### 2/5 — Sorry

*2026-05-19*

but this seems half baked. 

The app often suddenly only displays a white page.
When changing settings, there is no way to get back to the bookmarks list etc. 
These are just two quick examples.

### 2/5 — Hard to use

*2026-02-23, version 4.3.0*

The old Pinner app was a lot better. It’s very hard now to save something to a tag.
Stinks

### 3/5 — Mostly ok, often hangs

*2026-02-09*

Swipe right to fill often does not work and sometimes all buttons are unresponsive

### 5/5 — Wonderful App!

*2025-11-08*

Pushpin has been my go-to for 10 years with Pinboard. Not one issue. Consistently seamless (flawless) performance. Through all the years. Thank you for creating such a wonderful app. I Wish all Apps would perform this way! Geez - and now Open Source!!! Would love to see you make more Apps, sending a heart emoji :-)

### 5/5 — One of my must have apps is better

*2025-10-18, version 4.3.0*

Been excited about this for a long time. Great update! So excited to diver further into the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work properly… abandonware?

*2025-05-30, version 4.3.0*

…

### 5/5 — Great Pinboard client

*2025-01-14*

Works great and is still being developed!
Unfortunately, the menu button does not show up on the iPad Pro 12.9“: There is no way to get to another view than the bookmarks list. Fortunately, the share extension works even on the iPad Pro, and that’s what I use the app for most of the time.

### 1/5 — App needs a fix

*2025-01-04, version 4.2.1*

App does not work after recent changes on pinboard.in It cannot sync and does not allow to enter a new token.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool for my digital library

*2024-07-28*

Being able to quickly mark links for later review / reference and classification is such a vital task and this tool makes that task much faster. great features, fast, reliable and all the improvements over time make this app a serious value and tool. The integration with iOS share sheets and offline reading is just superb. Thank you to the developers and service providers for powerful bookmarking for the 21st century.

### 2/5 — Missing darkmode, various UX quirks

*2024-06-30*

This app needs a major overhaul: not only it doesn't support a dark mode - the search is broken (crashes on "Free Text" search [bookmarks over 20K], the last entries in the result list are not reachable). With the abandonment of the reference app, Pinner, this seems nevertheless the only app for Pinboard so far that is somehow useable.
