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.

Translations

Coming soon (waiting on API support from Pinboard):

-Notes support (add, edit, delete)
-More efficient syncing (all syncs are full replacement currently)
-Support for bookmark stars
-Support for viewing and syncing your network contacts

Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

This app works well with Pinboard. I also had a problem with syncing and the app not logging in but I e-mailed the developer and in less than a day it was fixed.
