One of Most Consistent Performer of App Crashing!!

After conducting what I thought was extensive research and comparisons, including reading more App Store reviews than I probably should, I decided to take the blind faith and "bite the ($10) bullet" to purchase this "Best Pinboard app for IOS". From the very first day of using the app to months later, the *only consistent factor* in the app's performance is CRASH, likely within 1 min at MOST, regardless of - total bookmarks count (from >500 to 30k+) - numerous uninstall and reinstall attempts - functions performed (from simple app opening to view bookmark to search, etc) I can appreciate the time and efforts app creators have dedicated into creating an app and fully understand that issue fixes and problem resolutions are part of the ongoing development and improvement process, which is why I stayed patient, tried a variety of fixes others suggested, waited for app updates over the course of many months. Yet, this app remained true and consistent to its habit to Crash and Crash immediately!! After gathering dust on my iPhone and iPad Pro for TOO many months, right now I'd rather pay another $10 just to remove the app so it can no longer remind me how big of a disappointment and terrible purchase decision I had made (could've bought all the other Pinboard apps with the same $10) whenever my eyes happened to land on the icon by accident. To app creator, I truly hope you can address this issue for all users vocal in their written reviews or the silent others like myself who do not usually write reviews and suffer from poor performance nonetheless. Btw, this could be the cause behind the skewed app ratings, especially since "reliable performance, lack of app crash?!, fast processing speed" are among the most frequently mentioned advantages to the app.
Functional but room for improvement

This is your only option if you want offline reading, and it does that well and has a nice interface. There are a few areas for improvement though. 1. It cuts off long descriptions and then syncs the shortened description back to Pinboard (which has an absurdly long character limit, so it shouldn’t be cutting them off) 2. Reader view doesn’t work with Archive of Our Own, which seems like an oversight since Pinboard actively courts fandom. 3. There doesn’t seem to be a way to star bookmarks within the app? 4. It would be nice if it remembered your place where you were reading, since the offline mode positions it as a read later app. 5. Support takes forever to respond.
$10. Doesn’t support split view. ???

Look, I really like paying for software that’s well designed and maintained and all that jazz. But I feel like there needs to be an upfront warning: “yes, we have an iPad app but no it doesn’t support one of the most important features of pro-level multitasking: split view.” So this is that warning. Probably don’t buy it if you expect to multitask on an iPad with it.
Great App! Constant updates to keep up with pushpin

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I have to recommend the app to anyone using pinboard. It is great!
Doesn’t work

The app seems to go through the motions of logging in and downloading bookmarks and then ... nothing. I’m not sure how to get in touch with the developers. Using the form on their web page to request help has yielded no response. There really ought to be trial period so you’re not down by $10 for a non-functioning app.
Reader view appears not to work

Deducting a star because Pushpin’s reader view (as opposed to reader view in Safari view controller) appears not to work.
Don’t forget to add a tip! Clean quick and full of features

Thanks for the update! I hope this app is kept fresh now. It's the only app that correctly syncs my large number of bookmarks. I've been eyeballing this app for a long time and after I saw the new refresh I knew it was time to snag it. So far I'm enjoying it. It quickly synced my bookmarks and is lightning fast. I don't mind paying a premium price for quality and to support worthwhile services.
Been using for years

Love the app. Nice and simple. Would love to see some UI changes and removal of swiping right to prefill. It doesn’t work well for me and I’d love a button instead.
