Pins for Pinboard

Search doesnt seem to work, and selecting any channel crashes app completely. Shame, was hoping this is what I needed.

This review is for macOS version. It started as a really good app. I was one of the first users and was very happy about it. However, over time it has become bloated, sluggish, and buggy. Latest release shows weird template strings in the menu. Apparently, no-one has tested it before pushing to App Store.

I’ve been an App Store user since the early 2010s and it’s rare for me to take the time to write a review. This might even be my first App Store review, I honestly don’t know. The Pins apps for iPhone and MacOs are simply the best apps for managing Pinboard bookmarks, bar none. Just buy it now and skip the rest of my review. :) The interfaces are great, the apps work super well, and the price is absolutely reasonable. You also aren’t stuck paying a monthly subscription for something that is more of a niche utility. The developer has also been keeping these apps up to date through the different versions of MacOs, the recent changes to the Pinboard API’s ,etc. I have lso bought other Pinboard apps in the past that worked great but ended-up being abandoned. It’s a niche market, so I get it. But this one is way better than any of the other ones that I paid for in the past. Just wanted to try and offer a “thanks for such a great app and keeping it up to date” from a fellow Software Engineer who has no association with the company/person who is building this. It’s probably not a big money maker but I am very appreciative of something that really checks all of the boxes for managing Pinboard bookmarks natively on your Mac and iPhone. If you are looking to manage Pinboard from iPhone or MacOS, just buy it now! Support this developer for such a great app that is also still being updated.
