Having Kinky hair is not easy, but with this website I learn how to style my kinky hair for any occasion to stand out and look fashionable as always. What I realize is that letting your kinky hair go free without styling is a new fashion now but the combing it out at the end of the day is a problem, I always have that problem until I found this website that gave me tips on letting my hair go free and not having any problems after. Not only does it give advice and styling tips on kinky hair but also on every other kind of hair, makeup, fashion, accessories, you name it they have tips on it. Great website glad I found it it changed my life.

REcent Changes
September 1, 2017

Pinterest has been making changes. Why? Who knows. The most frustrating change for me is not being able to "heart" pins. I don't necessarily want to save every pin I like. But I did like to option of being able to "like" pins. You can't do that now. I'm probably going to stop using them.

Can be used for anything
November 2, 2018

Pinterest is great for saving inspiration for any kind of topics - fashion, design, digital or traditional art, tattoo art. You can use the extension to save sites anywhere from the internet or simply browse the site itself and let it tailor the feed to your needs.

Fascists
June 13, 2019

I deleted my account and have encouraged everyone I know to do so as well. There is nothing more fascist than censoring what people say and hindering someone's right to free speech. This is a free country and Pinterest should be stripped of their right to do business in the United States, because their business practices trample on the civil rights of free thinking Americans.

When I first discovered Pinterest I quite liked it. It allowed me to follow specific people and boards so could target my feeds to things that are of interest to me. Changes made last year however have turned it into a spam machine. It is crap. I can no longer target interests in the same way and now I consistently get images fed to me that are of no interest what so ever. Even when I specify that I want such topics hidden from my feed - or more extreme I notify that the feed is spam, the crap just keeps on coming. It seems that Pinterest now wants to control what you see in order to turn the site into a more commercial entity in order to extract fees from those pushing some material. It is increasingly as I say a spam machine and crap.

Never buy anything you find on Pinterest
April 2, 2022

I purchased 3 items from Pinterest. 2 never arrived and the other was quite different than advertised. I contacted all 3 sellers and never heard back from them. 2 of the 3 items even had the same tracking number but ordered from different sites at different time. That sight is a complete scam and I advise everyone to stay miles away from it.

Love this site.
September 21, 2015

Joined about 10 months ago, I am a bit of a amateur photographer so this site is ideal for me, I have met lots of similar people and we have since shared contact details and photos of our work with each other. Lots of fake members but also lots of interesting members.its a good pass time searching for different pins

I try to get on Pinterest at least once a day. I enjoy all the great ideas and people who share the same interests as me. Having said that, there are still a few bugs that bother me. There are times when I can't get into the program and it shuts down on me altogether. Overall though, I like this app, and it's free so what's to complain about?

You're losing people with all of your changes. I've overheard so many people talking about how they used to literally spend hrs on it & now no longer even use it. The "picked for you", the pins that are actually ads, now we can no longer even see the pins due to the white circles. Please review & remove at least some of your changes before you lose all of your faithful followers.

I didn't and still don't know what I'm doing to set my site up with them, I've tried to reach out to them with a detailed message of the issue I was having. All they did was deactivate my account account because of spam!?!?#?! Excuse me, they don't call me to answer my questions to follow up and help me, they just send an email with spam, I have never sent emails to anyone, I haven't even figured out how to use the darn site! After reading the reviews from other people, I should of ran as fast as I could and never signed up! Will never happen again in life! I will also tell EVERYONE I know, and I know a lot of people! Just remember Pinterest what goes up will come down and for all of those you've wronged (sounds like many) there are always consequences.

Some of my order is missing ( the order was in 2 parts, no problem)
The order took to long to get to me. It is a shame that they do not have a customer after sales service that works
Goods look good on line and i love the stills but not so good when you get them at home

I do not want a Pinterest account. Every time I visit a link to this site through search results it illegally creates an account for me. I have contacted support repeatedly about this. They close my account and it automatically reopens on an accidental click. I have reported you to the FTC. Stop creating accounts for people who have no interest in your tracking and your deceptive site!

After having Pinterest for a week and saving recipes i liked, they suddenly blocked my account for activity that was against their "spam policy."
They have no customer service or phone number to call to speak with a person.
Bad app, looks like they are tracking what recipes you save to suddenly block you!
They are plenty other user friendly apps out there to use who wont block you and have a customer service.

Ads for days
July 26, 2021

Pinterest is Trash. There are more targeted ads than images. The amount of sexually objectified women I see when browsing is disgusting, disempowering and disrespectful to women. Might as well be a soft core porn site. Don't recommend.

I noticed I received an email saying my account was suspended?! For what? Just read a review where someone else was suspended without a reason too! This is ridiculous! Fine ok you are losing people by your messed up rules that nobody knows about! Nothing but spams on there anyway!

Please do not use Pinterest. They are selling images stolen from my Copyrighted site on theirs. When I complained, they told me to complete a long DMCA complaint for each and every of the images they have ripped off my site. I am not going to submit one DMCA, let alone hundreds. Pinterest have now gone quiet, like the thieves they are. Pinterest; remove my Copyrighted images from your w****e web site and pay me compensation.

Deactivating Accounts Without Any Valid Reason
November 30, 2022

I have (or rather had) so many boards I use for work, which I can't access now. My account was deactivated for unknown reason. I never post anything on Pinterest, so can't see how I violated their rules. Wrote soOooo many times to them, probably over 100 messages... guess what...no response, non at all. Why they even bother adding pop up message "Contact us if you have questions or would like to reactivate your account" if they do not plan to respond. Really hope someone will contact me and this review could be change to more satisfactory.

My Boards are Moved
August 4, 2017

I have painstakenly, with much time consuming effort, moved my boards. Over 100... to create a visually pleasing site in general. Two days ago, the boards were scrambled and I have tried to re organize them as before only to find they become out of order all over again. Very frustrating! Anyone else having this problem?

I use it a lot
October 28, 2018

I love using pinterest for my school projects and my works, especially as a designer student like I am. Well but sometimes it made me confusing, when I get used to pressing the button pin it then chooses the board, now they reverse it, which I find pretty annoying to me. I prefer the old way.

Pinterest makes it easy to swap pins and ideas with educators across the globe and to help keep lessons fresh and exciting. To do this, as well as connecting with existing contacts, I can search for educational content and boards, and follow those educators that inspire me and will be a good asset to my classroom.
