I found DeskPins to be somewhat confusing. I do not feel as though there was enough visual content to support the idea of what the product actually does. I do like that it is a free application which may make someone more apt to try it.

It's good for multitasking on windows OS, however some of the cons such as not compatible for old versions, windows vista or other older OS. This software is a great multitasking tool to prioritize task by pinning it. In this time, I don't think anyone might be using older version of windows below windows 7, So, it's great tool for those who work on different tasks at the same time...

This can be used for any application topmost. This helps keeps a lot of applications up and available so people have better luck organizing things on their computer. This is a very helpful platform for people with windows computers and such. I think it is not usable for people with macbooks and apple products. Running this application on windows 10 is probably the best bet due to the fact that it is the most updated system at the moment

DeskPins is a lightweight Windows application that can constrain running projects to keep steady over others. Fundamentally a freeware device that brings "Consistently on Top" usefulness to any product arrangement on your PC, DeskPins is extremely simple to utilize, making supposed "pins" to keeps applications on top. When you dispatch it, DeskPins places a symbol in the Windows System Tray that allows you in a flash to empower the application and hence embed another symbol in the titlebar of each running interaction to assist you with keeping it on top. Despite the fact that it might sound a bit troublesome, DeskPins is focused on the two novices and more experienced clients, with a couple of settings to play with accessible in the "Choices" screen.

DeskPins is a neat, simple, yet extremely useful software that allows you to pin certain files or programs to your desktop and access them easily with just one click. Think of it as turning your open programs into "widgets" for you desktop or laptop. This allows you to readily see and pull up relevant information without being overwhelmed by open windows or multiple open tabs. DeskPins runs on older versions of Windows, and is best for those using an older software. It can still perform quite well, and is worth checkout out for its simple interface, and usability.
