Personal Experience with Pinterest as a business person! Pinterest is only for Spammers! Not for professionals. Any one can get jelous of your growth and tell pinterest its Spam and they will suspend your account. Without verifying!
Its a platform you cannot trust!
I loved Pinterest and then it changed and changed. The latest change is awful. On the left handside of my boards are all these written suggestions for pins in large font dominating the board. As a result the construction of my visual boards is completely wrecked and the weeks of intricate hard work to display them artisticly wasted. Despite the fact thst there is a so-called Pinterest expert to investigate complaints within 5 hours, no response
I finally got myself a Pinterest page yesterday and I'm on the fence as far as what I think about them.
They have beautiful pictures and a large variety as well but I found it EXTREMELY frustrating that you can't share any of their stuff without it stating that it's from Pinterest!
I mean, lighten up a little bit Pinterest! What would it harm if you allowed for some of the pics to not have your company name attached to it!?
Was notified that my account had been suspended for no reason at all and no I can log in, they have not responded to my messages I have sent them and was on hold trying to call there 1800 number to try and have it fixed, I have never written a bad review in my life before today
Since a week I see pins where I explicitly unfollowed boards. I cannot hide them any more they just show up all the time.
Also the home feed is not a chronological any more. Every time I refresh the browser I see new pins! And a lot are old and repeat themselves! When I see a pin that I like, but not want to directly pin it on my boards, I will never find it again now. If I wanted to see only random pins, I would use the search function and the pre "prepared" topics like "Architecure" "Popular" etc.
That all is so annoying that I now already start to stop using pinterest :( :(
I contacted the help center, but no reply at all. This was also different a year ago.
I keep redownloading this app hoping for a better outcome. It's stuck on the "Welcome to Pinterest" loading page every time I've re-download it for months. I cleared the data, cache, restarted my phone to no avail. I cannot use this app which is very dissapointing. Pinterest Lite and the web browser work fine, but they're not the original Pinterest app. I don't understand why it's not working on my phone anymore, it was working just fine some months ago before I uninstalled it the 1st time.

It is a shame to see so many creative people wanting to share their artwork through a website pick this one and then everyone has issues seeing it sharing it and enjoying it.
One star. Saved by your content which can be seen elsewhere on the internet as people have left.
Have been scam by buying some market product of 81,000 usd with them, any time i want to request back my funds they always come up with one story or the other that is how they ended up closing my money for the bad items and it was a shock to me i could not even believe my eyes when it happens i have to cry out to a friend that ask me to contact this agency {fiaoffice.com} they are the one who help me to recover about 94% of my funds back so i will also like to help others with it as well so any one who has been on my shoes can also contact them as well. So i will adivce any one who has lost one way or the other to please contact them for assistance, good luck for your recovery or your lost funds..
Not sure why my pinterest account had been suspended. It happened all of a sudden when i went on fashion nova website and shared from fashion novas website to pinterest, not sure wtf is their problem. I dont have anything offensive on my account nor have anything with profanity, etc. wth...
Pinterest has changed! You used to get notifications every time someone liked or saved your pin or made a comment on your board, or started following you. Now all you get are these once a day notifications telling you in the shortest description possible, the amount of people who liked or saved your pins, or how many people followed you. It really doesn't show you who they are! And the covers of your boards aren't large like they used to be, they look kind of squished. There have been alot of changes! I just liked it better the way it was!
Cleaned out my playboy pics after years of it being acceptable photography art. 3rd suspension in 6mo.'s after new review "bot" I assume. They won't even prove to me there was a violation of their policy. Going to find an alternative. Free Internet, my ars! FB, Google, Reddit, YouTube, this scensorship B. S. is out of control. GOOD RIDDENS!
My friend Judy introduced me to this website tonight, and it was basically love at first sight. The idea is that you have your own virtual pinboard (or corkboard) and, with the Pinterest application, can pin any picture to your board that you please. The board goes on forever, for as much space as you need. You can have different boards for different interests. Your friends/strangers can repin the image, comment and like whatever you pin. You can peruse strangers' pinboards and find cute new outfits or exciting ideas for hobbies or your home. The site is by invitation only, and apparently it takes time to be invited -- I find that a bit heavy-handed, but it won't stop me from jumping up and down when I get my invite...
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Pinterest several times and nothing is working right. My boards are all messed up that used to be alphabetized. I can't reorganize them because I can't find any any way to do it. Google hasn't helped either.
I even downloaded from Pinterest.com and that didn't do any good either. I am truly fed up with it.

Tried promoted pins. Selected $0.13 per click thru with a budget of $10.00. Low budget because been ripped off by click thru ads before. Some work others don, t. Some use "posers" to boost click thru. Promoted ads never seemed to work properly. Billed for 539 clicks $70.00 (budget $10.00?). No sales or identifiable interest. Kijiji - pay $5-$10 per mo 10-20 click thru usually 2-3 sales. Quit pinterest. Disputing charges Visa says contact pinterest. No response to my emails. Tried email address for pinterest I got from Visa - undeliverable. Tried phone # from Visa 5 times - mail box full. Tried 2nd phone # from Visa 5 times left message no response. PINTEREST RIPOFF.
I initially loved Pinterest as I followed likeminded pinners. Lately thats all changed, if I go to my home page its a mishmash of Images and articles which do not even remotely relate to what I am pinning. Its a landmind of crap and if it doesnt improve I will no longer be using this app.
Hi, it's not fun anymore, too many adds now, I can't see my follower like I did in the beginning they use to be on the main page now I have to go to my own boards now to go to there boards. Also I can't move my own boards anymore, who are these changes benefiting not the customers because I see all the complaints, I want to move my own boards and I should be able to. The help center is not a help center at all. And when they delate a pin they don't always show it which one it was which I think is rude. Well good luck Pinners.
I think that it is a grate app but i am vary pist of it randomly stopt working and was gliching out and inverted coulers and would not let me login and the home page was just the code for the app please fix this problem
Used to be very good, however too many people are restricting browsing with annoying adverts you can't get rid of. I am about to delete it from my iPad.
Love this site. For someone who is visually stimulated and motivated, Pinterest serves up some spectacular boards with stunning visuals. Post your favorites and share those you find.
All I see now is stuff from Huffington post and Buzz Feed no original photos... can't see my pins or even find them. This site use to be fun. Now it's so commercial.
Answer: I warned everyone about what a piece of crap pinterest is and now their true colors are showing. #PinterestSucks
Answer: I was sent a message on May 29th alerting me of my suspension, with no explanation, only that they would be sending an email explaining why. I sent an email to their help desk explaining I was a long time member with thousands of posts, none of which I considered to be against their policy. They acknowledged my email and said I'd get a reply shortly. I have not heard back nor do I expect to. This is not the first time this has happened and I have learned my lesson. They have no regard for their members and their customer service is nonexistent. Never again!
Pinterest has a rating of 2.1 stars from 474 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Pinterest most frequently mention customer service, multiple times and email address. Pinterest ranks 481st among Social Network sites.
