Paste Preview by WeTransfer Reviews

by Lindy725

Just purchased WeTransfer Pro and was excited to use Paste. Unfortunately it does not work at all. When trying to sign-in, it asks what team I want to use/join. When I select the team, nothing happens and there is no option to do anything else except exit, at which point I’m forced to sign-in again, and the viscous circle continues. I’ve also tested this on Chrome desktop and it does not work either, nor does the offered extension for Chrome. The only place I’ve gotten PastePreview to work so far is within the Safari desktop app. Please fix as some people have paid for premium services and thus expect the product in the very least to function properly. Right now this is unusable for iPad.

I’m not sure what purpose PastePreview serves if it can’t create presentations. Drafting ideas in Paper and importing them into Paste was a clear and obvious workflow. But if you’re sending users to the desktop anyway, why wouldn’t they use Keynote or PowerPoint or Slides instead?

After years of using Paste App and making it central to our team’s remote workflow, we were surprised to find the central functionality we rely on entirely removed from the platform without a word’s notice.

And to make it sound like you’re doing users a favor by making it “simpler and beautiful” is kind of a joke.

PastePreview is pretty decent, but I literally can’t do the main thing they advertise—I can’t copy and paste an image. Sure, I can export and import, but that’s two multi-step steps that cut-and-paste was created to avoid! What’s the point of PastePreview then? A pretty interface?

I can’t use PastePreview because every time I try to click into a board it crashes. I got a lovely developer response after my last comment about the bug, they gave me an email and told me to report the bug. Unfortunately the email went to an IT team from a different company who had no idea what I was talking about.

I am getting some of the strangest bugs repeatedly, and inconsistently. Trying to change the shape of photos, the layout of the slide, or the background color results in changing these things on OTHER slides, instead of the one I’m editing. Sometimes it changes slides ahead, sometimes slides behind. On other slides, it works as intended and edits the current slide.

I see a lot of potential in PastePreview, but unfortunately I can’t spend more than half of my time fighting with these bugs when I need to be producing content instead.

I wish you could write in PastePreview instead of having to transfer from another app. I love the idea of paste but having to switch apps a lot makes us a little iffy to use it.

2022 Update: I've left Paste (unsubscribed) for a much better alternative (Craft Notes app). Glad I did when I just saw this new update to disallow editing on Mobile! I use my iPad 99% of the time. What were you thinking, Paste Team? And you never gave us Search (across boards) feature, either. My suggestion? Check out the aforementioned fabulous app with mega-search, etc., etc. It's incredible!
Former reviews: Thanks for the beautiful and professional Unsplash photos! Very helpful to add inspiration to my boards. Previous: Thanks for the new fonts! I love how PastePreview beautifies my text and photos automatically with just the right background. Such a great way to create cards and boards for sharing with teams. I use it personally to organize my screenshots and other miscellaneous notes. Can’t wait for Search feature, which developers said (a long time ago) is forthcoming...

I absolutely know that ’Paste’ is not the same app as Paper 53, so there's no confusion there.

What I'm having a problem with, is I'm an artist and writer, and as much as I open Paste up...i don't know what I'm doing⁉️ I read all the reviews for the first time and it seems like it's used a lot by ’teams’-I’m assuming using storyboards for group ideas or advertising, etc.

Is there anyone or even support that can help me figure out what to do with my writing & art? Other then that I can drag photos to make a slide show...but I can do that on an iPhone anyway.

HELP..I want to utilize Paste for what it's been designed for, but I'm completely confused❓
Thank you

The automatic scaling usually works for me and I’m super in favor of the simple to use “decks” but I just wish it was as good as the online version.

It feels like the forgotten WeTransfer product right now as it’s still extremely limited compared to the online version. I would love to be able to choose where the main image should be through the layout options. I also wish It would look the same on iPad as it does on Mac but due to those limitations you never know what to expect and you can’t consistently share the deck with your team as not everyone sees the same layout.

Also some other things that I feel are necessary additions are the switching between teams in iOS app, and a generic account page.

Again, you did a lot of good things here, I just don’t want it to get lost in the pack.

Why don’t you support Sign In with Apple? Isn’t it required since you offer sign in with Slack and Google?

I love having this open on my iPad Pro 12.9. I just open Safari then Paste in split screen and I can Easily keep my thoughts organized just by dragging and dropping photos, text, limks, etc. So simple. I would like to see a more aesthetically pleasing Deck page. It deserves some love which would help streamline the process. But thank you for a great app!!

by Vera Aimée

I really enjoyed PastePreview, since this is exactly what I was searching for, and thankfully found.

Apart from few minor bugs, my only considerable suggestion/complain it is that it should be a way to visualise everything offline, since personally my main use is to past art and write about it as references, thus creating my own work.

An then sometimes it is just useless since very often I am in places where there is no connection to any internet at all, and I want to see and use PastePreview , it feels very frustrating; it would be very nice if you guys could find a way to make this possible.

But again, thank you very much for this application, it is perfect for I was aiming for!

Hope you guys can grow even more, rooting for y'all!

But, why does not allow you add your photos after a few times?

by Curiousyellow

When it works, I really love it. Problem is, it keeps signing me out, and when I try to sign in again it forces me to create a new account. Then I can't access the old account. On Safari I keep getting error messages.

Very frustrating.

Paste lets my team view a deck as a storyboard, rearrange slides, so my team tell a story in a snap.

It’s simple, web based, allows all modern file types, super beautiful automation giving my team a powerful space to build ideas into meaningful stories.

by Asallen

Paste had become a key part of my team’s collaborative workflow alongside Slack! There is nothing else that makes sharing and gathering feedback on work so fast and elegant.

by Careylea

I try - and buy a lot of apps. 100s every year. Especially ones geared towards photography journaling & marketing. I have found my soulmate. ❤️

by AyFiDesign

Great app to organize everything you find worth it online.
Great for customers/employees presentations.

by Ilovegreatfood

It’s so simple to create something great, but also quickly. You just drag and drop, that’s it! Best collaboration tool ever, and it’ll not be the one you spend the most time on, it disappears in your workflow, but certainly you can’t live without it.
