Description
Featured by Apple in “Best New Apps”! Plan your next trip, mark places you want to go, and remember your favorite spots. Across town or across the world, you’ll never forget another place with Pinbox! Add pins where you are, where you’ve been, or where you want to go. Pinbox makes it easy to quickly record and organize your important places into distinct maps for every activity, occasion, or geographic region. Unlike other apps, Pinbox doesn’t force you to save all your places on a single map. You can make one map for your favorite local restaurants - make another map for your next business trip or vacation - and make another map for errands you need to run this weekend. The possibilities are endless! Pinbox is about you and your places. It’s not a social network. You don’t have to create an account or enter your Facebook details to use the app. Your maps aren’t cluttered with random places bookmarked by strangers. Pinbox is simply the best app for privately bookmarking places that are important to YOU! FEATURES • Simple, easy-to-use interface • Drop a pin for each place you want to remember • Add photos, notes, and other details to each pin • Choose from seven different pin colors • Organize your pins into separate maps • See your location in relation to your pins • Send maps to other Pinbox users • Send pins to Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, or Transit for directions • Display maps in Standard, Hybrid, or Satellite • Save up to 5,000 pins total EXAMPLES OF MAPS YOU MIGHT CREATE • Travel planning • Favorite restaurants or restaurants to try • Customer locations/sales calls • Friends and family locations • Real Estate listings • Favorite hiking/biking trails • Secret fishing spots • Dog-friendly places • Parking spots • Favorite stores • Multi-stop errands • Potential photoshoot locations • The list goes on and on and on… Still not convinced? Here are a few of our favorite reviews… “Pinbox is one of those simple apps that does one thing so well it feels frictionless”. -- Stephen Grassie “The interface is gorgeous - I would say that it looks like something Apple designed”. -- Macaddict “I have been using this to keep track of all the places the kids and I go so they can see how spread out our world is and they can see where all we have gone. Will use it forever”. -- 1Cool Daddy “This app is extremely useful and so simple to use. A lifesaver for keeping track of locations”. -- Davies Photo “I love this app. It is exactly what it claims to be. I have wanted this app since the smartphone was invented. So simple, and so many uses”. -- T1Man Using Pinbox on an iPod Touch or an iPad: Like other map apps, Pinbox uses GPS to determine your location. iPods and Wi-Fi-only iPads do not have a GPS receiver. On these devices, Pinbox provides your approximate location using information based on your proximity to known Wi-Fi networks (when on and available). The more accurate the available information, the smaller the circle identifying your position on the map. This feature is not available in all areas. Known Wi-Fi networks are predominantly in urban areas. An internet connection is required to load maps, look up addresses, and search. Although Pinbox can be installed on iPads, it’s not formatted for the larger iPad screen - it runs doubled like all other iPhone apps. Pinbox is the result of a collaboration between Scott D. Smith and Paul Burd. We sincerely hope you like it!

User Reviews
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.
I have used this in the US and Europe. It’s incredibly easy and very accurate. Mark the items you want to see, open the app, and find your way. I like to color code - restaurants, top sites, second-maybe-see sites, etc. More than once I’ve looked at this site and found that I was super close to a point of interest and didn’t even realize it! I’ve recommended this to many other happy travelers. I know that Google Maps is popular but this is far far better.
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.
Why can’t you update the app so that I can also have landscape view rather than just be able to see the map one way ??? Also posting inaccurate names, it’s and it will always be the Gulf of MEXICO
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 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.
Incredible app - More colors please!
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.
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…!!! 🫶🏾
