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?

Don't have any high expectations that it will feedback your complain, I've send countless emails to them hoping they will notice because i desperately wanted to regain my account. It has 3000 pins and most of it are necessary since i rely on references and anatomy for my art and English vocabulary but looks like they don't care about their customer.
I've sent a bunch of form and application to file my complain to their customer service desk ever since, on feb 3 my account got suspended because of wrong age, i followed lots of steps and advice but none of it worked they always lead the same pit of hole saying just send emails and wait for their response but i haven't receive any of it for a months! I dont know how to keep my patience because of my frustration from their customer service!

If you want to conduct your business by online exposure, this is a good place for that.
But you need to be careful since they are becoming more and more strict with regulations, etc

I keep contacting Pinterest about my account and they keep giving me the run around. I was using Pinterest for my business and suddenly I stopped getting notifications. I need those notifications to see what products get pinned. I'm so not happy with this company! I'm going to switch to Instagram. How hard is it to fix my notifications?!

Greedy place
March 4, 2022

My ad was rejected and was not approved but still charged me for my ad almost $73.36. After they send me email which says my ad was rejected and after again they charges me another $ 25.31.

Pinterest is the worst place to do ad,

After many years on pinterest, all of a sudden I started getting notices about pins they removed. Most recent came this week saying they deleted one because in contained a sexual nature/porn, supposedly on my "politics and patriotism" board. I have never ever posted a thing on any of my boards with that type of content. In fact I've reported pins that did have that content and pinterest did absolutely nothing about it, the pins weren't removed nor were the users banned. I was told to just "block that user, that way I won't have to see the offensive pins". Pinterest wouldn't tell me or show me which pins they deleted, after repeated request for them to send the deleted pins to me so I would know what I supposedly posted. Needless to say I got nowhere. Get on there this morning and they had completely deleted my entire "politics and patriotism" board. I've asked them who makes the decision to delete pins... got no answer to that question either. This morning I deleted every board and ended the aggrevation of having to deal with the gestapo on their site. They are and have been a complete waste of time for several years. They're "woke" employees get offended at the least little thing if it's a different opinion than what they believe in. One never knows from one week to the next what road they will travel down when it comes to deleting pins.

Cluster$#*!
February 16, 2022

A great idea with atrocious execution. Never seen anything that should be so simple and straight-forward FUBAR'ED ($#*!ed Up Beyond All Recogintion) so badly. Want to create a board and put some pictures on it? Too bad for you! THAT'S going to require a tutorial. The morons that made this website obviously don't know the meaning of 'intuitive': the Number 1 requirement for any website, ever. Since 1999. If people need instructions on how to use your site, you $#*!ed up.

Seller of rubbish!
January 27, 2022

I purchased a silicone mold for a doll, It arrived eventually. A large slab of green floppy jelly like texture that looked like it had been hacked with a blunt knife. One ear missing. Purchase not fit for purpose. Have been given the runaround and have had to open a case with PayPal. Photos of useless mold sent. Now have had to send rubbish back and seems I have to pay for return. Will wait and see if my postage gets reimbursed or not. These awful people think you will give up, dont! Keep going. Horrible people out there waiting to take your money. The seller should pay for postage when the purchase is not as described or in my case total rubbish.
Will never happen again for sure, a lesson learned and much time wasted on some money grabbing greedy chancer.

Pinterest needs to clean house and check the companies allowed to advertise. The entire app is cluttered with scammer retailers. Just read the reviews for over 90% of clothing shown on pinterest and everyone has lost money. How are people finding these scammy retailers with websites that are here today and gone tomorrow? Look no further than the pics on pinterest linking them.

No satisfaction
December 24, 2021

Did a review of Pinterest in Dec. After attempting to get some satisfaction for a purchase. Submitted all the information I had for the vendor. Paupoo is still advertising the same item on different websites on Pinterest. I informed Pinterest & they've done nothing. The item is completely fraudulent, I even sent pictures of this "handmade dragon". No one seems to care, it's ridiculous, shameful & pitiful. I know I'll never see a refund for this dragon. This type of situation is inexcusable. I am handicapped, on a fixed income, I depend on being able to purchase many items online. How does a person find websites that aren't cheats, liars, employee exploiters, or expensive?

I always open Pinterest while looking for inspiration for my work. The application is very convenient, and the image selection algorithm is incredible. Thanks for your app!

They have made it impossible to use, especially for adding pins or inputting our text to t he pin. Or adding linkages that are necessary. Many photos require attribution, but they make that impossible as well.
For instance, i uploaded a photo from Wikimedia. I tried to create a link to the photographer's permissions page under the photo. But stupid pinterest would not publish my comment, it just disappeared. I have no idea why, or how i am supposed to show a link and give the photographer credit! His work can be shared but it must be linked.
It's nearly impossible to just make the site work correctly if you are a contributor and must manage your pins. Nothing makes sense, you have to constantly use trial and error to make things work. And then they do not work, as i have just given an example. You can't contact any person who runs pinterest either. It's impossible. There is nothing but an entirely crazy making runaround of fake links going nowhere and are of no help whatsoever.
Pinterest is so closed off from the feedback of users, who create content, that they have No idea of what the issues are for users. The insane, super stressful, utterly frustrating issues.
Pinterest doesn't work. It is nothing but a huge headache and rather impossible to add any photos, or text, so -- i will not use it more than maybe a few times a year at most. If even that.
Also if i happen on a pinterest pin on google, i usually click back out quickly as that is a whole nuther set of enraging frustrations and obstacles and anything but enjoyable.
Something has been dreadfully wrong at pinterest for quite some time, they neglect their site and ignore and offend the users to the nth degree, especially content contributors. It is a wonder that site is still up.
Hopefully those losers will be done soon, so a competent group of people can put up a site like it but infintely better for the contributors and users.

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'm sure this happens way more than people post
This is the second time your site has lost info and can't sign back in to this account. It makes no sense i post nothing and at most just save pins and talk to 1 person so I don't why your site /app has done this once again. I don't want to lose another account and at this point will not make another and start promoting the fact to stop using this app if they can just make you lose everything you have done in past years.
Then take a stand as it isn't you issue and it is my issue so deal with it.
What's the point of saving these pins just to not have them.

Please straighten this issue as this is total bull$#*! and kind of lame on you r companies behalf to not correct issue and then expect me to go back and want to use and trust site.

Please advise what correction can be done for my issue or will say goodbye to this site and app and promote the fact it is not worth using if they can just delete your existence from Pinterest and never give back access with no good reason and proof.

Also have copied note and will post on review sites for Pinterest if i don't hear back.

Sincerely not impressed with this company.

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!
