This app would be good if it worked. The backup feature doesn't work and it's not reliable with regard to setting new "pins."

This is my favorite Mac app for storing and organizing bookmarks. I prefer it to the built-in bookmarks manager in Safari and other browsers. I also think it's better than Bookmacster, which I used to use. And for $9.99, Pins is reasonably priced.

There are a few quirks, but overall it's good.

Also the developer is very responsive and responds to emails promptly.

Just tried the trial version and sort of liked it but chose not to use it after finding out the developer is moving to a subscription model with the next major release.

Not very happy so far. I liked the idea of some of the features they showed, but it doesn't seem to work with Chrome, or at least that's been my experience so far. I tried sending a message to the developer, and the form on their website is busted, so I don't know if there's any way at all to get hold of them, even if to just let them know about the issue.

Sorry, but if it doesn't work with Chrome, it's a 1-star review for me. (I suppose I should include that I'm running macOS Sierra, version 10.12.3, and Chrome is the current version, but then Chrome automatically updates itself all the time anyway.)

Decided to give it another go after disappointing experiences with previous (1.x.x) versions. Much has improved in version 2.0.4, but at least one issue has stayed: preferences retention. I must still reselect the 'Show bookmarks containing all of the selected'... option after every relaunch. And the software crashed while selecting tags (I am using OS X 10.11).

Hmmmm.... Bought Pins 2.0.2 and it just hung constantly. just upgraded to 2.0.3 hoping it would be resolved but its not much better. It functions for 2 out of 10 minutes at the most, most of the time its just "Not Responding" then quits.

Developer' site appears to be blacklisted. I can't access it anymore. Upon verification, and as reported by the site below, McAffee and some are blocking it. https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/pinsapp.com What happened?

UI seems a bit clunky to me, but that's personal preference. Capabilities of the software appear reasonable on the surface, but I can't get Pinboard import to work at all, because it crashes: /* Application Specific Information: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+entityForName: nil is not a legal NSManagedObjectContext parameter searching for entity name 'Tag'' abort() called terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException */ UI isn't polished enough for my taste and I'm not interested in debugging this app. I think if I were going to buy software like this today I'd go with Spillo (which I'm non-commital about because I usually use a SSB via Fluid directly to Pinboard which is pretty nice with the custom userstyle I feed it.)

What does it needs to constently connect to the developer site, even after the license is accepted, and I chose not to look for update? Is it a sync feature? If so, how can I opt-out of it since I don't intend to use the sync feature. And why does it connect to settings-crashlytics-1410998606.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com? and there's no preference to opt-out of it? Thank you.

I purchased my 2.0 upgrade directly from the developer's website, due to his prior excellent customer service. I also enjoy his program, which is quite useful. I particularly like the fact that it allows me to view and work with my pinboard.in information. I really like this program, and think folks will find the developer very responsive. Highly recommended.

Just decided to give Pins one last shot before deleting this waste of money spent almost six months ago and not only did Pins crash again and again and again but it just caused my first major Firefox crash this year that had to be restarted three times In a row so I could delete the Pins browser extension. What a piece garbage and time waster this app is. To top It off Pins now wants me to sign Into Dropbox,(NSA spyware). Screw you Fabio!

I haven't yet added any bookmarks, have scarcely done more than launch the demo app, a few times, and every time it becomes unresponsive (spinning beachball) or just crashes.

Looks promising. I like the way Pins handles tags, but it would be even better if, as soon as 1 tag is selected only the tags are shown that occur in combination with the already selected tag, so that one can ‘drill down’ more easily. More serious are a few nasty bugs. The search window from the menu bar is completely messed up as soon as I start scrolling the search results. Settings are not kept after quitting and restarting the application, that includes the account settings for synchronization. I would buy the application when these bugs are fixed.
