### 5/5 — Excellent developer responsiveness and thoughtful improvements

*2026-04-10*

I rely on Pinstachio as part of a broader publishing workflow, and recently ran into a limitation with how the share extension handled tags.

After reporting it, the developer responded quickly, implemented a fix, and in version 2.2 added an option to fetch tags directly within the share extension. This resolves a real-world workflow issue and makes the tool significantly more reliable. A smaller but meaningful fix was also included — the “private” toggle now behaves consistently across sessions.

For context, I’ve used Pinboard for years and tried multiple companion apps (many of which have since been deprecated). Pinstachio has been my go-to for some time now, and this kind of responsiveness is exactly why.

Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — No idea what I’d do without

*2025-03-02*

I use pinboard EVERY DAY, and this app is sleek and simple and works without fail. I am eternally grateful.

### 2/5 — Hangs at the slightest provocation

*2024-05-24*

I can’t tell you if the app is good, because never really got a chance to use it.

On launch, after logging in, I’m presented with a completely blank screen on my iPad mini in vertical orientation. Rotating to horizontal shows my bookmarks,

Opening the settings to see my options, I tap on Appearance and toggle an item (any item), and the app hangs.

The app has limited functionality without subscribing, and I’m not subscribing with this first experience, so I don’t know how well the app actually works.

### 3/5 — Share extension buggy

*2024-01-28*

When I use the share extension in safari, the screen shrinks slightly but the share sheet doesn’t pop up 90% of the time. Please fix, thank you!

### 1/5 — Free version is very limited

*2024-01-08*

The free version is so limited in its functionality that I ended up deleting it as it is impossible to determine if it's worth a subscription.

### 3/5 — Okay not great

*2023-11-27*

The app will save bookmarks. Great. But beyond that, its features are buggy. I find I can't reliably tag bookmarks and have them stick. And the app keeps losing bookmark icons, requiring a refresh. And the UI is quirky -- eg, select the side view for "tags" and there's no obvious way to revert the side view to the standard view. For a subscription-based app, these bugs should be addressed on a more frequent cycle. I'm looking for an altarnative desktop client.

### 3/5 — Decent looking but limited

*2022-01-01*

A decent looking Pinboard client with basic functionality but not very flexible; sidebar contents are fixed so one can't remove or hide extraneous options nor expand the list with searches or tags.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2021-11-19, version 1.2.1*

Can’t live without this! This works perfect with pinboard.

### 5/5 — Great modern interface for Pinboard

*2021-02-20*

Pinstachio is just what I was looking for - a modern app built on top of the rock solid Pinboard service. Using the Pinboard website on an iOS device is no fun. Fortunately I found Pinstachio. It fits right in on iOS.

Just in the week that I have been using the app a couple features that I want have been added. Of course I wish syncing my bookmarks was quicker. Hopefully sync time will improve now that background updating in Pinstachio has been added.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your support! Regarding the speed, I would definitely like to keep improving upon it; if you don't mind, could you reach out via the support option inside the app to see where improvements can be made?

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-02-18*

It’s the best but I really wish I could just buy a lifetime subscription for like $50 or something

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!
