Known issues
- HTC Sense 4+ (Jelly Bean) devices have a bug that causes them to only display one share target per app in the stock HTC apps (Internet, Messages, etc). As a workaround, there is a standalone app (PinDroid Read Later) to add the share target and forward it to the main PinDroid app. Note that the main PinDroid app must be installed for this to work.
- PinDroid can be moved to an sd card, however this will cause you to have to re-login every time you reboot your device. Doing this may also cause widgets to not work in some cases.

It makes it really easy to save a bookmark, but every so often it stops being able to sync and has to be uninstalled and reinstalled. I don't totally love the interface for viewing bookmarks but it's easy to use and functional.
Please update the app again to fix a few minor issues. Open source would be great. I could help.
Doesn't sync, hasn't been updated since early 2017. Looks abandoned.
I just want to use share button function and this app just work better than others pinboard apps in store.
This app does not sync to Pinboard and appeara to not have had any updates since 2017
Stops syncing randomly. Hasn't been updated since 2017
Wonderful useful app for social bookmarking! Love it!
this qpp needs a update
Just what I was looking for!
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.
This app seems to be unsupported by the developer at this point. Still works well for saving and syncing to Pinboard but usability on a tablet is bad: screen is almost all white space, and the bookmark titles are obscured. Guessing that won't ever be fixed, sadly. Works fine on a phone for me still.
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.
I love this app and have been using it regularly for... well, a loooooong time. Unfortunately just today, the app can no longer log in (my credentials are accepted, then boom! It just crashes). Anyone seeing the same? Any suggestions, as I really would like to continue using the app asap :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
Suddenly stopped syncing today. The bookmarks added with the app appear in the app but not on my pinboard account and the bookmarks added on my computer aren't appearing in the app... Never had a problem with it until now...
Have to login almost every time I want to share a link. It is quite annoying.
Does exactly what I want, been using it for years now.
Used to work perfectly, does not start up anymore
It's a great mobile interface to my pinboard!
Uncluttered, fast, easy to use
Log in doesn't work😡
Installed Pinkt via F-droid ... That works for now.
I can't trust this.
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
Works well, but the "add a pin" activity doesn't save any state. If you switch apps while you're creating a bookmark or even close your phone for a second you'll lose the description you were writing and all the tags you added. This happens more often than I expected.
