Changes make me sad

This app worked so well for me last year when I joined after another map app ruined itself. I hope it’s just a bug but I am no longer able to click on the name of a location and add it to my pins. If I try, it lists itself as just the address and expects me to know what it’s called and enter my own title for it, which doesn’t work especially when I’m adding somewhere I’ve never been and want to visit. I have to do a lot of extra work looking up the proper name and address elsewhere, which has basically rendered this app useless to me, or at least very hard to use.

Can’t edit my tags

In version 6.0.7 on iPhone, I can create new tags with icons, but I can't edit existing tags to change their icon or delete unused tags. Older documentation suggests this should be possible. Is this feature planned to return?

The devs need to put more work into this app. Issues: (1) every time you load the app you have to go to preferences to deselect points of interest otherwise your maps is filled with so many places you can’t see your pins (so is useless), it will not save your deselected preference (2) you have to restart app very often because of UI issues, like half the time clicks are unresponsive (3) the app doesn’t save your information like pins, changes, photos about 60% of time, I’ve seen it save for one second, only for it to revert as if it hadn’t saved the info (4) when you delete a pin the app freezes so you have to restart (5) search functionality is garbage and will populate completely irrelevant responses far from you.

Hi there, not sure you're reviewing our app as we don't suggest places. If you could email us screenshots of what you're seeing to hello@pindropapp.com it would be very helpful.

Not user friendly anymore

I hate the update that changed the layout of everything.

this app was ruined

i’ve been using this app for 2 years. i love this app. the new updates have made it unusable. it is incredibly glitchy, doesn’t allow me to search and add new pins, and doesn’t show tags. i will delete this app if it is not fixed. it’s UNUSABLE compared to what it used to be. extremely frustrating and upsetting.

Lots of errors.

Very organized but give me so many errors while using it, it frustrates me.

some bugs fixed but still annoying to use now

it’s super annoying that the names of the places i’ve pinned don’t appear unless i zoom in super close & the app stalls or crashes a lot. and they’re charging a subscription now?? not worth it in my opinion

Great but needs help

Won’t let me delete pins

Expérience utilisateur en chute libre

Malheureusement cette nouvelle version de l’application qui avait pour but de moderniser son interface n’est pas du tout au point.

Les filtre fonctionnent mal et ne s’affichent pas ou très mal sur les cartes, certaines préférences sélectionnées ne s’appliquent pas, comme la taille des pins ou le masquage des points d’intérêt, etc.
Les thèmes de cartes ont disparus avec la dernière mise à jour !
Les nouveaux tags ne se synchronisent pas entre les appareils.

Sur iPad, l’interface est dysfonctionnelle dans les modes multi-fenêtres…

L’intégration de l’interface transparente d’iOS rend certains boutons difficilement lisibles.

Bref c’est une véritable catastrophe sous ios 26 qui rend l’application inutilisable.

very practical

A nice app to save your favourite spots/locations. Useful for travelling or visiting a city. It's a great free alternative to Mapstr with unlimited saved locations. ui was recently improved so all is good
5/5+ great team

Thanks for the lovely review. Hopefully the latest update solves the improvements (hopefully!) Thanks again for the 5 stars :)

Update is Horrible

I used to love this app so much and the new update makes it unusable. Please please change it back or I’m deleting it and it looks like everyone feels this way, according to recent reviews.

Used to be great, update made worse

I used to love this app and have created pins for all kinds of restaurants and other places I want to visit — sometimes on short notice (what’s good to eat near where I am?). But the latest update has made it much much harder to use. Pins are bundled until you zoom so far in you can’t get a sense of all the pins in your general area. Really disappointing.

new update is terrible

can’t change the size of the icons, the names of the places i’ve pinned don’t appear when i zoom in, i have to click on each individual one, new update reset all my settings, and it’s not user friendly to me anymore

Dumb update

Not sure when they changed it. But now it makes it so much harder to use the map feature.
It was nearly perfect. Now it’s a big pain.

Mise à jour horrible

La mise à jour est horrible. Les listes sont difficiles à trouver à chaque fois, mes pins sont perdues, elles ne sont plus catégorisées, certaines le sont certaines non, quand c’est écrit dans une liste qu’il y a 2 pins on ouvre la liste et rien. Mise en page catastrophique.

What happened?

Found this app recently and was thrilled and then they updated the app and was so disappointed! If it ain’t broken leave it alone!

New update

The new update is terrible. I can’t even use this app anymore. Try emailing them to get a resolution and then crickets after a few back-and-forth emails. There’s app seems to change every 2 to 3 years and there’s always a problem with it.

Migration KO

Suite à mise à jour et migration de l’app toutes mes données ont disparu !!! Ce n’est pas sérieux

Response from developer

Your data is still there. Could you please email hello@pindropapp.com so we can get you up and running.

I once loved this app.

There has been an app update. I now hate how you navigate through the options.

I have had tons of old deleted pin drops now back on my profile. Also tons of made up ones too that I had to delete which took over 2hrs.

WHY HAVE YOU RUINED THE APP?

Response from developer

Hi DJ LIGHTA. Could you drop an email to hello@pindropapp.com so we can get to the bottom of what's going on and get it fixed for you as this should not be happening.
