No issues, i keep this app running on the background and its very easy to (multitask) swipe using Magic Keyboard between 2 apps to remove Format.

Finally a solution to get rid of the text formatting in IOS. Thank you to whoever developed this.

I needed the equivalent of Notepad for Windows, which cleans out all formatting. It did precisely that. I like appliances that are designed for one single purpose rather than Swiss Army Knives.

This is easily one of the most useful apps ever, the price can't be beat.

This has to be the simplest app I have ever used. Only one function but it is EXACTLY the function I need over and over again in my work day. Copy text in one app (usually a PDF), click PlainTextPaste and it strips the formatting and places the unformatted text on the clipboard. Shift over to the destination (in my case, usually MSoft Office) and paste. Perfect simplicity. Many thanks.

I’ve been looking for a quick and simple way to get rid of formatting for workflows that involve me copying and pasting text between apps on my iPhone. This does the job in a no-frills way. I’m giving 3 stars because there were no instructions or onboarding help to understand how the app works, which is a big omission because it took me a little while to figure it out. Developers: you did the work, the app works well, you’re charging for the app, put some extra work in helping customers understand what to do quickly and easily. Thank you for your work!

I think I can clear up some confusion here. When people say “there’s no menu” and “the app doesn’t do anything,“ they are partially correct. There AREN’T any menu options, which can be frustrating when you’re used to seeing something like “OK“ or “Cancel.” But that’s sort of the beauty and the “flaw“ of this app: It appears that it really doesn’t do anything, because it doesn’t require user intervention. In that sense, it’s an unusual app because it doesn’t work the way most other apps do. So what does it do? You copy some text from another app, maybe text that has stuff like web addresses or text formatting, or whatever, and all you want is the Plain Text to paste into a different app, but without all the other “crap“ loaded up and altering the text. You only want the words, not the font color or the directions to the address that’s embedded into whatever you’re trying to copy. Step 1: copy text that includes formatting that you want to get rid of. Step 2: run Plain Text Paste. DO NOTHING ELSE WITHIN THE APP! DO NOT LOOK FOR BUTTONS TO PRESS! DO NOT SCROLL! DO NOT POKE ABOUT! Simply run the app. Step 3: go to the other app in which you want to paste the text (but without all the formatting), tap the screen and choose Paste. The end. The “problem“ with this app is not that it doesn’t do anything, it’s that what it does, it does so well, that most people don’t realize what it’s actually doing. There are plenty of other text apps that will do exactly what this app does, and for free, but then you would have to paste the text within the app, choose Select All, and then choose Copy. This app reduces the other extra steps. In fact, it removes ALL steps except simply running the app. if you have text on the clipboard that you want to get rid of to “start over,“ you’ll have to go back to the original text and re-copy it. There’s no “flush clipboard“ option, and maybe there should be. Kudos to the developer for this app, but please update the instructions.

This app solves a persistent problem which I share with the other users: how to get rid of formatting designed for another purpose when I just need the text. It does the job! Thanks!

A tool that does exactly what I need, without it I couldn’t use my iPad for specific tasks which means giving up the small form factor and LTE access from anywhere. A real lifesaver for me.

Text still pastes with format and my emails still look crazy on a desktop. Waste of money.
