Pinbox - Map Your World Customer Service

Best app I’ve found to plan travel. But it really does need an iPad version. Second thing is that it needs syncing between devices. Some other minor UI updates wouldn’t hurt. It does have a great search engine. It had found every location I’ve looked for. Although, China Beach on BC is not in the US. Planning a trip to Vancouver Island when it’s safe to travel. I’m pinning parks in on one color, dining in a second, and POIs in a third. Great for planning and execution.

Update: my friend just emailed me a map and I imported it into my own Pinbox. How cool is that? I live in the country and like to mark points of interest on our property (springs, camp sites etc.) and have done so with my phone for a couple years now. For a while I've used sophisticated gps apps but this is seems much easier for this purpose. I rode our ATV around today and quickly pinned many of our special spots. I also started a map of all the countries I've been to (limited so far;). My sister and her husband fish a lot I'm sure this would help them mark and find their special spots on the lake. Edit: addition of a few pictures to document places is really going to be handy

I use pin box to document every location that I place political signs during campaigns. Sometimes signs are only a few feet apart or just across the street from each other and it shows individual locations. The best feature is that it documents each sign so you know how many you have places on the streets. I usually do 4-6 campaign at one time and have individual pages for each campaign. No more 4'x6' paper maps and different color sharpies. When the campaign is over I delete each pin as I pick up the signs and know when all signs are up and that puts me in compliance with all local city and county sign ordinances

Taking the family on the classic National Parks vacation, and this app is truly awesome. Went through a separate tour book, but then transferred the points of interest into this app with brief descriptions to share. So much easier than fumbling with the old paper maps, and invaluable to navigating to the highlights. Co-pilot in our van can also actually enjoy where we are, and not waste time flipping back-and-forth between pages of tour books. Wish I could've found an easier way to search for particular points instead of simply zooming in on them on the maps of the National Parks, but this app is simply too great to give anything less than 5 stars.

I love Pinbox! I use it to dorkily map the places where my boyfriend and I have been or shared romantic milestones. It's easy to use, and I get to see my own patterns of movement. It's like a little art project! This app is the best mapping app ever. I could see people enjoying it for routes, road trips, or just visualizing anything you could put on a map (your friends all over the world, every place you've had public sex, whatever)! Definitely get this if you want an easy system for dropping pins. You can create multiple maps, too!

I’ve been using Pinbox for several years, whenever I have 3 or more errands to run. It gives me a great visual layout, so I make a loop of my errands and never need to backtrack. Dedicating different maps according to area or theme (eg restaurants) is another great feature. I totally recommend this app. More features would be helpful to minimize numbers of taps, such as swipe to delete a pin, a preset default for choosing Apple vs Google maps when requesting directions, things like that!

I’ve had this app for years. At least 6. I do a fair share of traveling and I mark every point of interest. Visiting family out of town is an easy example, we do this regularly. I mark every restaurant we go to with pictures. Makes finding them again super easy. Plus it’s just cool to see the places I’ve been. There’s not a lot to it which is actually nice. It’s easy to use.

Brilliant app! Just wow! I think everyone should have this app on their phone! I had a lot of links of restaurants in NYC saved! But when I went there, it was so irritating to open every link and check the address to see which restaurant among those I was closest to! I actually even thought of telling one of my coder friends to develop an app for this! I wanted to make sure that there isn't any such app and googled and found this! WORTH EVERY PENNY! Highly recommend this to EVERYONE!

I love this app but the 400 limit per map and 2,500 total limit is a real setback and will ultimately be the reason I move to a different app should these numbers not increase. Also, the map isn’t touch friendly like iPhone map is. If I touch an information pin on iPhone map it tells me what that location is. I can’t do that or search addresses on this. Love the app overall though.

LOOOOOVE THIS APP. I originally downloaded it as a tool to help with my family’s cross country relocation, and Disney!! I out it on the shelf for a couple years, and then had to dust it off when I got a job that requires me to travel to people’s homes throughout the county! It helps me plan my day, to see where I am in relation to each stop/the office/hospitals/gas stations with the best prices, etc…!!! 🫶🏾

I REALLY like this! I wish only that there weren’t limits on pins, and that I could combine maps. (For example I have restaurants pinned on one map and points of interest on another but would like to combine them into one.) I’m also not looking forward to re-doing all my pins when I have to upgrade to a new phone. That’s a big bummer and would have been a deal breaker if I’d known about that limitation before using the app.

The app is pretty good, but why can I only save 6 photos for each pin I drop? I use this app for marking locations for photo shoots and I usually take a ton of photos for each location so I can remember all the spots I pick out at each pin. Can you make it so 12-20 photos can be uploaded per pin?? That Would help a lot.

I love this app, and use it all the time. You can create folders for different stuff like. My folders Shopping, Entertainment, Restaurants, places to visit, Etc. The perfect app to get you where you’re going no matter where you are. Other similar apps don’t let you create folders, which makes your locations hard to find if you have a lot of them.

Stumbled upon this app while looking for something to help me map out gyms/stops in Pokemon Go in my rural area. This app ended up working perfectly for my needs. Looks like it will also be useful to map out points of interest for vacations, etc. as you can use multiple maps for different purposes/points of interest (i.e. Map for Pokemon Go, Map for vacation, etc.)

I love this app. I use it on weekends when we have a lot going on around town. I also LOVE it for trips. I enter in the hotel, airport, restaurants, and other points of interest and it easily shows me driving directions without having to reenter the addresses over and over. It also gives me a great aerial overview of where I’m headed throughout the course of the trip. Thank you, Development Team!

I am a corporate pilot and go to many of the same cities with some frequency. I save mostly restaurants and hotels but also parks and other places that I enjoy revisiting. This app has not been updated in 3 years as of this post and I hope the developer picks back up with it, please! I’ll gladly pay going forward as Pinbox is an essential part of my travel toolbox.

Thank you for developing and improving Pinbox! I love the feature that lets you add photos to your pinned locations. Sending your maps to others is a huge bonus too! I find this app to be both useful and fun. It's nice to look back at where I've dropped pins and is super helpful when planning future trips! Great app with so many uses!! :D

I finally started doing more traveling abroad this year and this app has been my buddy. I love being able to pin areas I've visited and then visualizing the global map as a whole to see where else I need to go. I think it's helping remind me to live and experience things day to day and not take life way too seriously. :-D

I’ve been using Pinbox for years now to organize all my visits to cities around the world. I love being able to see all my points of interest in one view which makes it easy to plan my day around eating, shopping, and museum visits. Pinbox is an essential tool for my travel needs.

I couldn't believe there wasn't an app to save multiple pins on a map! or do it well... I finally came across it by seeing a post the developer made in an old thread. so glad because this app does everything perfectly and with the ability to have multiple maps!

I’ve been using Pinbox for years and I was really upset when I had assumed that the app wasn’t going to get updated anymore. I’m happy to see that their back and I can use it on my iPhone X. Super intuitive and way better than google maps for exploration. I wish I could support the app further in some way.

It’s a nice simple map pinning app. I like that there’s no social media requirement to it. I would like, however, to be able to search my notes, say for all the Indian restaurants I’ve marked or all the apartments I visited on whatever date I’ve noted.

This app is the best I've found for mapping multiple locations. I especially like that you can have multiple maps - I make one for each city that I visit. Great for foodies or bar-hopping and getting around unfamiliar places like a local.

Best app out there for dropping pins on places you've been. I do a lot of traveling and I love to have an overview of the places I've been by looking at a map full of pins. I hope that in the next update they allow for more pins in each individual map.

It's a lifesaver! So easy to use. When I make changes, easy to send back and forth from iPad to iPhone. Great being able to see all of my work sites laid out. Nice having addresses handy while I'm on the road. Would literally be lost without it!

Have used this app countless times as a rural mail carrier to be able to find out what house is what. The pin drop feature is infinitely helpful and I thoroughly recommend this app to anyone and everyone who makes any type of delivery somewhere.

I’ll keep this short. I absolutely love this app and I’ve been using it for a couple years now. However, I’m really just waiting for the ability to sync between devices. In my opinion, that is the last big thing it needs to be perfect.

This application is great for marking locations while traveling or planning a trip. Love the ability to share maps with friends and family. Hopefully sharing active maps will be available soon. Keep up the great work.

Using this app everyday for work, I do deliveries, I would like to have an iPad version, so it covers the whole screen not just part of it because its application for the phone, really want to see iPad upgrade. Overall amazing. 5 stars.

This is an amazing app, way better than google and apple. I have been using this app for coming on 2 years now. I love how easy everything is. I only have one problem. I wish that we could make an account so that are pins could be saved. My old phone shut down on me, so I got a new one a downloaded this app again, but had to repin everything. I had some pins saved for hole in the wall restaurants I wanted to find again. So if there is this update I will change my review to 5 stars. Otherwise this app is amazing!

Hello! I love this app!! However, I have one suggestion: Please include in a future update the ability to rename individual maps. You can rename the pins, but you can’t rename the maps. Thank you!

This is really great as-is for marking sites of interest & noting specific places for upcoming trips. I also think there should be a way to drop a pin for a Contact, then this would be my all-time favorite app!

This is a great app. Easy to use- works as its supposed to- quick efficient interface- and has most all of the options and functions you might need it to to have- exceedingly usefull!!! Thanks👍

I use this for work and we schedule installs. it's good to map out your customers and group deliveries or installs according to one's near each other. it needs the ability to update cloud sharing across multiple accounts. so I don't have to keep sending maps to my workers. it would be nice if they can always have a cloud updated version. other then that it's been a nice app for recreation places. like picnic spots or climbing camping spots, etc.

This app rocks! Thank you for making it easy for me to visually see all my stops and mark new ones. I don't have to get a headache trying to find locations from a piece of paper.

I love the way this app works. I’m not sure how old the maps are, or how if they are updated regularly. There are many locations in my area that are still just dirt where houses have been built.

This productivity app is one you don’t want to be without. It serves an exactly purpose and it performs well. Exactly what I needed. Shame on big tech for missing the ball where this gem shines.

This is an incredible app. I use it to keep track of accounts that I visit for my job please please please please please add the ability to import pins from a csv.

Very useful for trip-planning! My only complaint is that the app won't update between my iPad and iPhone. I wish I could see all my maps on both devices.

I've been using Pinbox for over two years and it just keeps getting better and more useful. The new features (colored pins, photos, and map-sharing) are awesome!

Love it. Makes family vacations easy and protects our privacy so we do not need to give our vacation plans to Google

Great for saving locations hiking or fishing - I can have a whole library of maps by area. Add notes about location, time, catch etc.

All this data I’ve have stored in your app and located on my phone yet I can’t use the search bar on the phone to locate any of it. That would be wonderful if I could do that.

This is an awesome app! I love how practical and useful it is!!! But I would love to see it be usable on iPad. It makes a great app for projects and iPads are used a lot in projects. Thanks

After trying so many travel pin apps, this is the only one I liked. Just a couple suggestions: It would be awesome if we can edit/change the address or GPS of a pin. Also, the ability to make a list within a list. There's just so many pins that can be made within a city sometimes, let alone a country. Other than that, the app is well done.

Wish the pins limit be 5000 or more for all maps together Phones are much powerful and can take it now… Best app for the task! Using it everyday!

It's a great app but you should be able to import contacts from your list and have some way of saving the ones you've created.

I like to keep track of interesting stores and restaurants. Pinbox let's me do just that! Some places don't have websites or are hard to find again and this app solves that problem!

Well designed app

I've tried a bunch of apps to pin multiple locations on a map and this one's the best. I can include information like photos, notes, URLs, phone numbers etc. It is easy to use, its UI is clean, and it keeps to the point. I also have been able to learn locations on a map, too. I like it for remembering one town from another on a long road trip. I can also get directions directly from the app. I saved several customized maps for different countries. It does a good job if that, too, so if you want to "bookmark" locations on a map, you found it.

As my pin collection grows, so does the worry of losing them all because of a bad update. Definitely needs an option to export pins with and without all the metadata (including "pinned on" date.) Also second tap on direction arrow should bring "compass view" as defaulted in Apple Maps.

The app is excellent for putting pins at places that I have travelled. I used to use the National Geographic World Map until an update caused me to lose hundreds of pins that I entered. Great communication with the developer assured me that this app was the way to go. It is very easy to use and just what I needed.

If it weren't for one problem, I would absolutely love this app. It was great for a while, but the limit on the number of pins in each map has become a problem for me. I work all over Dallas-Fort Worth and surrounding areas, and I have been using Pinbox to note the facilities I work in, and a nearby restaurants I've eaten at, hotels, retail locations I have used… that was very handy when I went back to a facility, and I could see what was near my location, and read notes about my experience with in the past. The search is great for seeing a birds-eye view of how the places I want to go are laid out. I have been doing this for a couple years, and I've been a lot of places. I have run out of pins on my main map, and I've had to start doing things like moving restaurants on to another map. When I am in the hotel, and I want to see what restaurants or stores are nearest me, it's difficult now, because I can't have it all on one map. I really wish they would just let the total limit all go on one map.

I have loved this app for several years. Thousands of pins saved from jobs done to travel locations to best restaurants along with notes and photos on practically all of them. I recently started having problems with my iphone which was backed up to iCloud every night. Once I restored my new phone from iCloud, I noticed that there was no provisions in either the pinbox app to restore from a backup, nor does the iCloud settings show the app as linkable to iCloud. In FAQ: “How do I backup my Pinbox data? Your Pinbox data is automatically backed up whenever you backup your iOS device to iCloud or to your computer (through iTunes). If your device were to ever get lost or broken, your Pinbox data would be available on your new device as long as you set up your new device by restoring from backup.” I’ve sent two emails to the Developer with no reply yet. Will update this review once they reply. Summary, the app is great, but hopefully we get this backup situation worked out, I would hate to lose at least 10 years worth of diligent notetaking.

This app is so close to doing exactly what I need. I’m always reading about places I want to visit - interesting restaurants, great fishing locations, not-to-be-missed museums- and I want to track them. But I usually read about those places on my iPad and Pinbox doesn’t seem to run on iPads. Even on iPhones, it just uses the smallest possible screen. To make this app great, the authors need to update it to the latest iOS screen use guidelines. Sharing maps via email is ok but clunky-how about iCloud sharing?

There should be an option to add the same location to different maps. Instead of adding it one by one on each map. I have a map for each of my kids. I keep having to add the same location on each map. Instead of adding a location( dropping a pin) and then choosing to which maps you would like to add it to. Thank you. I really hope you can add this feature. It would save a lot of time. And make it more efficient

We use this to show our vacation rental guest places to go, and see. While it works great on our phone, i have no way to give my guests access to my maps, without having to having them download the app, and import a map... so, Its missing two key features. 1. the ability to share collections, one or more 2. The ability to organize collections into groups (sub folders)

Do not pay for this app if you're expecting to use this application on two devices, there is no creating an account, you can only use it on one device. Trying to export your saved locations is a major hassle, I urge you to look elsewhere. App deleted. I'll be requesting a refund too.

A useless app due the developer ‘s imposed limit of 400 pins to a map. I quickly maxed out and can no longer use the app. Don’t waste your time with this app if you travel quite a bit

The idea is great but the app disappeared off my phone and I lost a LOT of pins as there's no iCloud copy. What a waste of time.
