## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — “Something went wrong”

*2020-12-20, version 1.1.2*

Doesn’t work. Can’t save a web page to my pinboard.

### 1/5 — Stopped syncing 20 days ago

*2018-08-30, version 1.1.2*

Any alternatives?

### 1/5 — Just parroting.

*2017-07-09, version 1.1.1*

Add share sheet to own the competition.

### 3/5 — Needs Share Extension

*2018-01-16, version 1.1.2*

Great and simple for free but docked two stars for no share extension still.

### 4/5 — Wonderful but out of date

*2021-06-26, version 1.1.2*

This app works great, but it seems like it was made pre iPhone 10 and therefore the window size is smaller than my phone’s screen. I hope the developer picks this up again and writes an update to fit it on current iPhones. It would also be nice to have dark mode, and an option to NOT open things in reader view automatically.

### 4/5 — Awesome free app

*2020-03-26, version 1.1.2*

Works and is super simple to use. Not sure why the developer buried the tag field in the options tab but it’s no big deal. For being a free app, it works and allows you to save bookmarks to your pinboard account easily. I thank the developer!

### 4/5 — It works!

*2019-08-22, version 1.1.2*

Pinboard is a joy, and this app lets me use pinboard on the iPad, so I thank the author.

There is a usability issue in my opinion: you have to go to the options screen to tag an item, and then return to the home screen to then post the tag. Having it all on the initial screen would be simpler, perhaps.

This is the best free pinboard client, but I ended up moving to Pinner because of the aforementioned two-screen inconvenience.

### 4/5 — Simple but good

*2018-07-28, version 1.1.2*

This is a great pin board app that is easy to use and has a clean/simple design. Please add the following features to get a 5 star review: 1) ability to only show unread bookmarks, 2) swipe to mark bookmark as “read”.

### 4/5 — The name is accurate

*2017-01-18, version 1.1.1*

Basic, but very good at what it does.

### 4/5 — Really neat

*2016-10-27, version 1.1.1*

Great pinboard.in client. Fast and sync seems to be accurate.  Search works well. The only thing missing is a share sheet extension. Would also be nice to have a tag browser.

Thank you for making this!

Edit: seems to be a bug with editing an existing bookmark (I tried it multiple times) No error is displayed, but after hitting Save, the changes are not pushed.

### 5/5 — Still works great

*2022-06-13, version 1.1.2*

One of the first Pinboard apps I tried. Hasn’t been updated in a long time, but still does everything I need it to from my phone

### 5/5 — Good pinboard app

*2021-02-20, version 1.1.2*

Good, simple, and does what I expected it too. Not sure how I could expect any more from a free app

### 5/5 — Superb

*2020-10-24, version 1.1.2*

Does a few things extremely well. If you want a simple and very capable app for pinboard, this is the best to start with and it may be all you ever need. Well done.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2019-12-08, version 1.1.2*

I love this app. I was using the bookmark version for Safari, but now that there’s a share extension, I use the app exclusively. The only thing I’d change is the ability to add tags in the first pop up instead of going to options. Thank you for making such a great app, and for free too!

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2019-08-03, version 1.1.2*

Super simple and handy, works great!

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2016-12-23, version 1.1.1*

Thanks for a great FREE app!
