icon”. (5) I like that Gladys allows users to group multiple of their saved links together and sha

I use this all the time and have 200+ entries. It’s getting a bit difficult to find occasionally used urls. It would be fantastic if I could put them into folders. I would pay for that option.
