Still digging through Photos for a train ticket, pickup code, or checklist you just captured? With PinIsland, the information you need right now stays on Dynamic Island, within reach while you use other apps. PIN A SCREENSHOT Import an image and pin it. Expand Dynamic Island to see the important part, or tap it to return to the full image in PinIsland. It is ideal for tickets, pickup codes, addresses, and temporary checklists. SHORTCUTS, READY WHEN YOU ARE Add the Pin Screenshot Shortcut, then assign it to supported triggers such as the Action button or Back Tap. The in-app guide is always available when you need it. CHOOSE WHAT MATTERS Smart Crop automatically finds the most useful area. You can also adjust the preview manually to frame exactly what you need. SEE IT ON YOUR WRIST With a paired Apple Watch, browse synced images, zoom with the Digital Crown, drag to inspect details, unpin, or delete. New Pins are created on iPhone. YOUR PIN, YOUR WAY Choose how long Pins remain active and whether to pin the current image or every image. Hide Lock Screen previews for privacy, and follow the system appearance or choose Light or Dark Mode. IMAGES STAY ON YOUR DEVICES No account is required. Images are processed locally and are never uploaded to a server operated by the developer. A paired Apple Watch receives images through Apple's system connection. TRY IT FREE, UNLOCK ONCE The app includes 68 successful Pins to try for free. After that, a one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited future Pinsโno subscription. The actual price is shown in the app. Notes: Dynamic Island features require a compatible iPhone. Shortcuts and system triggers must be configured manually and depend on device support. Apple Watch features require a paired iPhone, and image sync depends on connection availability.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Amphi Cloud at none against PinIsland's 1. Amphi Cloud also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). PinIsland's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
