This newest version hasn’t worked out well for me. I haven’t been able to use this app in months on 3 different devices. I absolutely loved the older version and I really enjoy the PC version (web based). I typically end up using the web interface on my phone and tablet because this is so unreliable.

The web page and the browser extension supports copy and paste, but the iOS function does not work on this app. That makes this app useless.
