Pros and cons of Pushpin for Pinboard app for iPhone and iPad

Pushpin for Pinboard app good for

This is a great app and is the primary way I use pinboard. It is intuitive and runs well. However there are some basic features missing like sort - if they were added that would bring it to a 5 star!

I love this app and am happy to pay for it. I tried Pinner and others but find this to have the best auto-filled description and tags. Theres really only one thing I wish I could see and that would be a night mode for navigating the app itself. The reader mode has it, but I find it jarring in the dark when I leave reader mode and go back to the app navigation. This would put this app over the top!

This lest me use pinboard.in services on my iPad and iPhone. Great share sheet extension - reliable and speedy

Best of all, well worth the price. The only Pinboard app youll need.

I simply love the new direct sharing feature from within safari. Great job!

I tried a few ways to get a better Pinboard experience on iOS. This is the best tool I could find. Full access in every way, great extensions, good interface.

Some bad moments

Looks nice, but its extremely buggy when attempting to add links with the share sheet (especially with TweetBot).

Its just an average app I find that it crashes frequently and it hasnt been updated in over six months

Good app, but the share sheet—which is super important in an app like this—crashes all the time when used in other apps. The swipe right to auto fill title also rarely works. Im happy to pay a premium for a good app, but it has to work perfectly. This one just doesnt.

I used Pinner but its share sheet is flaky. So switched to Pushpin. Alas, it cant handle my tens of thousands of Pinboard items (extreme case). It simply refuses to update, or updates slowly. Suspect way it invokes Pinboard API triggers throttling. Pinner avoids that. I think for majority of users it is fine, but for me it simply does not work whereas Pinner does (save share sheet!). So only tow stars for my use case.

The app is good when its working. But simple tasks like using the share sheet in Twitter or Safari are slow and sometimes result in a frozen Safari or Twitter, forcing me to kill/restart the apps.

The "read later" bookmarklet/extension crashes Safari. (Never seen that one before!) When you try to add a bookmark, the app freezes. When you try to refresh your bookmarks, it only works about half the time. For ten dollars Id expect better.
