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, version 4.3.0* Swipe right to fill often does not work and sometimes all buttons are unresponsive ### 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. ### 3/5 — Useful for saving from other apps, but has some problems *2024-06-23, version 4.2.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Share sheet functionality does not work anymore *2024-04-12, version 4.2.1* Share sheet functionality does not work anymore. Hangs and crashes. ### 2/5 — Previously excellent, now broken *2024-03-28, version 4.2.1* 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. ### 3/5 — Share extension is broken *2024-02-05, version 4.2.1* Since the last iOS update, when I tap the Pushpin icon in the share sheet, it does nothing and locks up the the app I'm sharing from. This is the only reason I have the app on my phone, so I had to switch to another Pinboard client that's been updated much longer ago than the one year this app has gone, but sharing still works. ### 2/5 — Bug with pushpin save url shortcut after iOS 17.3 update — launch UI onClick freezes safari mobile *2024-02-03, version 4.2.1* Bug with pushpin save url shortcut after iOS 17.3 update — launch UI onClick freezes safari mobile Love this app. You guys have a bug though as of mid Jan 2024. I’ve emailed your support twice. No reply. I’ve cleared all web data in iOS settings as well as deleted the pushpin app, redownloading by it, signing back in with pinboard username, password and api key. Same issue. Doesn’t fix problem. Please advise. Thanks @bradfranklin ### 2/5 — Share to app broken *2022-02-25, version 4.1.22* Been using this app for years. Was great when it first came out but has had a broken share sheet integration for about as long as share sheets have existed. Asked support about it and they blamed Apple but promised a fix. Waited another year or two but no progress. Beginning to look like abandonware. Pins for Pinboard doesn’t have this problem and has a nicer UI, so I’m switching. ### 3/5 — Fast and functional *2021-05-12, version 4.1.22* Wish there was support for pulling descriptions automatically from share sheet. ### 3/5 — Average. Clunky interface. *2021-02-16, version 4.1.22* Better tag display would be great. Don’t need my bookmark tags highlighted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work properly… abandonware? *2025-05-30, version 4.3.0* … ### 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. ### 1/5 — Buggy app with no response from support *2024-05-15, version 4.2.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Pinning via share function no longer works *2024-04-19, version 4.2.1* App is broken. Not updated for over a year. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2024-04-14, version 4.2.1* This great app has sadly been abandoned and no longer works. Share sheet now just freezes Safari. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iOS 14 *2024-03-30, version 4.2.1* It freezes when you try to launch it from the share sheet. ### 1/5 — Share extension is broken *2024-03-14, version 4.2.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Unstable app *2023-06-14, version 4.2.1* Crashes at fairly predictable intervals. I would stay away until the developer is able to fix it. A few years ago the iOS selection for pinboard apps was pretty limited so it was maybe worth putting up with the above problems, but now there seems to be several alternatives to choose from. ### 1/5 — Loses data, Poor privacy policy *2020-11-13, version 4.1.21* I found something new to hate about this terrible rip off app: it constantly silently fails to save bookmarks. Hugely enraging. I have paid to lose a lot of data. Original: The privacy policy is incredibly broad and permissive. Why am I paying so much but you get to what whatever you want with my personal data? Hate it and don’t trust you. ### 1/5 — Tons of bugs *2020-10-01, version 4.1.20* First: The way to use this app is to copy the link and switch over to pushpin. The share sheet extension doesn’t do anything other than save the URL (no pop up to add tags or description). A decent share sheet pop up is really the only thing I’m looking for. Next: there are tons of bugs. Searching in the “All” list is ineffective. Every time you click a link or edit an item the search is reset. Plus, editing items (the tags) do nothing. The item is unchanged the next time I search. I tried searching from the main screen’s search tab (at bottom) which leads to a more permanent search query, but then I’ve had 2 app crashes while trying to edit items in that list. Finally: the scroll window does not show every item on my iPhone 11. There are at least 2 items off the bottom of the screen. I can drag them up, but can’t click on them because the scroll view resets when I lift my finger. Maybe this used to be a good app, but now it’s a waste of money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful App! *2025-11-08, version 4.3.0* 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent tool for my digital library *2024-07-28, version 4.2.1* 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. ### 5/5 — I usually don’t spend $10 on an app… *2024-05-09* 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. ### 5/5 — Just works; really well. *2024-05-02* Keeping on keeping on: thank you devs! ### 5/5 — Pinboard vs delicious *2022-06-26, version 4.1.22* Fantastica app. Pinboard es la alternativa a Delicious que parece que desaparece por lo que llevo visto es mejor que Delicious. ### 5/5 — Superhuman Powers! *2022-02-03, version 4.1.22* So excited to have native iOS searching. Now there's a chance that I will find more things I need to use! I've got thousands of bookmarks and really am going to make a lot of the app now! I actually have made pushpin my go-to for everything already. I love the auto-complete for summaries, reader version, and editing of tags. So incredibly powerful ### 5/5 — Goto Pinboard app *2021-03-11, version 4.1.22* When Pinner was broken by an IOS upgrade and didn't get fixed, a quick and easy way to add to and look up the thousands of bookmarks I've built up over the years disappeared at a stroke. Thank you so much for Pushpin - it more than makes up for the loss :-) ### 5/5 — Pratique, performante - payante mais top *2021-02-23, version 4.1.22* Clairement, je ne regrette pas mon achat. Même s’il y a des applications similaires gratuites ou à un prix inférieur. Je l’utilise au quotidien depuis un iPhone et un iPad. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
