### 3/5 — Ease of Use

*2016-04-17*

Cannot move data stored on my iPad mini to my iPhone 6! Tried moving to cloud & down & using Dropbox-neither works!

### 2/5 — Date Issue

*2016-02-10*

App has lots of potential. Please fix the Date function. It doesn't save the inputted or click wheel date after hitting done.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2016-01-20, version 2.6*

Searched for a place and the app crashed

### 1/5 — One pin

*2015-12-30*

The purpose of the app is to pin places. Why provide a free version to determine if you want the full version if you are only able to pin one location? Try a trial with 3, 5 or 10. Or make it clear that the app only allows pinning one location unless you pay $3.

### 1/5 — Free Version Joke

*2015-12-18*

Can only pin one location in the free version.  Useless.

### 3/5 — Quasi perfetta

*2015-11-16, version 2.5*

L'app mi permette di fare proprio ciò che volevo: andrò in vacanza in Giappone e visiterò l'enorme città di Kyoto. Quest'app mi permette di gestire i POI di mio interesse a mio piacimento, per mezzo di utili pin che mi danno una panoramica su mappa delle cose che voglio visitare, aggiungendo foto e descrizioni a piacimento.

Manca solamente il supporto iCloud: mi piacerebbe vedere i pin da iPad a iPhone con sync diretto.

Bug: se non scrivo perfettamente l'indirizzo (sostanzialmente copiandolo da Maps e incollandolo nel campo di ricerca di quest'app) vengo di,andato sempre in mezzo al mare, a sud della costa Africana della Costa d'Avorio.

### 1/5 — Froze

*2015-10-25, version 2.4*

Keeps freezing since in app purchase

### 1/5 — Did not work for me

*2015-09-18*

This app seemed to work ok for the first 5 min but if you turn the iPad when taking a photo it closes the pin window. Also it keeps telling me in in Africa when I'm in Australia I want a refund.

### 3/5 — Please help! Great app but recent problem

*2015-05-19*

I had the same exact problem as the previous reviewer. I rely on this app for my job. I have multiple colors of pins and recently the red "standard" color pins have all been deleted. If this is fixed it will go back to being my most useful app for remembering locations and organizing them by the color of pins. Please fix the problem!

### 1/5 — A+ till app was updated

*2015-05-18*

I've spent last 8 months pinning all my accounts acrossed 2 states. I bought the version to have unlimited pins. Worked great! Yesterday there was an update and cleared every single pin I've made, account name, and a description I placed in it. 
Of course there's no English text to get ahold of any engineer to see how to get it all back!?!?

### 1/5 — Almost 700 pins Missing?

*2015-05-17, version 2.1*

Sure hope this is just a glitch. Too much time invested to have them all gone. 
 Any suggestions how to get them back?

### 3/5 — Please add the cost to upgrade

*2015-05-02, version 2.0*

I wanted an app to store places I had been. I tried about 5 and this one was the best. However in the trial you can only add one location and the upgrade dialog does not specify a price before asking for your Apple ID.

### 4/5 — Good start

*2015-02-14*

Nice, especially for the price, and easy to use. Need to add capability for multiple maps and determining distance between points.

### 3/5 — Great for price but wish more...

*2015-01-01*

I love this app as I use it for informational purposes at work. The multiple colors, labeling, easy to use mechanics are great. 
However, I wish there was a way to measure the distance between multiple pins or a designated area. I also wish we were able to save multiple maps or even start a new one without losing all the pre-existing pins/information. This would be great for the comparison of trends that are being documented by me for work.

### 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.

### 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!

### 1/5 — Search feature needs work

*2016-03-27*

I can't ever find the restaurant I want to pin properly.
And holding a spot to make a pin is not working either. Fix please.

### 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

### 5/5 — Fantastico per agenti di commercio!

*2016-02-22, version 2.6*

Utilissimo per mappare i clienti, suddividerli in categorie, fare annotazioni. Interfaccia completa e funzionale, davvero una figata! Complimenti allo sviluppatore! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

### 5/5 — Love the app - want more functionality

*2015-05-19*

We are anxiously hoping you will add the ability to import a file that has been exported from one user using Pin the World to another user. We have a need and desire to share pinned locations. Would you please consider adding the import capability. Thank you.

We love the app and hope to use it for additional purposes with added functionality.

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2014-06-20, version 1.8*

Would be even better if there was a way to share all of your pins with someone, instead of having to email each one separately.

### 5/5 — Good overall

*2013-08-02*

I use this app to pin place i need to remember at work but sometimes won't open until a few restart of the app- the only bad thing i founded but awesome overall

### 5/5 — Great app for travellers

*2013-04-22, version 1.1*

I really like this app. I can record all the places I have visited and record notes, dates and even add photos. Looking forward to additional functionality. There is a backup and restore function too. Easy to use. Would definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Есть просьба.

*2013-02-28, version 1.1*

Интересная, емкая программа. Спасибо!
Просьба:
Сделайте чтоб можно было загружать маршрут. Например кнопкой "download". 
Другими словами, - захотел, просто так посмотрел, захотел - сохранил маршрут в память.
Было бы удобно.

А так, все неплохо. Даже если маршрут проложен странным образом, все равно можно получить основные представления, или попутную интересную информацию.

### 4/5 — Good, but needs two things...

*2016-05-29, version 2.6*

Finally an app where I can drop multiple pins, but it needs two features. The ability to drag a previously dropped pin to a new location, and the ability to mass delete pins. Would be just about perfect with those two things.

### 4/5 — Pin The World

*2015-12-27*

Great app, but very seldom can I get past 40% GPS accuracy rate. I am traveling through Europe and have been able to pin every place with wifi, then move the pin to the correct location based on the satellite map (only maybe off by an inch or so). I like that I can change the color of the pins to categorize my locations (like lodging, restaurants, transportations, etc). And I like that I can add a picture to those locations and notes about the location. I only wish that when you tap the picture, it would open full-screen. I also would like to group my pins by each individual trip instead of making one trip of all pins. Other than that, this is the perfect travel app for me.

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2015-05-22, version 2.2*

This App does what it says on the tin! The full version is very helpful to plan my itinerary for my next trip. I like the fact that you can group pins into categories. That's the one I needed. The distance is only displayed in Kilometres though, it would be nice to have it in miles as well.
