Pushpin for Pinboard for Negative User Reviews

✓ LameOn iPad, no way to get to browse page to list all tags. No way to get to settings. Can only log in the first time the app runs. Never mind testing, but do indie developers even try to use their apps once? Back to Pinner even though its quick add sheet is broken. Will request full refund. Sheesh: $10 for this?.LoolevVersion: 4.1.22

✓ The lock icon is annoying — fix it nowI ask you, dear peasants, why do I have to see a "lock" icon beside every bookmark when my entire Pinboard account is set to private? I want you to find the lock icon and I want you to fix it so that I may observe my app landscape and be happy again..Jeremy PhoenixVersion: 3.2.2

✓ Does the job, but needs to embrace more iPad featuresWas using Pinner as my pinboard app until recently, but it seems like the developer has abandoned it, so I picked up this one instead, as it’s one of the few apps that seems like it’s being actively developed. unfortunately the iPad experience is subpar, with no support for features like split view. it’ll do for now but I hope the developer is going to keep working on it..KxtaVersion: 4.1.18

✓ Completely uselessThe instant I input my Pinboard credentials, the app froze and glitches out. I let it sit for several hours, thinking perhaps it was just tied up with the sync process, but after all that time it still doesn’t show any of my Pinboard bookmarks. I can share bookmarks to Pinboard through the app, but can’t view them. I’ve tried troubleshooting, but there’s absolutely no helpful support/contact info for the developer. In short: a complete waste of money & time..SaltyInterlocutorVersion: 4.1.18

✓ Tons of bugsFirst: 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..GonsieVersion: 4.1.20

✓ CrashDespite having this app for 6 months, it continually crashes at launch and crashes again when I do a search. Kind of makes this app useless..Slim DrawVersion: 3.1.7

✓ Hangs on saving a link from the share sheetOften crashes with “can’t save bookmark without url.“ Promising but 15 seconds is too long and crashes too frequent for a $10 app..M012712Version: 4.1.5

✓ Doesn't work well with large number of bookmarksI don't know what was "fixed", but still doesn't load my (large) set of bookmarks, even when I deleted the app and then installed the new release to start fresh..Amy G. DalaVersion: 4.1.22

✓ Terrible performance with high bookmark countThe developer should try seeing how it’s performance is with 2500+ bookmarks it’s like updating every single one between edits, frequent time outs maybe the API is suspect but this app is not really functional compared to the web interface And what’s with the regular time out when I return to the app after opening a link. And and do you think dark mode might not be bad idea, it was introduced in iOS 12 and we’re on iOS 14?.Ct1003Version: 4.1.22

✓ Not quite good enoughI really want to like Pushpin. I installed it on my iPad 3 (iOS7) and iPhone 5S about 5 hours ago. Interface nice and simple but the app has crashed a lot. The phone app crashed every time I deleted a tag (I got used to it after a few gos), the iPad app has gone down 3 times and is now presenting me with a Japanese entry in the LH column and associated Japanese looking feeds. I will keep using and see how it goes: better I hope!.ReteachingVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Pretty but buggyI really want to like this app but it crashes every time I use it. Each update seems to introduce as many bugs as it fixes..Barry SampsonVersion: 3.2

✓ Nice but ios8 share extension crashesPushpin's ios8 share extension has a few visual glitches, dies for no obvious reason in the middle of tagging and, worst of all, manages to freeze my twitter client, requiring kill/restart.MccraigmccraigoftheclanmccraigVersion: 4.0

✓ Doesn’t workThe app seems to go through the motions of logging in and downloading bookmarks and then ... nothing. I’m not sure how to get in touch with the developers. Using the form on their web page to request help has yielded no response. There really ought to be trial period so you’re not down by $10 for a non-functioning app..Ars789Version: 4.1.17

✓ Long Time User, but datedI can’t justify moving to any other Pinboard app, however this could seriously benefit from an update introducing some of the latest iOS quality of life enhancements - dark mode being at the top of my list..IamrwcVersion: 4.1.18

✓ Unstable appCrashes 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..Least expectedVersion: 4.2.1

✓ New version on new iOS unreliable.Pushpin used to have two icons on the share sheet, a quick read later one, and the full tagging sheet. A couple of versions ago they stopped being labeled that, and there were just two identical pushpin icons and you had to remember that the left one did something different than the right. Now there is only one, and what it does changes randomly, and often doesn’t appear at all. The app now crashes at startup about 50% of the time..DaveKammVersion: 4.1.20

✓ Bugs make it difficult to useAs I write this it has been almost a year since the app was updated. There had been a frustrating usability bug that means when I search, the top item (likely the one I want) is hidden beneath the top area with the search tools. I can only tap it if I pull down and quickly catch it before the recoil. Maddeningly frustrating. Would not recommend this app until the developer shows more of an interest in maintenance..Doctor Mantis TobogganVersion: 4.1.18

✓ $10. Doesn’t support split view. ???Look, I really like paying for software that’s well designed and maintained and all that jazz. But I feel like there needs to be an upfront warning: “yes, we have an iPad app but no it doesn’t support one of the most important features of pro-level multitasking: split view.” So this is that warning. Probably don’t buy it if you expect to multitask on an iPad with it..KazutoKirigayaVersion: 4.1.17

✓ Too many small UX annoyances.Two share entries with the same name, a “bookmark added!” message when you cancel adding, a single tag is not accepted if you don’t add a space, no normal iOS keyboard when you add a description, and worst of all no auto-completion based on my own tags. This makes adding links just too painful..Jurie HornemanVersion: 4.1.18

✓ Loses data, Poor privacy policyI 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..Ryan Tate BerkeleyVersion: 4.1.21

✓ Bookmarking from the Share Menu is Very SlowThe app is generally good, but bookmarking from the share menu is usually VERY slow. This is how I bookmark almost everything on mobile which is why it’s such a problem for me..ShknerthVersion: 4.1.18

✓ Functional but room for improvementThis is your only option if you want offline reading, and it does that well and has a nice interface. There are a few areas for improvement though. 1. It cuts off long descriptions and then syncs the shortened description back to Pinboard (which has an absurdly long character limit, so it shouldn’t be cutting them off) 2. Reader view doesn’t work with Archive of Our Own, which seems like an oversight since Pinboard actively courts fandom. 3. There doesn’t seem to be a way to star bookmarks within the app? 4. It would be nice if it remembered your place where you were reading, since the offline mode positions it as a read later app. 5. Support takes forever to respond..Cas3y5Version: 4.1.16

✓ Pretty Good, needs some finesseNice to use but it has a few annoyances and crashes regularly when changing settings (using iPad 2 on iOS 8). A couple of UI/UX niggles. The "close" button is too small and awkwardly placed. Some swipe gestures would fix..Achisholm81Version: 3.2.1

✓ Seems to be bug-riddenWhen i bought this a year ago and used it for a few weeks, I gave it 5 stars for its elegance and just for the fact that it worked. Nowadays, performance is inconsistent to the point that I’ve just stopped using it. What’s the point of manually adding a bookmark, including having to type the description, title, and tags, only for the app the constantly crash? As of Jan 2020, this app was last updated 6 months ago. I would not buy this until another update is made..DannoOnoVersion: 4.1.18

✓ Seems decent, but really needs dark modeWish it supported dark mode. Really jarring to see an app that doesn’t these days (really affects the share sheet the most). Hope the developer adds that soon. I didn’t have the smoothest startup experience as well. It spun for a while, maybe just because of how much data I have in my account. Wish the app had some progress indicator. Otherwise, a decent replacement for my previous favorite, Pinner..SujalVersion: 4.1.21

✓ Waste of money.I agonized over purchasing this app for the longest time. i’ve used pinner for a while now and it mostly gets the job done, but i was never thrilled with it. since more issues have cropped up lately i finally decided to bite the bullet and try pushpin. it’s very pretty, i’ll give it that. but seeing as the read later share extension never seems to be able to retrieve the page title and the bookmark share extension just leaves chrome unresponsive, it’s completely useless to me for the purpose of actually bookmarking things. which is kind of the point. i’m feeling pretty ill at having essentially thrown $10 away, honestly..Unnaturally greenVersion: 4.1.11

✓ Works as well as free optionsI was looking for something with better sharing too and from pinboard. It works perfectly well. But I now have two apps with te same functionality, not a paid one with more options. Smart folders with tags would help, (It doesnt appear to be using the tags already existing in my Pinboard account).John_in_HertsVersion: 4.1.18

✓ Sharing Extension Crashes and SlowWhen saving almost all links the app simply hangs. If it doesn’t hang it fails with “Unable to save without a title”. When I click the link there’s clearly a page title on the page..JfelchnerVersion: 4.1.14

✓ Sharing from Chrome still doesn’t prefill consistentlyMuch of the time the “swipe right to prefill” functionality does nothing. Clicking on “feedback and support” in the app also does nothing, which makes it difficult to give feedback..RbilsborVersion: 4.1.14

✓ Share to app brokenBeen 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..Chez LeurVersion: 4.1.22
