UPDATES
What's new.
Everything we've shipped across the Pin Drop apps, website and browser extensions. Latest first. Spotted an issue? Let us know.
All systems operational
Full status →v6.0.14
- Blank map or pin list: Fixed an issue where the map or pin list could occasionally remain invisible after opening or navigating around the app
- Disappearing location dot: The user's blue location dot now stays correctly synchronized with the phone's location permission
- Faster location updates: The locate button now responds immediately when a recent location is available and continues looking for a more accurate position in the background
- Better location-permission handling: Declining location access no longer sends users unnecessarily to another settings screen.
- Disappearing bottom action bar: Fixed the reported issue where the bottom bar containing the add, search and menu actions could disappear
- Smoother and faster search: Search results now load and scroll more efficiently, particularly with longer result lists
- Improved search layout: Fixed scrolling boundaries, kept the empty-results message centered, and prevented the keyboard from covering the list results
- Search now has images: Pin and User profile images are now displayed where available
- Letter-based tags: Tags can now use one or two letters instead of an icon. Suggested letters are generated automatically from the tag name and appear everywhere the tag is used, including map pins and lists
- New Hybrid map style: Added a Hybrid option alongside Default and Satellite in the map section of Filters
- More relevant map preview: The map preview in Filters now reflects the area currently being viewed instead of always showing a fixed example location
- Better translations: Improved singular and plural wording for item counts across supported languages

v6: The Grand Rebuild
When we started to bring Pin Drop back to life, we were inheriting over 10 years of code. Everyone's data was held locally on their devices, so if they lost their phone or the app stopped working, that was it. We moved to a cloud-based infrastructure so your data is always accessible, backed up and secure.
In 2025 we decided the old design and architecture needed to be rebuilt from the ground up. The result is what we have creatively named v6.
Fresh design
The app and website have been rebuilt from scratch, with serious speed improvements.
New base map
We switched from Apple to Google Maps for enhanced satellite cover and improved clarity at high zoom, allowing for more accurate pin placement.
New features
- Custom data on pins
- Territories
- Pipelines and projects
- Improved data management
- Visited and archived pins
Lists have been deprecated in their current form. Existing lists become tags of the same name in the organised section.
Brand new web app
The web app had a full refresh to bring it in line with where we are heading. We will keep improving it alongside the apps.
