I've tried a few bookmarks managers but Pins beats them all. Finding bookmarks by tags/title/note's content in the menubar or via hotkeys it's blazing fast. Exactly what I wanted. The G.U.I. is nice and organizing bookmarks by folders/subfolders is very practical to make the hierarchy I need and the "show last added bookmarks on top/bottom" or "keep bookmarks arranged by title/date top/bottom" and "keep highest/most visited bookmarks on top" make it a very good bookmarks manager, the missing one.
Add: and it never had a crash

In the past, I tried several other similar applications, but could never make up my mind to purchase one of them. Then I discovered Pins, and it took me exactly one hour to conclude that it's worth its twenty bucks, and to overcome my qualms. And I'm still happy with my choice.
Complimenti, Fabio! Keep up the good work!

The developer is extremely responsive to questions (within hours I had answers) and this means a lot to me.
With a click of a button from Safari I can load a bookmark to this manager. (Use the Safari extension for this.) Then it’s only a matter of going there and placing the bookmark in a folder.
One note: you have to wait a second after clicking an bookmark image before it will “stick” and you can drag and drop it. YOU’ll have to learn this.
This is a very pretty and fine bookmark manager, with a developer that cares about it.

Now to the Drag and Drop of bookmarks into folders a reviewer below states that this doesn't work. I didn't think so either, but there is a knack. Instead of dragging a bookmark and dropping it straight onto the folder, you have to drag it to the left of the chosen folder to highlight the folder then drop. A quirk.
This is only version 1.3 so I'm sure this will be improved in the future.
There are also comments below about the importing of bookmarks and that this is slow. In comparison with Webbla, importing is slower but I'd suggest that this may be related to the quality of thumbnails generated for each site imported. As I said before Pins are nice and sharp whereas Webbla's are blurry.
The developer might be able to shed some light on this.
Sorry to waffle on but I mainly wanted to let people know about the Drag and Drop quirk.

yes fetching the images takes longer because the quality is 800 by 800 pixels. Drag and drop works if you keep your mouse clicked for about a second before starting to drag bookmarks... I understand that this is sometimes not intuitive but it's the way the object I'm using currently works. I plan to change this in a future release. You are right that Pins is still young and there is a lot to be done... I'm working hard on it so it will be better and better as time goes by.
Thanks for your review,
Fabio

On the problem side it struggles to import large numbers (over 2000) bookmarks and would not sync across my Air and imac, crashing regularly.
BUT...and this is why I'll be sticking with PINS...the support from Fabio the developer has been exceptional and I'll happily stay with a product when thee is that level of support and plus, if we don't support new developers to iron out the glitches in new products, where will we be.
After deleting the PINS app support folders in the library and 'starting from scratch' things worked fine, including syncing.
This is the second reason why I'm staying with PINS. A 'fresh start' with my bookmarks. If you are like me, you may over the years have amassed hundreds or even thousands of bookmarks in various different browsers (I was up to about 3000 in safari, chrome and firefox). To be honest, I probably regularly use about 30 of those and probably couldn't tell you what all he others even were :-)
I'm going to use PINS to gradually bring in and organise the bookmarks that I really need and use and am actually looking forward to the 'decluttering' experience.
So 3.5 stars for what is a good product and potentially a great one with the kind of first rate support that we wish we had from our software all the time.

Importing my bookmarks from the Safari-exported file... After 35 mins 10 bookmarks (out of 1000+) were imported; drag and drop does not work. Pins appears to be ready to accept a drop but nothing happens. Synchronising bookmarks... Have only managed to get 13 into the system and when asked to synchronise with my DropBox folder, after 10 mins it is still processing... Meaning it's probably hung.
Any advice on getting this to do basic Mac things (drag and drop, import, synchronise) would be welcomed. If nothing is possible this may not be ready for release.

please update to version 1.1 which has just been approved on the Mac App Store. The issues you address should be fixed. Drag and drop works but you should keep your left mouse button clicked for about a second before starting to drag. Sync has been completely rewritten and now works with a free online account so you don't need to use dropbox anymore. I guess you are using Lion... sync was actually malfunctioning on version 1.0 but that has been fixed now. 1000+bookmarks... wow. It should be working ok now because in version 1,1 preview fetching is done in the background. If you need anything else you can contact me on the feedback forum on the pinsapp.com website. Thank you for your interest in Pins and I appreciate your not rating yet.
