Wat? ### 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). ### 3/5 — Great app; shows rating dialog *2013-12-29* This is a fantastic app. Unfortunately, it shows those infuriating ‘rate this app’ dialog boxes, so I’ve removed two stars from an otherwise five-star review. ### 3/5 — Ok *2013-12-28* Good, but adding tags seems buggy and difficult on my iPad. The window moves around and I can't simply type in a tag word--I have to scroll and pick each term. ### 3/5 — Pretty but very buggy *2013-12-14* The keyboard disappears during log in. Would be a very good app if some of the bugs were fixed. ### 4/5 — Functional + beautiful = Pincase *2013-12-10, version 1.1* I read the other reviews and hesitated before buying but whatever the previous issues, they're ironed out. It works. It's so blooming beautiful. Is it the best Pinboard client on the App Store? My money, all £2.49, says yes, yes, yes. ### 4/5 — Best Pinboard client *2013-12-07* The support for x-callback-url is immensely helpful. Adding bookmarks via URL scheme from other apps is extremely fast. ### 4/5 — Opening page *2013-12-04* Good app in general, what i don't understand is: why is there an option in the main page to choose between my links and Discover? It should go directly to the links, then if the user wants, he could swipe to the left to discover. My links is the main feed, should be displayed as soon as the user open the app. Aside from that, good app with a very nice design. Thanks ### 4/5 — Great looking app, very useful *2013-12-04, version 1.1* Read a review that said this is the best visual app in iOS 7 style for pinboard. I am new to Pinboard so still getting used it using this as my new bookmark ecosystem. Really hope to see iCab Mobile option as a supported browser in the future, and more features in general. There is some blank space when u first open the app, it would be nice if they took advantage of that as a way to access tags and search without so many clicks. I also installed an OSX app called Delish, which has a cool screenshot feature. Would love to see similar feature in Pincase, as long as screenshots don't take up too much storage space, as I have 16gb Air. ### 4/5 — Looks great, but buggy, and slow *2013-11-28, version 1.1* This app is beautiful. The UI is well designed and there are a ton of options. So what's the issue? Bugs, especially on the iPad. I stopped using it on the iPad as this release is just isn't enjoyable for me. The iPhone version seems to work much better. Once the bugs are fixes, I'm sure this will be a world class app, but for now this app shows signs of immaturity. ### 4/5 — Solid Pinboard client *2013-11-17* I've been using this app for a few weeks now and I'm happy I purchased it; it does everything I need it to do – search & manage my bookmarks, check out links I'd saved to read later and edit tags. My only gripe: I wish the UI had a bit more polish; everything feels too small, even when the text is set to the largest setting. ### 3/5 — Landscape?!! *2013-11-13* Why in the world is there no landscape support on the iPhone?! Please fix this oversight. ### 3/5 — Nice UI ... *2013-11-12* ... But not much beyond. ### 3/5 — Doesn't sync properly *2013-11-03, version 1.1* I've deleted a few bookmark marked as unread in safari a few hours ago but they are still in showing in the pincase app.. Even after a manual sync. Rubbish. I guess pinboard is just too difficult for any app developer to work with as almost all the apps can't do basic sync consistently. Maybe Pinbook. ### 4/5 — Good one *2013-10-23* Not bad but a little awkward when editing tags Excellent idea with auto bookmarking. ### 4/5 — Pretty and functional *2013-10-22* I really like this Pinboard app. Most (if not all) of the grammatical errors that everyone was complaining about seem to have been corrected. The design is very minimal and clean. I have well over 1000 bookmarks and hundreds of tags; the app synced them all pretty quickly. The bookmarklet is handy and worked in both Chrome and Safari. My only gripe: I'd like to have a little "+" button to manually add a bookmark. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Gruber's revenge *2013-12-19, version 1.1* Stop using iRate. ### 1/5 — The Grüber made me do it *2013-12-07, version 1.1* One * for the bugging reminder to rate. ### 1/5 — Good UI but doesn't sync bookmarks *2013-11-05, version 1.1* Pretty UI and could be a great app but sadly the syncing of bookmarks never works leaving you with an empty app ### 1/5 — Add a Bookmark *2013-10-17* I'm disappointed. No way to add bookmarks, at first I thought I don't know how so, I went to their website and saw that you can only add bookmarks with bookmarklet. ### 1/5 — One star and it doesn't deserve that *2013-10-14, version 1.1* Wasted the money on this app and also the fee for the service. Link to money back instructions is designed to confuse and make you give up, also email to service provider got message 'are you writing to the right person'. You have been warned don't waste your money ### 1/5 — Can't login *2013-10-12* Fix it ASAP ### 1/5 — Can't log in *2013-10-11* Still can't log in after the latest update. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2013-10-04, version 1.0.1* Very pretty, but: * can't scroll to view entire search output * regularly nags you to open the app. * some English seems to have grammar or syntax errors * font size is too small to read. * generally seems to need refinement ### 1/5 — Cannot log in *2013-09-30, version 1.0.0* "Login failed" error despite my username and password working fine in another iOS Pinboard app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Close to perfect *2013-12-24, version 1.1* I love the bulk editing and simple reading and searching. Would be great to see more explanation of what some icons do for the novice and tag suggestions when editing. ### 5/5 — Nice *2013-11-15* Schönste Pinboard App für iOS 7! Noch ein paar Funktionen mehr bitte. Nachtrag: Top Updates bisher! ### 5/5 — Great for bulk edits!!! *2013-10-21, version 1.1* I am still looking for the perfect Pinboard client and Pin Case is coming pretty close. Love the look and ease of use. Lots of customization too. Nothing else, including any desktop or ios or even the Pinboard site can bulk edit tags as easily as Pin Case. A few suggestions: -keep the Edit toolbar visible all the time rather than having it disappearing and reappearing all the time. It is rather confusing especially when looking at tags with fewer than 3 bookmarks as the toolbar just does not appear unless you try to scroll the list. Multiple Tags search: a drill down approach would be great(scrolling through entire list of hundreds of tags is painful!). Would be great to be able to save the multiple Tags search too(as in Delitouch) Allow the renaming of Tags in one operation: at present, one has to search for the tags, list all the bookmarks, find the edit bar to click edit, selection, select all, tag, add tag, inputting the new tag, add, done, save, then do all that all over again to delete the old Tag! This is essential what one has to do on the Pinboard site so I would imagine this maybe limited by the API but maybe PinCase can include a macro to do all that? Just select a Tag, and let the device do all the hard work would be absolutely AWESOME! Bundle view and management would also be very helpful. All in all a great app and definitely worth the price and hope to see more features to be included soon! ### 5/5 — Excellent Pinboard interface *2013-10-17* Easy to use, fast, good looking. And the developers have been quick to respond to bug reports. ### 5/5 — Great Pinboard app! *2013-10-16* Works well and full of features. The background bookmarking is fantastic! ### 5/5 — Excellent pinboard.in client *2013-10-16, version 1.1* A great feeling app. Fits right in with iOS 7. ### 5/5 — Awesome Pinboard Client *2013-10-15, version 1.1* This is the best Pinboard client in the App Store. Great design for iOS 7 and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-10-13, version 1.1* It's a great app with lots of potential, receiving lots of updates with great new features too. Basically this finally gives me a professional native iOS experience for Pinboard. Streamlining my bookmarking workflow. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
