Pinsation: a Pinterest client for Windows Phone

By Rich Edmonds

Should you be an avid Pinterest user, you'll want to check out Pinsation for Windows Phone. Using official APIs, Pinsation provides a seamless experience with facebook connectivity and all the features you'd expect - upload pins, re-pin, like pins, create boards, delete pins, comment on pins, and more.

If you haven't heard of Pinterest before, it's a startup that allows users to find and "pin" useful content that's discovered around the web. Think of an e-pinboard and you'll understand the concept.

Pinsation also enables the user to pin categories, searches and favourite boards right to the home screen for more convenient access. You can download Pinsation from the Marketplace for free.

  • Not available for me in Canada. Lame.
  • ... also not available in the land down under :s
  • Doesn't seem to be available for UK users either.
  • Can confirm not available in Australia. That sucks. :(
  • You guys should check out Pinboarder. It's another Pinterest client that I developed and it was just released, it's not free but it has many features too and it looks pretty good :)

  • Looks really really nice, but not available in the UK?  Will it be heading to our shores soon?
     
  • It should be, the app was just published, so maybe it's still "propagating" :) You can get it here if it doesn't work from your phone : http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/apps/a9d53656-bd63-49ff-8805-defc09bddc2e
  • No thanks. I have OneNote to store information and links.
    And it gets synced to my PC.
  • Not same
  • Not available in Belgium. And I guess whole Europe.. .
  • Hey guys, I'm the developer.  I am going to release it in lots more countries coming up.  I released it in only in the USA to speed up the approval process.  The next update(already submitted for approval) includes the UK and Canada.  I have another update ready to submit that will include Europe and Australia.  I wanted to include language translations for the non-english speaking countries, but I guess that can wait.  Anyways, I hope you will check out my app when it's available in your countries.  Sorry for the delay.
  • Release it for Singapore too pleaseee, its english speaking so no language translations needed :)
  • My wife will be excited to hear this.
  • Sweet. Now I can stop using the official one on my iPod. Doesn't seem to like it very much
  • there's pinboarder, my wife's checking it out
  • Is this an updated version of Pinspiration? The names are very similar, as are the looks. Just wondering.
  • Very nice app
  • I did this I wrote them five million times on twitter am so happy windows phone is jumping off once we get all our apps trust mi android will be in our rear view mirror
  • This isn't an official app. The developer commented a few hours before you.
  • For people who can't get it why don't u all go to windowsphone.com and switch to USA n see if that works
  • Its interesting to see just how quickly all the Queen's countries are quick to whine and complain about the lost glory of the British empir-0h my god I've gone off a terrible rambling tangent again haven't I? My bad everyone, only kidding... =P
  • Don't say shit about my queen
  • Do Gen 2 devices have any problems with pinterest apps? The reason I ask is because on my trophy they're all damn near unusable they load so slowly.
  • Im developing the app on a trophy. Version 1.2 offers a significant increase in performance.
  • Ok cool. Ill look forward to that. I really love pinterest so I'd love a clean fast way to use it on my phone.
  • I used to have pinsation on my Lumia 800 in Sweden. And I loved the app, the best there is. But suddenly I could not logg in. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall it, so I uninstalled it and went to the marketplace and it wasn't there. So I found a link to the program in marketplace and when I get it upp it just says that the app is not available for my device. So the question is why? especially because I used to have it. I used it last yesterday.
  • That is exactly what has happened to me.  Pinsation stopped working, I uninstalled, and tried to reinstall and got the message, "app not found" on marketplace.  If I recall, this was a paid app, and I would really like to know why it is not available, and how this is justified.  Anyone know??
