It is the best place to share something valuable. The interaction among people is also perfect. I can all the news and creative things with this platform.

I tried to call several times, the phone connection was horrible, looks like I was calling MARS... and then when a rep answer, after they speak for 2 minutes, I understood 2 words... They should give people a option for CLEAR SPEAKING PERSON WITH YOUR LANGUAGE! The person on the phone was speaking Indian/English = A BIG MESS!

I PURCHASED A WATER JET FROM MODERN MINT FOR $49. IT STATES IT ATTACHES EASILY TO ANY GARDEN HOSE. THIS IS NOT TRUE. THIS COMPANY IS LOCATED IN CANADA MAKING SHIPPING BACK A RETURN MORE EXPENSIVE THEN THE ITEM. IF YOU COMPLAIN TO YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND DO A CHARGE BACK THEN THEY WILL ADD $35 TO YOUR CREDIT CARD CHARGE. THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM!

Great website easy to use and very friendly love being able to look up memes and wallpapers on it and saving them to your phone is super easy. I have no complaints with Pinterest.

Keeps getting worse
October 27, 2017

It seems with each iteration of changes, they keep getting worse.

The old arrow to top of page was very handy.

I understand truncation of our text to a point, but they went way overboard. Most real estate listings I save, you can no longer see the price without clicking each one.

They seem to want to control the price in text, but it's very hit and miss. Sometimes I can put a price and sometimes not. I don't care if the price has changed. Seeing the price I entered at least gives me an idea without clicking.

The newest sections is a great idea, but it is flawed. First of all, you have to move each pin individually to a section causing user tons of work. Also would be nice to be able to move a whole board as a section within another board.

With newest version, when you click Pins, they no longer display the board it is associated with. I used that to verify I pinned to the right board. Also is helpful if I can't remember where I put a most recent pin. Now, I have to click the pin to see where it is.

It just continues to get less and less user friendly.

I don't mind some ads. Everyone has to make a living. As long as it doesn't get to overboard.

I have sent four messages on the Pinterest Help Line since 8/4/17 to seek answers to what happened that scrambled all my boards (on both of my accounts) which I have spent great time alphabetizing. I have received two cryptic automated HELP responses back which did not address the problem. I am unable to correct "the scramble" as when I pin new pins to boards, those boards pop up first on my site and once again alphabetized boards cannot happen. Who made these changes - WHY? WHY? WHY? Please stop this insanity - let us have PERSONALIZING control over our accounts - I AGREE 100% WITH 'IRENE R.' - "Once again it seems Pinterest wants the website to be more like the mobile app, which is just ridiculous." Please correct this mess.

Hi Everyone... I was curious if i am the only one who's account suddenly have gotten suspended and then deleted... I hadn't been on my Pinterest account as often as i used to.The day before my posting here i tried to login to my account. Then all of a sudden i get an email saying that my account is suspended... I had my Pinterest account for quite a few years. This is the attachment i received in an email: Margo (Pinterest Support)

Aug 29,3:00 AM PDT
Hi there,

We've suspended your account because we noticed spammy activity that goes against our Acceptable Use Policy.

We consider Spam any content that's fraudulent or deceptive. Saving large amounts of unwanted or repetitive Pins, posting unsolicited commercial messages in comments/descriptions, or trying to artificially boost views/Pins/comments or other metrics isn't allowed. Unfortunately, we won't be reactivating your account.

Thanks,

Margo
This is all nothing but lies and then when i was trying to reply back to another representative he agreed with her... I like everyone have saved info that pertains to their interests and hobbies. I hope their dumb actions will make people to leave in droves and the site gets shut down... If i knew that i would be dealing with this i would have never started an account.

Pinterest removed the feature where you can see more pins related to the specific one you clicked on. Now, the just show ads and business products completely unrelated to what I had clicked

Great site
December 19, 2019

I really like Pinterest mostly for all the great information you can gather on there. It is a great place to store your interests and like to go back to when you want to see them for any reason.

Pinterest site shows ads from UltimeDeals and Hofeet London. Just read their reviews on Trust Pilot. I don't think you will order from them. I did and lost money but learned a good lesson.

Junk
April 15, 2022

Pinterest used to be a great site to go for original ideas. Like decorating ideas. It's 99% advertising anymore. Just a shopping catalog. Never use it anymore, it's full of junk

I keep receiving emails from these people which I have never requested and do not want. I have tried to unsubscribe on several occasions and surprise surprise their unsubscribe button doesn't unsubscribe. I would very much like them to refrain from sending them. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THEIR PRODUCTS.

I had 10,000 followers, had 200,000 posts, been on Pinterest since 2008. I got blocked for a complaint of posting nudity, when I first started. The picture I actually posted was of Michaelangelo. I did not consider that nudity, since it was a famous statue and you could just walk through and look at it. This I explained, and they reactivated my account. BTW, this was a post someone else posted, I reposted. Friday, I got a msg from Pinterest saying my account had been suspended for SPAM. I stated my case that I had never posted spam that I knew of. Could they tell me what I posted? They sent me back a msg, telling me after review they were not going to reactivate my account because most of my posts were spam. This is not true. I even complained years ago about all the posts that lead to something to buy, or lead you to nonexistent websites. They told me to just quit following those individuals? I only reposted, posts that I liked. If some got through I guess, I did not know that they were spam. Anyway, I lost everything, all my followers, all my posts 8 to 10 years of posts. No recourse, blocked for good, can't open a new account. I am between devastated and angry. They wont even work with you, talk to you, or see if someone maybe hacked your account. Anyone else run into this issue?

Great idea
December 28, 2015

I normally keep folders of cool images anyway, but now I have an organized way to save them and a lot of different ways to save them, wherever I am.

I think they nailed it.
