Trying to export your saved locations is a major hassle, I urge you to look elsewhere. App deleted. I'll be requesting a refund too. ### 2/5 — iCloud backup provisions? *2025-07-22, version 8.4* I have loved this app for several years. Thousands of pins saved from jobs done to travel locations to best restaurants along with notes and photos on practically all of them. I recently started having problems with my iphone which was backed up to iCloud every night. Once I restored my new phone from iCloud, I noticed that there was no provisions in either the pinbox app to restore from a backup, nor does the iCloud settings show the app as linkable to iCloud. In FAQ: “How do I backup my Pinbox data? Your Pinbox data is automatically backed up whenever you backup your iOS device to iCloud or to your computer (through iTunes). If your device were to ever get lost or broken, your Pinbox data would be available on your new device as long as you set up your new device by restoring from backup.” I’ve sent two emails to the Developer with no reply yet. Will update this review once they reply. Summary, the app is great, but hopefully we get this backup situation worked out, I would hate to lose at least 10 years worth of diligent notetaking. ### 4/5 — Bom *2025-04-10* O aplicativo é bom, mas poderia ter opção de visualizar mais de uma categoria salva. Opção de filtro por ordem alfabética e opção de filtro por distância ### 4/5 — Renaming Maps *2025-02-21, version 8.4* Hello! I love this app!! However, I have one suggestion: Please include in a future update the ability to rename individual maps. You can rename the pins, but you can’t rename the maps. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Nice simple app, missing 1 feature *2023-10-30, version 8.2* It’s a nice simple map pinning app. I like that there’s no social media requirement to it. I would like, however, to be able to search my notes, say for all the Indian restaurants I’ve marked or all the apartments I visited on whatever date I’ve noted. ### 5/5 — Best app ever!!! *2023-03-21, version 8.2* Use this to plan my sales day, plan for vacations, and see a bunch of addresses at one time. ### 5/5 — Still awesome after many years *2023-03-09* I’ve been using this app for many years and can’t believe I haven’t added a review. This has been the most helpful app to pinning multiple locations in a city especially if you are a route driver. I would love to see maybe an update to be able to copy holding over the location of an address as opposed to having to text message and copy from there, sometimes all I need is the address and not everything else. ### 5/5 — Superior - Unparalleled - Best World Travel App *2022-09-29, version 8.2* I have used this in the US and Europe. It’s incredibly easy and very accurate. Mark the items you want to see, open the app, and find your way. I like to color code - restaurants, top sites, second-maybe-see sites, etc. More than once I’ve looked at this site and found that I was super close to a point of interest and didn’t even realize it! I’ve recommended this to many other happy travelers. I know that Google Maps is popular but this is far far better. ### 5/5 — My favourite app *2022-05-26, version 8.2* I totally love this app, easy to use, straight forward, just brilliant! ### 5/5 — Great layout helper *2021-12-28, version 8.2* I’ve been using Pinbox for several years, whenever I have 3 or more errands to run. It gives me a great visual layout, so I make a loop of my errands and never need to backtrack. Dedicating different maps according to area or theme (eg restaurants) is another great feature. I totally recommend this app. More features would be helpful to minimize numbers of taps, such as swipe to delete a pin, a preset default for choosing Apple vs Google maps when requesting directions, things like that! ### 4/5 — Remove Pin Limit *2021-10-10, version 8.2* I love this app but the 400 limit per map and 2,500 total limit is a real setback and will ultimately be the reason I move to a different app should these numbers not increase. Also, the map isn’t touch friendly like iPhone map is. If I touch an information pin on iPhone map it tells me what that location is. I can’t do that or search addresses on this. Love the app overall though. ### 5/5 — Good to go *2021-06-30, version 8.2* The best app ### 5/5 — Pinbox *2021-05-15, version 8.2* This productivity app is one you don’t want to be without. It serves an exactly purpose and it performs well. Exactly what I needed. Shame on big tech for missing the ball where this gem shines. ### 4/5 — Needs Two Things *2021-04-27, version 8.2* Best app I’ve found to plan travel. But it really does need an iPad version. Second thing is that it needs syncing between devices. Some other minor UI updates wouldn’t hurt. It does have a great search engine. It had found every location I’ve looked for. Although, China Beach on BC is not in the US. Planning a trip to Vancouver Island when it’s safe to travel. I’m pinning parks in on one color, dining in a second, and POIs in a third. Great for planning and execution. ### 5/5 — Long time customer *2021-03-22, version 8.2* Love it. Makes family vacations easy and protects our privacy so we do not need to give our vacation plans to Google ### 5/5 — iPad version anytime? *2021-03-03, version 8.2* This is an awesome app! I love how practical and useful it is!!! But I would love to see it be usable on iPad. It makes a great app for projects and iPads are used a lot in projects. Thanks ### 4/5 — View *2020-09-16, version 8.1* Why can’t you update the app so that I can also have landscape view rather than just be able to see the map one way ??? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — View *2025-03-05, version 8.4* Why can’t you update the app so that I can also have landscape view rather than just be able to see the map one way ??? Also posting inaccurate names, it’s and it will always be the Gulf of MEXICO ### 1/5 — Pointless App *2023-11-29, version 8.2* Pointless app for pointless people ### 1/5 — No Filtering?? *2023-04-08, version 8.2* Is there seriously no filtering by pin color? What is the point. A surprising lack of features and is merely an app where you can place pins and not organize them in any meaningful way. ### 1/5 — Not good enough *2020-03-02, version 8.1* I can’t drop a pin on my current location ### 1/5 — So what happens *2019-11-13, version 8.1* When you get a new phone? Lose all that input? ### 1/5 — Horrible navigation *2019-08-28, version 8.1* I could find the way to send a pin in seconds. Spent over 15 minutes trying to find map details to share a map. ### 1/5 — Not For Serious Users *2019-05-04, version 8.0* This appears to be an app for small scale personal use. The limitation on number of pins to 400 per map and the lack of ability to import a file of contacts are show-stoppers for anyone with a business or existing large scale contact list. Too bad I learned this after buying ......... limits really should be clear in app description. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well with iPad *2019-02-19, version 8.0* I checked specs before purchasing and says iPad compatible, but does not rotate for iPad. Very challenging to use on iPad, which is primarily how I would use it, because doesn’t rotate ### 1/5 — Limited to a mere 400 pins *2018-07-14, version 8.0* A useless app due the developer ‘s imposed limit of 400 pins to a map. I quickly maxed out and can no longer use the app. Don’t waste your time with this app if you travel quite a bit ### 1/5 — Actual Garbage *2018-06-15, version 8.0* Worthless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Superior - Unparalleled - Best World Travel App *2025-07-24, version 8.4* I have used this in the US and Europe. It’s incredibly easy and very accurate. Mark the items you want to see, open the app, and find your way. I like to color code - restaurants, top sites, second-maybe-see sites, etc. More than once I’ve looked at this site and found that I was super close to a point of interest and didn’t even realize it! I’ve recommended this to many other happy travelers. I know that Google Maps is popular but this is far far better. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-01-08, version 8.4* This is an incredible app. I use it to keep track of accounts that I visit for my job please please please please please add the ability to import pins from a csv. ### 5/5 — Colors! *2024-11-09, version 8.4* Incredible app - More colors please! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-11-07, version 8.4* Love it ### 5/5 — Still great after all these years *2024-10-29, version 8.4* Perfectly simple. Simply perfect. ### 5/5 — Nein, geht überall *2024-08-13, version 8.4* Standorte für später speichern und die dann in einer Liste haben, einfache Funktion die ich brauchte, mehr nicht. Mehr soll es auch nicht - perfekt für mich. ### 5/5 — Simple and helpful *2024-05-27, version 8.4* I’ve had this app for years. At least 6. I do a fair share of traveling and I mark every point of interest. Visiting family out of town is an easy example, we do this regularly. I mark every restaurant we go to with pictures. Makes finding them again super easy. Plus it’s just cool to see the places I’ve been. There’s not a lot to it which is actually nice. It’s easy to use. ### 5/5 — I use it for work!!!! *2024-01-01, version 8.2* LOOOOOVE THIS APP. I originally downloaded it as a tool to help with my family’s cross country relocation, and Disney!! I out it on the shelf for a couple years, and then had to dust it off when I got a job that requires me to travel to people’s homes throughout the county! It helps me plan my day, to see where I am in relation to each stop/the office/hospitals/gas stations with the best prices, etc…!!! 🫶🏾 ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2023-12-11, version 8.2* Wish the pins limit be 5000 or more for all maps together Phones are much powerful and can take it now… Best app for the task! Using it everyday! ### 5/5 — Just what I need *2023-04-29, version 8.2* I’ve been searching for over an hour for the perfect app and finally found this one. It’s just what I need. Thank you! One suggestion- please, please add more color options for the pins! I would love about 15 different colors. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
