User Reviews

Pinbox is easy and accurate for locating points of interest and offers strong visual, color-coded organization for travel planning and privacy. However, it lacks cross-device syncing and robust backups, misses key map-management features, has limited platform support (no iPad/landscape), and has some usability quirks plus pin-count limits.
Pros
  • Easy-to-use and accurate location search across regions (US/Europe).
  • Visual map organization with color-coding helps categorize pins and plan routes.
  • Strong travel-planning capabilities: view many pins in one place and plan daily itineraries.
  • Privacy-conscious: avoids data sharing with Google and social features.
  • Long-standing, reliable tool used by many travelers for years.
Cons
  • No cross-device syncing or user account; data is device-bound, making backups and transfers difficult.
  • Missing map-management features: cannot rename maps, lacks pin-color filtering, cannot import pins from CSV; export options are limited.
  • Poor platform support for iPad/landscape mode and general UI optimization; not updated recently.
  • Usability issues like not being able to drop a pin on the current location; touch accuracy can be problematic; strict pin limits (400 pins per map, 2,500 total) constrain use.

Do not pay for this app if you're expecting to use this application on two devices, there is no creating an account, you can only use it on one device. Trying to export your saved locations is a major hassle, I urge you to look elsewhere. App deleted. I'll be requesting a refund too.

I have used this in the US and Europe. It’s incredibly easy and very accurate. Mark the items you want to see, open the app, and find your way. I like to color code - restaurants, top sites, second-maybe-see sites, etc. More than once I’ve looked at this site and found that I was super close to a point of interest and didn’t even realize it! I’ve recommended this to many other happy travelers. I know that Google Maps is popular but this is far far better.

I have loved this app for several years. Thousands of pins saved from jobs done to travel locations to best restaurants along with notes and photos on practically all of them. I recently started having problems with my iphone which was backed up to iCloud every night. Once I restored my new phone from iCloud, I noticed that there was no provisions in either the pinbox app to restore from a backup, nor does the iCloud settings show the app as linkable to iCloud. In FAQ: “How do I backup my Pinbox data? Your Pinbox data is automatically backed up whenever you backup your iOS device to iCloud or to your computer (through iTunes). If your device were to ever get lost or broken, your Pinbox data would be available on your new device as long as you set up your new device by restoring from backup.” I’ve sent two emails to the Developer with no reply yet. Will update this review once they reply. Summary, the app is great, but hopefully we get this backup situation worked out, I would hate to lose at least 10 years worth of diligent notetaking.
