Sorry

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.

Hard to use

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

Mostly ok, often hangs

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

Wonderful App!

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 :-)

One of my must have apps is better

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

Doesn’t seem to work properly… abandonware?



Great Pinboard client

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.

App needs a fix

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

Excellent tool for my digital library

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.

Missing darkmode, various UX quirks

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.

Useful for saving from other apps, but has some problems

It’s convenient for saving a bookmarks from external apps using the iOS Share function. However, it doesn’t help with tags, such as autocompleting based on your existing tags or suggestingtags based on the content. It’s simply an open text field even if you already have many tags saved in your account.

There’s also an accessibility issue with tags in the app itself. Even if you adjust the font, the tags always show in a tiny, non-bold, font that is too small to read. My vision is good (though not perfect) so I would guess this affects many users. The tags shown on preview screens in the store listing is as good as it gets unfortunately. Dev, please add a setting to make tags readable for all.

Buggy app with no response from support

All the share sheet features are broken and I’ve tried reaching out to support but no response. Guess I need to try to get a refund.

I usually don’t spend $10 on an app…

This app seems to work well but the share sheet extension just freezes Safari whenever you hit the Pushpin icon. I am hoping there is a workaround or fix for this or I might have to try to get a refund as this is why I bought the app.

Just works; really well.

Keeping on keeping on: thank you devs!

Pinning via share function no longer works

App is broken. Not updated for over a year.

Used to be great

This great app has sadly been abandoned and no longer works. Share sheet now just freezes Safari.

Share sheet functionality does not work anymore

Share sheet functionality does not work anymore. Hangs and crashes.

Doesn’t work on iOS 14

It freezes when you try to launch it from the share sheet.

Previously excellent, now broken

Previously I would have rated this product very highly but it now hangs whenever I attempt to use the tool. I imagine this is a iOS update maintenance problem, the tool has otherwise been stable.

Share extension is broken

Unusable for the primary purpose of posting links to Pinboard. Hangs on opening share sheet and selecting the app. With no updates in a year it appears this app has reached the end of its useful life.
