Pinner for Pinboard for Negative User Reviews
✓ Slowly witheringPinner doesn’t support the sharing destinations and actions that debuted as of iOS 13. Direct app use still works, so if you want a native Pinboard manager this app is still highly functional. But the real strength of the app, share sheet functions, not as much..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Share extension sloooowPinner is great but for the ios8 share extension being unbelievably slow to offer tag completion shortcuts if i start a tag with a letter 'e' i will then wait 10 seconds or so while it retrieves all tags containing an 'e' before i can type the next letter of the tag this means that i tag far fewer twitter articles on my phone than i otherwise would, because i can't be bothered to wait for pinner.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Abandonware?This app used to be great, but sadly it seems the developer has abandoned it. It hasn't been updated in years, and now, in iOS 17, I get an error that says, "Could not save. No URL found." Yet, another Pinboard app (which I don't like as much) has NO problem saving the very same pages. Currently, this app is unusable, as it no longer performs basic functions..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Disappointingly slow to add via sharing.Takes up to a minute to save a URL. Not worth the time. Too bad, it used to be much faster. Probably not the devs’ fault, but I am back to bookmarklets and shortcuts..Version: 4.3.1
✓ PinnerHas been a great app but no longer seems to work properly. Look elsewhere for your pinboard needs.Version: 4.3.1
✓ No longer works on iPhone XSJust posting this to say DONT BUY until the dev updates the app. It hasn’t been updated in years, and I think it was a Paid app. App worked great when it worked, but now it won’t even open.Version: 4.3.1
✓ Awesome pinboard client (not so anymore)Updated to one * (Oct 2019) No update for a year. Cannot filter by tags anymore on ipad pro 12.9 ios 13.1 Original post: I have tried a few, one did not show anything in my account, others did too many other things. This one is perfect. I was not sure if to purchase it or not, because someone suggested that there is no autocomplete for the tags. That is not true, when adding new bookmarks, the tags show the list of existing tags. Great little app..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Save to Pinner from share sheet brokenThis used to be an excellent tool for saving bookmarks to Pinboard, but increasingly its features stopped working. Now, however, it can’t even save from the share sheet anymore, complaining that there is “no URL found” when trying to save a webpage to Pinner. A bummer..Version: 4.3.1
✓ No longer able to save from share menu in safariThere is only one thing I use this app for - saving a web page I’m viewing in mobile safari to Pinboard through the share menu Every single time I try to do this now, I receive an error message saying something to the effect of “no URL in share”. This is not true because “sharing” via any other app works perfectly and the URL comes through. Going to be trying other Pinboard apps to solve for this problem instead..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Mostly OKI really liked this app, but I wish the developer would update it. In iOS 14, it’s constantly pasting from the clipboard, which results in a bunch of annoying notifications. Also, it doesn’t support the modern share sheet, which I think has been around since iOS 13. Sadly, I might need to switch Pinboard apps if this one has been abandoned. :(.Version: 4.3.1
✓ Needs updates, no longer worksThis was previously the perfect app but it’s not kept up with updates. At this point it is non-functional, I am unable to see my pins or create any new ones. It’s sad as I have loved this app for years. I hope it sees some maintenance, it was previously excellent..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Crashes in iOS 14 - please updateI love and rely in this app to post URLs to Pinboard. It’s well designed and intuitive. Unfortunately, as of updating to iOS 14, the program crashes on entry and appears to be abandoned. Please recompile and re-release the app if at all possible. It’s a winner!.Version: 4.3.1
✓ Effectively uselessRed timeout icon comes up constantly despite pinboard being up and iPad on fast wireless. In the rare case where it does actually download, it’s extremely slow. Pinner doesn’t appear to store synchronized bookmarks so closing the app puts it back into download timeout situation. Avoid this rubbish..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Missing basic featuresCan’t believe there isn’t a way to delete a tag and or the websites that have it without having to go into the tag. The simple things are missed..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Great design but website titles not fetchedI love the app, and I feel like only recently I’ve experienced the following bug. For whatever reason, if you save a website to Pinner from the share sheet, the web page title isn’t fetched. The app also used to prompt me to input my tags and add my own description, but it doesn’t seem to do that anymore (though this might be a setting error). I find myself using my Pinboard favorites bookmark more often because it works better. I hope they fix these issues..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Not working, very buggyThis was my favorite Pinboard app. It was fast, good UI, and just worked. I’m sad to see it so neglected since it’s very buggy and unreliable. I hope the dev updates it soon..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Missing titleWhen I share a tweet from the Twitter app to Pinner it doesn’t fetch the title (I have Fetch Title and Autofill enabled). Same when sharing from GitHub. I reached out to the developer on Twitter but got no response..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Flaky, needs fixesIn practice the app has worked well but it's got some grating bugs. Given that the last update was 3 years ago I don't expect the bugs will be fixed. I'm planning on finding another app that's still being maintained. The bugs are pretty significant: - The list of pinned items will occasionally decide to go blank, fall out of sync with whats on the server, or even have duplicate or missing items that don't reflect state on the server. Not super frequent and a couple app restarts would usually fix it eventually. - As of iOS 14 the share activity (e.g. to save something in Safari) no longer works properly. Previously it would display a dialog for editing the prefilled title/URL/description which could then be saved. Now it just freezes at the share menu for 5-10 seconds before saying that the page was saved, with the result on the server having nothing other than the bare URL (no more prefilled titles)..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Abandoned?This was the best Pinboard app for iOS, but it seems to have been abandoned now. An update is desperately needed for iOS 14 as it endlessly repeats a ‘pasted from’ banner at the top, making it beyond nauseating..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Impossible to edit tagsThe whole point of Pinboard is to organize links with tags. But this app makes it impossible to edit tags. Or makes the process so unnatural it is undiscoverable. Bad UI..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Generally good, but froze and had to be reinstalled during setupNo other problems since but above happened on both iPhone and iPad. Ready view is nice, and seems fast.Version: 1.32
✓ Show-Stopping GlitchesOnce the best, now put to rest. Sometimes takes forever to grab a link via the Share Sheet. Editing tags prompts the need to log out then log in again, since the app refuses to refresh. I use it now solely for editing. Otherwise, I've moved to PinSwift. Not as smart as Pinner when assigning a tag, but at least it works, speedily and consistently..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Used to be goodUnfortunately it looks like the developer has abandoned this app. On the current iOS version you can't tag new bookmarks and there's a glitch where it constantly says shows that "pasting from X" popup when you're in the app..Version: 4.3.1
✓ ABANDONEDThis app hasnt been updated for two years! I have issue with latest share extension. Difficult to use. Old review: App is reallf fast, search if very nice. "Edit" should be little more simple with less taps and a bit modern tagging view and icon. But app does what it does well. Also iPad support is great!.Version: 4.3.1
✓ Concerning crashesI love this and use it both on my iPhone and iPad. However, recently this app started crashing a lot more. I have over couple thousand bookmarks it’s concerning. Sometimes the iPad version won’t even launch properly. I’m happy to update my review if crashes are fixed. I still have to use this app since it’s the best one but I’m open to alternatives..Version: 4.3.0
✓ PoorFunctional, but crashy on iOS7. Basic UI problems; typography, alignment, dead ends. Used for 10 minutes and uninstalled..Version: 1.32
✓ Saving bookmarks unreliableI like the interface, but I’ve been sorry to see in the latest version that when you save bookmarks from chrome or whatever, they don’t seem to get saved to Pinner.Anyone else using this app, please check it works for you before relying on it..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Needs an update with fixesPinner has served me well as a lightweight, clean Pinboard client for a long time. In 2020, it’s been two years since it has had an update. It’s share sheet integration seems barely functional, and fetching page titles isn’t working, which leaves it barely usable for me. I hope the author will be able to work on Pinner again. I’d gladly pay a few bucks for it..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Great but dead appGreat Pinboard client for iOS. Doesn’t seem to be maintained anymore. Bugs are starting to pile up especially after the release of iOS 13. The app’s support link navigates to a website that no longer exists..Version: 4.3.1
✓ I seem to remember this was betterBeen a while since I last used this but now it crashes every few minutes. Takes multiple tries to pin something. Shouldn’t be this hard to work with..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Bug related to Paste functionHaving pasted my api key, the paste alert is continually reappearing every second. That’s a huge problem making it distracting to use unless you edit a pin and copy some text. Then the alerts will stop..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Good… but could use an updateThis app continues to *work*, and particularly it gets the job done as far as saving items to Pinboard via the share extension. It’s starting to show its age, though, as it hasn’t been updated for standard features of the last couple versions of iOS or iPad OS. I’d love to to see it get an update (and would happily pay a bit again for a bump that way!)..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Many great aspects, one major downsideFinally decided to give Pinner a try after all the high praise, and much of it is justified! However, it has a serious short coming for me: it’s quick pin share sheet is not pulling in site titles. Yes, I know there’s settings at the bottom to enable fetch description and such, but no it doesn’t work when enabled or disabled. Doesn’t matter what app I’m using it from (primarily Safari, full version not webview in apps that I knows has issues sometimes). Using the full add/edit pin option works better but it’s slower then than other apps. Also trying to edit a pin and use the little globe icon to pull in the title and description doesn’t seem to work on existing pins saved from quick pin, even when I clear the title. The rest of the app is better (needs some work on visual spacing) but the quick pin needs work..Version: 4.3.1
✓ No longer worksSadly the app seems abandoned and no longer works and only gives an error when saving page. It was great while it lasted..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Functional looks, but could be more functionalApp looks nice, plain and functional, but I miss bulk editing features. Certainly doesn't do much more than the website. It is good though to have a fixed place (i.e. this app!)to go to for all things bookmarks..Version: 1.32
✓ Broken on iOS 13When searching your bookmarks the titles/tags/desc/… filter buttons do not work..Version: 4.3.1
✓ All it does is crashUsed to work great on my iPhone and iPad. Now all it does is lose bookmarks and crash. Unless it's fixed soon it's pretty useless. Too bad: it's the best Pinboard client I've used. Great interface. Well thought out..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Very disappointingThe tag list shows the correct number of items against each tag but only a subset of the items are actually displayed when clicking on the tag. This problem has persisted since earlier versions. Numerous emails to support have been ignored. Not recommended..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Glitchy mess of an appApp frequently disconnects from Pinboard, extension will either randomly save to read it later or pop up a dialogue box to allow for tagging, description and other details..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Bugs make it unusableUsing the quick share sheet, Pinner doesn’t save anything more than the URL of the YouTube page or webpage. The automatically save description doesn’t work. This means that you have to save the URL using the long share sheet option (multiple button presses) as a workaround. The app hasn’t been updated in a long time. Not a happy purchase for me..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Used to be great..Seems not maintained anymore and has a few bugs (search not working anymore) which makes it not pleasant to use. Still looking for an alternative on the iPad..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Slow :(I used to love this app. now it's slow and unresponsive on my iPad 3 if you have a lot of tags. the UI literally locks up for half a minute. now looking for an alternative..Version: 3.2.4
✓ Really? Requires iOS 10? Bad move.Long time fan of the app. Easily a 6 out of 5 star app. But to update it to require iOS 10 for no practical purpose is simply ludicrous. Definitely NOT in the spirit of Pinboard... an elegant service that never jeopardizes compatibility..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Not badCan’t search by tag, even though it’s one of the options. However, I take back some of what I said in the past - I was probably hitting an iOS bug. Probably one of the best Pinboard apps, despite the flaws..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Needs updatingThis *was* a fantastic app, I'm glad I purchased it when I did. Lack of updates means if you're considering it today, it's not a good idea anymore. Several issues creeped up as the years went on, and today it isn't reliable anymore..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Kind of buggyWhat would otherwise be a great app has lots of bugs. Inconsistent quick-add feature, only pulls in the right title half the time, sometimes fails to sync to pinboard. Don’t use it without checking on your actual pinboard to make sure it’s working as expected..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Ongoing login failures - avoid appLogin to an API is not a difficult task, but is clearly beyond this developer. Constant login failures using both API key and username/password lead me to believe dev is doing an immediate full bookmark pull with a short timeout. Hint: some people have lots of bookmarks on onboard, try testing against an account with a large collection..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Not good first impressionsDoesn't render pages most of the time and hasn't managed to render one page yet in Reader View. Have contacted the devs, so let's see what they come back with..Version: 1.1
✓ OutdatedSupport for new iPhones and IOS 13 is sketchy.Version: 4.3.1
✓ Needs repairsThis has been the best Pinboard client for a long time, but it has gone on for many versions with bugs with offline support that prevent me from using it the way I want to. Merely by launching the app while offline, Pinner dumps all my Pinboard data, so I can't use it for offline reading, one of the main features that makes me want to use this app. Please fix..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Crashes on launchWorked fine until a few months ago. Then it started crashing about 10 seconds after launch, every time. I tried tweeting the dev about this but got no response. I figured the app was abandoned, but then just today it came out with an iOS 11 update. I see from other reviews that I’m not the only one to have either the bug or the silent treatment. Please fix your $10 app, sir..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Doesn't workEdit: app was updated for iOS 11. Still crashes every time. If you use the share widget to save bookmarks, they ARE NOT saved to your pinboard account. The app either crashes or acts like it works when it really doesn’t. I regret buying it. Crashes constantly with no support from the developer..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Doesn’t work at all.I logged in with both my password and an API token, multiple times, and the app never downloaded any of my bookmarks. When trying to add a bookmark the app insists I type a title instead of fetching it from the URL. So it’s useless both for reading and adding bookmarks. Pinswift worked fine but can no longer be downloaded. This app looks like a complete waste of money..Version: 4.3.1
✓ BuggyDoesn’t retrieve description or tag suggestions; and Quick Pin doesn’t always auto-fill the title..Version: 4.3.1
