Sometimes you want to copy text from app or image and can’t use default long press on Android?
Universal Copy eliminates that pain!
In any application, activate the Universal Copy mode and select the text you want to copy, that’s it!
Copy text from any app: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Tumblr, News Republic, Snapchat…
With Scanner mode you can even copy text (Latin characters only) from images, documents or any application where the developer has blocked normal mode (facebook lite…).
Easy. Simple. Super fast.
Universal Copy lets you copy text without needing to use the long press action.
