Excellent developer responsiveness and thoughtful improvements
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.

No idea what I’d do without
I use pinboard EVERY DAY, and this app is sleek and simple and works without fail. I am eternally grateful.
Hangs at the slightest provocation
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.

Share extension buggy
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!
Free version is very limited
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.
