### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-02-05*

Took a bit to get the app figured out but not overly difficult. The tutorial or help section was not helpful at all. Not free. Only allows 5! Pins in free version then wants to charge you $2.99. Should be up front with pricing instead of deceiving people. What good is 5 pins? More of a trial version to see if you like it and want to buy it than a free version with ads. Deleted the app.

### 5/5 — Have used it for ages - very helpful

*2023-06-24*

I’ve used this for many years and could not do my work without it. Very simple and easy to use. Can also have different color pins

### 1/5 — pin limitati

*2018-06-21, version 2.8*

peccato, l’app mi piace molto ma i pin inseribili arrivano ad un massimo poi l’app va in blocco. 
La prima versione lavora ancora bene

### 1/5 — Pin the world

*2018-06-13, version 2.8*

Rubbish unless you just want to see a map it does not work stop acting my time good bye.

### 1/5 — Ridicule!

*2018-03-21, version 2.8*

Ça ne vaut pas la peine de le prendre quand c’est « gratuit » et que tu ne peux y mettre une seule « pin »... une fois positionné, tu veux en mettre un 2è et là, 3,99$!!! De la merde (...)

### 1/5 — Crap

*2017-05-28, version 2.8*

Paid to have the additional pins allowed as free version only allows one pin. It doesn't work at all. Satellites never connect. Sad but I lost $$ to this joke of an app

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2017-03-16*

Can't drop more than 1 pin before being promoted to buy it. I dropped a pin in a city in Utah and ended up pinning it in Africa! Really?! Clearly kinks to work out. You can't expect people to consider buying an app if you can't even try it out.

### 1/5 — Only one pin available in free version

*2017-01-27, version 2.6*

Useless if you go to more than one place

### 1/5 — Useless without a search function

*2016-08-04, version 2.6*

The minute you click on search, the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Too expensive!

*2016-06-28*

$4.49 is an excessive amount for what is essentially google maps (which I can get for free) with pins. It is way too much money for what this app does. It only lets you use one pin before you need to pay! I won't pay that much for a ridiculously overpriced app!
