Pinterest App Reviews

Ad Overload. I will preface by saying I don’t mind ads for free apps; and I do engage & click relevant ads often for neat stuff. But within the last couple weeks the newest app updates have ruined the home feed Pinterest experience. I’ve used this app for years YEARS loved it…and have never once thought “wow I may never open this app again” after an update like I did today. Every 4th pin is followed by at least 2 back to back ads/promoted by pins, I counted…closed out of the app and counted again… 3 times. It’s ruined the feel of browsing through fun new creative ideas and slaps you in the face with irrelevant content from advertisers you don’t even want to see. 2 stars because the good content is still there, you just can’t engage or enjoy it with literal blocks of ads per scroll. I’ll check back in the next few updates but if they don’t fix this to make ads more seamless again (or at least less jarringly stacked on top of each other) then it may be time to retire this app for good. Also I NEVER write reviews, this update is definitely a way to kill your business… make the app unusable for long time platform supporters. Along with inundating discussion boards with a copy/paste PR script so obviously from marketing to try & get ahead of increased ad complaints instead of actually utilizing effective UX/I design that doesn't aggravate the nerves.

You’ve become a sellout.. I’ve never made a review before because I didn’t care enough to before. But I have so much dedication to Pinterest, my issues with the updates have begun affecting my attitude for the app. I’ve been on Pinterest for probably a decade and no update has me more upset than the constant refreshing of the home page. I use all the platforms so I know that if you change from the home feed to your profile or to the search tab back to the home feed, the home feed automatically refreshes... when I even open the app sometimes I see a pin right away that I’d pin but for some reason it refreshes!! This is so irritating. Please fix this to wear it only updates the Home Screen if you pull down the feed from the top for a second. Like Twitter. You can’t even scroll through the feed sometimes without it randomly updating. Also the ads Pinterest.. come on. They’re every third pin! I get you have to pay the bills but more often than not your ads are irrelevant to my search. Ads are not helping you. Pinterest was for curation, for creation. Not to be another soul sucking platform for over consumption. And, why is it that when I search one thing my home feed will suddenly be filled with that one search? I didn’t follow the topic, I didn’t follow a new board, I don’t care to see it on the home feed I have sort of curated myself. This has been a lot of complaints and my rating is low so that you get how irritated I am.. I love you Pinterest, rarely change.

LOVE Pinterest, it’s just SO broken. As stated in the title, I LOVE this app. It just breaks constantly while operating as normal. -I have to refresh it multiple times for an hour of usage because it gets stuck and I can’t move anything anymore. Moving pins from one board to another will only move half the pins, boards get randomly shuffled out of order, can’t save the same pin to two different sections of a board or else the second one doesn’t save unless you save it twice, and generally a lot of error messages for normal operations. -The flagging system also needs an overhaul. I’m an artist and I save a lot of pose references. They’re usually “nude” figures but not explicity and constantly get removed for nudity/sexual content when there isn’t any. They can be appealed and reinstated and while most are, I get radio silence from a lot of appeals with no yes or no answer. Some appeals don’t even go through. Some pins don’t get the option of appeal and the one-time links never open properly. -Overall, wonderful app and I would give five stars if it didn’t have so many software issues. They have weekly updates to “polish” with buf fixes and performance improvements, but they need way more than polishing to fix these problems.

Am addicted to this app, but was better before. I love this app and I am honestly on it way to much😅However, I hate that they took away the tried section on pins. We can l No longer post picture or videos in the comments. In my opinion, that was one of the best features. I loved putting my art in there and getting advice and seeing others and giving advice. It’s also fun to see people try singing videos and such. I wasn’t allowed to post and a lot of people are the same way, so that’s a way to share that isn’t actually posting. I understand what issues can occur, such as bad or inappropriate photos, but you can’t really escape that. There’s a reason reporting comments is a thing. Another thing, the home feed is always refreshing without me wanting it to. I will see a pin that looks really interesting and go to tap it but it will refresh randomly without me even swiping down and I lose it forever. Very frustrating. Other than that, I love this app. Edit: each update brings more issues lol. Not the report/edit/delete button on comments is gone. And I keep finding profiles of pedophiles and I try to report but the only option is for spam. I report anyways but I would like more options for reporting profiles like on comments. Still want picture comments back

Real time decay. I’ve been a Pinterest user since 2011 so I’ve seen all of the changes of the app for over a decade. Usually the updates Pinterest made in the past has been for the better and I believe that is why they have been able to keep up with the ever changing social media landscape. However, in the past few years they have gone too far. The thing that bothers me the most is that I never get update about the people I follow anymore. I never seen them in my home feed or my notifications, so I don’t know what they are pinning so it makes following people moot because the homepage has become for suggested pins and pinfluencers. And I don’t my the pushing of influencers and suggested pins I just wish we would also be able to see the people we follow. Getting rid of the follow tab was a bad move. Second, when I search for something it doesn’t show me pins based on what I search but rather it shows pins from topics that I’ve already looked at. As a result, I’m less inclined to use pinterest, because it just doesn’t function anymore. It’s sad because it used to be my favorite social media app with the other’s not even coming close. And not only for me but my friends as well. It was a way for us to bond and share ideas to each other. But now I don’t even know if any of us use it as much. I would love an new update where they correct these things but I don’t see that happening so until then I’m just not going to use the app as much as I did.

Bring back “Search By Board”!!. I’ve used Pinterest for years and love the ability to be able find ideas & inspiration! I mainly use the mobile version of Pinterest because of how smooth and effortless it is (along with the fact I’m always on my phone!) and I find that just searching for terms doesn’t yield varied results, so about 90% of my time I search things and select “view by board” to browse the collections other people have made! Being able to see other people’s “finds” or their own uploads is a perfect way to fill up my own boards. If I wanted to search for a certain aesthetic or look for certain types of recipes for example, how else would I find good boards to follow so that I can see their posts in my feed? However, when I last updated it, the feature that allowed us to search by board on mobile is gone!! I can’t even hit a picture and be able to trace it to the boards it shows up on. All the pins on my main feed I can’t even see where they came from. I expand my results not by hoping Pinterest’s own algorithms pick up what they think I want to see, but by what boards and pinners I follow!! Please bring this back! The fun of Pinterest is in cultivating all kinds of resources or pictures in one place, what good is that if I can’t even have the option to view the ones others have made?

Good in the past, but terrible updates!. I have been using the Pinterest app for years now, and these updates may be terrible enough for me to finally leave. First of all, the stories/slides function is confusing and difficult to use. If I’m ever swiping through content it’s a hassle to get through these stories that often have nothing to do with what I’ve pinned in the past, which brings me to my next point: the algorithm. I am constantly getting both suggested pins and targeted ads that have nothing to do with any boards or searches I’ve made! My home feed is full of ads that I am not interested in with very little actual content, much of which is irrelevant as well. It seems like the “hide pin” feature doesn’t even do anything to improve my feed. To me, it seems like Pinterest is struggling to remain relevant in the wake of Instagram and TikTok by introducing new features and changing up how content reaches viewers, but I think I speak for the majority of Pinterest users when I say that people don’t use Pinterest in the same way we use other platforms. There’s no need for flash and flair when Pinterest is already a well-designed social media platform with a specific user base in mind, and making these changes just interrupts the way people use the app.

HOME FEED TUNER PROBLEM. I have been using Pinterest for a while and have never been able to use the app without there being some sort of bug taking place in the app. For ex., the filter in your saved pins that you can try to use while trying to even use the filter to search always has a connection error. But that’s not why I’m writing this review. I always use the Home Feed Tuner section in the Settings to browse which pins I have looked at. Usually I’m able to click on the pin with no problem since the pins, which you’ve looked at that appear in the home feed tuner are able to be looked at only when they have a -checkmark- in a box next to the compact pin next o all the others which have the same. RECENTLY, it has not been working as something to look at for a history tool because I cannot look at my pins I have clicked on because the box with has the checkmarks automatically placed in them have all my pins hidden, so I CAN’T LOOK AT THE PINS FREELY WITHOUT RE-CHECKING THE BOXES MANUALLY, MAKING IT KICK ME OUT OF THE HOME FEED TUNER SECTION AND UPDATING MY FEED WHEN ALL I WANTED TO WAS TO LOOK AT THE PIN. I used the HFT as something I could see a pin I clicked on before the Pinterest refresh could get to it. Now, when I try to see any pin I have to check in the box myself, making it tune my feed so that I see less pins like the one I checked in just so I could see it closer. Hopefully I could get some help on this topic so it could go back to being browsing history for me.

Just a couple things need fixing :). I absolutely love Pinterest, I’ve used it for years. The only reason I’m giving it a 4 instead of 5 stars is that recently (meaning a few weeks ago) I realized I can no longer “try pins”. At first I just thought it was a little glitch but seeing as other people have updated the app and said the option is gone is kind of a bummer. I mean, Pinterest is an idea app and a diy place where you share your ideas and how they turned out with other people. How are you supposed to show how it turned out without the try pin? I’d love it if this feature came back. Another thing that disappointed me was that I saw another review saying the sections inside of boards were taken away? Of course, this review was left a year ago but still, I’ve been hesitant to even update my Pinterest in case this is still happening. I use sections inside all of my boards because sometimes I’ll have a board for my house but I section them off from bedroom, bathroom, etc. and it’d be really difficult to find what I’m looking for if that’s taken away. Anyways, I know I just went on and on about all the things I wish could be fixed but honestly it’s not that much and I really do love Pinterest, it’s my favorite app. :)

STOP UPDATING THE APP😡😡. ok. usually when apps companies update their app it gets better. NOT PINTEREST APPARENTLY!!!! i cant message people through the app anymore, nor can i see my followers. and some of my friends and family that i follow it wont show. not even when i search for their profile. there are also many different dumb unnecessary updates, like when i post something it wont allow me to turn on comment. i’ve asked others if these things are the same for them- and surprise surprise it is. and on top of all of this it randomly turned my business account to a normal account messing up a lot of stuff i’ve been working on for months. i’m 16 years old and the terms of service says that if you’re 16 years old or older you should have control over this stuff. also they do random updates where it completely messes up my For You to just random stuff like makeup, jordans, and nail stuff, which i have never saved or marked as my interests. which there is nothing wrong with people who like that, i just personally don’t like that stuff. so why is it being recommended as the default even though i never saved anything like that? and if mark as “irrelevant to me” it still shows it. so i doubt customer service will see this, but please fix these problems. and fix them the right way. i really do love pinterest but every time they do something weird to it i start using it less and less.

Love it but this update??. I love pinterest, I have been using it for years. One of my favorite features was that I could look at pins related to specific boards on the homepage. Why did ya’ll think it was a good idea to swap it for a “watch” section. Not every app has to be like tiktok. The watch section is LITERALLY tiktok. If I wanted to see those videos I would go on tiktok but I don’t because I come on pinterest to look at pretty pictures. I understand some people might like it, but it was just fine the way they showed up in the feed amongst the normal feed instead of having a tiktok only watch section. PLEASE bring back being able to swipe over and see pins related to specific boards. You do not need to be tiktok #2 EDIT: I’m glad to see you brought back the “more ideas” tabs. I wrote my last review in anger after seeing the update because I don’t like change and loved pinterest as it was. I still stand by not liking the watch section. I also don’t like that when you click on a video it brings you to a video scroll feed instead of the way it used to be. I used to watch some videos on this platform, especially to see related pins, but I will no longer be watching any in dislike of the tiktok like feed.

Weird lasso outline now. Ive used pinterest for years, never had a problem with it, absolutely love it. But just a week or so ago my phone had updated the app and now every time i click on a pin whatever is the focal point of the image gets outlined by this little dashed line for a couple seconds and goes away. I know that sounds like not to big an issue but it seriously obstructs the whole feel of pinterest😅 After a while of clicking through pins it gets extremely irritating seeing it outline something on literally every single pin i click on. I do not need every object in an image outlined. I dont need the focal point of a painting outlined. This doesnt imrove the user experience in any way. This feature could already be accessed before with the little scissor and search icons in the bottom right of the pin, at least then it was in our control and we could choose whether or not we want it to pop up. Ive searched up on multiple sites, looked to see if anyone else had this problem and apparently its been going on couple months now. It wouldn't be too bad if there was a way to turn it off but so far no one has found a lasting solution. Please fix this pinterest! I have loved this app for a long time now but i find myself using it less and less with this new update.

Great app but…. I love Pinterest so much I used to use it everyday until I got deactivated about 2 weeks ago. I emailed them twice and they said they would review my account but 2 weeks just passed so I emailed them again just now. Come to find out, other people are also getting there account deactivated for no reason or for the wrong reason. Also having to spam the life outta Pinterest just to get their attention to get their account back; because for some reason Pinterest just ignores you in this dire situation. I myself got mine deactivated for NO REASON at least it wasn’t explained why it got deactivated. It’s extremely wild that this is happening and Pinterest are just ignoring people who are trying to get their attention to get their account back. I know it might seem like me and other people are overreacting but Pinterest is truly such a fun app, and having that taken away for no reason is so frustrating. This shouldn’t be happening and it should never happen. I know it could be a mistake by bot reviewers but bot reviewers should not be able to deactivate or suspend accounts. Bot reviewers should only be able to report their triggers to a human reviewer and let that human reviewer decide what’s actually happening. Overall this app is amazing but this is the only thing that vexes me, truly. (Sorry if there were any grammatical errors I’m kinda stressed out from this.)

Disappointed with moves away from original product. Pinterest continues to make more changes that move the app further and further away from why I use it: to find, save, and share ideas. I finally decided to write this review because the primary “+” button now isn’t for pins but for Instragram-like “stories”. Now you have to hunt to find the right “+” button under profile to add a pin from a website. Additionally, users no longer have control to edit the title and description of pins. Just notes to self or comments. I used to use this heavily for describing my modifications to recipes or notes on what I’d like to do on a particular project with my wife. The loss of control is frustrating. Lastly, Instagram’s approach to advertisements is anti-customer. I understand the need to monetize, but PLEASE don’t make the interaction so challenging that it “traps” your users in the ad. Two examples of this: 1) you can’t swipe down to dismiss an ad like you do any other pin - you have to reach up to the top-left of your screen and tap on the small back arrow, and 2) swiping up opens the ad instead of showing similar content - so then you have to tap “done” and the back arrow to get back to normal content. Instead, you should make the interaction/navigation similar to all other content. Your ads are “landmines” and I get so frustrated when I tap on one. Doesn’t have to be that way.

The new layout is so ugly. I love this app, and have been using it for awhile. But this new update layout is very ugly, it would be great it you guys made it back to its other layout, this new layout feels pointless, and makes it harder to navigate. Edit: Now on top of the bad layout that still has not been reverted, you have gotten rid of the feature to see what boards pins are saved too, which is an awful, awful decision, as now I can’t find boards I like that help me expand my related boards. So now I just have to find profiles and hope they have stuff I like, which should NOT be how I find boards I like. These updates are ruining the app more and more and it’s making me enjoy it less and less. I could get use to the new layout, but taking away the feature to see boards that pins were saved on is crossing the line, you are making this app a hassle to navigate and you won’t even listen to anyone’s feedback no matter how many reviews and emails you get. I’m almost done with this app, I’ve given it much more time to fix than it deserves at this point and you people don’t seem to care to fix it’s horrible problems that YOU cause.

stolen art, app is going downhill. i've been using pinterest for years now, and i'll start off by saying it's a great app for organizing ideas and i enjoy posting on here more than i do on other socials. over the past year or so, though, almost every update i've seen has been negative. they removed the option to add pictures to comments, changed the layout more times than i can count, and made it so you can't even see the accounts of minors. i get that this is supposed to be a safety feature, but i share an art tips board with some of my friends and it made 10 sections completely invisible to everyone except the person who made it because their account is a minor. also, stolen art is insane on here and there's little done to prevent it. i'm writing this review specifically because i found an account that has almost 20k followers from spam-posting art without crediting the original artist, to the point where it takes ages to reach the bottom of their page when i scroll, and there's no option to report it unless posts violate MY copyright/trademark. pinterest is my main social, and the only one some of my friends have, but i've considered deleting my account because seeing so much stolen art can be discouraging as an artist myself. wouldn't recommend it to people until some of the issues are fixed

Can only tell tech support about listed problems. Pinterest is pretty good unless something isn't working right, but just try to tell them something is wrong if it doesn't happen to be one of the very few problems they've decided to list on their help page. Apparently, Pinterest thinks everything is perfect and any difficulties are user problems because the available options are only about how to use it right. There seems to be no email address, etc. to which to send problems that they don't want to hear about. Well, too bad. Here's a maddening problem: If you are viewing anything that has to do with Taste of Home recipes after a minute or so a T of H ad will appear on the left and a larger one on the right. Together these block out a significant part of the screen. (I'm using an iPad 2 Air with iPadOS 14.2). You can close the ad on the left by touching the X in the upper right hand corner and it goes away completely. However, the larger one on the right simply turns off the ad and leaves a big white rectangle where the ad used to be, which continues to obliterate the same amount of the page as the ad did. There's no way to get rid of the white box. This does appear to be a problem with the app since the ads don't even appear on the T of H web page. Drives me crazy...almost as crazy as not being able to find a way to report the problem!

Open mind. As a retired educator of 44 years I have felt bad about students not learning the “basics”. I am a firm believer in lifetime learning however and have found the internet, especially Pinterest and u tube to be an amazing resource. My hobbies include woodworking, welding, customizing autos, boats, motorcycles, oil painting, silversmithing, etc. no day passes that I do not find something valuable. After camping and hunting for a lifetime I am shocked about how many tips I find to make these hobbies more comfortable or economical. Think about being turned around in the woods or a city. Ask seri and you can get out the most isolated spot. Drive along and see a sign in Spanish or some other language and you can get a translation, The benefits are endless and Pinterest is a wonderful tool. The biggest problem I had with public school students was the question “where are we going to use this?” If you are in an unsatisfactory, dead end job then education is the rescue. Education does not have to be classical academic. It can be welding, home building, concrete work, electrical, auto repair, beauty school, or what ever you are interested in. Pinterest can answer a lot of questions about whether to proceed into a field. Keep an open mind!

GET READY FOR GARBAGE!. Want an app seems worthwhile but is guaranteed to inundate you with garbage on a daily basis? Pinterest is for you! Just when you think you’ve got a handle on things Pinterest’s algorithms will decide you’re really interested in something completely irrelevant. If you want to follow grown-up subjects like art or graphic design Pinterest will make sure you see nothing but fingernail painting and revolting foods. Interested in architecture? Pinterest has you covered with hundreds of pins showing home-schooling plans and dodgy financial advice. Like book design? You’ll see more hair braiding and weight-loss tips than you can shake a stick at! And the advertising! Always on target. Pinterest knows you’re sure to decide on your next car or make other major financial plans on the basis of companies they promote. You’ll see plenty of pins about vacations you can’t afford and products no sensible person would buy. But don’t bother blocking them (or anything, really) - they’ll be back next week whether you want to see them or not. And the support team TOTALLY has your back! Pinterest takes your concerns seriously, with responsive feedback that ignores your complaints, blames you for problems, and retaliates by doubling down on content you’re guaranteed not to love. Pinterest? Might as well be Insta. Or FB. Or nothing at all. P.S. All these problems are worse since I posted this review! Nice way to treat a user!

Used to be my favorite app.. but now i can’t even get into it!. I got pinterest back in 2019 and started a account. i had many memories and boards and things saved. Well a week ago, pinterest deactivated both my accounts since they were linked. I Lost all access to my pinterest, board and saved. i cannot create a new account bc it doesn’t allow you if you are using the same email. now i have nothing. no way to go into pinterest, no way to see my old accounts. my personal account had so many pins and my business account have over 28k followers. i was devastated. and it’s very common. So many other have lost their account due to pinterest newly deactivating accounts. they didn’t even warn me. MY ACCOUNT WAS JUST DEACTIVATED OUT OF THE BLUE. no email to ask me to get rid of pins that went “against community guidelines” or anything. i lost everything. 5 years of pins SAVED 😣 i sent a request for wrongful termination but they haven’t responded and it’s been 7 days. Pinterest was such a positive place where i could save ideas and share ideas, now it’s not what it was like. i’m really upset. i lost my accounts, my pins and my favorite app. if you could somehow create a way to let people sign up for more than one account on the same email, that would be great! or just not deactivate so many accounts. tons of my friends lost their accounts too!

It’s a great app but please stop taking away features!. I’ve used the app for years, and it’s great, but PLEASE stop taking away features. Where you can “try” pins or comment with a photo has been removed, and it’s annoying. One of the original things from Pinterest were that you could “try” things in the comments. Or even just put a specific reaction picture. Seeing people try and recreate crafts and projects or funny reaction pictures feels like it was the point of the comment sections- to discuss the pin. Long story short it’s a feature that shouldn’t have been removed. Aside from that, the updates to the comment sections as a whole haven’t been my favorite. The new “react” feature seems a bit pointless; in the past you could like a comment and it was simple. There was a number of people that liked it and a heart lit up when you liked it. The new feature not only shows other people’s reaction in color- it only changes to “loved” or “helpful” in a dull color, which makes it really hard for people with poor eyesight, dyslexia, etc to discern which comments they have reacted to (since they are already in color) The helpful option as opposed to the loved option makes sense, but it seems more trouble that it’s worth. In short, the lack of commenting with pictures and the reaction mechanics need work. Otherwise, it’s a great app.

Used to love it. This used to be one of my favorite apps. I got my husband hooked on it as well. But now it seems that ads are taking over. Too many buyable pins that have nothing to do with anything I’ve ever looked at or saved. And way too much pornography for a site that claims they don’t allow it. I highly doubt that a picture of a naked woman with her legs spread and that links to a xxx site is considered “art”. I agree that in artistic instances nudity would be acceptable, but on a site that I am supposed to be able to hand my phone over to my child to play on, these things shouldn’t be on there. I get that it’s the same risk you run with using the net, but these things show up in home feeds when you’ve never looked at anything remotely close to it. My husband showed me a funny gun meme and as her scrolled through the “more like this” several naked women came up. If the pinning rules aren’t going to be enforced, there should be some sort of family filter you can click on. I’ve also noticed over the past couple days, my husband has a recents tab in his boards page that I don’t have. This is actually pretty handy if I’ve looked at something but didn’t pin. Seems like if I try to go back and find something I’ve seen earlier in the day, it’s impossible to find again. With a few improvements and enforcements it could be better.

Why?! With the ads, no ad free version and now you change the saving options!. I have been so disappointed and frustrated by the ads, especially the video ads! First people who have visual problems there should be a way to at least turn off the motion of the ads, like an accessibility feature! Then before I even scroll down there are three ads a page if not more! I wish there was at least a paid version for people who really dislike the ads taking over Pinterest. This has almost put me over the edge with giving up on this app. Now worst of all you incorporate an unorganized button in the exact spot as the old save button... why?! The entire point of Pinterest is organizing a catalog of things you like. Why create a board that is unorganized and if it’s really for quick saves then MOVE THE BUTTONS! Leave the normal save button when you chose a board then hit save and switch the new “chose a board” button to the QUICK SAVE BUTTON! Don’t change the entire way to save pins based off of this new quick save feature!! Add a button and leave the original way to save untouched. Please at least create an option to turn off quick save option in settings!! Also a paid version for ad free or at very minimum an accessibility feature for vision impaired individuals for the movement of all the video ads!!! Please, please consider this or I’m unfortunately going to have to give up on Pinterest. Thanks for any consideration.

ALL Ads & Algorithm. NO (real) friends. The Sponsored Pins are out of control. I see sponsored content more than I see my own friend’s post (and I mean face-to-face friends). On multiple occasions the sponsored posts have opened without any intentional interaction on my part; just from my scrolling through the app or when searching for something. But I have to put an effort just to see what an individual friend’s personal activity/recent pins. I feel like a creep. And now I’m getting told “Hire an interior designer from [sponsor]” when I’m just tryna look at a bookcase! That’s too far. I’ve been on Pinterest since it’s was invite only and now it’s overcrowded with multi-level marketing schemes and aggressive sponsored ads posing as real pins. I miss seeing my REAL life friend’s posts, not just what some AI algorithm thinks I want. And what’s up with the pop-up asking “did you find what you were looking for?”, why do you need an answer when I don’t even know what I was looking for? It’s just as uncomfortable as having a sales associate invading your personal space and following you around the store tryna make a sale sell when you’re just trying look around. That behavior is what keeps people from making a purchase or coming back again. Now I’m concerned with how my data is being used. Don’t pull a Facebook Pinterest, I’d hate to see you go down like them and lose the trust of your users.

Listen…idk what’s going on but it’s gotta stop. I have always loved Pinterest since before I was old enough to have an account. My mom would let me scroll on hers and pin things to my own board. I have now had a Pinterest of my own for probably 5 or 6 years. I love it so so much but lately there are just some weird bugs or something that have been making it really hard to use. Sometimes I’ll be on a pin and then the screen completely freezes and it won’t let me go to the next pin. I have to completely shut out of the app which loses my place of where I was and that’s also extremely frustrating. I know it’s not my phones fault because my mom has the same issue. Another thing is what happened to the story pins? I liked how we could tap through each of the slides and go to the next one or whatever. Now it’s like five different videos in one pin that take forever to load. I love watching tik Toks on Pinterest but lately half of them have said audio not available in this region and that is so annoying. It wasn’t like that before. Why’d it change? Now I’m trying to post my own pins again and they won’t show up in the created section of my profile. I love Pinterest but it’s getting frustrating

New update ruins people’s hard work. can no longer check out the videos my sister has created, nor can her followers, in fact we can’t even see the names of the profiles we’re following under 16! They barley exist! My sister has worked very hard on her content, taking over an hour to create a video from start to finish. This new update has taken away the joy of posting videos, people no longer being able to view her hard work and ideas. Even though she is set in business account, there is no point in having a business account when they too (under 16) are revealed with the same consequences. In all desperateness, we tried changing the age of her account to 16+, but in the settings she can no longer even change the age! What?! I am not only speaking from the voices of my sister and her friends, but the thousands of young content creators who no longer have a public profile and have no more motive for Pinterest. I acknowledge that Pinterest is caring for the safety of teens and I deeply appreciate it, but this is not the solution. If there isn’t an update soon, her, along with some friends may cease the use of Pinterest and switch over to a platform such as tiktok that allows her to post all of her ideas and creations which bring her much joy. If you have came to the end, I give thanks for your reading. Pleas to reconsider the update.

Love Pinterest with all of my bones, hate update. Pinterest is the exact thing I need in my 20s to help me navigate what I like, the energy I hope to give off, and the vibe I’d like to curate as a 21 year old teenage girl. Following my nightly skin care routine, I end the day by rotting in bed, listening to the cranberries, and productively scrolling through Pinterest. It’s helped me limit my mindless scrolling on tiktok and it never fails to make me feel motivated. It is with great sadness that I give this glorious app 4 stars. The old Pinterest, let you hold down a pin you wanted to save, and seamlessly allowed you to slide your finger to save, share, etc. the pin; as if you were writing in cursive. However, the new update makes you hold down the pin, then pops up with a half screen of different options that makes you pick your finger up and choose an option; as if you were writing in print. I believe it is Pinterest’s goal to encourage a sense of order, smoothness, and consistency. This new update does not elevate this objective. It’s clunky, it’s unattractive, some (me lowkey) might even say it’s a disgrace. I need the number of the CEO I need the email of the aesthetic team whatever it’s called I need my old Pinterest back she was a sister to me please

Won’t work on my phone. I love this app, it’s amazing, definitely the most useful app I own as an artist and writer. There are so many inspirational ideas and tips I’ve found and I have been using it for years to improve on both. You can create private boards if you don’t want the public to see them, you can collaborate, you can make your own pins and comment on them. And there are SO MANY!! Loads and loads of ideas and inspiration. And if you’re not looking for that, there’s content of anything else as well. There’s truly nothing you can’t find on here. I would give it a five star rating if it weren’t for a huge problem I haven’t been able to fix for an entire year. The app won’t work on my phone, at all! It works perfectly fine on my tablet and computer so I know it’s not just my account bugging out. I’ve searched everywhere for a solution and have tried every advice I have gotten but so far nothing has worked. Whenever I open the app from my phone every pin is an empty grey box. I wouldn’t mind this if it weren’t for the fact I like using it on my phone more than my other devices. The screen is smaller and fits the picture perfectly, I can write notes on pins that I cannot do for some reason on my tablet, or view my favourite ones, and it is overall easier to use. If there is a way to fix this problem that could work I would gladly take it, it’s really an amazing app, I’m just so tired of not being able to use it on my phone.

A huge problem. Me and my friends absolutely LOVE this app. We’re always checking out each others boards, sharing pins, etc. However there’s recently been a huge issue that’s sprung up, and despite looking all over the web, no one has said a word about it. This is something me and my friends are all experiencing, so I know it’s not just me. Firstly, whenever I’ve tried to see my followers so I can go to my friends’ profiles quickly, I’m greeted with that spinning button that just keeps going. They never load, but that’s not the worst issue. The worst part is that some of my friends’ profiles appear to have been completely ERASED from the app? Yet I’ve seen them scrolling and I know their accounts are still active, but they don’t appear in my following. It says I’m following 9 people, but only 5 show up. Their accounts are not private. To one of my friends, I don’t show up for him while he doesn’t show up for me. We haven’t blocked each other. Whenever we try to send each other’s accounts through links, we’re greeted with an error message. I’ve updated the app and it’s still not fixed. Pinterest is a special app for all of us, and if I can’t even see some of my friends’ ideas, it’s just a huge bummer.

I love it but.... some stuff has to change.. I used to love Pinterest. As a baker and writer I loved looking through so many recipes and and different posts. I still love the format and everything about the app. But I have tried to post my opinions in the comments, no bad language or anything and Pinterest won’t let me. People are constantly swearing and typing inappropriate stuff but I can’t post my own opinions. I will keep Pinterest because of my hobbies, but it if uncalled for to not allow someone to post something they want or believe in. People are constantly voicing their own opinions but I can’t. It is not up to you to tell me what I can and can’t say, I understand that it is not totally designed for voicing your opinions but if you have a comment section, allow people to say what they want. Just fix the problem more social media platforms are falling into, you can’t stifle everyones voice, it’s not right. Pinterest is an amazing app for anything else, bakers, crafters, and writers or anyone else with hobbies should really enjoy the app. Thank you Pinterest for fueling my imagination and crafting, for years and hopefully more years to come. Just fix the one issue and it will be a five star app, and Pinterest will be unique from everywhere else people go for crafts and posts and whatever hobbies they are into.

Pinterest user since 2011. I can’t imagine not having Pinterest. I could be without all other websites and social media, but the creative side of me needs my Pinterest fix. I’m able to organize all of my ideas which is great for me because my mind runs 90mph with these ideas every day either way. I love my secret boards. I love trying new things. This year I have a new raised garden bed and redoing my front yard. One of my favorite things about it is that I can make Pinterest my MAIN Wishlist/Registry I don’t have to make a bunch of different registries for events... I can add people to a board and pin things from ANY website. So I don’t have to remember all those passwords for those individual sites. (Example: You’re having a baby and want to have a Target Registry, Babies R Us Registry, Buy Buy Baby Registry, etc etc...) Instead of doing them all separately you can just pin all the products you want from those websites directly to ONE BOARD on Pinterest. You can add your friends and family to the board or you can just send them your board link. They can follow the link and look at everything you’ve pinned in one place and make a purchase. You don’t need to create registries anymore. Everything I need is available on Pinterest. Thanks y’all!

amazing until recently…. i’ve been using pinterest for so long and i spend so much time on pinterest so it’s kinda frustrating because this has never happened before. i upload/post things on my pinterest feed and i never get notifs when someone comments on my stuff so whenever i look randomly that’s when i find them. yesterday i was scrolling through my posts and i noticed i had some comments so i went to go like them and the “liked by creator” never showed up like it usually does. i thought nothing of it and tried highlighting the comment and a message came up on my screen saying “something went wrong on our end. sorry about that.” i replied to the comment and when that person responded to me, i tapped on the notif and it brought up MY post but had a DIFFERENT user name on it when it was MINE. and now whenever i look at what’s supposed to be MY comments, OTHER creators comments show up but again, with MY pictures that i upload. I’ve logged out, deleted the app and reinstalled it and it still continues to do this. i recently uploaded something and when someone commented, i liked their message and the “liked by creator” showed up but it still won’t for my older posts. i tried ignoring it but it’s really frustrating and i hope pinterest fixes this soon. i really don’t want to delete everything and re-upload it or delete my account entirely.

This app needs to fix safety issues for minors ASAP. Overall, this app is really great and I love Pinterest. While for a long time Pinterest was mainly for a certain crowd (almost all adults) sharing recipes, crafts, and similar, there’s been a wider variety of content including memes, fandom stuff, tiktoks, etc. which have a much younger crowd. This isn’t a problem in itself, especially since they don’t interact much due to the algorithms. However, some things about this concern me A LOT regarding the safety of kids. I see a lot of kids posting photos and videos of themselves in reaction to content and this has me scared for them. Not just teenagers, but CHILDREN. Really young children. Ive seen so many times kids giving out their age and location in the comments for everyone to see!!! This is dangerous and there isn’t any way to report this either!!! I understand that there is no way to completely prevent kids from being on this app, but there needs to be ways to prevent kids from posting information and photos and videos of themselves in the comments like they are. The ability to react to posts like this is great if it were just adults sharing recipes, but this NEEDS to be addressed. As someone who grew up on the internet unmoderated, I had to discover the hard way how creepy some people are. I was lucky to not have had anything major but I could easily see some creep pretending to be 14 or something and messaging these kids.

BOOOOOOOOO (these specific things). OKAY first things first i adore this app. i’ve loved it for as long as i’ve known it. however….. some more recent features (or glitches you could say) have made it difficult to use the app & love as much as it deserves. okay now for the nitty gritty things that are not to my liking (AT ALL). when i’m posting pins & my MUSIC STOPS PLAYING. please please please don’t make my music stop i’m begging. pinterest + music = god tier. if you take away the music from that mix everything just falls flat. i’ve used this app for years & have never had that problem so i’m very much sad about this new development. it’s made me cut back in posting/using the app tremendously. now another thing that has made me lose interest in the app (i have loved in the past dearly) is when i post certain pictures (not sure if there’s a correlation in the pictures for it to do this or not) & it will flip it upside down???? or alter the picture by zooming in or something. super funky & took me a while to figure out nothing i did would fix the picture in the app so i had to screenshot the picture the original way & use the screenshot to post. unfortunate loophole i had to use. please please fix these things for your loyal & loving fan, L. please hear my pleading pinterest.

Long-time user but hate some of the updates. I’ve loved Pinterest since a friend got me onto it, it’s perfect for my writing work and image references. I’ve stuck it out through the rough patches cause it’s just that handy. Small things here and there I can live with, but the most recent update has got things going pretty screwy and making it hard to use the mobile app. The most recent update took away the side-scrolling alphabet letter list on the board selection. I have A LOT of boards spread across TWO accounts, and I tend to move very fast when I get on a spree. And when I say a lot, I mean I’ve tapped out at the original board count before and i just keep going up! So you can imagine how time-consuming it is to have to manually scroll through Ever. Single. Board. to find the one I want to pin to. Please bring that back. Also, on the mobile app, the board selection tab while pinning is slippery AF. It’s so incredibly difficult to manually scroll cause the list keeps trying to slide itself closed at the bottom when I scroll up. If I’m trying to access boards not already in the top three selection, just throw the whole list open and keep it in place until the user closes it themselves, don’t let it go trying to close at it scrolls up or not open all the way when I’m trying to scroll down.

Best thing ever. Thanks to Pinterest I can express myself throughout creativity and just art boards and just all these boards that I can make and I can express myself through them I think my favorite two boards is probably my Jesus Christ one and my photography because those are two really important things in my life and this is a really great app for all ages and I do recommend it to anyone who is eligible to have it. And I first got it when I was about 11 and I just got an iPod not a phone but my parents wouldn’t let me have any kind of social media so this was kind of like a social media for me and I very much enjoyed it you can fine inappropriate things on there if you search them up I have never search them up but if you click on the wrong link or something it could lead to something so just be mindful when you have your kids on there it will ask you of like things that you’re interested in just make sure that you are looking over that because there are things on there that maybe you should look over with them other than that it’s an excellent app and in less you’re truly searching for something or you just click the wrong link you won’t find anything bad and I truly absolutely for the very last time do you recommend it to all thanks!

Over all the stuff that I don’t follow but am forced to look at!. I use to love Pinterest. It was my favorite. I chose what I wanted to look at. Then they started changing things and changing things more and more. Made us have to look at their stupid ads and suggested posts. Now it has gotten to the point to where 90 percent of everything is ads and suggested posts-guess what I don’t want to see what you have suggested. I want to see what I want to see-what I chose to follow. There is no way to remove the crap and even if you report and remove the incessant ones, they just add that many more. Here’s a little tip-I do not want to see and have no interest in pins that are in a foreign language and I have to look at them constantly. So I’m really getting over Pinterest. Add in the fact that I can’t see who pins what anymore-I like seeing when the people I follow that I like have pinned something but now I can’t tell because it’s blank where a user use to be listed. Every update it gets worse and I find myself getting on Pinterest less and less. I am quickly losing my interest in Pinterest. They need to go back to letting people control what they look at. I could understand having some ads but the amount of content on my board that I didn’t follow has gotten way out of control. If it doesn’t get any better and I keep getting pins in foreign languages then I will just quit using it. I hope it improves soon. If not then I will stop using it.

Pinterest is the jack of all trades. So I love love Pinterest and I always have!! But I recently got the iPhone 10 max and now it just constantly freezes up when I’m on Pinterest for a while and my phone doesn’t do this on ANY other app or any other time. So I have no idea why it keeps doing this... but it is pretty aggravating. Other than that though this app is the GREATEST!! I come here for- it used to be just for like crafts and food, but now I have come to use it for makeup ideas, for like if I have a khaki jacket and I want to see what other looks and styles and colors may go with it (that matches what I may have in my closet) I go on here for an idea of what the possibilities are to wear with it. I recently used it to find out what kinds of dresses and outfits to wear to a Christmas party.. so you can get ideas and picture yourself in the clothes, you can have a idea of what you’re looking for locally. And of course this is where I go for beautiful quotes to add on Instagram. Or funny memes even to describe super specific situations 😂 you can use Pinterest to find basically anything! Gift ideas, crafts, DIY, recipes, home decor ideas, outfit ideas, makeup tutorials, if you want a hair cut and you are looking for different styles... like you name it and they have it! Oh yea and Starbucks drinks to try!! That’s my favorite!

Love everything except the amount of ads. I love Pinterest so much! It is such a wonderful app that evokes creativity and it is such a positive social media platform. There are many cool features and I love how each person’s feed is now even more reactive to what you click on and view, leading to better recommendations for what should be viewed next. The one problem I have is there is a bucket load of ads! They seemed to have popped up out of nowhere one day and it is almost unbearable. Sometimes I will get so frustrated with the ads that I will stop using the app in that moment. My home feed is probably 40% recommended pins and 60% ads. If you want to swipe to look through pins, you will come across these ads that have a carousel of images within the ad so you have to swipe nearly six times before you can go back to looking at pins. It is really annoying how Pinterest used to be a nice, aesthetic, simple app but now you are bombarded with ads the moment you open the app. It was honestly really disappointing how there is an excessive amount of ads popping up when I just want to scroll through my home feed, but I keep getting ads for brands that don’t even relate to what I am remotely interested in or looking at. I love Pinterest, but I feel like they should fix this issue.

This used to be my favorite app!. Like the title says, I absolutely loved the old Pinterest. The update last year maybe made it a whole lot harder to navigate. I was accustomed to searching for boards so that I could easily follow other people who shared my very specific interests, but now that option has been gone for months! I’ve been meaning to write this review since then, but this newest update from a few days ago expedited it. Another of my main issues is the shopping aspect. In the older versions, it was more geared to crafting/diy/budget ideas. Now, I search for something simple like knitting ideas, and all I get back are shopping suggestions and priced items for sale. And there’s even a shopping section! I understand the need to evolve and bring in new demographics, but I feel that a lot of Pinterest’s original draw and identity has disappeared. Now, it behaves more like an Instagram or Facebook feed, filled with advertisements and shopping. It’s very disappointing to me that Pinterest has become so much like all the other dime-a-dozen social media apps and sites, since I initially fell in love with it years before because it avoided that world I hated. It felt quiet, calm, secluded, like a library or a yarn store, and I could do my own thing with topics I loved across the “board.” I am really, really bummed about all the changes and am considering deleting, which would be a major change. Please, please bring back some of the original features!

I cant see new ideas anymore, it makes me not get on this app like ever. My favorite part of this app was the fact that I could go to explore and find new ideas, hence why I always have so many boards. New ideas would pop up in the explore and i would love it and go crazy looking for new ideas from pinterest by looking through the explore every chance I got but you guys got rid of the explore. Now when i click one pin even by accident i get 50 more pins for the exact same pin. Sometimes It would be one simple recipe of pie and now i have 30 of them everyday. So then you guys created an option where I can not get specific suggestions from what I clicked but even when I unfollow what I clicked it doesnt matter because my feed is literally still exact suggestions from my boards I created. So i feel like i dont get anywhere with this app. I am literally on instagram all the time because I can see different new things not different versions of the same thing especially ones I pinned already. Its fine when im searching for something but after a while I get the point and I get off the app. I wont even bring up the ads. Sorry but Im done with this app. I sure i wont be the last. Your new users dont know what their missing but seeing the same sweater everyday will get boring for them too eventually. Bring back explore so we can see new ideas, stop thinking i want to see 80 different versions of a pink Christmas tree.

Suggestion to the app developers. I love this app for finding and organizing all sorts of crafts, recipes, home tips, etc. but it is really irritating to continuously have a bar popping up at the top of each webpage asking if I have found what I want. Most of the time I am pulling these sites from my own saved pins so yes, I have found what I wanted because that’s why I use your app, to find what I have saved here. That, and when I am choosing a pin from a search I notice that this question bar loads before the page even loads and takes up part of the page. At that point it’s just annoying to be asked if I found what I wanted because I can’t see the webpage yet and certainly don’t know what is within the page yet to know if I did indeed find what I wanted. Please consider altering how and when you ask your users if they found what they wanted. Maybe the pop-up could be altered to only pop up when a search from the home page is done. Also, maybe change it to pop up 30 seconds after the user clicks a link so they have a chance to see what is on the page before being asked for feedback. Overall, I still love your app and use it all the time. I just want to stop seeing this pop-up every time I open a link I’ve had saved for years. Thank you.

Explain?? someone??????. Imagine your system being THIS bad that I literally have to try and contact you guys through here to re-activate my account that had been suspended with no good reason. I’ve tried, tried, and tried, to gain access to my account for atleast 2 days, trying to repeal “my violations of hateful activity”. WHAT😭 All I’ve had on my account was silly screencaps and memes. Why are my pins STILL up even when you suspect my posts were being hateful? Isn’t that the whole reason for suspending my account? Because of my pins?? Before banning my account, you’ve given me a warning for one of my pins being “inappropriate” but later had reinstated it. Why even bother taking it off in the first place? Not to mention giving ME a warning for pins I saved because they somehow contained things that had gone against your guys’ policies. Why am I being punished for saving them when I’m not the one who created them? If you see a post that supposedly goes against your community guidelines, take action and don’t let it linger. People will assume that the image or video is appropriate for the website, BECAUSE IT WAS POSTED AND ALLOWED. but suddenly, they get warnings because they saved it? I’m sorry, I love this app, but it’s really frustrating when you’re banning innocent accounts when there is actual gross pins that have broken every single one of your guidelines, and they’re scot free. I suggest not relying on ai if that’s what’s causing this

Driving away your users. The new policies and using ai to monitor the platform is causing so many people to either lose their accounts from faulty reports or consider leaving Pinterest entirely. The new CEO wants it to be a shopping site which isn’t even the reason why Pinterest grew so popular in the first place, and now there’s an insane amount of scammy ads which just makes it difficult to use. You don’t have to be experienced in marketing to understand that frustrating and ignoring the needs of your audience is actually gonna cause you to lose money as a company, because people will just end up deactivating their accounts if they haven’t been auto-banned already. Just from taking a few minutes to read through the r/pinterest subreddit I found so many people who are struggling with the exact same things I am. And I mean HUNDREDS of people talking about how completely normal, safe, appropriate pins they’ve saved have been removed because, guess what, ai can’t correctly or accurately tell the difference between normal/sfw and explicit/harmful content. Not that the CEO cares though since he’s been deleting people’s comments with complaints on Twitter. If things don’t change for the better, chances are Pinterest will lose a lot of users and therefore lose revenue from getting too greedy, which I’d hate to see because I used to love the platform. Stop relying on tech bros and ai systems and start actually caring about the people who support you as a company.

It’s getting worse. So I’ve been having issues with product’s constantly pushed in my face with every single art piece that pops up but whatever I will live until I figure out how to fix that or it get updated out. I’ve run into a major problem for me. I can’t share my account and it is basically in forced ghost mode because of the new age policy and what not. I was trying to make a colab bored with a friend and every time she tried to join it would say it didn’t exist. I tried to fix it with no luck and I then went maybe my birthday is wrong and that’s causing me problems so I go and have a look. It says a day in May of 2008. My birthday isn’t in May and sure as heck isn't 2008 I’m older than that. My birthday had been set when I made the account a year or two ago and had been correct but guess what dear old Pintrist goes and does that reset my birthday and now want me to show them legal documents to fix it. I’m not showing random people my legal information like my birth certificate just to fix the age that they reset. I’m running into constant problems and it’s really sad because I love this app but can no longer use it as easily as before. Sorry for my long rant just wanted to share my thoughts on the new policy and how it is causing me more harm than good. TLDR: Pinterest wants to see a birth certificate to fix the issue with my age they caused.

I forgot something in my last review. More often than not, when I scroll down a from a post now to find similar items, I don’t, instead I find posts similar to another completely different board that I have, or just something I would never save all together. I thought the idea of scrolling down was to find similar pins as it used to be, I guess that’s wrong now?? And one more thing! Why does Pinterest keep deactivating pins! Almost everyday for the last year Iv had Pinterest send an email stating they have deactivated one of my pins for violent or inappropriate behavior. I always submit an appeal and you know why? Most of what I save is art and or photography. I don’t save any nudes or violent acts, so I kept wondering why my pins were getting deactivated so I started trying to use the “one time link” which btw doesn’t show you pin if your on an app on your phone. Either way I would get some idea of what pin was being deactivated and look out for it once it was released again. When I found out MOST OF THE TIME IT WAS A WOMAN SHOWING A FREAKING SHOULDER?! Or a LEG. This is getting out of control! I get that Pinterest wants to keep young children away from inappropriate things, but a woman showing skin is not inappropriate ( I’m a woman btw). I also save items for book fandoms and Iv had so so many of those pins get deactivated, but like why? Bc a guy has his shirt off? Bc a woman is in a bathing suit??? I’m saving anything involving sex over here?

Long time user. I’ve been a regular pinterest user for almost a decade now. I rarely have a day where I don’t check my Pinterest. I mainly use it to curate aesthetics and find inspiration for my life. It’s very soothing and artistic to me, and the only social media I’ll use. However, I feel as though Pinterest has recently gone down hill. There’s an overwhelming amount of ads. To the point of every other pin is an ad. Most of them are irrelevant to me and my feed is no longer aesthetically pleasing, just full of junk. And I’m not opposed to tasteful ads- I’ve even bought multiple products advertised to me on Pinterest that had beautiful ads that matched my interest and weren’t overwhelming. But there’s just too many now and too many pointless ones. It makes Pinterest significantly less enjoyable. I also don’t understand why Pinterest no longer shows you who pinned the pins in your feed, and when you click in you can’t click on the original user who pinned. It’s totally confusing and counterintuitive- I keep trying to click the icons of people to view their profile but I can’t. The best way for me to do it is to scroll through the hundreds of people I follow to find them. It’s a huge pain. Please make peoples profiles clickable from their pins like they used to be. I’m satisfied with most of the other features of this app and glad to be a part of the community!

Great App, Unsolved Issue. I have used this app for a long time to love it, I used to use it for almost everything. You can find different things for it, like, clothing, food, hairstyles, nail inspo, shoe inspo, almost everything. But then I got this thing a while back about “Teen Safety” something about how your account is private if you’re under 16. Which, I understand, I understand the thing that if you’re a minor then of course, make the account private, but to deactivate a specific BOARD, is petty. It wasn’t used for anything bad, it was just for my friend and me to save random memes that we thought were funny. But then out of the normal Pinterest decided to make it non-accessible. I was shocked and honestly worried that it might lead to my whole account being deactivated, which I then decided to contact them about. And I haven’t been happy with the app since. I got pretty angry with it too. It happened to my friend’s account too. She couldn’t reach my new account or my old one. I wasn’t able to do the same either. It was a really random thing too, we haven’t done anything out of the community guidelines or terms and conditions, and we didn’t break any rules. Then Pinterest decides to do this, it was petty as heck. I didn’t understand it and I still don’t. If my issue isn’t fixed then it isn’t, but if it is then great. Thank you.

the updates are awful and endless. I understand that updates to the app might be relevant if Pinterest wants to try and keep up with other apps…but the constant updates and changes to the app is so frustrating. I’ve used this app for 9 years now and it’s becoming less and less enjoyable for me. pintrest keeps blocking my personal pins from being seen by anyone but me. which takes the fun out of being able to share and create my own ideas. I think that it’s likely do to the fact that I can easily be mistaken for a teenage girl but I’ve reiterated that I’m 22 and of age on that app over and over again. I’ve shared nothing but pictures of my outfits and a few selfies. All harmless pictures with nothing vaguely suggestive about them. me nor any other women or girls should be punished because of pervs. I also personally don’t like the creating pins as “ideas” thing where I’m unable to fully personalize my pins. I don’t care about being seen as creator or people re-sharing the pics I post if they like them, my icon below all the pins I create is ugly and disturbs the harmony of my boards. We should have a choice again. I’m also afraid that my account will be deleted yet again, because Pinterest soft blocking my boards was the first thing to happen before they wrongly deleted my account last time and I had to get it appealed.

Lost its individuality.. I always loved Pinterest since 2014 when I was 14 and I’m 21 now. Since then I’ve considered it a ‘safe place’ free from ads and the traps of marketing where I could gather ideas and get creative without the pressure of social media. I have never made a review, but this app is just too close to my heart and it hurts to see it fall down. Recently, it’s just the same as other platforms. I can now rarely find a good recipe or a creative outfit. Every other pic is an advertisement for a waist trainer or TikTok influencers. I wouldn’t mind too much if it was less frequent like it was before but now it’s every other pin. It’s distracting to the point where I can’t find any good pins. Instead of it being a curative list of pins in your style, it’s tiktoks of influencers showing you the most recent trends. I can now barely find any pins that appeal to my style. It’s all those short videos or tiktoks that are just ads. The videos distract from the picture pins so I end up not seeing what I came to Pinterest for. It’s an ad fest just like Instagram and TikTok where the strategy is to get you hooked on watching those short useless videos for hours. I deleted TikTok and Instagram for a reason, and now all apps are turning into it. Pinterest has almost completely lost its individuality and I’m sure it’s just downhill from here. It’s a shame, but if it continues this way I’ll be forced to get off of it.

10/10 app, specially for artists =). This is an amazingly wonderful app to get inspiration and/or ideas. From Travelling and foods to woodworking and room ideas! Games and build ideas to sewing, and paintings from small canvases to giant murals on the side of titanic buildings! You can quite possibly find close to anything on here. Although….one lil problem. With the newest update, I am now unable to view pics, and as an artist, that is a big problem =( When I tap on said pic, it takes me to ‚more like this‘ instead of the picture. Happens on all tabs {if you will}. My for you, home page, and even searches. I‘ve gotten out of the app, swiped it away and went back into it and it still does it =(( I hope this gets fixed sooner

All the descriptions and tags are invisible in the app. I rely on the descriptions and visible tags to know what my pins and others' pins are about and that's gone from the app. This makes all the pins useless to me because I can't see what the images are - they are just a group of images that I can't use. Can you PLEASE put the descriptions back and allow users to increase the area of text that's visible? Even on the desktop version most of the description is not visible on the board so I can't see what I need to make the item of the image at a glance. Please allow users to make choices and stop taking away the things that make Pinterest relevant and useful. And the constant updating and the lack of any HELP for info on using the app or registering any complaints or feedback in the app is annoying. Please fix the app so we can see what we’ve put as descriptions - five pictures of similar things are NOT worth 5000 words, the words are necessary to work out what the pins are. And allow help and feedback within the app.

Suggestion please respond and consider. I absolutely love Pinterest and have used it for many years now, discovering new inspiration every day. The app really motivates me to do and fulfil certain things and I love the creativity in the apps design and idea. However, I would like to make a suggestion that would greatly benefit many users. When you click edit on a board you are given the option to merge boards where your pins and board name are moved to another board as a section in that board. Could you please make an option to move just the pins of a certain board to a new board without creating a section. It would make saving pins a lot easier and would greatly improve the satisfaction of the app. Please make it happen.

I love Pinterest but I HATE THE NEW UPDATE. I love Pinterest, but the new update privates all under 16 acc. My friends who’s under 16 can’t join group boards, and friend anyone, which is unfair! Another thing is, all the boards I had them in before are now disabled until they turn 16, which is really annoying, I hate it so much, because all my years of hard-work on those boards are gone to waste, I had very important things on there. And you can’t even remove the person who’s under 16 to gain access to the board again! I find this update absolutely TERRIBLE!! I get that Pinterest is trying to be safer, but doing this is unfair to the people who are friends with people under 16, and for the people under 16!! There are so many other ways to make this app a safer place! PLZ FIX THIS UPDATE!! (AND LET US ACCESS OUR BOARDS)

Some major downgrades, regularly changes. Late Feb 2022 edit: Grids in home feed are back on mobile which is great! Thank you. However, as long-time user, I really hope Pinterest brings back the Following feed. What’s the point of following profiles where you’re only functionally subscribed to their “stories”? / 2021 Review: Pinterest, I’ve loved you for many, many years but…what are you doing? First, you went all ~Insta~ mimicking their following feed without any option to back to the classic grids which used to be a well-loved distinct feature to now completely killing the following feed on the mobile app. You even killed the curated ideas feed based on our active boards which was at least quite useful. Stay you, please, or there’s little to no point in using Pinterest if you’re gonna try to look like other apps, especially when Instagram now has Collections.

TOO MANY ADS AND AI PHOTOS RUINING PINTEREST. I’ve been using Pinterest for years and I love it but it’s gone completely downhill. The amount of ads now is absolutely insane, my feed is probably more ads now than actual pins! It’s completely ruining the experience of the app when every second square is an ad. Also a lot of the ads are for Shein and Temu which are both terrible! I have also noticed when I was looking for inspiration for a haircut I wanted, some of the images were of AI women! And when i went to look at pictures of interiors, so many of the pictures were just AI generated! It was actually very hard to tell that a lot of them were AI and only someone who knows how to spot AI would be able to tell. I don’t want to be getting inspiration from images that aren’t even real and I’m sure most people who use Pinterest agree! It’s so frustrating because I use Pinterest almost every day but I can’t ignore that the app is declining at a rapid rate. FIX YOUR APP

Bad. I have heard good things about this app but I have never gotten the chance to even experience it. Because I have tried over and over and over again to try make a account but nooooooooo pinterest doesn’t let me and I am in the age group to be able to make an account and all I wanna do is scroll on pinterest and chat with my friends but I can’t do that and this isn’t the first time I have had issues with trying to make an account I tried the start of December last year but nope and now I have tried again today and still no if this doesn’t get fixed I will start to warn people about this and tell them they should talk to you guys about it and I don’t like being mean and I don’t think that is mean I just want to get on to pinterest and that’s a good thing for you guys but there is other a bug or something going on that you guys have not realised about and idk why it’s not working I have checked all the information and everything I am doing is right soooooo idk Kind regards

Love Pinterest but.... I absolutely love Pinterest, I use it daily and it's super useful. Plus I've had it for years. Although recently within the last few updates its been making me want to stray away from the app. I use Pinterest on my phone and my iPad, but mainly my iPad. And I can't click onto photos and videos without it showing me 'More like this' and I can't actually see the post this includes pins I have saved on my boards. I like Pinterest the way it is and I understand that developers are trying to find ways to make Pinterest 'better' but these last few updates including when my boards we're disabled for a while because of a 'Teen safety' campaign, reallt have just made me want to use the app less and less. I think it would be better if they just leave it the way it was and only change things that would actually make Pinterest better. This may just be me and a few other people but this is just my opinion. Thank you 💕

Constant Changing. I have been a Pinterest user since the very VERY early days- when it was by invitation only. There is no doubt that Pinterest was and still has the potential to be an amazing platform- but the constant changes to the experience are too much. I was prepared to accept the annoying suggested pins repeatedly showing me things I’d already pinned... I was happy to accept sponsored posts...even the new full screen ones. The “following” tab was a perfect compromise between Pinterest new and of old- but now on the mobile app you can only see one following image at a time, ensuring you spend no time with your “follow” community and forcing you back to the home page. Once again Pinterest (badly) calls the shots with no regard to the users and their communities who built the platform to what it is.

I Hate Idea Pins.. I have loved pinterest for years and use it almost every day. I enjoy that it is more simple and unique and doesn't have updated features every few weeks trying to compete with all the other social apps. However, I absolutely hate the new idea pins. If I wanted to group pins together I would put them in a board or a section of a board - I don't see the need for idea pins. They are pretty much all I am seeing in my 'more ideas' and 'posts like this' sections and it's really turning me off the app. I wish you could filter searches to just show photos/idea pins/video etc and turn off idea pins coming up in your suggestions. I often see a single photo that I would like to save in amongst an idea pin but i dont want to save all the photos so I have to just scroll away and hope I see that photo again one day to save it layer...I just dont get it and it clogs up my feed. Also please bring back the ability to search for boards by name on the app, it is still a feature for desktops and I wish they kept it on apps too.

Good but not enough options to tweak feed. I've used Pinterest for years and generally really enjoyed it. HOWEVER, I wish I could turn off entire categories of ads in feed eg all cooking ones, all meat ones ( as a vegetarian), all clothes ones ( as I don't care). Even worse now is recent move to make it a condition for you to enter your birthdate. Trouble is I am atypical for my age. I now get ageist jokes which bother me, ads for products I never use, concerns about health I don't care about. I'm young at heart and not stereotypical in taste. I like leading edge stuff not traditional interests. I know I'm not the only one as retirees today were the hippies in their youth. Many of us still have that attitude. I'm wondering what I'm missing now in my feed because some algorithm has decided I wouldn't be interested. There has been much discussion in how much info companies REALLY need about you with all the identity theft around. So is birthdate really necessary. I am person not an age. Even if they are fixed in asking a year, do they need to store the month and day of birth.. does the month or day change my preferences???

Ridiculous new policy. I have been using Pinterest since I was 12 and absolutely love it. But they recently put in place a new policy meaning that all users under the age of 16’s account is made private and all boards shared with under 16’s will be disabled until all collaborators are 16. This is ridiculous, I am now 16 turning 17 and have had over half my boards, most I use for school, disabled. All my friends and board collaborators on Pinterest are all over 16 as well, yet our shared boards are lost. I am a VCE student and a lot of my subjects require evidence of though process and collaboration, this new feature means I cannot access the boards I use for the subjects and inhibits my ability to provide evidence and injures my study score and grade. I also lost a lot of boards for my passions of art and fashion, which I share with friends, and they are lost too. I’m taking about 5 YEARS worth of pins GONE. Pinterest is meant to be a place where users with common interests, likes and hobbies and collaborate and communicate with like minded individuals. A massive portion of Pinterest users are under the age of 16 and this inhibits and isolates them from a community of common people. This entire policy is stupid, unnecessary and ridiculous. I have written complaints to the help centre and hope this policy is dissolved and removed effectively and soon.

Love Pinterest. I've been enjoying Pinterest for a few years now and observed and in most cases enjoyed the changes the developers have given us. But there are a couple of things that I miss. One is the ability to search either Pinterest or the net for things of interest from the main search "spy glass" on my feeder page. Now I only have the option of searching Pinterest. Another is that when pinning I used to be able to see some of the history of the pin and who had pinned it previously. That gave me the opportunity of looking at those pinners and their boards to discover people and boards I may wish to follow. It is nowhere near as easy to discover this now. In regard to my own boards, I would love to be able to sort my boards into groups of similar subjects ... ie a main board with sub boards to keep all pins related to that topic together.

Could do with some crucial fixes. Ok so I enjoy Pinterest for being able to organise a lot of pictures for inspirational stuff. However, since the update there seems to be a glitch where the screen appears as if it’s stuck between two pins, and I can only see half of the image and scroll underneath like normal. It’s hard to fix up again and I end up losing whatever images I wanted to use because restarting the app seems to be the only solution. On top of that, there seems to be a seperate glitch where if you try to rearrange pins on a board, a single image might be flagged or glitchy in some way and you can’t rearrange any pins if that one is touched or moved at all, which leads to “error” and causing everything to go back to where it was, or crashing the app. I WOULD go back and delete the pin to prevent this, but there is no way if indicating which pin this is, or why it’s even doing this in the first place. It becomes tiresome quickly Otherwise, fun app that accommodates to my need for visual stimuli

Very very annoying bugs. There is this very annoying bug that I've dealt with ever since I first got Pinterest and it's where I'll be scrolling through with the pins in full view so that I can only see one at a time and then the app will just freeze and then crash just like that. And whenever I reopen it it's just stuck on one pin and I can't scroll anymore. I also got the app on my phone and a different bug happened where if I was scrolling like I was before then it would freeze and then it would repeat the last pins I just saw without me touching the screen. These bugs are very annoying and I've been using the app for almost a year now and these bugs have been there from the start.

Some issues overall great app and space. The issues I have is I can’t seem to comment tried pins on desktop or mobile. It’s like the feature disappeared, there wasn’t any indication of what happened because I’m not the only one experiencing the trouble. It was a nice social feature and I like seeing other people’s tried stuff. Please bring back. It would also be nice to have to carousel feature on mobile like other social platforms where you can share multiple images in one post. This problem didn’t bother me as much. Otherwise this app has so many good features, content, user interface and friendly online presence.

Hate the shopping feature. As a mobile user I loved being able to swipe down after opening a pin to continue browsing. Now almost every time I swipe an image I get random objects outlined in the pin to ‘shop’ with the image search feature (if you can call it a feature). Mobile use is one handed. Having users awkwardly reach to the top of the other side of the pin to click a ‘close’ icon button or selectively picking a spot in the image to swipe down from instead of swiping down anywhere is incredibly poor user experience and demonstrates how social media apps and platforms continue to put profit over users. Every. Time. As a long time lover of Pinterest as a concept and having spent much time on the app, I stomached the heavy use of ads when it was introduced but now I can’t spend more than 5 minutes on here without getting so frustrated I close it. Pinterest, if you want some ideas - you can keep your shopping feature but how about you have to tap and hold an image to get shopping options. I have no doubt many of your employees came up with the same idea but someone higher up preferred that users accidentally tap through to third party shopping platforms when trying to navigate away from a pin because that meant more money in their pocket.

Love it! However.... I am completely in love with Pinterest. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t spend at least an hour or two scrolling through pins. However I and some of my friends are experiencing some problems, like not being able to send messages to each other directly in the inbox. And it seems we can’t send each other more than one pin within a span of 30 seconds because a notification pops up saying it’s trying to “combat spam” even though my friends and I are TRYING to spam each other with pins that we would absolutely love. I don’t know whether this is a bug problem in terms being unable to send each other message within the inbox section, but it would be very much appreciated if you would please look into these 2 issues so I and many of friends and other people can have the ultimate Pinterest experience. Thank you (:

Deactivated. I have been using Pinterest for some time now and have found the content interesting most of the time, while there are some things on it that maybe shouldn't be. A lot of content is repeated. While the app is good, I did an update recently and found my account had been deactivated for unknown reasons. My issue is the lack of customer service when I used the contact link to appeal the deactivation. No reason for deactivation was given leaving me a bit confused. I don’t post anything to Pinterest and don’t spam either, so I have no idea why my account was deactivated. Is has been more than 48 hours since I contacted Pinterest vis their contact page. No response has been received, I could not operate a business that leaves customers hanging and wondering what happened. It’s a good thing I don’t have a business that uses Pinterest, it would not be a viable way to advertise if the account just gets deactivated without reason. That’s the only issue I have is the difficulty and time wasted trying to get the account reactivated.

AMAZING (But.....). I’ve had this app for about 2-3 years and it’s still great, the app is amazing for many reasons -You can find literally anything for literally anything 😂 -Organisation is on point -Never gets boring -Updates get better and better! (But...) I honestly love this app but... the new update is frustrating, when you tap on a pin and then press on it again ( If it doesn’t take you to a website that is) the ‘More like this’ banner (would u call it that?) Is annoying! If there’s a way to GET IT GONE, (Is there a way to turn that off in the app settings) help me please, or can you please just get rid of it, another problem is the section on the bottom of your screen ( the one where u can choose to go to your boards, look people on Pinterest up, or see notifications ) my does this thing were is raises itself higher when I press a pin, and then I’m stuck on searching pins and I can’t press off that option on that section. If there’s a way to stop this from happening do please help or am I doing something wrong? (May just be my phone or the app because it’s on my phone I don’t know) Other than that I highly recommend getting the app!

Great, but could use some improvements. PLEASE MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE SECTIONS WITHIN SECTIONS!!! I have talked to so many people about this and they all agree that it would make the app so much better. Basically every week since I first downloaded Pinterest I check to see if that was in the update but it never is. PLEASE consider. The only other complaint I have is that the homepage always refreshes when I don’t want it to. If I’m in Pinterest and I get a pop up saying that my battery is low or there’s WiFi connections nearby, it will refresh. Or if I swipe down to see my phone notifications, Pinterest will refresh when I swipe back into the app. This even happens when I barely even swipe it down at all. Very annoying. Other than those things, however, this is a great app and very addicting.

Unban me.. Hi, I’m writing this review as a way to get noticed since you guys don’t seem to be responding to my emails. I was banned last month because the pins i saved were against community guidelines. First of all, I didn’t MAKE the pins so why should i get banned because of someone else’s mistake? That’s unfair. And second, I’d never been banned before on that account, you guys just took my account away from me without a warning.. also unfair. I want to be given a chance to fix my mistake and if i get my account back i promise ill go through every single board and delete the pins that i think go against community guidelines. Pinterest played a massive role in my everyday life, id go on it every single day and look and save pins. I had so many pins on there and now its all just gone. I’m so upset because of this. I don’t even want to go onto the app because every pin i saved is gone and i have to start from scratch. Respond to my emails please because i really want to be given the chance to fix this mistake.

Stop with the violation emails. I love Pinterest so so much but I have absolutely had it with receiving emails that I’ve had pins removed for violating community guidelines. The one off link to view the pin doesn’t even work, just takes me to the home page, so I can’t even see what it is that was removed. I always appeal it and it always gets reinstated. My previous account with over 20,000 pins was suspended due to this. I am VERY CAREFUL to not pin inappropriate content and none of my boards are related to anything that could be NSFW. It’s absolutely insane that on a new account I am continually receiving these emails about pins I HAVENT EVEN UPLOADED??? This needs to be fixed ASAP. So long as your bots or whatever system you use to scan for inappropriate content is broken, this app is unusable. Not to mention all of the glitches, app crashes, and inability to scroll through a board/Pinterest account without it automatically scrolling up to the top or refreshing. Absolutely infuriating.

Addicted but needs a lil work!!. What Pinterest should add is like a download for videos. It’s annoying when I really like a video but have to screen record it all so that I can show my friends and stuff. If you could do that I would be grateful, and not only me but pretty much everyone! .Although I’m so addicted to this. I love just looking through. And as I said, I got addicted. I spend hours on there, and it feels like 30 minutes. There is always something knew. And when I finally convinced my friend to get it, she said he home area was bassicly her mind. It’s a great way to chat with your friends, I love sending them pins I’ve found. This is defiantly a must need. Ps. This is also a great way for inspo and ideas.

I’m seriously so done with this app. I’ve been a Pinterest user for YEARS now, i’m an artist and graphic designer so Pinterest was always my go-to for inspiration. Over said years i had a board which amassed over 13,000 pins and today it was deleted. I have been frustrated enough with this app from this terrible management, rampant ads and AI all over the app as well as their horrible AI system which always flags literally any pin as ‘adult content’ or ‘self harm’, with pins that I never uploaded being taken down and ME getting a warning for it. This app punishes you for even using it and i’m so tired of it, either they get their stuff together or some new and better app will pop up. None of the pins from my board that was deleted where ‘adult-content’, they where all drawings from artists that inspire me, yet without warning, it was deleted because of a bad AI doing a bad job. I pray to whatever Pinterest gods are out there that they fix this dumpster fire of an app and restore my board or so help me god.

Good concept but slightly annoying. I enjoy the idea of Pinterest but mostly to create my own boards for my own reference. I make them public but have no collaborators because I prefer to maintain my boards myself. I find the “ideas you might love” section on my boards to be distracting and also alter how I want my boards to appear. I’ve tried but can’t find a way to switch them off or get rid of them and would really appreciate the option to do so. Update: I keep asking for this option and I’m seriously frustrated at not being able to have my boards appear as I want them without input from Pinterest. I’d really appreciate YOUR FEEDBACK on why this seems to be mission impossible! I’m OCD and need my pins lined up in neat rows, even though I love the concept of Pinterest but I’m giving up on it soon, it’s doing my head in

I have three things that I would like fixed. First of all Pinterest has WAY to many adverts on it now. Every time I go onto Pinterest a million of the exact same ads just it me in the face and I don’t want to use Pinterest anymore because of it. The second thing is that when I try to zoom in on pins the screen just freezes and I have to go out of Pinterest in order to continue using it. The third and final thing is that when I try to reply to a comment, the ‘add’ button is covered up by the bar at the bottom of the screen. This is very annoying and means that I can’t reply to any questions or thank people for nice replies and stuff like that. I don’t like using the app as much anymore because it just isn’t what I would expect (nor want) from an app as big as Pinterest. really hope that these things get fixed and that I can enjoy your app once more. Hope you understand and help me to enjoy Pinterest again. Thanks, Leah

amazing! just a few errors. this app is absolutely AMAZING! i have gotten so much inspo from it and have even lost a few kilograms in a few months because of some of the content regarding weight loss and workouts. despite this, i think there are a few things that need a little tweaking: so first off, sometimes all i want to do is post a meme in the comment section or something but i cant! please, PLEASE add the photo feature back in the comment section! second is just a minor inconvenience that i dont know if anyone else has. sometimes when i get a message or update, the pop up notification thing starts glitching and flashing and stuff. third and last, i think we should have a full list of who we follow. i needed to find this one makeup artist and i couldn’t find her because she hadnt posted recently. anyways, i hope someone from the pinterest rean read this and if so, thank you so much for doing so! great app, keep goin’ regards- ✨thekidgotinagain✨💖💜💙

flooded with AI. I used to love Pinterest for character or location references and inspiration, and backgrounds. unfortunately the results have become poisoned with endless AI that i have to sift through if I want to find actual art and artists I enjoy. it’s frustrating to see so many images that at a glance seem great but as soon as you look closer they have areas of meaningless noise and details that don’t make sense. If uploaders could tick an AI-generated box when uploading art that users could later filter, it might help at least a little. Even if not everyone bothered and some AI art slips through, any reduction would be something. As is, I can’t bring myself to sift endlessly through this art that I largely can’t use to try and find something real. I’m moving on to other sites and saving images myself from various places online instead now.

Good overall, except for some major comments bugs. Hello!! Each update the UI gets much more readable and easy to use, which is a definite win!! Everything is more organised and clean :D however I have been experiencing some MAJOR comments bugs. I’ve tried the basics, such as restarting the app, redownloading the app, re-signing back into my account, going through the desktop version, and every single time comments have disappeared. They’ll show up in my notifications tab however when I click on them and it takes me to the comments chain it isn’t there, nor does it reappear. Sometimes entire comments chains are unopenable entirely. I’m not certain if this is a common issue or not, but overall this is my most common and frustrating gripe with the app. All else is fine, and gets better with each update!!

Pinterest. On the whole ,ok, but don’t like it bouncing away from pins I am just trying to capture. Love the picture view, have bought stuff just on great photo looks, but having some issues with setting up my own business account. And some stores seem to overwhelm users with their multiple ads / pins. However, biggest issue I have is while trying to set up business acct, it gives instructions to add metatag and html file, but the instructions when followed lead to message bar and external contacts only. Tried so many times that I finally deleted app and tried to reload it but Pinterest says my business email is taken by another user. THAT’S ME! Logging in from web browser gets me nowhere useful, so please contact me and sort this out, it is driving me crazy.

LOVE THIS GAME!. Ok this game is the BEST EVER! I like this game because, it’s 12+ and it’s a fun relaxing! I can just sit and scroll and be me, I also love how you make the saved folders like; you save a pic and then you can make a folder for it and save it to that! So that’s great but……… the only prob is that this game is really SLOW to LOAD it takes like 10 to 20mins sometimes, so that’s ANNOYING but…….. Overall I recommend this game because everything is absolutely FREE, and it’s absolutely AMAZING! EXCEPT for the little bugs, but that might not happen to you because my iPad is really FULL! So that might be a reason, MAYBE MAYBE NOT idk 🤷‍♀️ but hopefully it DOSE’NT happen to U!! Hope U get the GAME because it’s AMAZING AND FREE AND RELAXING!! 😊😌✨THE MAKERS OF THIS GAME ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND LEDGANDS!! Kind/Happy regard’s Jess

I used to use this everyday but uninstalling because it’s the same as everything else now.. Pinterest was always super reliable and helpful when trying to find inspiration, build mood boards, plan outfits and even assist creatively with my work, all through photos. Now anytime I search for anything related to my interests or work, it just comes up with an endless stream of 10 second videos and not a single photo in sight. Even disabling autoplay does nothing to help this and there isn’t a “pictures only” filter option. I am honestly so sad about this because I have used this platform basically since its inception many many years ago and has sadly opted for the same crappy approach to all platforms nowadays, all because of TikTok making video shorts the new default mechanic across all apps including this one. I was wrong to think Pinterest was better than the rest but I guess corporate greed and the brain rot of its users to increase engagement will always come first.

do better. pinterest would be 5 stars for me but they keep wrongfully taking down pins and suspending/deactivating people’s accounts for no reason. i’ve gotten 2 emails recently about community guidelines violations about pins i’ve saved, one about copyright and one about adult content (i’ve never saved any adult content on pinterest), and now they’re saying if anything else happens they will take further action. funniest part is that one of the pins was reinstated so why give me a warning, and both times they’ve emailed me about taking pins down they didn’t let me know which ones they were. i have nearly 8000 pins so how am i supposed to know which ones are “bad” when none of them violate community guidelines? i’ve also never uploaded anything to pinterest, so why punish the people who pin images that YOUR algorithm suggests, instead of just punishing the person who uploaded it in the first place? and then pinterest’s “support team” doesn’t do anything even when trying to appeal. DO BETTER PINTEREST.

High quality pictures, great team. Definitely an app I would recommend, both for social media and reference purposes. Great community, great users and great team. The pictures on Pinterest are just different from those from Google images. You’re somehow able to find more quality pictures on Pinterest than on google, so I’ve found myself using Pinterest to look up references and etc stuff like that more often than google. The help team, amazing, they solved my problem in one days and I was back on Pinterest just like that. My community tab wasn’t appearing, they gave me some tips, those tips didn’t work, I told them, and a few hours later bam, they send me an email saying they’ve worked out the problem and solved it, and indeed, my problem was solved. Fast reply and efficient.

PinterestLover. I have had Pinterest for more than three years now, and I love it. In fact, like many millions of others, I am a Pinterest addict. I haven’t been crazy about some of the changes made to the app, but I’m still pinning madly. I do have one comment to make though, about the age group for which Pinterest is recommended. I have seen images and content offensive to adults. Definitely not suitable for children under 15, and some, shouldn’t be viewed by anyone younger then 18. The new order of comment paragraphs is confusing, with the last at the top. Instinct is to read from the top of the page, but now you need to go down to find your first comment.I find it amusing that you inform me you’ve deleted a pic because of copyright, and show me a photo of a bowl of soup. What was the actual complaint about? The photo of a bowl of soup? The ingredients used to make the soup were stolen? Ha ha, guys, your random computer generated pics to send as cover for what you actually deleted, are hilarious. But when you send a pic of something I would not have pinned in a fit, that’s a bit disconcerting...

I adore Printrest buttttt, please change the new update. I absolutely love, love, love Pinterest buttt after the new update I am a bit sad. I loved posting things for my friends and others to view but now due to the new update that can not happen anymore. In addition i can’t calibrate and share with my friends anymore. I would really encourage Pinterest to revert back to how they used to and allow all ages to post on Pinterest and share with each other. I personally believe that Pinterest is a safer enough app without and would really love to see it how it use to be. I would have given 5 starts but due to the new update I had to give 4. Pleaseee, pleassse Pinterest!!?!?

Something I don’t understand. To the developers of Pinterest: i have gotten an email from u guys and I understand but can u tell me which pins who removed? Because I just wanna know because some of it I didn’t save or maybe some else did. But thank u for getting in contact with me I understand there was a copyright issue even tho I didn’t know what or Which picture was it but if u can show me some of it than I will know it mine I save or someone hacked my account and post a copyright pictures or idk but again I am sorry for the copyright even tho i don’t know which pins but yeah I understand anyways I love Pinterest even tho I have to delete my account for my own reasons. And thank you for making a app that is really fun and wonderful hope u read this

Please stop changing things all the time. Weekly updates to fix the bugs is good but it’s really unnecessary to make little changes constantly. For one, I can’t refresh a board/section by dragging the page downwards anymore, because doing that now just closes the board/section and I have to reopen it to refresh it. Obviously that’s not a huge inconvenience but I just think it was better the other way. One big problem though is that for a couple of months now the app hasn’t allowed me to move more than one pin at a time. The option to select the pins I want to move is available but there was no button to actually move/delete them. Then last night that option finally appeared... and now it’s gone again just a day later. I really love Pinterest, and the app is, in my opinion easier to navigate than the desktop website, but all these constant little changes are annoying. You know the saying, don’t fix what isn’t broken. Aside from those little things, this is a really good app.

The collage update is not showing up for iOS devices. The new update for Pinterest collages is not working on my iPhone and iPad as I recently got to play around with it for a little bit before it completely crashed and kicked me out of the app then when I tried to make another collage the button for creating collages was no where to be found when pressing on the plus button it only gives me the original two options to either create a pin or board but nothing insight for making a collage my app is fully updated to the lastest update I tried clearing my cache, logging in and logging out and then finally trying to find it on my iPad yet nothing has worked !!!! Please fix this issue !!!! Thank youuu!!!!

Used to be awesome. I used to love Pinterest, but the search function is completely broken by the over-personalised algorithmic filter bubble. If I search for something new, like 90% of what I’m shown is stuff I’ve previously pinned or looked at. For example, if I search for ‘pie’, all I get is iterations of the specific type of apple cake I pinned last week, when I’m not interested in apples or cake (and yes, I know apple pies exist but it’s literally not even showing those, just a very specific type of cake). This needs and overhaul! Please save personalisation for the home feed, and tone it down everywhere else. If I wanted to see 25 different versions of something I pinned before, I would just go to that board and look at them! Oh yeah, not to mention the abundance of weird body shaming ads that are not related to stuff I’ve ever searched for…

The new update. I ADORE PINTEREST! It is my favourite app and I just love finding exactly what I am looking for whenever I need it. Pinterest is perfect! However I have one problem.. recently there is a new update for accounts under 16 years old are to be made private and some boards disabled. This is not necessary for Pinterest to do as I believe it is such a safe space already. I am particularly annoyed with the restriction and the accounts being made private as some people are no longer able to see my acc at all. My girlfriend and I have board for each other that we can look at but now she is no longer able to view my account! This is really heartbreaking as our first way of communicating our feelings was through our pins we had saved and sent to each other. I also have looked up to see if anyone else is having difficulties and are unimpressed, there is quite a lot. The update may have had good intentions but the functionality of Pinterest is now broken. I urge to you remove the update and keep private account and option. I will continue to support the app but this change is disappointing. Hopefully you take action. Kind regards, a beloved Pinterest user 💜

Great app, but. Sometimes when attempting to scroll through a board after rearranging it, the scrolling is oddly difficult—significantly slower and more limited than usual, and when I stop touching the screen it scrolls up of its own accord. There doesn’t seem to be a reason for this. The activity page is just awful. Not only do I now not get to see the boards to which my pins were saved, but now they’re swamped with recommended “related” pins—a feature I can already access from an excessive number of alternate means. Let me see the boards to which my pins were saved, and cut the recommendations in the activity feed. No one wants them there. The process to reorder and personalise pins in their boards is cumbersome. To move a single pin I need to click it, click reorder, and then wait for the board to load, and then I have to scroll to find the pin, and only *then* can I move it—and after all that, the preview doesn’t show the end result of the change in the actual board itself, so you don’t know how it looks until you save it. This process used to be so simple; just a tap and hold to drag it into place. Why was it changed?

good app, very annoying design. this is a really useful app, and it’s pretty fun. but there are just so many little design things that make this app very annoying to use sometimes. why can’t i scroll through all of my boards on the top of the home screen? why is a pin still saved to my board when it gets deleted by the creator or removed? why when i’m looking at ideas for a board in full screen do i need to tap save and THEN tap which board? why isn’t there a button next to the save button that saves it to the board that i’m looking at ideas for? why does it make me scroll through all of the images of some of the ads when i’m in full screen? if i didn’t want to see the ad i could go out of full screen and skip it, so why do i have to do that at all? why do i see so many duplicates? surely there is some sort of program that can filter out pins i’ve already seen/saved? why can’t i use dark mode on the pc version? why isn’t there a paid, ad-free version? also you can still see deleted pins by pressing the edit pin button, should probably sort that one out. i’m sure there are answers to some of these questions but those answers, if they exist, should be made much more clear.

Very disappointed with the latest updates. I was a very early user of Pinterest and have loved it for years using it as a great source of inspiration, resources and collection for ideas for my many interests. However the latest update with trying to use sections within a board are absolutely useless. One can spend ages ticking the pictures to move to a new section, only to find that the pictures have not moved and lo and behold one has to move the pictures again after ticking them again to move to the new section and finding the board from the alphabetical list! I have no idea why this new idea was implemented because it is absolutely useless. I like the idea of having subsections within a board so I could create smaller areas of interest but going back over a previous board that has been started has become a time-consuming task. Pinterest please fix this up ASAP!! Or you will have more disgruntled users.

I LOVE PINTEREST BUT…. I really love Pinterest and like so many people I am addicted to it. It’s amazing for people who want the feeling of Instagram but a more friendly base or for people who want to save pins revolving around their passions and interests. While this is all good, the recent updates on Pinterest are annoying. I used to love switching to the browse section and scrolling through other peoples posts for ages, and unfortunately that has changed now. I feel like the browse section should be added once again, as it was an easy feature to access and that way more posts were seen for inspiration and creativity. Secondly, the new policy update is something that bothers me because I can’t scroll through my friends accounts anymore for ideas and pins if they are under 16. Please Pinterest editors, take your time to look at reviews such as mine and kindly take the feedback to make Pinterest just as amazing as it used to be.

Improvements and suggestions. Some improvements New feature idea ~ Memories This could be a feature where on the pin, they save the image and it goes it’s own unique gallery that doesn’t display in your profile. This can be used to save content that you may not want everyone to see ect. New feature idea ~ Bubbles (Chats) This feature just allows you to chat to your followers as long as you have them as a friend. This can work like other social media apps that have this feature. Improvement suggestion ~ “Adult content” If a Piece of content is considered “Adult content”. It should let the user know through the Bubbles feature and with a link to the original pin. A setting should be added that covers the pin before opening saying “Spoiler”. Improvement suggestion ~ The option to show likes on your feed. This feature would be able to be enabled in the settings. Along with the saved features, it would show liked pins (Similar to the saved pins.) New feature idea ~ Stickers Stickers that can be used in the comment section and your bio. (Use your imagination, depending on who’s reading. On what the sticker collection could look like.) That’s it, maybe take these into consideration in the future. (Just someone scrolling through Pinterest.)

Inappropriate contact…. I was searching up cars on Pinterest I clicked on a pin of a car I liked them I scrolled down to the related pins and there was multiple pins of women wearing sexual bimbo clothing, I reported some of them and they kept reappearing and it wouldn’t let me hide them nor I would report them the pins just keep on reappearing, I clicked on the pin of a car that did NOT relate to the sexual bimbo clothing, I’m not trying to be rude but it’s true I clicked on a pin then I scrolled down and there was inappropriate contact, cars have got NOTHING to do with sexual clothing, is this why Pinterest is having problems lately, but it’s strange really strange? Has anyone had these issues before where people click on a pin of (cars) for an example and they scroll down at the related pins and they saw something inappropriate not ok?

Suspended for pinning home decor. I love Pinterest — creating beautiful boards for different interests is a pleasure. But I was shocked when the app (for no reason) SUSPENDED ME for apparently breaching community guidelines, which I wasn’t doing at all. I was suspended for pinning a handful of photos of aesthetically pleasing pendant lights and hammocks from Etsy at the time, and this was classed as Spam. My half a dozen photos were beautiful and complimented each other, and were no more repetitive than the hundreds of images Pinterest suggests for my boards. I was not engaging in Spammy behaviour — just creating a home redecoration board by comparing different products and looks. And it looked really pretty too. I have contacted Pinterest several times. They have not replied or granted me access back into my account. I hope they will get my message so I can get back to engaging in this app that I otherwise find so helpful and enjoyable.

Review of Pinterest .. Pinterest —- As an artist , I appreciate all that you provide , it is an excellent service , .

Glitch. It’s having issues, when you click on a pin. It doesn’t open it goes to “More like this” instead

Pinteresting. Have had Pinterest for a while now. Love it. Great for collecting ideas for later use.

Fix the quick save- for the love of god. Used to be perfect until the update which removed the "top choices" section. Now the app is so inefficient it's almost unbearable. Really takes the joy out of using this app and I can't see myself using it much longer if it doesn't get fixed. The great thing about this app used to be how intuitive and easy it was. Now the update has taken away both of those things- might as well just save things to my computer files and drop the app entirely.

bring back boards. you can’t search for boards anymore and it’s getting ridiculous. a while ago the ability to see what board something was being saved to was being removed, but for me, this new update is the last straw. that used to be the one feature i absolutely RELIED on for pinterest, and now it’s gone. on top of that, i don’t like how the new update changed the interface for pinning a pin to a board. it makes it nearly impossible to pin things. if things seriously don’t change and this app goes back to being more practical, i’m going to have to stop using it because it is far to frustrating. which is incredibly unfortunate because i’ve loved pinterest for years.

uh. so why was the option to search for boards removed? absolutely useless change that impedes the app.

Not today Pinterest. In no way should an app ask for my birthday to cater my ads. It should be based on my pins which it has been since I started using Pinterest. Thankfully I was able to delete my account without anymore information forcefully given to a site using it for god knows what.

Forcing to update date of birth. Forcing to update date of birth hence boycotting

Ads are getting worse. Video ads with sound make the app slower and interrupts/pauses if you’re listening to something while browsing

Love this Pinterest. I really enjoy everything about it...

Awesome. Always find stuff to laugh at, food to cook, decorating ideas.

Last update is crap. Last update is crap, unable to open or explode images even check up on details like recipes, just opens other set of images repeatedly as you tap on new ones . Needs to be reverted to previous version else would be useless. Version 11.15.1 still crap, cannot explode photos to get details and or links to informations or to download for making own list independent of internet to use at our convenience

End your soundless testing. Please hear out the complains, they're valid. The Pinterest Team recently forced a "new feature" on their users (which everyone absolutely loathes) and it's made using the app a real pain. It's an automatic save to a ghost board called "Profile", and to put pins in the boards you want them in, you have to go ahead and resave them once you find out where this board is. Online forums and their email support's inbox are full of complains, and still they refuse to give us an option out of their feature testing. The issue is they added more unnecessary steps to saving pins into the boards you want them in, and every time you try to delete this "quick save/profile" board, it magically reappears. If it were an option, it'd be fine. But it's not, now you have to go through these extra steps for EVERY PIN, and it's unavoidable. Many users are already talking about giving up the app, and they will unless Pinterest regains its senses and offers an option out. Then it would be actual testing, and you'd get a sound statistic of whether it's a necessary and/or appealing feature. Otherwise, Pinterest's great days are long behind them. Tic-toc.

J'adore. C'est un site très intéressant est une grande variété je l'adore cinq étoiles pour Pinterest xxxxx

Bev D.. My daughter got me started on Pintrest! It is an awesome program! Breakfast and Pintrest - doesn't get any better! Now I find so many pins with advice for things that I have absolutely no interest in, continually over and over again

STOP refreshing!. There is literally nothing I hate more about this app than the fact that if I conduct a search or look at my pins, regardless of where I am on the home page, it will refresh. I should only get refreshed, new pin suggestions if I refresh manually. Otherwise I’ve lost numerous potential pins because this app believes that every time I leave the app or leave the apps main page I want to refresh my pins. This is the single most annoying part of this app by far.

I’m not adding my birthday. Seriously. I’m not adding my birthday so you can send me ads. I’ll delete the app first

board search function ?. i loved this app and used to use it all the time, but i’ve noticed that when you go to use the search function, you can no longer search for boards with what you’ve searched, only see the pins that come up with the result. this sucks and for me, defeats the purpose of the app because that was how i used it, looking at other people’s boards. i keep thinking this is a bug, because you used to be able to select “boards” to search, but update after update, this feature doesn’t come back. it’s very frustrating and making me kind of hate this app because i can barely search for things efficiently.

Disappointingly mismanaged. I’ve used Pinterest for years and years, and I’m convinced they are intent on running themselves into the ground. Never have I seen a company take everything good about it’s product and with each additional update incrementally destroy it. Frankly, it’s mind-boggling. Every feature the users enjoy is done away with or modified to become a shadow of itself. It’s a shame because they have something there, only they don’t seem to know what to do with it. It’s probably greed driving their decisions, but while they may squeeze out a quick buck, they’ll turn away content creators and users until they’re left with a buggy, dried up old husk of a site that no one visits anymore. What a shame, Pinterest.

What happened?. Every update I get so disappointed. Ever since the try feature got removed Pinterest has been getting worse and worse. Notice how the good reviews only are from years ago, when it didn’t go downhill

Terrible app. Pinterest developers, if you don’t fix this update, everyone will delete your app and will never go on it again which will result in a downfall of ur app. So i advise you to get rid of this awful update and to give everyone access to their boards. It isn’t fair we worked so hard on them and the Pinterest community is full of kind people. So why even bother to ban accounts under the age of 16. You’re just ruining your app.

PINTEREST IS GLITCHED. FIX YOUR DAMN APP. MESSAGES ARE BROKEN, BOARDS DON’T SHOW UP ON OTHER PEOPLES ACCOUNTS (THEY AREN’T PRIVATE), FOLLOWERS AND FOLLOWING DISAPPEAR WHEN CLICKED ON

Quick Save. I don’t know what’s going on with the new quick save feature but it’s not worth it. It seems to be interfering with the rest of the app experience. Since it’s introduction, I’ve been unable to see my boards and pins and have to constantly delete and re-download the app to make it work again and see my boards and pins.

Please make it so we can download the images directly. I absolutely despise whatever you did to that download option. Now we have to save it to a pin and then download it. I’m quitting this app and tell my mom, my dad, my sister, my brother, my grandmother, my grandfather, my son, my daughter, my wife, my cousin, my aunt, my uncle, and my friends to quit this app. Fix it now or wait there will be consequences.

The the heck?….. New update one day ago and now I can't see or access my boards. If I try to save a pin I get a notice that 'it will be saved to my profile' or I can change. When I hit change it will pull up and show all my boards but it disappears as soon as I pick the board to save to….back to a useless blank……major error in the update. Can't find any help on the website at all. UPDATE: just got an 'update' to the app….STILL DOESN'T WORK…CANNOT ACCESS ANY OF MY BOARDS.

More Ads then Content. Used to be a great app, it’s a shame what they’ve done to it, there’ll quite literally be more ads then actual posts on my feed/screen with 6 of the posts displayed, 4 of them being ads you’d find on a sketchy site and 2 of them being real content, then maybe 3 ads before 1 content post. I thought my phone had gotten virus before realizing the ugly clutter of scam site/pop up ads was just what the Pinterest experience has become. It actually wild how much of it is just ads.

Completely commercialized. This app is impossible to navigate because anything you click on is coated in ads. Most annoying are the video ads which scroll in front of the web content. This sucks my data and i avoid using Pinterest when I can avoid it.

HATE THE UPDATE. I can’t message my friends anymore, comment, or even see sections of my boards anymore. Whether it’s the update or a glitch I’m not sure. But I enjoyed the app much better before the update. Please change it back!

Constantly pushes sales. The app now constantly pushes sales for similar products to what you’re looking at with annoying white dots all over the photo and pop ups. What was a simple browsing experience now requires a lot more taps. Stop ruining the experience with your greed, Pinterest.

Love Pinterest ❤️❤️❤️. Amazing inspiration for literally everything in life!

PINTEREST doesn’t have any accountability. Since there is ABSOLUTELY no way to contact Pinterest directly this is my note to them and a warning for anyone thinking of downloading this thing. EVERY DAY a I receive MULTIPLE emails telling me Ive violated Pinterest policy except that all I do is RE-pin pins THEY'VE approved to be on their app. First, Pinterest demanded I provide my personal info (including address and phone number) to a complete stranger whom they didn’t bother providing me with THEIR information.so this made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to file a complaint or to respond to the claim at all. I am NOT going to give away personal information. How dare you? How dare you even ask me for my personal information? What if this person is not the real owner of this "pin" what if this person is just looking for my personal information TO HARM ME? Your policy is idiotic and DISGUSTING. Second, it would be nice if Pinterest had the capacity to check if copy right claims are after all true but I am not surprised by Pinterest's inefficiencies. Every day I receive an email about unidentified pins in my account that are rendered inappropriate by Pinterest. I don't even know if these emails are coming from trolls or if this is truly Pinterest. The problem here is that 1) if you do not show me the pin you are talking about then how am I supposed to learn what is inappropriate, especially because your stated rules are so elusive 2)when I've tried to contact Pinterest in order to gain more information on these so called "violations" there is absolutely no access to a complaints department or additional information, or way to directly contact Pinterest, giving Pinterest absolutely NO responsibility over their actions, or inefficiencies 3)every single one of the pins I have in my account are gathered from Pinterest itself. I never upload original content I've found anywhere else so I do not understand why am I being punished or held accountable for something Pinterest allowed to be placed in its application in the first place. Instead of trolling me with these ridiculous emails and telling me that I am violating your rules why don't you do your job and filter the pins more carefully before allowing the pins in the first place. I am not an employee of Pinterest nor do I have the time or experience to identify pins that violate copy right infringements or your "inappropriate content" rules when you put them up in the first place. I am extremely disappointed, and offended by Pinterest's policies and inefficiencies.

How could you not love it?. Pinterest is awesome and the app is super convenient!

what’s happening??. i literally can’t see my followers or my messages??? also, I only have a certain type of pins that show up when I click on a pin?? and sometimes it’s not even related to the pic I’m watching??? PINTEREST WHATS HAPPENING?????

the new rules punish teens more than creeps.. So I opened pinterest to find most of my boards ‘Temporarily Disabled’. I know that pinterest is trying to make their app safer for kids but I’m confused on why we as teenage girls have to pay for the actions of grown perverts. I had many collaborative boards because I have multiple accounts. Now I can’t access any of them. I heard other girls are getting their accounts full on banned and I can’t even express how upset that makes me. I understand why you guys are doing this but I can’t help but think that there has to be a better way to deal with this issue. I’m so sad. I hope this issue can be resolved because pinterest is my favourite app. Thanks I guess.

Du gros bonheur. On m'a dit un jour "quand ça va pas bien, mets des belles images dans ta tête".....Pinterest sert a ca ! Mais il permet aussi quand ça va bien, de rêver, de se remplir la tête de beaux projets et de défis les plus stimulants, les uns des autres. Je suis une fan finie !! 😁

Not working right. Can’t open pins. Just keep getting “more like this” pages.

LOVE it!!!!!. All the varieties it has to offer and especially all those FAB recipes!!!

INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS. I promise you no one cares about Pinterest watch. Why can’t apps just do what they do best instead of forcing us all to use the same apps all day long it’s ridiculous! You should move or get rid of Pinterest Watch and bring back individual sections and get rid of the loud video ads! What was wrong with photo ads??? Why are you doing this to your app?? What is wrong?

Everything but the ads!. Love Pinterest, but loved it more without the repetitive, non interesting ads that never cause me to buy anything. In fact, I purposely don't purchase through a Pinterest link

Suggestion approved. Love this app it gives great suggestions on stuff you show an interest in which leads to things you would or may have passed. Keep up the great work and creating happy pinners.

Ai. Ai ruined it

I hate ideal pins. as a ehm "content creator" ideal pins are horrible. they don't fit with my older videos in my boards and they look weird. I can't add personalized tags and they don't get nearly as many views as my older videos posted before the update... stop trying to be the dollar store tiktok, be pinterest again please.

Used to be great. This app used to be my absolute favourite, spent a ton of time on there. It’s been destroyed by its developers, I have no idea why, but they have taken away every useful feature it had. My feed is now full of irrelevant pins and when I try to search I get the same links over and over, usually to stuff they want me to buy. When someone comes up with an app that does what Pinterest used to do, I’ll download it in a heartbeat.

The ads man.... Y’all really need to chill on the ads. I can’t even listen to music while in the app anymore😭

Always Crashes!. I use Pinterest lots, even though over the years it seems to get worse honestly :( There are ads everywhere, and every time I’m on the app for more than 10 minutes it will crash and I have to reopen it. I keep making sure that it’s updated and everything, so I really don’t understand why it keeps doing this. I don’t see any reviews about it though, am I the only one who’s getting this??

Pop ups have ruined the website. I used to love Pinterest, so many great ideas for no matter what you were looking for. Now there are so many pop ups you can’t even get to what you’re looking for 😡 I rarely use the app anymore

????. why is the update so buggy? i can’t even see who’s following me, the messaging feature got removed, i can’t see my recently viewed, it won’t even let me save a pin to a certain section because NOTHING SHOWS UP ANYMORE.

Liked the app until …. I have been enjoying the Pinterest app for a while, but when I am presented with a screen requesting my personal information (in this case my birthday) in order to be able to continue using the app, it makes no longer want to use this app. I have removed the app from my devices, and I hope others do the same.

Review. I have been enjoying all the different subjects, ideas and crafts I found on Pinterest. Great selection!!

I hate the new update. I’m a big Pinterest user. Spend several hours per day and I hate the new update. I spend most of my time scrolling Pinterest on my phone and with the new update it’s hard to save images and to view full screen a pin of interest. Please go back to previous version!!!

Why have you done this ?. This app used to be perfectly functional but now it is completely dysfunctional . The purpose of Pinterest is to save “pins” and sort them into “boards” so that you may have an organized place to save various pictures/ links of different themes . Now , every pin you save automatically saves to something called “profile” and if you want to sort it into a specific board you have to go out of your way to change it which is a huge pain . In addition , you are no longer allowed to look at your boards so even if you sort your pins into them you’re only allowed to look at the pins all mixed together in an big ol’ mess . On top of that , now whenever you search for anything it automatically searches for only things that are for sale and you have to manually change it to search the whole of Pinterest . I have spent so much time struggling to find pins I was searching for only to realize it was searching in the “shopping“ tab and that was why I couldn’t find anything . So , essentially they took away the core purposes of the app for no good reason . When will companies start to understand that corporate greed is not going to make them money and is instead the best way to drive your business into the ground ? Please just put this app back to the way it was .

Good, but Inconsistent. I love pinterest and I think the new layout is quite interesting... However, there are many essential qualities of this app that I’ve carried issues with for a long time now. The inconsistency of their effectiveness, for one, is major. Sometimes I’ll get a notification on my phone saying someone has commented or saved one of my pins... But after opening the app and checking the notifications tab I’ll find nothing at all. This doesn’t always happen but usually it does and I find it super annoying. Another example of this issue with inconsistencies— or perhaps simply an issue in general—is when I DO manage to receive a notification from someone liking or responding to my comments on pins. Upon clicking on this notification I am not directed to the actual pin itself— but merely a non-interactive image of the pin with the comment section below it. Once again, it doesn’t always happen but is especially frustrating when I want to save this pin to another board or perhaps haven’t saved it at all and wish to do so... Yet I am unable to and my only resort is to take a screenshot and search it up on my own terms. (Even then it’s almost always unsuccessful.) Like I said, Pinterest is a great app with good means— but it is small annoyances like the ones aforementioned that keep me from calling it perfect.

Great app and endlessly entertaining. Used to be 5 stars. Lowered it because I do not like that some ads play sound. I am trying to browse on a bus or something when all of a sudden it blasts out this ad for a tv show. Very embarrassing. I love Pinterest because every time you open it there is something new to look at. There’s a never ending amount of things to see. Your feed is totally customizable so you can see things you’re interested in and avoid things you’re not. If Pinterest shows you something you’re not interested in you just say I don’t want to see things like that and it learns your preferences. You can keep everything you see saved on boards organized however you want. I don’t even have any other apps on my phone for entertainment except Pinterest because nothing else compares!! Also, you don’t have to be a girl to use Pinterest! There’s tons of guy things from cars to fishing and hunting to at home DIY projects. You can use Pinterest for literally everything in your life whether it’s cooking or clothes or entertainment or nature or music, it doesn’t matter.... it has everything!! Do not like the new borders around the pins when you open them.

Still great!. I love Pinterest and the app has made it so convenient for me to be able to save the things I like onto boards. Not only that but I can always find creative inspiration for my next art project or meal! It’s like having an online memory box where I can look back years and see how my tastes have changed and evolved. Plus I’ll stumble onto an old project, recipe, or general pin that I like and be able to use it again! The only thing that I would change about the app is a feature that has pulled up in the newest updates. For example, when I search “brunch ideas” there is a button on the lower center portion of the screen that says “Refine”. While I can appreciate the concept for it, it’s more of an annoyance to have it on top of where I’m scrolling to look at pins. I think it would be a better fit at the top of the screen in the same section as the search bar so that it eliminates the issue of a button covering part of my pins. It’s a small issue, however it can become quite cumbersome when I don’t want to refine anything. Even if there was a way to turn it off/close it when I don’t want it, that would be great! So far I haven’t been able to find out how to do that. Even with this, I still love the app!

More isn’t better. Update: I didn’t think you guys could make it worse, but you did. I get 3+ ads for every actual pin, so now it’s just a collection of ads instead of what I’m searching for. The algorithm has also changed and most of the pins are completely unrelated to what I’m interested in now. You guys should rename the app from “Pinterest” to “Pads” since you can’t pin your interests anymore and it’s full of scammy ads. I’ve used Pinterest since it’s start in 2011 and it’s sad to see greed ruining it. Original: More ads, more AI, more features that somehow make it harder to find what I’m searching for. I used to be able to scroll forever on Pinterest finding things that inspire me. Now I’m constantly clicking ads by accident (because they’re every other image). On top of that, I used to enjoy searching for something and seeing the wide variety of results. Now the “body inclusivity” nonsense means every single search result looks the same or the results are AI generated. I want to be able to see results that look like everyone — people who look like me and people who don’t. Inspiration means variety and unknown, not 30 images that all look the same. Even though I don’t use the tool when I search, it still gives me extremely limited results and all of the images look nearly identical. Really disappointing.

Oh.. Why bring the quick saves back? It was better without them, how can we tell if we saved that pin before or not it’ll involve clicking out of the photo and trying to save it to see. Advertisements are literally taking over and videos/shopping are at the top. I don’t want video/pictures to click into I want pictures to save, ideas to save not videos. I mean sometimes videos are okay I save them sometimes but they are repetitive videos at the top when looking for similar pictures, at least put them in the middle they are disruptive especially the ads when scrolling up. Fine! Keep the ads, get rid of the excessive video pop ups! I change my mind, so many excessive ads and random auto playing of advertisements, it’s too loud! Keep the videos! Also give us back pictures in comments, it’s an enjoyment to share especially art! Don’t take that away please! Update: Also, before the update into quick saves it was easier to save, didn’t have to scroll to the certain board I created. Now they are suggesting me my boards that I have that aren’t even nearly related to the photos I try to save…don’t even get me started on the automatic refresh when there are so many brilliant photos to be saved, I cry!🥲😂

This app is nearly unusable. I’ve used Pinterest for probably close to 10 years now and for a long time it was my absolute favorite place to be. The people here were nice, the site always listened to critiques and suggestions and changed the app accordingly, and that was one of my favorite parts about it, that it was always improving for the people who are on it every day. But these days I barely use Pinterest at all, it’s sad to watch the downfall. Every other picture is an ad, every pin has these stupid dots, lines, and shadows put over them that make it extremely difficult to even see the picture in the first place, all these dots and lines are doing is trying to sell you stuff and apply AI to an image that doesn’t need it, the whole place has been filled with AI, tapping on an image takes you to a shop instead of the site the picture is actually from, and they’ve taken away features that made it fun and easy to use. Overall it’s very clear that the people who run Pinterest are no longer designing this app for people, they’re designing it for corporations and brands. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t use Pinterest to shop, I look at this app for inspiration and ideas, for art and poetry and cute pictures of animals, and it has been a very long time since I’ve felt inspired or uplifted by Pinterest at all.

No help from Pinterest. Tech support does not exist. Unlike other apps, I cannot communicate with anyone. It’s not the first time I’ve tried to contact Pinterest. After 1-2 weeks I receive emails (paraphrased), “We haven’t heard from you so we assume the problem has been fixed.” I’ve tried to reply. Nothing has ever been fixed. When requesting help, I’m limited to entering their selection of the issue message: Renaming a Board. Because I had to choose from their list (“Other” is not included), I know I will receive a canned response on how to edit a board. I have edited boards but this is the first time I’ve experienced this glitch: I could not reorder pins on a board. I made a backup board and moved my pins to it. I DELETED the original board but cannot rename my backup: “You already have a board with that name.” After several attempts I removed and reinstalled the app. I continue to see “You already have a board with that name.” Update: Pinterest responded! Even though the original board was deleted, it takes [2 weeks?] for their system to recognize a new board by that name. However, re-pinning numerous pins to a (temporarily) new board is impractical. One would hope there’s a better solution. One would dare to hope Pinterest reveals it.

Used to love it.. App used to work great, literally for years. This past year it’s gone so far downhill it’s ridiculous. So many ads, and they all have multiple photos that you can scroll through, meaning rather than scrolling past it you scroll to the next image. It then puts that in your “history” feed to base the next pins it shows you off of, because you scrolled to it when you were scrolling through pins. Comments are broken, as many people have been saying - click to see 5 comments, then “tap to add first comment”. Finally, my “updates” tab where you see notifications in the updates screen (super not confusing to have an updated tab in an updates tab, for sure) is supremely broken, won’t load anything, and when it does load it’s to tell me to go to the home page and find some pins to save. I tried filing a bug report in the app, but there is no place to say the updates tab isn’t working, just messages, so I filed it under that, complete with a video of trying to reload it, and got the response “we know messages aren’t working and are working to fix it. Thanks!” And the immediate closing of my ticket and a “please rate your service” email (that also got as low a score as possible, for the record). If you don’t know what’s in your own app, then don’t mess with the features of the app and break other stuff. I’m really getting sick of it.

Unnecessarily censored. It might be that I am just getting used to these type of social media formats, but I was hoping to find more art nudes, interesting photography/photographers, experimental works, and perhaps links to auctions, galleries, etc... I joined having searched for an artist whose only bio was linked to Pinterest. This phobia of nudity or nude photography being considered pornography almost has the opposite intent: de legitimizes formats with the best “intentions” for random queries with no sense of values, aesthetics, social, or otherwise. Access to art is more important ultimately I am learning in this strange social experiment of internet media shuffle fraught with so much garbage. What we permit in terms of violence in both media and society, in pornographic policy making should be of greater concern than exposure to the many forms the human body presents as a muse and as artistic expression itself. As was always the case, Art follows nature. And if not, it is our nature. So silly and tiring does this game then become. I can’t participate in something so full of itself that pretends to be on a higher ground only to literally cover its buttocks ( breast’s, vagina, etc...). Maybe there was something I missed, but it seemed like a very deliberate decision and as a store of images, art, commerce, I can’t in good conscience support it.

Dear Pinterest. Please change the analytics back to the way they originally used to be. I’d like to be able to see ALL of the interactions I’ve had on my posts as a WHOLE. Not just the ones I’ve had this week or this month. Also in the “Find more ideas” tab. Please don’t feature pins in the thumbnail unless they are actually going to be there when I click on the tab. Scrolling endlessly to find 1 or 2 pins that looked cool, only for them to never be there and wasting all my time is not ok. It’s as annoying as it is stupid. I only clicked on it in the first place because I thought those pins would actually be there. Also, in the “Find more ideas tab” yet again, please don’t have it refresh all of the pins immediately after hitting the back button. Sometimes people just want to quickly go back to their board and check something out. That doesn’t mean I want all of the suggested pins to be gone when I come back. Yet again, this is annoying, and very unhelpful. Lastly. Please STOP trying to guess which boards the user wants to pin to next. Just put the last 3 boards I pinned to last up top and let the user handle it from there. It would be fine if your algorithm was actually good at guessing but it’s not, so plz just stop already.

awesome but. hi! i love pinterest, i’ve been using it since like 2012 when i got my first ipod touch. It’s been awesome and i have like, a gazillion boards for fashion and art references and nerdy projects and i love it BUUUTTTT ya’ll switched up the way we choose the board we’re saving a pin to and i am not okay. I had the max number of boards (150?) and then when the max number rose i’ve continued to make more and more boards and honestly??? manually scrolling past every single board i’ve made since i was 14 instead of the alphabet slider is TOUGH but then to top it off, whenever i pass the board im looking for, when i try to scroll up it just closes the whole screen and im back starting at the pin i wanted to save but couldn’t. It is such a hassle and the select-a-board screen is so sensitive that sometimes it takes me like 3-4 tries to pin something. and when i use a board that has a ton of sections in it, i have to successfully navigate the new way to pin things ✨twice✨ to actually pin something. I’m in my 20s, i grew up on tech, im not dumb. please at least make the slider less sensitive, and i’d really appreciate getting the alphabet slider back. i’m dying 🥺

pinterest is GREAT, but theres a few things i dislike about it!. first of all, i wanna say that pinterest is the absolute BEST way to get inspiration!! it doesn’t matter what type, pinterest has everything. theres something for everyone! as an artist, i love specifically saving pins for my drawing board :) i also love how accepting and respectful the community is. i really think that i feel safe on pinterest! one thing that annoys me a little bit though, is how when people reply to your comments/like your comments most of the time it doesn’t give you a notification. another thing is that pinterest gives somewhat useless notifications. like the “soandso commented on a pin you saved!” i feel like that one is pretty useless, and ive heard many other pinterest users think that as well. the last problem i have with pinterest is when you want to search up something, a lot of the time it says “no pins found” which annoys me because i would just be searching up something simple. Despite a few issues, pinterest IS a great app. and i will definitely still be using it! it really has boosted my art journey + inspired me to start other hobbies :) Thanks for reading. (i hope the creators see this)

Half the time, it doesn’t work!. Whether it’s on chrome mobile, chrome desktop, or either app, after pinning a bunch of pins, it simply stops working. I’ve cleared cashe, logged out, logged back in. After a while it will say “oops, you’ve been logging in a lot. Either wait 30 minutes or log in with Facebook or google.” It’s ridiculous! If I want to pin 100 times, why won’t it let me? I’ve seriously spent two days trying to pin 150 pins. I’ve only been able to pin 97. It’s like it doesn’t want you to use it or something! I agree with everything admod08 said in her “so sick of it” review. While browsing pics in chrome or safari, if you tap on the photo that is on Pinterest, it forces you to download the app. Then when you want to go back to the photos you were looking at, Pinterest takes you to the home page. I’ve gotten to the point where if I see a pic that says it’s on Pinterest, I just look over it and find a different pic. I hate how Pinterest has completely taken over everything. We have no control. It’s not very user friendly. You want to go to the website where the pic is, and it’s so hard to figure out what to tap, that half the time I can’t find the website. It takes me to other pins or to the homepage of the person who pinned it. I just want to go to the bloody website where the original pic is!

Beginning to become disappointed... look, i am an avid Pinterest defender. i believe it is one of the most useful and aesthetically pleasing apps out there and has a format that is simple enough to get used to. but over the last year or so i’ve been getting disappointed in the newer updates. im all for change and growing as a company and moving with the industry, but Pinterest used to be able to cater and filter specifically to pictures and pins that i was searching for. i think thats what made Pinterest so easy to enjoy and find glee in making boards. i really liked the feature of making your profile as one of your existing boards and then boom, that feature seems to have just been removed completely and if you change it to something new you can’t remove the cover at all. and the small topic/tabs being completely removed from searches and making it so difficult to find specific pins. its just the small details that are coming and going without reason. i used to really love this app and i still do but it is just so frustrating. i really hope there can be improvements in the future because all this is causing is me to be constantly frustrated with the app.

Not the same anymore. I’ve been using Pinterest since the beginning, when it was invite-only. I planned my wedding with Pinterest, I stumbled onto so many cool ideas and life hacks and interesting people... Pinterest legit made my life *better.* Now I hardly use the app at all. It’s almost all ads, and I hardy ever see content from the people I follow. Even worse is the search function, which is... pathetic, to say the least. Pinterest used to be fantastic for helping me find inspiring images and links for just about *anything* I was looking for; now searches only yield a handful of results, all of which are ads, *none* of which are actually relevant to my search. I’ve been using Google image search a lot more now. Pinterest has become essentially useless to me. I’m not seeing content I like, I’m not able to search for content I like, and with so many ads, the “social” aspect of this so-called “social media platform” is nonexistent. Seriously, what’s the point? I’m holding out hope that developers will take critiques like this seriously and restore some of the functions that made Pinterest such a great app, but... I’m losing patience. If things don’t get better I’ll probably just delete the app and save space on my phone... why keep a useless app around?

High Praise, but why change the feed on ‘following’ to single pix?. I note the feed for ‘home’ is thankfully the same as before, with multiple pix across the page, but the feed for ‘following’ is single, large format pix., making it difficult to consume many photos for time spent. Please, please change this back! That said, I have been a long-time Pinterest user and have seen it go through a lot of changes. I have to say they have been pretty responsive to requests, overall. You can now opt between suggested pin feed, or feed from people you follow. You can once more arrange boards to suit. You can also choose how you want to view boards, 3 across, 4 across, or a page of small thumbnails. Also, as many Secret boards as you like. Something for everyone. It used to be far more social, as far as associating people with their pins, even when they were re-pinned...although problems sprang up with people being very protective about the artistry of their boards and discouraging people from pinning more than a few pins a day, and so things changed. I agree with many that the promoted pins can be a bit much, and I would prefer not being automatically taken to a site. Still, it is a great app and still allows for lots of creativity and enjoyment.

Great app, bad new update.. Hey, I love Pinterest! I have been using it for a few years with no complains until recently. The new update restricting teenagers from using boards with multiple people had made the app less fun. I have many boards with my friends that we love saving pins to, but we can’t use them anymore. The only we we could still have shared boards is by making new accounts as “adults” but my friends don’t necessarily want to desert their current accounts. I understand and appreciate wanting to keep teens safe online. However this isn’t really helping. Pinterest isn't the typical social media app, there isn’t a lot of interacting with other people compared to others. Within group boards, you don’t even communicate directly with other people, all you do is save pins. The only “harmful” thing that could happen is someone saving an offensive pin, which could be prevented by having some form of community guidelines about pin posting. There really isn’t anything bad or harmful about group boards. Please consider giving back that feature, otherwise, let me know what the real reason for restricting these boards were since I cant see how group boards are harmful to teen safety. Thanks!

i have a bone to pick rn. I love Pinterest, and i have been using it since 2018 so far. Pinterest has always been my muse for outfit creating. For example, if i dont know what to wear with a specific article of clothing, i will just look up on pinterest, “Black skirt casual outfits” and normally i will gets lots of pins of cute outfits. but recently ive noticed that every single time i look up something like that, all i get is products. now dont get me wrong, the product pins can be quite useful ive found, but for heavens sake i just want to find outfits i dont want to buy something! and when i mean thats all i get, i mean its literally just pages upon pages of products whether its like shein or urban outfiters. it would help a lot of there was a way to filter those pins out. thats all i came here to say since idk how to send direct feedback, but if youre reading this and have the same problem, it would be helpful if you wrote or sent something similar to try and get pinterest's attention on this. after all, pinterest’s entire premise is to be able to find ideas for things you already have in your possession, not to gets thousand's of links to either expensive or morally wrong ways, (shein/temu) to get certain items.

i have never been this whimsical. this app, beautiful in every way. I’ve never felt more sillier in my entire life. I want to thank this absolutely amazing, silly, delicious app for fueling my unhealthy addiction with looking at rivers cuomo pictures & silly cat images at 3:47 in the morning. Never has an app made me feel this autistic. My phone is always weezed out with the absolutely exhilarating photos of my favorite virgin band, weezer, that are constantly put out. I giggle, kick my feet, twirl my hair, and fricking cream whenever I get access to unlimited photos of my beautiful weezletts. Truly, wholeheartedly, thank you, for helping me create the shrine of my husband, with over 900+ photos dedicated just to him. Sure, my phone is on its last speckle of booty hair, but that won’t stop me from tweaking the moment I see the absolutely tear jogging smile of scott shriner because damnit has an old man never been finer. I ode my soul to this whimsical app. For not them, I wouldn’t have the photos of my (besides matt and mikey) 4 husbands that are in a pink triangle of love, with, their fan that they don’t know exists. I’ll go eat my candy with the pork and beans, see y’all later. Stay weezed out 🔥

Good in the past, but terrible updates!. I have been using the Pinterest app for years now, and these updates may be terrible enough for me to finally leave. First of all, the stories/slides function is confusing and difficult to use. If I’m ever swiping through content it’s a hassle to get through these stories that often have nothing to do with what I’ve pinned in the past, which brings me to my next point: the algorithm. I am constantly getting both suggested pins and targeted ads that have nothing to do with any boards or searches I’ve made! My home feed is full of ads that I am not interested in with very little actual content, much of which is irrelevant as well. It seems like the “hide pin” feature doesn’t even do anything to improve my feed. To me, it seems like Pinterest is struggling to remain relevant in the wake of Instagram and TikTok by introducing new features and changing up how content reaches viewers, but I think I speak for the majority of Pinterest users when I say that people don’t use Pinterest in the same way we use other platforms. There’s no need for flash and flair when Pinterest is already a well-designed social media platform with a specific user base in mind, and making these changes just interrupts the way people use the app.

Love Pinterest, Not Updates. I used to use Pinterest more than any other social media but since these latest updates I’ve been using it less and less. Every time I pin something, 75% of the following pins are the same subject or even the same pin repeated. I like how the app is recognizing my interests but I can’t keep my followers over the same chicken recipe. I also miss the circles in the bottom corner since it was able to easily see some related pins without getting lost in the “more like this” pages. It was also nice to see who pinned what on the homepage so I can continue to follow people who use the app and unfollow people who no longer do without having to go onto every pinner’s page. Something that Pinterest doesn’t have that I have been craving sense the beginning: SUB-BOARDS!!!! I hate going onto someone’s page and they have over 100 boards and at least 10 are the same subject. With sub-boards pinners could follow and create one board and use smaller boards within the maim board for sub-categories. Say drinks for example and the sub-boards would be alcoholic beverages, smoothies, infusions, etc. Our pages would be so organized and things would be even easier to find with such large boards.

What happened with the new updates?. Pinterest has always been my favorite, because I loved that it wasn’t like other social media. But lately I personally do not like the new updates. First you cannot message anyone on the app, and now you cannot see your recently views pins unless going to home feed tuner. Even then you can’t even click on the pins. Also, I get it that they have to show ads on your home page but I’m tired of seeing a bunch of scams like SHEIN and fetch and there are wayyy too many ads. I’ve also recently starting seeing in inappropriate content and comments that I never used to see. Ive even had to report some. Especially being young that is not something I like seeing. Also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE lower the age for keeping a profile private. I appreciate them trying to keep us safe but as someone who doesn’t have any social media, I enjoyed posting and getting more followers. It’s not a big deal but taking that away made Pinterest much less fun. Finally I really miss having the video side where you can watch “shorts”. Pinterest has to stop taking things away! Of course I still love it though I just thought I would share my opinion no hate :) .

I love this app but a few small bugs :D. Sometimes when I’m on the app the pins do one of three things, 1. Freeze and play the audio and show the progress bar on the bottom but it stays on the same beginning frame 2. Doesn’t play the audio or does #1 but without the audio 3. Doesn’t load/ doesn’t unpause and stays frozen with no chance of fixing it. I REALLY request you get these bugs in order because it’s causing a pretty bad app experience ALSO. I find it incredibly frustrating and stupid when something comes up on my feed and it says “unavailable the creator has removed this pin” WHAT THE HECK!? Pinterest please. If the creator has removed it why does it still exist and why is it still on my feed? If there’s nothing to be seen don’t put it on my feed please. One last thing. Most of the time when I swipe up to get out of a pin instead of pressing the arrow it just turns into a black screen! No buttons, no pin, just a black screen. The same thing will happen just out of nowhere im just watching a pin and it goes black. It’s so annoying!! Please fix these bugs because I love Pinterest so much Another thing that just started happening. When I scroll down on a pin to see pin associations there’s only like five when there used to be at least fifty like what the heck!? This is starting to get really irritable.

Great but a HUGE problem... I have LOVED Pinterest for long time but there has been a huge problem now that I just found out. Today I was going on Pinterest to see how my posts were doing but I have some followers that I have gotten from my posts but when I checked my followers it was zero. Like I said I had some followers and people that checked my posts but when I reset my iPad and checked if it was a glitch but it wasn’t. When I checked on my phone if it stayed like that and it did. I don’t know if it is a glitch but maybe try fixing that glitch because is staying like that for a while. Just don’t get me wrong, I even reset my phone as well but it stayed like that. I don’t know if this is a glitch or something like that but I’m quite serious about this and is really getting at the point that I don’t want to use the app anymore(I don’t know if I’m being dramatic but I stayed on Pinterest for a while but I never experience this ever) When time passed because I thought it really was a glitch but it stayed zero and I couldn’t even check all my posts to see. I hope you would read this message and if you do, please fix this glitch.

love this app, hate the new update. I love this app and use it for almost everything, and my boards and pins saved are really important to me. i’ve been using it for almost three years, and in that time i made a different account for a different reason. i added myself to some of my original boards. a few weeks later, that new account was deactivated so i went back to using my main. when the account closed, i assumed it was off the boards i had added it to because i couldn’t try to remove it without the app glitching and sending me back to the home page. i didn’t think much of it until yesterday, when i opened the app to find that all of my boards which i had previously “collaborated” with myself on were “temporarily disabled”. there is no way to remove my old account from them and now i cannot access boards that i rely on or just use consistently. it just tells me the board is currently disabled and links a page to the new updates, where it talks about teen safety but does not indicate why my board is disabled or how to solve this problem. i absolutely understand the importance of safety on the platform, but i, along with many other people, am not being unsafe in any way in the platform, i just want my boards back. i love this app, but this is very frustrating and disappointing. please fix this.

following. the statement below was my previous rating, till I realized that Pinterest created an old-school space under the "following" tag where I only see images from people I'm following... exactly why people fell in love with Pinterest to begin with. thank you so much for going back to the basics, and even though you still have these whack ads, they're on the "home" section, not the "following" one, so yay!!! please don't muck it up with ads on the "following" section. what you did is genius, and now everyone should be happy. old review: why, Pinterest? why? I don't understand why you continue to push pins from people I don't follow. I don't follow them for a reason. don't you understand that pinterest is visual therapy for many, that is, they log in and get much relief from seeing all the ideas they've pinned as well as pins from people or boards they follow. but then we see ugly images that are supposedly taken from our own interests, and they muck up the whole flow of image therapy. then I have to click "hide" one image after the other after the other until I get so sick and tired of seeing the same ugly pics and just close the app. you guys are whack.

Wish it could be five stars.... ... but the app keeps freezing and crashing! My iPhone is completely up to date software-wise, and I’ve downloaded the latest version of the app, so that’s up to date, too. Now, I love Pinterest. It gives me ideas and let’s me enjoy my different fandoms and all kinds of stuff. I can get lost scrolling through my homepage for hours! Except, far too often, I’ll be happily scrolling along, pinning things to different boards, and everything freezes so I can neither keep going, not go back, nor exit the pin I was on to see the rest of the page. Sometimes I can go to another section of the app, like search or my profile, but a lot of times the screen goes black and won’t respond until I exit the app. And then, if I simply re-open the app it’s still frozen. I have to close out of it completely and re-start the app to see anything or have any interaction, and by then I’ve lost the pin I was on and I just have to hope I can find it again. It’s very frustrating! I’ve rage-quit Pinterest, something that seems impossible, but that happens at least once a week, because the freezing and the blank screen happens several times a day.

Great App but Needs Some Work.... Hi! Before I go into my suggestions I would just like to say I don't leave ratings a whole lot so I don't know if there is a proper way to set up my comment LOL. Anyway I think this app is AWESOME. It runs really well and the quality is just amazing. There is one improvement I have. There are A LOT of pins that have some serious vulgar language. Now I understand you can't really tell people to stop swearing but maybe there is a way to block these pins? Of course I know you can block pinners but maybe instead there is a way to block the pins that have vulgar language instead of blocking the pinner. So you are just blocking one of their pins and not all of there boards. Maybe like a child-friendly mode? It is just really annoying when you are just scrolling through your home feed and boom there is this pin that swears like crazy. I have already turned off recommend pins and unfollowed people that pin pins that have vulgar language but I still run in to this problem. I just don't want to see that stuff. Anyway I don't know if this is possible but if it is I think it would be an awesome improvement. Again this is a great app and I totally suggest downloading it.

So tired of constant “we removed a pin” emails. I love Pinterest, I do. But lately it’s gotten so frustrating. I constantly get emails saying I saved a pin that violated their Terms of Service, when I’ve never saved anything as such. For example, they told me a pin I saved to my art reference board featuring a couple kissing, holding a baby, and being silly together contained “adult content.” There was absolutely no adult content in the pin. Not only that, but with each email they threaten to deactivate your account if you continue to supposedly violate their TOS, and I’ve heard too many accounts of people who had this actually happen. Many of these people said that they got reported for saving pins of FOOD, for heck’s sake. But the ironic thing is that Pinterest gets you in trouble for things that do NOT go against their TOS, but doesn’t actually crack down on the things that DO. For example, I reported a pin featuring NSFW art of a character who was a MINOR, and Pinterest reviewed my report and said nothing was wrong with the pin. I just don’t get it. I love the concept of Pinterest but I live in permanent fear that they’ll just terminate my account even though I never save anything that goes against their TOS. Which, why punish the person who saved the pin that came across their feed? Shouldn’t you punish whoever originally posted the violating image? I’m just really tired of it.

Terrible customer service and app performance. Misrepresentation of maximum allowable store pins.. For the las several months I’ve consistently tried to understand how the Pinterest can misrepresent the maximum number of stored pins as being 200,000 The embarrassing Pinterest app algorithm doesn’t send error message prior any such 200,000 pin limit. It allowed 55,000 additional pins to saved before an error message was sent to user that they reached their number of stored pins. Meanwhile, the number of boards allowed has increased four fold? That’s absurd. The capricious response to question about why someone is forced to tear six years of work because the app developers didn’t include a basic feature that prevents any pin count over the alleged 200,000 pin limit. Just so I’m clear the solution to this problem issue is do nothing but adopt intransigence as customer service tool. The poor performance behavior of Pinterest app isn’t the burden of the user. The ethical response to the problem is to add a solution to the problem in Pinterest app feature, not insult the intelligence of career customer service reps like myself. What I described was clear example of maxim, you get what you pay for. My phone could never get away with redundancy and deflection as response to horrible lack foresight by Pinterest app developers.

Starting to dislike Pinterest overall. This is more about Pinterest itself than the app. Every fourth or so pin in my feed is an ad now, so the platform is pretty much useless to me because all I can think about as I’m scrolling is if I’m looking at another ad or not because I kept accidentally clicking them, which then takes me to the ad provider’s website page and away from my Pinterest feed. This to me almost feels like a strategy Pinterest is using: more ads = more people clicking the ads = more revenue. While I understand the mindset behind ad revenue and don’t disagree with it, Pinterest incorporates way too many ads to the point that it’s excessive and not as fun of a platform as it used to be. I can barely look at the pins by users I wanted to actually follow without seeing the same ads over and over again. I don’t know if it’s as many ads on the computer or not, but I definitely won’t be using this app again anytime soon. I’m disappointed in what Pinterest has become, and a happy medium needs to be found for how many ads are in user feeds. I’ll be using Instagram as my source of learning about new products and experiences from now on, benefits I used to get from using Pinterest. While Instagram has ads, they aren’t nearly as frequent and irritating as those on Pinterest.

Amazing app but I have an issue. So let me start. I absolutely love Pinterest! It allows you to do so many different things while also finding inspiration for whatever it may be. And, one of my personal favorite features about it was the “watch” tab where you could watch small shorts on things that might interest you. However, a few days ago I started having an issue where the “watch and browse” tabs were completely gone and instead it basically gave me a page where it was in a way a gigantic “browse” tab that just said “all” with all of the names of your boards that you could see things that might interest you. However, I was able to get it back by deleting the app and downloading it again. But, unfortunately this didn’t fix my problem. You see, after I redownload the app it was back and then when I was done; I closed out my app (I have an iPhone so I did that how you normally would). And then, when I went back onto the app later, it went back to me needing to delete the app to be able to have the “watch” tab back. Please help!!!!!!

i love this app but there’s one thing that i’d almost make it 3 stars. i’ve loved this app since quarantine. i’ve saved thousands of pins. but since i started it removed photos on pins, creator circles removed, and comments and dms turned off (which i understand because i’ve heard of the situations). as a normal user it’s almost 5/5 stars. but as a creator it’s at best a 3. im hoping one day the creator circles will be back but im not super hopeful. but it’s very frustrating because i’m getting no engagement. i have almost 400 followers and i might get 1 person liking it. i get a single comment and i’ll be practically jumping excited. its just annoying because i used to get engagement on almost every pin. it used to be a community of my favorite people and artists. now it’s hard for me to find their stuff and for them to find my stuff. i wish the creator circles would come back. i almost want to give pinterest a 3 for the updates but i really like this app so ill give it 4. im critiquing it because i want this amazing app to be more creator friendly. so pinterest if you are seeing this please consider changing things. the updates are getting annoying and the point of them should be to bring features TO pinterest not AWAY

Board sections finally came and are amazing!!! (Need a couple fixes though). I’ve been asking for sub-boards for years and Pinterest finally delivered! Although you previously had keyword terms show up in boards, you couldn’t create your own, so it wasn’t as great. But now you can! The only bad thing though is I’m seeing a few glitches on mine. Since we can create our own sections within boards, I tried to combine a couple of my original boards into sections on just 1 board. I noticed that every time you edited the location of a group of pins from one board to another, you had to close back out of the app afterwords because the other board wouldn’t appear in the new destination list when you tried to switch some more over again. Then, since I thought all of the pins from one board had successfully been moved to the other board, I deleted the original, only to find out for some reason that they hadn’t actually been moved to the other one. I lost an entire board today😢 please fix! Also maybe have suggestions as to which pins belong in which sections? Other than that though, the new feature is great.

Love Love Love Pinterest, FYI Version 7.41.2 Bug. I love Pinterest. I’ve been using it almost every day for over 7 years. Love the App! It’s only gotten. Better Love the content and the concepts! I love the algorithm, always shows me perfectly related searches and ideas for crafts for look books! I’m able to collaborate with people and create coordinated projects. I use it for vision boarding my goals, picking an outfit in the morning, and putting together my dreams! It’s very easy to use! Very forgiving of any mistakes I make with my fat fingers. One bug. In version 7.41.2 the app keeps freezing on me. I’ll be scrolling and my screen will freeze and the app will, after a couple minutes of fighting, shut down. Or I’ll be in a post and it’s just unresponsive. When this happens I usually close it, open another app and it’s working fine, my phone isn’t frozen so I give Pinterest a moment and it works again but it’s been happening almost every time I open the app! Never got a bug like this that lasted this long, usually you guys are good at sending updates to catch them in time before I loose my mind. Update soon please!! Keep up the good work

Where did the “Like” button go?. I’m all about Pinterest. I love the recipe and meal ideas, the seasonal outfit ideas, the cookie & cake decorating ideas and the ability to find awesome ideas for parties I’m planning. When I first started using Pinterest, years ago, not only could you save a pin, you could click on a little heart and like it. Where did that go? Now, on another person’s board, I saw a little lightbulb in the bottom left of the pin that said to tap and hold for reactions. This is great but when I went into my board to check out my pins it didn’t have that feature. I’d kind of like the option to like a pin again, especially pins personal pins, not just re-pinned things. Will everyone eventually get these reaction buttons? I really hope so. I guess what I’m saying is it would be great if someone saw a pin that was of, say, my own personal content, they would both have the option to “Like” it and to re-pin it. It be nice for the person who’s putting their own content on Pinterest to know if their followers like what they’re pinning. Other than that I think maybe you could slow down on the ads a little. I know Pinterest is free, which is fabulous, but ads popping up more than once or twice during a video is really annoying.

Sooooo buggy 😖. I’ve been using Pinterest for, now I can honestly say 10 years in 2023, and ever since this new update happened it’s like the app doesn’t know how to hold itself up. It freezes and lags often and when I want to look at all of my boards they don’t all show up. If I want to see all of the boards I created I have to scroll past the 6 that are on top, scroll half way through my unorganized ideas, and only after my profile page glitches and I’m brought back to the top can I view all of my boards. It’s a huge problem that has prompted me to use the app significantly less over time. Another thing is when I get a low battery notification my entire home page will refresh and ideas will disappear after I click “okay.” That doesn’t make any sense at all. Also, let us post pictures in the comments again! There isn’t a single craft/ recipe/ idea I haven’t seen where there’s at least one person saying “I wish I could show you guys a picture, it came out great.” The Pinterest community overall has its issues just like any but we really love sharing ideas and our experiences we had trying out different pins, it’s why we fell it love with it in the first place. Bring back some of the simplicity!

Unable to report sexual/harmful accounts.. EDIT: (january 21, 2023) When I look through my boards and then hit the go back button, it refreshes and takes me back to the top. Extremely annoying and unnecessary. Please fix this!!!! It almost makes the app unusable. I love this app but i’m rating it one star in hopes this catches the attention of the developers. The amount of accounts popping up that are filled with sexual content, including some accounts that have boards of CHILDREN and the boards have the most horrible sexual titles ever, is horrifying and very concerning. I wish there was a way to report the whole account for sexual content/pedophilia/children in danger, etc… but when i try to it says pinterest ONLY removes accounts that post misleading content and spam or unsolicited commercial messages. I would really love for this app to be a safe space for all, but it seems impossible at this point. There are so many pictures of young girls and children on this app, and when you see the comments it’s full of these perverted accounts and there’s no way to be able to report the account as a whole, only the comment itself, and who knows if that actually does anything to ban the account. Please please please, give us a way to report these accounts for endangerment, explicit content, etc… and let us receive updates on our reports. Pinterest should be safe for everyone.

The Algorithms Have Really Gone Downhill. I have used Pinterest for over ten years. I have loved this app/website. There is nothing else like it. Over the last couple of years, though, my feed quality has really suffered. I used to see new pins based on every one of my interests, which I had carefully cultivated. I could go months without seeing the same pin twice, and my feed was full of variety and color. Now, my feed seems to be based only on recent activity, so if I only pin to three boards over a few days or a week, I will only see content related to those three boards with maybe 1/20 being outside of those topics. If I only pin from my home feed, that means that I’m reinforcing this funnel until my home feed looks the same every single day. If I pass over a pin without saving it, it can show up in my feed again and again, making things feel stale. I’ll also see pins related to topics I don’t like, but even though I hide it, that topic will show up in my feed again and again as if I had never touched it. Also, when I do a search I’ll only get a few pages’ worth of related pins before it starts looking like my home feed, with results that have nothing to do with what I’m searching for. I still use the app because there’s no other available resource like it, but it’s no longer my favorite place for inspiration.

This app is unusable and ruined.. I used to be a super avid Pinterest user — probably my most used app, taking up most of my screen time. I loved having a peaceful, relaxing app to create aesthetic boards and organize pins. That is gone. Out the window. This app has become the opposite of relaxing and is completely unusable. The amount of ads are absolutely INSANE. More ads than actual pins? Do you hate your user base? I really don’t understand. And the few normal-looking pins that DO show up are always unrelated, low-quality and littered with random captions that you cannot delete, completely ruining any sense of aesthetic this app had left. A photo of a girl with a ponytail? Finally, something to save to my hairstyles inspo board — oh. Of course, the caption reads “18+ Jikook Sexy Mafia Fanfic 🔞😈” … Alright. Never mind. My home feed is a visual nightmare. If that weren’t enough, the bugs and crashes make the app almost literally painful to use. The search and filter function is unusable at the moment, you literally cannot filter anything without a giant error message or the app just crashing. I am angry, spiteful even, at whoever developed this app into the ground. Whoever made Pinterest the monstrosity that it is now, I hope the ad revenue is worth losing your entire user base. Actually, I don’t. I hope you suffer for a long time. You are the worst.

Great App But Minor Problems. I really love this app, I use it everyday and it is probably my most used app. However, there are a lot of issues that are very annoying. For one thing, one of my boards got age-restricted, even though there is nothing inappropriate, and since the board is “temporarily removed”, I can’t even fix the issue. I think this happened because I accidentally set my age to be under 18, and was going to fix it, but then they updated and now I can’t. I can’t find any info on how to fix it, either, which is very annoying. The worst thing on that board was maybe something that swore, so not very bad. Another thing that just started happening today (might be a glitch) is that whenever I click on a pin, it doesn’t take me to the pin, it takes me to the “more like this section” I would have been able to access if I had clicked on the pin. I’m going to try my normal glitch fixes, but it so far has been super annoying. The worst thing is, whenever I click on a pin the more like this, it just takes me to the more like this for the pin I clicked on. I hope this is just a glitch, not an update, and gets resolved soon.

Great platform with some room for improvement. I love Pinterest - It is by far the best visual search platform and I love that I can find ideas for just about anything while sharing some of my own. It does however have some bugs that need fixing. The biggest is the inability to update my profile information, particularly my website. No matter how many times I update my website and save it, the old url is still there. That’s not great as a business account. I had the same thing happen with my email and profile photo although after a few tries those finally did update. Another minor thing that I’ve noticed for a while…if I zoom into an image, the image freezes. There’s no way to X out or go back so I have to force close the app and lose my place. It would also be nice to “go back” to an earlier version of my discovery page. Sometimes I’ll go to the page, see something I’m interested in, but then the page refreshes before I get the chance to click on it. I also wish there was a way to bulk update the website linked on a post without having to do each post one at a time. These are some suggestions and ways I think the app could be better.

Nice app with frustrating bugs/features. Content is lovely, Pinterest is good at recommending stuff I like. I also enjoy that images can have any dimensions. But there’s a few issues that drive me crazy. 1. The comments. Sometimes there’s ones missing, sometimes it says there’s comments but none show up, sometimes you can’t click on replies. I’m not sure how but it never works completely. Just spent 20 minutes trying to post 4 replies and failed, so I’m a bit frustrated. 2. Zooming in on an image is very difficult, since it opens “more like this” which covers about a third of the screen. You can’t even scroll down to the bottom of the image without having to keep your finger on the screen so it doesn’t get covered by More Like This again. 3. The visual search button on the bottom right that sometimes covers content there the bottom, you can zoom in to read text underneath the white magnifying glass, but then you gotta deal with the More Like This pop up. 4. Personal preference, but I don’t like the story format that automatically switches image, I can never read/look at everything in the image before it already moves on to the next, so I have to click to go back constantly. As far as I know there’s no way to block that form of content.

mixed feelings. pinterest is great in theory, but it has so many glitches and bugs that are just never fixed and it makes it hard to use. i also hate how i get emails and notifications whenever a pin that i didn’t even make gets taken down. this on its own is stupid, but it’s even stupider that i get in trouble for a pin that, i repeat, I DIDN’T EVEN MAKE. my account has gotten suspended for this once before a few months ago and i had to email pinterest to get it back, which fortunately only took about a week. the thing is i never post anything on this app, i literally only save things and it’s kind of unacceptable that this has happened for something that wasn’t really my fault. it’s often for “adult content”, but nothing i can recognize from the blurred picture (i normally can’t even recognize the pin so how am i supposed to know the problem) is adult. it’s always just memes. i can deal with the glitches, but this is just something else entirely. additionally, i couldn’t even see the blurred pictures until recently because i didn’t get pinterest notifications, only emails that had links to the pins. unfortunately, these links literally never worked so i had absolutely no idea what was going on. please fix this, other users shouldn’t be getting punished for things someone else did.

Great app. Pinterest is a great app!! You can find hairstyles, recipes, outfit ideas, wallpapers, TikTok’s, and the list goes on and on. Pinterest lets you save multiple pins to one board and you can name the board for whatever it is used for (eg., hairstyles, recipes, outfit ideas, etc.) and the cool thing is you can add collaborators which can add pins to the board as well. There’s also something called sections so say I were to make a board and it was called recipes, I can add sections so that I can separate breakfasts from lunches from dinners from deserts. Boards and sections make it easier to find what you’re looking through in your saved pins. Sections help you separate things while boards are where you save a specific topic of things to. The only downside to Pinterest is that it can get very addicting so make sure to limit your time on there or you will get caught up for hours and hours at a time. I still struggle with the problem, but yes, overall Pinterest is amazing!! They stay consistent with updates and never disappoint!!! OH, AND IT’S COMPLETELY FREE TOO! - 5 stars for you Pinterest, you’ve earned it!!!! Keep up with the hard work 💪🏻

Pinterest used to be fun. Pinterest has gone completely downhill. It’s now a slightly different version of every other video based app in circulation. It’s clear that they’ve shifted their application to contain almost identical algorithms to IG, TikTok, and the like. Pinterest USED to be a fun collage type bulletin board where you could plan out projects and brainstorm. It’s now a poorly designed algorithm based app that will spit out droves of the exact same things the moment you look at or pin something. Looking at a couple pairs of linen pants does not mean I ONLY want to see linen pants. What nonsense. I so deeply wish they weren’t trying to be competitors of the likes of IG & TikTok, but everything must be monopolized upon at this point. I never thought of Pinterest as a social media app, but they sure dedicated their time and resources to change that. And what’s worse is that they did so and it isn’t a GOOD social media app. What used to be a fun, low stakes app is now filled with the same slightly agape mouthed influencers I can’t seem to escape on IG. Pinterest was an app for creators and creatives, NOT content pushers. What a disappointment, truly. If you remember the fun, ease, and excitement of Pinterest from five years ago, this is not that, and what a shame it is.

How my day just gets better!. Since really joining Pinterest, not just sneaking onto the site now and then, I have become a bigger person in heart and soul. Not just counting the extra fat on my bottom that seems to grow bigger and bigger because of the ‘Rona virus and me just sitting on it. Any fat around my waist is also because of the that virus but here I need to put blame where blame is due. ON ME! But just a little on Pinterest too...because I become glued to the site for hours on end, looking at pictures of wonderful foods...I swear they just leave the internet screen and absorb right into my body. Really it doesn’t happen that way. Joking people, just joking. But not about the becoming absorbed in the subject matter. It is such a wonderful site that takes me away from everything for awhile. Thank you Pinterest, a heartfelt thank you for all the deliciousness I see, the beautiful art, the intricate sewing, the gorgeous quilting and paperwork, the ‘everything’ to see with just the tap of a button. How fortunate we are to view things from our very own country and the countries of other like individuals. What an honor. I am honored. Thank you.

Where do I begin. I have used Pinterest for years. And it used to be so great, i found it so relaxing, this is the only app that I consistently use. What happened to you?! 1) the ads are so suffocating, I absolutely hate them. They make it where unless you are on your personal boards that you’ve pinned, you cannot not see ads. I miss when you used to be able to search something and on the top of the screen would be more ideas to help “pin” point what you specifically are looking for. I would pay to have ads removed or least see way less then there is. 2) there’s been this annoying thing where you can’t swipe down on a pin to exit out, now you have to reach over to the other side of your screen to exit out, it’s like a workout for your arm just to get out of a pin. 3) when I want to look at one of the sections that I use to organize within my board, it does this thing where I’ll be scrolling and then my finger exits the section. Then I have to start over from the beginning and scroll to see what I was looking for. 4) the costumer support is terrible. You would think that a company would care what there consumers have to say since they are the ones they use the app, and without them Pinterest wouldn’t exist. I feel like they don’t care, and they don’t ever explain anything to you. Old Pinterest please please come back.

“Pin stats” menu is in a distracting place.. for business accounts, the “pin stats” menu is super annoying and distracting. i do not find it very appealing that it’s constantly visible while viewing my pins. it gets really frustrating when i’m just trying to scroll through the pins i’ve published, but instead have numbers in my face. while it’s a helpful tool for business accounts to track their interactions and engagements, i don’t think it’s necessary for it to constantly be there while viewing a pin i’ve published. as an owner of a business account and frequent pinterest user, i would appreciate it if there’s a way to hide the “Pin stats” bar, or at least put it in a drop down menu so it only shows up when you actually /want/ to look at your statistics. also, i changed my review to 3 stars, as the “hide pin” button is STILL in a horrible spot— right above the “download image” button. this is such a horrible design flaw and i can’t believe it’s been overlooked by the developers for this long. i imagine it would be an easy fix, just put the hide pin button someplace else!! i’m not sure if anyone on the pinterest team even reads the reviews, but please don’t take my considerations lightly.
