About the app
Obviously, there have been a number of countdown apps on the App Store, but Pinning aims to be different by focusing on the more novel features, while also being a simple to use app that fits in your ecosystem. And honestly, in my eyes, it feels like the right way to handle calendars.
Pinning also prioritizes user privacy, and doesn’t serve any in-app advertising, even for free users. It also has a number of fun app icons and customization options.
