I am obsessed with Pinterest, but the newest update is not my favorite. When I tap on a picture, instead of it coming up on the screen, it shows me pins 'just like it'. It is annoying when you are trying to watch a Gif or want to read comments on posts. Don't even get me started on the fact that you can not even read some of the small, blurry writings on some of the Pins without clicking on them to make them full screen. I would like Pinterest to go back to the way it was. Before this review, I would have given Pinterest a 5/5, but now I'm giving it a 2/5.
Cute good I like it but when you try to sign in to do everything but then when you type in your age it says sorry use your real age I do and I try 50 other ages but it doesn't work and so many other people have this problem to fix it now!
I've had a Pinterest account for almost 10 years. I hadn't used it for a few years until recently, although I had accumulated a lot of pins.
So I receive an email from them saying they've removed a pin due to inappropriate, self harming content (in other words, some little troll dobbed me in). I would never pin anything harmful so I can only assume (because they didn't tell me which pin it was) that it was an album cover or something like that. They informed me that I need to go through all my pins (there are a lot!) and make sure there's no more inappropriate content or they'll 'take action'.
So I think, I'm over this, I'll just delete my account. So I do that and receive an email saying 'we'll delete your account after 14 days however, if you wish to keep you account log in before that time is up', except there's a red tab saying 'delete account' under that sentence which of course logs you back in. I then receive a flurry of emails from them saying they're reactivated my account! I finally realise it's some kind of ploy to encourage you not to delete your account and stop clicking on it.
The whole premise of Pinterest is ridiculous seeing as you can have your pins taken down for any number of petty reasons and of course, there's the whole copyright issue.
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
I find Pinterest a great site for pics for any occasion but a lot of the merchants on this site have very low trust scores. Not a safe site to order items from. I highly recommend you vet all merchants to assure you are buying from a reputable site. Trust Pilot is a great source.
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.
I use to love Pinterest! Now it seems too overpopulated with the same posts over and over. The most frustrating thing now I'd just trying to get to a recipe once you find one! Many times the "jump to recipe" isn't there or it is still so over ran with ads and pop ups and I can't stand it any longer!
Worthless to me now!
So pinterest is $#*!. I try to be myself and be confident as a 15 year old girl and post pics of me, sometimes in my swim suits and they always deactivate my account which makes me feel ugly and worthless. Like is it not okay you know. So pinterest stop deactivating my account!
The site itself is amazing, and very easy to use. It's very simple, looks nice, and works the way it should. But the pinterest support is horrible, most of the time they mistake innocent pins for inappropriate content and don't delete the real harmful, or inappropriate content. If your account ever got banned you'll probably never really get it back, because pinterest support simply does not care if your account was falsely banned.
I ordered pots and pans that were called Onisa, I was given a fake tracking number and wasn't able to track in the US. Onisa pretended that it was left at my mailbox on 11/25 at 4:57pm. The mailboxes are on the street and packages aren't left on the street. Furthermore, my camera system disputes that and nothing was ever dropped off. I contacted pinterest and still haven't heard back three weeks later. I contacted the company Onisa and they ignored me. I contacted pinterest and was ignored. Onisa has since kept the ad up but changed the name of the company on the ad. Beware of cast iron pans double set $49.99.
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've been trying to contact Pinterest customer services for weeks & they are extremely slow to respond (if they respond at all). I've been unable to create pins for weeks & have done everything they suggested (cleared cache, re-downloaded app, etc.) & nothing has worked. I've followed up multiple times and have gotten no help at all. Pretty disappointing & may just delete the app since I cant use for my personal business.
Pinterest customer support is a joke. Except that it is not funny when you are a bona fide business that hopes to use the platform to advertise. Their customer service reps jerked us around for a month clueless about why Pinterest is marking our ads as SPAM. They ultimately said there was nothing they could do about it and told us to read the "troubleshooting" page on Pinterest. What a bunch of clowns. This is not a serious company for serious business.
Don't be tempted to buy anything too good to be true from Plutodgx. I paid $40. For a product and was sent a cheap toy purse that was worth maybe $2. They collect your shipping address and phone number. Now I get random friendship messages on my phone.
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.

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.
For me Pinterest is a personal platform, one that you go to in order to take time for yourself and not for the sake of connecting with your loved ones. Because of this, influencers are discovered differently on Pinterest, it is primarily by their content that users identify them, not by their reputation or identity. Indeed, a Pinterest user will not spontaneously search for influencers in the application's search bar but will discover inspiring content created by professional content creators as they use the platform.
All blacks on their commercials. THERE ARE NO BROWN, WHITE, AMERICAN INDIANS OR ASIANS. EXTREMELY RACIST COMPANY!
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.
The amount of ads I see is becoming way too excessive. There's almost as many ads as there are pins at this point. No joke, I just opened Pinterest, and there's at least eight ads at the top, no pins, just ads. Along with this, there's an issue with my boards where some sections will become stuck in some places. This has happened with at least three of my boards, as well as any new ones I make. It's been over a year I've had this issue, and it still hasn't been fixed.
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!
