No longer works properly. Seems abandoned

I was a big fan of this app but lately whenever I try and use it from the share menu I get an error. It also occasionally fails to load my bookmarks. The last update seems to have been 6 years ago so I guess this has been abandoned.

Needs updates, no longer works

This was previously the perfect app but it’s not kept up with updates. At this point it is non-functional, I am unable to see my pins or create any new ones. It’s sad as I have loved this app for years. I hope it sees some maintenance, it was previously excellent.

Save to Pinner from share sheet broken

This used to be an excellent tool for saving bookmarks to Pinboard, but increasingly its features stopped working. Now, however, it can’t even save from the share sheet anymore, complaining that there is “no URL found” when trying to save a webpage to Pinner. A bummer.

Abandonware?

This app used to be great, but sadly it seems the developer has abandoned it. It hasn't been updated in years, and now, in iOS 17, I get an error that says, "Could not save. No URL found." Yet, another Pinboard app (which I don't like as much) has NO problem saving the very same pages.

Currently, this app is unusable, as it no longer performs basic functions.

Great design but website titles not fetched

I love the app, and I feel like only recently I’ve experienced the following bug. For whatever reason, if you save a website to Pinner from the share sheet, the web page title isn’t fetched. The app also used to prompt me to input my tags and add my own description, but it doesn’t seem to do that anymore (though this might be a setting error). I find myself using my Pinboard favorites bookmark more often because it works better. I hope they fix these issues.

Disappointingly slow to add via sharing.

Takes up to a minute to save a URL. Not worth the time. Too bad, it used to be much faster. Probably not the devs’ fault, but I am back to bookmarklets and shortcuts.

Used to be good

Unfortunately it looks like the developer has abandoned this app. On the current iOS version you can't tag new bookmarks and there's a glitch where it constantly says shows that "pasting from X" popup when you're in the app.

Has been a great app but no longer seems to work properly. Look elsewhere for your pinboard needs

Crashes in iOS 14 - please update

I love and rely in this app to post URLs to Pinboard. It’s well designed and intuitive.

Unfortunately, as of updating to iOS 14, the program crashes on entry and appears to be abandoned.

Please recompile and re-release the app if at all possible. It’s a winner!

Broken for Months

This once useful app has either been abandoned or otherwise isn’t maintained with previous quality. Look for something else.

Kind of buggy

What would otherwise be a great app has lots of bugs. Inconsistent quick-add feature, only pulls in the right title half the time, sometimes fails to sync to pinboard. Don’t use it without checking on your actual pinboard to make sure it’s working as expected.

No longer works on iPhone XS

Just posting this to say DONT BUY until the dev updates the app. It hasn’t been updated in years, and I think it was a Paid app. App worked great when it worked, but now it won’t even open

Bug related to Paste function

Having pasted my api key, the paste alert is continually reappearing every second. That’s a huge problem making it distracting to use unless you edit a pin and copy some text. Then the alerts will stop.

Out of date at this point

This was previously the perfect app but it’s not kept up with updates. At this point it is non-functional, I am unable to see my pins or create any new ones.

It’s sad as I have loved this app for years. I hope it sees some maintenance, it was previously excellent.

I keep hoping

I keep hoping to see an update as it has quit working completely. Pinner is by far the best pinboard app and I really hate to see it go.

works on macOS!

This works well on an M1 MacBook Pro, and closes a gap I've had for years. I'm so grateful! What a timesaver.

Not bad

Can’t search by tag, even though it’s one of the options. However, I take back some of what I said in the past - I was probably hitting an iOS bug. Probably one of the best Pinboard apps, despite the flaws.

Needs updating

This *was* a fantastic app, I'm glad I purchased it when I did. Lack of updates means if you're considering it today, it's not a good idea anymore. Several issues creeped up as the years went on, and today it isn't reliable anymore.

Abandoned?

This was the best Pinboard app for iOS, but it seems to have been abandoned now. An update is desperately needed for iOS 14 as it endlessly repeats a ‘pasted from’ banner at the top, making it beyond nauseating.

No longer working

This is the best Pinboard app when it works.

On iOS 14 I’m unable to add pins successfully or refresh my list of bookmarks. Pushpin is working fine.

I hope this issue is resolved in the near future because I prefer Pinner’s design.
