PinDroid

Used to be very useful. But today, I'm unable to get it to sync on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Tablet. It indicates that syncing is done when I pull down. However, I can see that the item I shared with Pinboard in my Tablet is not synced as the sync icon is not shown. It used to work but strangely, it has stopped being able to sync. However, Pindroid continues to sync correctly on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Across multiple devices, I've just never been able to make this work. Bookmarks never seem to stay synced. Bookmarks I create on a device will mysteriously decide not to update to Pinboard. I don't even really know if it's fair to blame the app, but I've never had these problems on my iOS devices.

Used to work perfectly for me, but I recently upgraded to a Galaxy Note 8 and now it will not allow me to log in. Authentication fails every time even though I specifically logged out and logged back in (on mobile Chrome) to confirm my password. Very sad day for me.

This is a good app and works well for me on both iOS and Android. However, the search function does not go through all my bookmarks giving me only results for the most recent ones. This may be due to the fact that I have more than 25,000 bookmarks on Pinboard so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Other than that, I am glad that it is there.

Have to login almost every time I want to share a link. It is quite annoying.

This crashes very often (a small notification box in the center of screen appears, stating that pindroid unfortunately stopped. This happens even when I'm not using it; in fact, it happened as I was writing this review too! I like that I can just save a website I'm viewing in my browser right to pinboard though.

I like this app - I think I've been using it for as long as I've had a pinboard account But lately it won't sync. In settings-> accounts, it says it last synced on Oct 29, which is a whole week ago

It's recently been a data hog, so I uninstalled it. My phone reported 4.47GB of background data transfer in the last 30 days.

Really wish it would follow 301/302s in order to prevent me from bookmarking shortlinks that might die in the future, otherwise a great app.

It won't sync to pinboard. It says synced but it is not. Looks nice though, I would give this 5 stars if it worked.

It's a great mobile interface to my pinboard!

Log in doesn't work????

Reinstalled via F-droid ... It works now.

Uncluttered, fast, easy to use

I can't trust this.

I was a big user of del.icio.us and suffered through its declining Yahoo and Hurley/Chen days. It always had to be something more than simply a "cloud stored" bookmark that you could optionally share. Pinboard is the best of that and dead simple. It's like a twitter feed for yourself. I save bookmarks while browsing on desktop computers, tablets and phones. Then when I have time to read I catch up. I especially enjoy doing so on my phone from this app

No issues on my phone but not a great experience on my tablet. It you choose to open links in your browser as default 80% of the app is empty wasted white space and most of the link title is cut off. Too bad I can't force phone mode. Other then that the app would be perfect with a dark mode and a way to quickly refresh/sync.

Downside: tags are not uploaded as hints onto mobile device, but only stored locally as you use them, and the local ones also get lost if the device is switched off, which is very inconvenient if your tags count in the hundreds like mine. Still, the best app for pinboard I've used so far, it has everything else, hence the 4 star rating.

This is a great app, though with the current version for some reason I can no longer sign in on my stock android Nexus 5X device. Entering my credentials simply errors with "The username or password isn't valid. A Pinboard account is required. Please try again.'

Save your money on other expensive Pinboard apps for Android. This is the definitive app: well supported, great features & material design. Thank you!

Works well and is reliable but on a tablet the screen is mostly white space, and the bookmark titles and descriptions are difficult to read. Still usable but that is something that needs fixing.

Every time I try to login it tells me my user and PW are invalid. I do have a pinboard account, I changed password thrice because I thought I misspelled it or something, I tested the account from both mobile and laptop -it exists and it has all my bookmarks uploaded. What's wrong with the app? Please help

This is a great app. I wish it would retain the authentication token after reboot, but I can see that is also a security risk. ________________________________________________________________________ I occasionally have trouble authenticating with my moto G 2nd gen running Marshmallow. The app seems to record the check mark key as part of your password when logging in. I have to hit the back key, hiding the keyboard then tap the done button. The app also retains your password for about an hour. edit: It is 90 percent user error, not the app. I reboot my phone each evening and have to log back in. When I hit the check mark, the pinboard client makes the keyboard disappear and then I hit "submit". Everything else was me being an idiot.

Think I found a bug: for some reason, bookmark list takes only half of the screen, showing a webpage view on the right hand side. Perhaps this was intended, but without being able to zoom/swipe to either of them, the list becomes unusable :(

Only missing a dark theme for the main view. Otherwise absolutely seamless and without peer in this space.

Use this app on my everyday commute

Thanks a ton!

Thanks!

Nice app for an excellent service (Pinboard). Would be nice if you added a "Sync" button or menu item. I often want to send something from my desktop to phone with PinDroid, but I have to go into the Settings to force a sync or wait at least 5 minutes. Not a huge deal, but a nice simple thing to add.

While adding a bookmark, switching to another app and back, will reset all fields. Why is this being done? I don't understand what that's useful for...

Tidy, attractive, simple app that integrates nicely into the android share menu. Very happy with it. My only suggestion, echoing an earlier review, is a manual sync/refresh using a pulldown action, instead of going into the settings menu.

Simple but effective. Latest fix to read later is very welcome, thanks.

Excellent app

nope

It's a great mobile interface to my pinboard. The only issue I have is forcing a sync. Pulling down to sync would be a great addition instead of having to go into settings.

I like it so far but it really needs a refresh option. If it updates with that, it'd be an easy five stars.

It's very annoying; as I'm only signed in with one account
