“Inspiring Ideas for Every Interest”

Benny T.
4/5/24

Pinterest is a treasure trove of inspiring ideas for every interest, offering a visual discovery platform that fuels creativity and exploration. Whether I'm planning a home renovation, searching for recipe inspiration, or gathering travel tips, Pinterest offers a wealth of curated content and user-generated pins to spark ideas. I appreciate the intuitive search functionality and the ability to save and organize pins into themed boards. Pinterest has become my go-to source for discovering new interests and fueling my passions

“Lobster tales christmas 23”

Jeffrey M.
3/7/24

Ordered lobster tails on pinterest Christmas 23. Never heard a damn thing. Money was taken 2 days after ordering from my bank account. Still to this day 3/7/24 haven't heard a goddamn thing and yes I am pissed. Pinterest seems to be a place where criminals can play their games. Pinterest needs to do alot better at policing their website. In my book pinterest sucks real bad!

I bought a pair of shoes from a merchant showing Clark shoes. When the shoes came three weeks later, they were definitely NOT Clarks. They were some weird sewn together red shoes that did not have a size,no brand name and were way too big. No way to send them back. Pinterest claims to not allow misrepresentation of product but that's a lie. The same shoes are all over the boards, even though I reported them as misleading.

Pinterest literally feels they have the right to tell people how to run their websites. Launched our company on 9/7/23, Knock Off LLC, a cough suppressant. We have everything on sale for the first month of Grand Opening. Pinterest tried to force up to remove the sale status from OUR website. Wanted us to change "Refund Policy" to "Return Policy" on our website. Claimed broken social links, we have none. Bottom line, Pinterest is not a governing body and therefore has no right to tell American's how to run their business, online or otherwise. Not to mention, they're incorrect. Check our site for yourself. There are always other options and Pinterest doesn't have the only game in town. They literally have a holier than thou attitude and I for one will no longer succumb and bend to the will of Social Networks. They DO NOT run this country, we do!

Tip for consumers:
Run far away from Pinterest

Until recently i have had no accusations of a breach of community standards. Suddenly there is a torrent of breaches? Why? One was regarding a pin of ethnic music. I cant know exactly what pin because the links for you to review the said pin take you to the file it was in, but doesn't identify the exact pin ever, which has been the same for previous accusations of breach. Since everything was just foreign music in that file, what exactly went against their standards? Is it because the music wasn't english or American? Racist? Its impossible to talk to anyone no matter how hard you try, and if you ever get an email reply, it quotes a link for their community standards which is completely irrelevant to my links, because I only save the occasional recommendation pinterest send me! If they had a problem, it was a problem before they recommended it to me, so th iney should never have offered it!

Really enjoy this app. Always the most incredible ideas to share with others and uplifting quotes and images that gives us a new outlook for us to try. I always find something to catch my eye and so many different types of expression that is the beauty in the eye of the beholder. Great app and really easy to install and get started on your ideas from hairstyles to tricks and clean pots and pans... enjoyable experience for me

This website is Good And Horrible...They have members coming on there loading up pictures that others think is fine to pin on they page shared...But once you share it they come after you and take down all the pins and threaten to take your profile because of this B.s.They should go after the person who uploading these pictures on this website! Not the person who is sharing the pin...This website is to sensitive and need to grow the Hell up! And find a better solution and banned the members who bringing this b.s on this site...

I am 48 year old and for over 10 years I had been using this App. I noticed too many videos instead photos. Too much ads. Not what I used to love from this site. My account was closed and I sent an Appeal for Age Verification and this is what I got, (Based on your appeal materials, we are not able to confirm that you're old enough to be on Pinterest according to our Terms of Service so we have decided not to reactivate your account). I hope there is another app similar to what Pinterest used to offer.

Pinterest makes it easy to swap pins and ideas with educators across the globe and to help keep lessons fresh and exciting. To do this, as well as connecting with existing contacts, I can search for educational content and boards, and follow those educators that inspire me and will be a good asset to my classroom.

They will shut you down with no explanation.
Used Pinterest for affiliate links to my channel and they suspended my account without justification. It's all ai and there is no one to discuss or reason with. This is the worst platform I have here experienced.

They are constantly deleting pins stating that it's in violation, HOW when they are on site "to pin" they are "regular" none violent, none harmful in any way and I do not have "secret boards"! This never used to happen and I've been pinning since the nineties, it feels harassing. If they have issues with pins on their website remove them from the people who POSTED them initially.

They deleted my entire account once and I had a conniption as I pin as a form of therapy, I see peoples accounts that are disgusting and filthy? Anyone can see mine and know I pin "normal" things.

Tip for consumers:
Customer service needs to refrain from freely deleting people’s personal accounts etc.

I have (or rather had) so many boards I use for work, which I can't access now. My account was deactivated for unknown reason. I never post anything on Pinterest, so can't see how I violated their rules. Wrote soOooo many times to them, probably over 100 messages... guess what...no response, non at all. Why they even bother adding pop up message "Contact us if you have questions or would like to reactivate your account" if they do not plan to respond. Really hope someone will contact me and this review could be change to more satisfactory.

Every other day Pinterest stops loading and shows the error/no internet screen from the laptop, and VPN is needed to use the app smoothly on phones too. I shouldn't have to reiterate as to why this is incredibly infuriating. Please work on your servers, Pinterest used to work completely fine just months back- and ps: no it's not my internet that's the problem.

Pinterest is misleading. They charged me for 1 ad for a year on a product I only gave them trial authorization to use. Then insist on keeping my money I never reinitiated these charges but each time I reposted the photos with the same title they charged, 50, 25, 35, etc. Do not trust them since I started they sent 3 emails that look just like their constant junk mail. They charged me over $150 for a shirt advertisment that they knew was not connected with an active Etsy account

Do not use pinterest for advertisment

The one thing that I like about Pinterest is that when I find the latest ideas in food recipes Pinterest helps me to get a copy of the recipe, so I don't miss the new trend and other variety that you could add to meal options for every day meal planning.

I used to be able to scroll through videos all day. Now I can't because when I tap on a video it just doesn't play ever or it just shows pictures since it has been updated. Worst website ever.

The new birthdate requirement is nothing but shameful data mining. Pinterest has no business requiring someone's personal information as a condition for use. In 20 years, we're going to look back at these unethical practices and wonder why we ever let companies get away with this bull$#*!.
