It started as a really good app. I was one of the first users and was very happy about it. However, over time it has become bloated, sluggish, and buggy. Latest release shows weird template strings in the menu. Apparently, no-one has tested it before pushing to App Store. ### 4/5 — Pretty good. *2024-12-26* Quite a few intermittent issues lately, I’ve looked but can find no explanation for that, but the app is still working. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t sync, no support *2024-08-04, version 2023.1* Basic functionality. iOS, iPad OS, and desktop don’t sync with each other. No help from developer on the issue. Look elsewhere. ### 3/5 — Beautiful app with missing functionality *2024-05-30, version 2023.1* When saving a pin on my iPhone from Chrome, the title of the page isn’t filled in. Makes it very difficult to search later. ### 4/5 — Why can’t you edit the URL? *2024-04-22, version 2023.1* I like the app generally, but I just realized you can’t edit the URL of a link you have saved. Seems like a strange limitation. ### 3/5 — Nice App, Zero Support *2024-01-26, version 2022.2* The app does what it says basically with some quirks and bugs. Developer ignores support requests. ### 5/5 — GREAT!!! *2023-10-17, version 2022.2* The app I have been waiting for! Beautiful app for interacting with Pinboard. Nice UX and seach experience ### 2/5 — Odd urls *2023-07-25, version 2022.2* When this app is launched I’m seeing some odd addresses being queried. Test before trusting with your data. ### 5/5 — Nice but missing tag autocompletion on Mac *2023-07-21, version 2022.2* Would be nice to have tag autocomplete based on existing ones. The keyboard suggestion for tags is super helpful on iOS but on Mac there's none (or it's only for touchbar Mac?) So I often create tags that are different but similar, which is bad for organizing ### 5/5 — Best app for pinboard. *2023-07-21, version 2022.2* This easy to use, fast, well laid out app is probably the slickest design for pinboard. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2023-06-04, version 2022.2* I use this app several times a day. It's got a great interface and works beautifully with my Pinboard account. Well worth the money. ### 2/5 — Can't autocomplete tags on the Mac *2023-03-24, version 2022.2* It has been two years, and we still can't autocomplete tags when bookmarking through the share sheet. I used to think this was a five-star Mac app, but when I want to use Pinboard I either have to use this app and then immediately go to the website to do the tagging, or switch to iPad. Any Mac app which forces users to use web or iPad solutions preferentially is clearly not a five-star app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-09-27, version 2024.1* Search doesnt seem to work, and selecting any channel crashes app completely. Shame, was hoping this is what I needed. ### 1/5 — Tags won’t refresh *2025-02-25, version 2024.1* The MacOS app no longer refreshes tags accurately. Developer is not contactable. ### 1/5 — Awful pop-up videos *2025-01-18, version 2024.1* I love this app for the first minute or two after I open it. But then I start getting pop-up videos. It starts with a video here or there while looking at a page I saved, but gradually progresses to videos even popping up in the app itself and when I click the X to close or swipe to the side, they persistently come back so it is impossible to view my content altogether. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Was nice while it lasted *2024-12-25, version 2024.1* I am very sorry to say this app in no longer working even after update Bummer because I just started to make it a big part of a new workflow Not sure where to go now Would be nice if I can use it again ### 1/5 — Twitter-only support; riddled with errors *2024-12-14, version 2022.2* Initial import worked and I thought this was a decent app. Then one day it just stopped receiving anything new from Pinboard. I refreshed and it would say the data wasn’t in the correct format. I deleted and reinstalled the app, logged out and back in, issued a new API token — nothing worked. I finally clicked the support link and did it bring me to some basic HTML site with an FAQ and contact? No, it loaded a Twitter profile which was immediately obscured by an ad to create a Twitter account. So if that profile did have a link to a support site, I can’t see it. Garbage. ### 1/5 — Useless, Won't Save A Thing *2024-11-07, version 2022.2* Instant Uninstall ### 1/5 — No longer able to capture bookmarks *2024-06-16, version 2023.1* Instead of the link, Pins now grabs a bunch of nonsense. Used to be an important part of my workflow, now unusable. ### 1/5 — Good luck getting support . . . Crickets *2023-10-06, version 2023.1* As the title says. No response from developer. ### 1/5 — Reviews *2022-11-14, version 1.10* Keeps asking for reviews. ### 1/5 — Seems buggy *2021-11-02, version 1.9* Nice idea but it forgets settings every time I open the app and is buggy in other aspects. Only downloads 100 bookmarks on the paid version, so is a disappointing purchase. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best bookmarking iOS app hands down *2025-08-04, version 2024.1* Just great ### 5/5 — 기능이 안정적이고 지속 가능해보입니다 *2025-04-19, version 2024.1* 아직 프로 구매 전이긴 하지만 사용한지 3개월 정도 지났네요 전에 쓰던 앱이 갑자기 서비스를 중단해서 갈아탔는데 앱 퀄이 뛰어나 만족스럽네요 ### 5/5 — This Is The One! Buy it Now! *2025-03-06, version 2024.1* I’ve been an App Store user since the early 2010s and it’s rare for me to take the time to write a review. This might even be my first App Store review, I honestly don’t know. The Pins apps for iPhone and MacOs are simply the best apps for managing Pinboard bookmarks, bar none. Just buy it now and skip the rest of my review. :) The interfaces are great, the apps work super well, and the price is absolutely reasonable. You also aren’t stuck paying a monthly subscription for something that is more of a niche utility. The developer has also been keeping these apps up to date through the different versions of MacOs, the recent changes to the Pinboard API’s ,etc. I have lso bought other Pinboard apps in the past that worked great but ended-up being abandoned. It’s a niche market, so I get it. But this one is way better than any of the other ones that I paid for in the past. Just wanted to try and offer a “thanks for such a great app and keeping it up to date” from a fellow Software Engineer who has no association with the company/person who is building this. It’s probably not a big money maker but I am very appreciative of something that really checks all of the boxes for managing Pinboard bookmarks natively on your Mac and iPhone. If you are looking to manage Pinboard from iPhone or MacOS, just buy it now! Support this developer for such a great app that is also still being updated. ### 5/5 — Very well implemented *2025-01-09, version 2024.1* Pins show up in spotlight search on iOS and Mac. Very impressed. ### 5/5 — Fixes in for pinboard api errors *2024-12-19, version 2024.1* A great app. I use it every day. How do you live without bookmarks? ### 5/5 — Use it constantly *2024-08-08, version 2023.1* I use this app routinely. I’d be happy to pay $10 a year in subscription fees to support maintenance. It’s a good fit to subscription because there is no real data lock. ### 5/5 — Great pinboard companion *2024-01-28, version 2023.1* I was using Pinner for many years, it just worked, but was no longer updated. Found this when Pinner stopped working. I should have been using this the whole time. ### 5/5 — Savior *2023-11-20, version 2023.1* Everything goes in Pinboard, and the is the best way to get my links saved. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Essential for Pinboard Bookmarking *2023-11-09* Excellent app that works well with the pinboard bookmarking service but I really hope the developer doesn’t get too distracted with his other non-pinboard application. This application is too good to just fade away from lack of interest. ### 5/5 — Pinboard.inを使用する上で最高のアプリ *2023-11-01, version 2022.2* 長年Pinboard.inを利用しているが、MacやiOSデバイスで利用するのであればこのアプリと併用するのがもっとも良いと思う。 なお、ブラウザの機能拡張は提供されていないので「共有」メニューからこのアプリに送ることになる。クリック数が少し増えるが、その他の機能が圧倒的に優れているため困らないだろう。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
