Yoink for iPad and iPhone's App Icon

Today, Yoink for iPad and iPhone is 3 years old đŸ„ł. Time surely flies when you have
 bugs to fix.

It certainly doesn’t feel like three years. It feels like only yesterday, to be honest.
On the other hand, the release process, yes, that felt like it took three years, because I was eager to release alongside iOS 11 (which, due to its drag and drop capabilities, made Yoink for iOS possible in the first place), but there were some serious delays with App Review, who rejected the app multiple times because of its keyboard extension, and later, its File Provider (while other, similar keyboard/FP extensions were apparently perfectly fine and allowed on the App Store. This is my single biggest gripe with App Review – the inconsistencies in rejections. It’s obvious why these things happen, and it’s understandable, but it’s frustrating nonetheless).

But all that’s in the past. Yoink for iOS has been out there for three years now, and it has been doing great – thanks to all of you who use it, leave ratings, reviews or send feedback.
It’s been featured on the App Store on numerous occasions – here are a few examples:

Yoink iOS App Store Feature  17 09 2020 14 39 25

Yoink iOS iPhone App Store US Feature  07 12 2017 13 06 01

So thank you all for three amazing years. Let’s hope for many, many more đŸ€—

P.S.: Keep an eye out on my social channels (twitter | facebook | linkedin), as I’ll be posting a few promo codes there!

These also apply if you’ve already used the demo version before.

Earlier today, I released Yoink 3.4 for Mac with supposed “PopClip by Pilotmoon Software” Integration.
Only that it doesn’t work, because I screwed up. My sincere apologies, it worked in testing but I managed to remove it from my Mac App Store submission by mistake, so the button does effectively nothing.

So, here’s how to fix it:
Instead of using Yoink’s “Install PopClip Extension” button in Yoink’s preferences (which is, on top of everything, badly aligned – because it’s just that kind of day for me), download the extension below and double-click it. If you have PopClip by Pilotmoon Software installed, it’ll do the right thing and ask you if you’d like to install it.

 – Download Yoink’s PopClip Extension – (then double-click in Finder)
(A logout/login or restart of your Mac might be necessary for macOS to recognize Yoink’s new system service)

Again, my apologies, this wasn’t how I wanted this to go 😉

I hope you enjoy Yoink besides this little hiccup, you can be sure it’ll be fixed with the next update!

Hi, all.

Yoink 3 is around the corner, currently in the depths of Apple’s review team, waiting to get its bare bits and bytes dissected and inspected.

In the meantime, I’d like to share what’s new about this version.

Screenshots

Yoink 3

The very first thing you’ll notice about Yoink 3 is its fresh, new interface that fits in perfectly with OS X Yosemite.
My graphics designer Alexander KĂ€ĂŸner has done a wonderful job on rejuvenating almost every icon throughout the app – including the App Icon:

One more screenshot of the app in action, showing off the new buttons to interact with Yoink:

Functionality

Yoink 3 will be out soon and when it is released, I will share more about its new functionality and improvements.

You can download a free, 15-day trial of Yoink v2.5.2 from my website (the trial time will be reset for version 3) and purchase Yoink 2.5.2 on the Mac App Store (version 3 will be a free upgrade to existing users).

 Enjoy 🙂
