• Installed this and it wouldn't work. Kept freezing.

  Gemini1943February 18, 2013

  Pros

  None that I could see at all!

  Cons

  It just froze. Couldn't get the toolbars at the top to work and once it was on screen, I couldn't get rid of it. I couldn't exit the thing and had to use the Task Manager to get rid in the end. I tried everything and at the finish got fed up and uninstalled it. I have now installed an old version (4) which is just fine. No frills, but that's what I wanted anyway.

• A reliable, solid product for my purposes.

  Bobs415February 10, 2013

  Pros

  Reliable, easy to use, steady.

  Cons

  I cannot think of any "cons" for this product. It is easy to use, easy to set up, figure out, etc.

  Summary

  I use this app for storing stock answers to the various Q+A forums in which I participate. It's a handy tool that I've been using for more than five years now. When my computer was recently serviced by the Geek Squad at Best Buy, they (carelessly) removed this app from my laptop. I was able to download another copy, and surprisingly, my files had been saved on my computer! This is a program I'll always keep. (I am a casual user, email, shopping, finances, Twitter, news, reading, and forums like Yahoo Answers.)

• It's great!

  Bobs415November 14, 2011

  Pros

  IF you have a need for storing phrases and words you use often, then this program is excellent; easy to learn, easy to use. I frequently join various forums and found that my responses to the same questions, were the same answers! So, I store those pat answers in my Clipboard program to facilitate this particular use.

  Cons

  Can't think !of any cons

  Summary

  I'd download it again, and I honestly recommend it to you.

• Works, but not very useful

  camcam9November 10, 2010

  Pros

  Lets you copy several different things to the clipboard at once Visual interface to see what you have on the clipboard Ability to save your current settings

  Cons

  Loaded an older version of file, despite saving over it. Graphical interface shows tool tip to show what clip will be copied, but then it obscures your ability to see clip listing. Click on selections didn't save time over copy from notepad instead

  Summary

  Works, but didn't save much time. Drove me a little crazy over the month I used it. Ended up getting a different tool.

• Great little program

  alfredfreitasJanuary 23, 2010

  Pros

  Great help where you need to enter multiple data items over and over. Allows me to create files to hold sets of data. Has saved me hours of repetitive typing. Works great with Win7. The price is unbeatable. Been using for over 30 days, no problems.

  Cons

  Nothing to note. Saving images would be nice.

  Summary

  I have used other paid clipboard extenders and although they offered more features they did not out perform this little gem. This program does one thing but it does it exceedingly well. It allowed me to create several files of data sets so that I did not have to re-type repetitive information, just "click" on the item in clipboard list and use "ctrl-v" to insert it in the form I was using. The program gave me many options for saving, recalling lists of saved clips, appending them, and was easy to correct or modify lists. A nice feature is the ability to re-size the window to show fewer or more saved clips. When I was not using Clip Board Magic it sat nicely in the tray and still captured all my data saves. This was a nicely behaved program. Not once did it get "buggy" or fail to perform nor did it conflict with and other program in memory. One feature not available in this program is the ability to "double click" on an item in the clipboard list and have the item inserted in the text automatically. Had that feature been included, I would have given this program a full 5 stars. All in all, I give this program 4 1/2 stars.

• It was OK at first, but doesn't work now

  rj.amdphreakDecember 3, 2008

  Pros

  It can hold multiple entries from the clipboard (the last 25 text entries)

  Cons

  It cannot handle pictures or screenshots. It stopped working after around 20 seconds.

  Summary

  EDIT: it SUCKS ORIGINAL: It is good if you need to hold short term data backup copies. I use this for Youtube where my posts often get screwed up and never make it to the server. In fact, I should have used it just now for my review on this page, because the stupid download.com didn't successfully upload my review...but I didn't use it, so now I had to rewrite my review. I'm going to use it this time to make sure I don't have to retype this crap. yeesh

• Its ok, good for my needs

  bindkkillSeptember 15, 2008

  Pros

  Fast, simple, easy to use

  Cons

  Cannot handle images, kept getting "list index out of bounds" error when dragging items

  Summary

  The reason I still use this is because even though other clipboard managers have more features, this one is still the fastest and less annoying than the others.. it's very straight forward. Just select an item and paste where you want. It doesn't automatically paste but instead loads it into your clipboard cache which for me is better. I also work only with text so I don't mind the limitation. To me this just works the best for my particular needs.

• Text only and no direct paste back

  ArtthesmithAugust 10, 2005

  Pros

  Costs what its worth

  Cons

  1. It only does text <p> <p>2. To paste, you have to use a drop down menu, find copy to clipboard, then use Ctrl+V
