No longer stays open in the back ground. Closes after ten minutes like all other apps (IOS rules). Update came a week after I bought, go figure. (Do not pay ten dollars for this app if you do, with it no longer remaining open indefinitely, you are seriously an.....) Get clips or clipboard or any other number of much better clipboard apps, now that evernotes built in webclipper (on mobile IOS- like the one on your phone right now that comes up as save to Evernote when you click the share button in the safari app) clips pages the same if not much better then this app. The only reason to get this is for copying links rapidly - a legit 50 percent of the time this benefit is negated in that the link does nothing when copied except get copied as a link. Sometimes will give you the website page though which is cool, but only half the time and even then content is missing in the layout where as if you use the built in one from the actual Evernote app you get the whole page beautifully. Honestly I like the app its pretty useful but obviously not worth it since it got nerfed (crippled). So if you havent bought it dont because even when it worked right 10 dollars was ridiculous. Whoever makes the app is a d bag IMHO for that price
