Why!
December 3, 2017

Hi, it's not fun anymore, too many adds now, I can't see my follower like I did in the beginning they use to be on the main page now I have to go to my own boards now to go to there boards. Also I can't move my own boards anymore, who are these changes benefiting not the customers because I see all the complaints, I want to move my own boards and I should be able to. The help center is not a help center at all. And when they delate a pin they don't always show it which one it was which I think is rude. Well good luck Pinners.

Ads
November 27, 2017

Pinterest was such an amazing site, now the ads placed in the middle of your image search are so annoying and distracting and so obvious.
It has completely ruined it.
Looking for the newest best image search... hate Pinterest now. Please anyone... suggest an alternative.

Too much nudity
November 8, 2017

Disappointed Pinterest doesn't take better care of monitoring their site for nudity. I will no longer use it and will not allow my younger nieces and nephews to view what used to be a decent website..

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.

Annoying
October 19, 2017

Every time I do a product search, Pinterest shows up and wants me to sign in. If you don't want to shares without signing in, don't show up in the search engines!

Help
October 15, 2017

Help! I ordered something from Pinterest and never got a confirmation code, no information whatsoever.
But my card was charged. Doesnt show up on my history and there is virtually no way to speak with someone in customer service. Is this common? Not a review I know but a plea for help.

Not fun anymore

I used to scroll thru Pinterest to see what was attracting my friends and followers, but now I avoid it. You have totally ruined it for so many people.

Do I really want to see ads for ranch dressing 5 times in the time span of 2 minutes? No thanks. They completely filled my feed with annoying repeated ads - so much so that I get maybe 3 authentic pins from people I actually follow hidden between like 15 promoted pins. No thanks Ralphs I don't want to see your disgusting recipes even if you paid a lot of money to have me see it. Gross. 2017 Pinterest sucks.

Comparison
October 12, 2017

It was a site full of really interesting content from all over the world.
Now its a kind of "ads!" "buy!" and so on. Sadly this is the tendency that is widely spread now. The adblock makes it look better, definitely.

Pinterest was a very useful site but the problem is once you put a image up. You can not get it removed. I have sent over 3 emails to Pinterest asking them to remove a image that is copy righted to me and is affecting a models life. They dont care the service is disgraceful. No help. One email responding saying fill out a form that doest work. You can not submit the form when filled out. People be aware of what you put on Pinterest it will not come down. You delete it and it still shows up. Google are very helpful but they can not remove until Pinterest. A complete nightmare of a site. No support when you need it,

Looking at Pinterest used to be a nice relaxing way to spend a few extra moments during the day. Adding up those moments have turned into hours of browsing through the Pinterest magazine of wonderful ideas. It was fun to see what others were thinking about my pins and what they were pinning. Now, it seems it is all about money! Ads! Unpleasant ads! Nails and skin care. The kind of ads that were found in the back pages of magazines years ago. You can't even hide them anymore. The site is an unorganized mess and does not make me want to spend my few extra moments to even look at it anymore. It is visually unappealing. It seems that even the colors are off. For many of us this was a hobby and a place to collect and store our wishes and things of interest. Now it is like going to a hoarders mess and trying to pick out and save something of value. Please bring back the creative people that used to make Pinterest a fun place to browse.

PINTEREST SUCKS... PERIOD
September 13, 2017

Why does Pinterest suck so badly? A home feed littered with irrelevant ads and related pins that have nothing to do with my interests. I'm a man who like welding, jeeps, and off roading. Yet my home feed is littered with dresses, glitter finger nails, floor mats and closet organizers for the women with more shoes than the creator of the universe. HEY PINTEREST ADVERTISERS, I WILL NEVER CLICK ON ANY OF YOUR PINTEREST ADS. Hey Pinterest staff, fix your recommendation engines... they suck!

What really bothers me is that I rarely see what other people I actually follow are pinning. I follow them for a reason. I don't like that if I search for something specific, the next time I'm on that's all that comes up. I already got what I was looking for. The nice thing about seeing who I follow is that it gave more variety of pins. No more suggestions, I don't like them.

It's terrible
September 7, 2017

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Pinterest several times and nothing is working right. My boards are all messed up that used to be alphabetized. I can't reorganize them because I can't find any any way to do it. Google hasn't helped either.
I even downloaded from Pinterest.com and that didn't do any good either. I am truly fed up with it.

Pinterest, WHYYY?
September 5, 2017

Pinterest, you seriously need to change the way you have your little "rearrange boards" feature set up on desktop. Everytime I go to change my boards around, it's like I play a little Nancy Drew puzzle, where the board I just moved SWAPS with another one. Are 3 year olds coding this website?
