    For whatever reason, Pinterest keeps blocking me when I’m pinning multiple pins all in one setting. It’s like they block me then i have to wait another 15 minutes to pin again, only for them to block me temporarily again. I don’t get what they’re trying to prevent here. And I’m also not apart of whatever they’re trying to prevent. I’m just here to pin. Also there’s a malfunction where some pin boards have the “more ideas” option, while some don’t. So it’s quite frustrating. Also I would like if they made the app a little more easier to use in terms of pinning stuff and not having to press multiple confusing buttons. Also the app just doesn’t run smoothly like Instagram or Facebook

  • Review of Pinterest .

    Pinterest —- As an artist , I appreciate all that you provide , it is an excellent service , . I have been painting for over 30 odd years now , I am a realistic oil painter on canvas , as the years go by , I have found Pinterest , provides that , idea , that I inspiring idea , the inspiration, to create my next piece , hence the varied albums I have with you . The female form is paramount, must of my compositions include the form ,—- I am always looking for new poses , colour , light , style — that is the style of drawing , painting , the tone of the piece . You see my albums go from the old masters to modern artists of today . I studied in Chicago 94 —97 the Dutch Masters , and realism is still my style , but I thankfully adapt my pieces with you pins , to create a difference , —- so I say to you guys , many ,many , Thanks . —- I could send you photos , pieces I have sold all over the world , in my years of painting . Realistic paintings , in the early years , now. , still realistic but with a twist , now I paint —- what I call —- Paintings within paintings . Many thanks once again , cheers Col Snare .

  • 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

  • great but 1 HUGE problem

    I have LOVED pinterest for years and have used it everyday. It is probably the app that I spend the most time on when I’m on my phone. However, I ran into the problem today. About 40 minutes before this happened, I was on pinterest and there was not a single problem. After the 40 minutes passed, I went to check on how my posts were doing. when I clicked on the app, it brought me straight to the log in or sign up page (I always stay logged in so this was really weird). I didn’t think much of it until I tried to log in. It stated that my account was deactivated. It also stated possible reasons why this may have happened. None of those reasons were something that have happened on my account. Let me remind you how much I have on this app. The thing is, when you are setting up your account, you are supposed to put in your real email (but I did not). I didn’t do this because on my previous account I did use it but it wouldn’t let me log in. so I created a new account which is the one I just had this problem on. The reason I am talking about not using my real email on this account is because pinterest stated that it had emailed me and I could contact that if I needed to. So I did not get an email on my real account. I also tried to create a new account but that did not work. I also tried filling a form out trying to get my account back but so far, I haven’t had much luck. I was completely unaware that this was able to happen.

  • 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.

  • Love the app, but it is not perfect AT ALL ...

    LOOK i love pinterest, i started using this app regularly in 2020 but dear GOD are there a lot of flaws. A main one that a lot of ppl seem to agree on is the amount of ads... look pinterest we get it y'all have to eat to but there's A LOT of ads, and they overshadow the actual pins since there's so many of em!! Another issue i've had is how i can't customize which boards i wanna see in my home screen.. it's always up to the app to decide which boards will appear in my homescreen. Sometimes it will let me actually click done and it still doesn't appear!! I don't even have the option to remove boards from the homescreen it's rlly annoying ...(idk if this is a glitch on my acc or if it's pinterest doing this). Another MASSIVE issue for me is when the home screen refreshes even though i don't swipe down?? I've lost so many great pins bcuz of this option please remove it.... make it like other social medias where the home screen doesn't refresh unless u swipe down... Also according to others in the reviews, there used to be an option to search up boards by names... whyd u remove it?? that is such a great option?? Also plz let us report people for other things that aren't spam for the love of god.... There are a lot of pretty good updates like the sections update, picking ur board cover update and more, but the flaws are really annoying...

  • Please stop refreshing so often

    Absolutely love the app, however, after a recent update the home browsing page is always refreshing. As in I’ll go check my notifications and then go back to the home feed page and before it wouldn’t refresh after that, but now it does, it also refreshes whenever I switch to another tab and back onto the Pinterest one. Even clicking onto an image on the home feed page and clicking out causes it to refresh.

    Please idk if it’s a me problem but please minimise the refreshing 😭

    I apologise is none of that made sense. It’s 2 am.

  • 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!

  • Absolutely Amazing!!

    Personally, ever since I downloaded Pinterest ( which wasn’t to long ago ) I’ve been addicted ( not literally but you know ) I keep going back! There is just so much to explore. It helps with inspiration and boredom in almost any situation. I have many hobbies like drawing, crochet, knitting, and more. And I find many inspiring stories and ideas on Pinterest. You can find things that make you laugh or maybe even remember old memories. There’s something for everyone! Find your new hobby or even interests or friends on Pinterest. Trust me you won’t regret it. I give Pinterest a five star rating for being amazing at helping curing my boredom or questions. Thank you Pinterest you are a live changer and saver. DOWNLOAD NOW!!!!
