Pinner for Pinboard

This app continues to *work*, and particularly it gets the job done as far as saving items to Pinboard via the share extension. It’s starting to show its age, though, as it hasn’t been updated for standard features of the last couple versions of iOS or iPad OS. I’d love to to see it get an update (and would happily pay a bit again for a bump that way!).

10/19 update: Now that Pinner has been updated, it no longer crashes on launch, so it’s once again the definite app for Pinboard. Unlike other clients, it doesn’t just punt the rendering of the optimized view to Safari’s Reader stylesheet, it renders inline. Pocket’s distraction free view still looks better, IMO, but If you’re like me and keep your read-later queue in Pinboard, this should be your go-to app. *** ORIGINAL REVIEW Until three weeks ago this was my most used app. Then it started crashing on launch—every single time. Pushpin had the exact same problem, but fixed it this week with an update. The Pinner dev has been unresponsive to queries about this issue. I don't give it one star out of disgust, but because in its current state it's completely unusable. It crashes within 20 seconds of launch unless the phone is switched to Airplane Mode, which of course prevents the downloading and refreshing of bookmarks. An unrelated issue, just for the record: the Kindle version, which doesn't crash like the iOS version, only renders blank pages for articles switched to Optimized view, which defeats the purpose of using a Pinboard client over the Pinboard website.

The last version was good, so I don't know if it's just some new bugs to iron out or what-- this version feels very sluggish. iPhone6s 128GB + iOS10.0.2. Clicking around there is a very noticeable lag (1-3 seconds) to flip between lists of bookmarks, execute searches etc. Also I've found that if you edit bookmarks outside of Pinner, the changes are not reliably refreshed in the app (not even with pull-to-refresh) until you force quit the app and reload it. Often when using the Share Sheet extension, the list winds up showing duplicate bookmarks etc. I hope this can be fixed up because aside from that this is a great pinboard client.
