Wat? ### 5/5 — Great pinboard app *2014-05-31, version 1.1* Fits right in on ios7! ### 5/5 — Beautiful and functional. *2014-04-30, version 1.1* This app has made using pinboard on iOS a pleasure. I love browsing the popular and trending bookmarks, it's easier and quicker then using the browser. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2014-02-03, version 1.1* Copying links from other apps just doesn't work and no other way to add bookmarks. Pretty essential functionality broken or missing. ### 3/5 — Not yet complete *2014-01-17* Uneasy to use, slow, and blinkling screen. Bad. Do not download yet. Seems not complete yet. ### 2/5 — Nice look but many missing features... *2014-01-12* My personal wishlist for this App: - Ability to push away the sidebar when in landscape browser moder - ability to search for my tags in the search field !! - abilty to search for date - easier tagging with autocompletion ### 2/5 — Needs ability to add bookmarks *2014-01-04* I really like the design of this app, and originally bought it to replace another Pinboard client. Unfortunately, it can't be a full replacement unless I can use it to add bookmarks to Pinboard. I’m disappointed that this app doesn’t include that basic feature, especially considering the price. ### 4/5 — Well designed and useful *2014-01-03, version 1.1* It's well designed especially on the iPad and using this app alongside RSS apps like Mr Reader and IFTTT makes bookmarking completely effortless. ### 3/5 — looking for multiple tag search *2014-01-03* Pretty slick UI, but it needs a way to select multiple tags to filter on (finding bookmarks having all selected tags). ## Frequently asked questions about Pincase ### What does Pincase do?
