Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 244 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people found the platform to be more annoying than enjoyable, citing issues with constant ads and irrelevant content that made it difficult to find what they were looking for. Customers also reported problems with the website's functionality, including inaccurate search results, glitches when saving content, and an overwhelming number of notifications. A significant concern was the presence of misleading advertisements, with many users encountering deceptive store closings and questionable products, which they felt the platform should address. Additionally, numerous users experienced account suspensions or content removals for unclear or seemingly arbitrary reasons, leading to the loss of years of saved work and pins. However, some people mentioned that they still found the platform helpful for specific purposes like finding home designs, recipes, or general inspiration, appreciating its visual content. A few other people also felt that the ad volume was not intense for them, and they enjoyed browsing and saving ideas.

Pinterest blocked my domain as spam

Pinterest blocked my domain as spam, even though my website does not violate any rules. I tried to resolve the issue, but support was not helpful and the domain is still blocked. Very disappointing experience and poor support.

Pinterest used to be great Not anymore

Pinterest used to be great Not anymore. Constant Ads causing delays in opening content or disrupting viewing/reading so much so it makes it impossible to actually open up and read/look at anything. I find my self getting so frustrated I close out and sometime even trying to close out is difficult due to the ads! Don’t waste your time cause that’s all you’ll be doing. Pinterest really does Suck! Actually this experience has been for quite some time! Today I decided to never go back

Pinterest must be a hardcore BIGBANG fan — they’re always going ban ban ban. The review system is trash.

Used to be great. Now it's unbearable.

I can barely use Pinterest for 1 minute before being so frustrated by ads that I close the app. The amount of ads is absolutely unbearable. The ones that move are especially infuriating. Pinterest used to be a great app, and it has continually gone downhill with the insane amount of ads and AI. My entire feed is filled with ads and there is barely any user-generated content. PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR USERS!

Pinterest used to be my go-to place for design inspiration, but lately, the feed is flooded with irrelevant sponsored posts and weird AI images. It is getting harder to find genuine creative ideas among all this clutter.

It’s all adds. Totally boring. You can hide the adds but scroll down two columns and there’s all the same adds you just hid. Turned into a garbage site

Bro it’s trash

Bro it’s trash. And they make sure to purposely give you non related stuff to things you look up so you spend more time on the app. Also I have to tap multiple times on the search bar… yet when there is an AD all the sudden it’s EXTREMELY touch sensitive. Also it wont let me upload anything because the HORRIBLE ai moderation system and the warning it gave wasnt even related to uploading pins. They also haven’t fixed ANY bugs for years. They’re so money greedy and desperate it pmo. Whoever is giving this a 5 star is a NPC.

It's all ai now

It's all ai now. The ai has gotten out of control with this website. Nothing is real any more or remotely realistic. Even stuff you make your self and post online they use some ai filter and say it's "ai made when it's not."

You did not use to have to be forced signed in to be able to view the website. This has changed. I find this frustrating and have gone to other websites for photos now.

Pintrest is virtually unusable without an adblocker. The only way this site is remotely useable is with an adblocker other wise about 30% of the page is populated with ads. I've had to report some questionable ones as well over the years.

Many artists also use pintrest photos or ai photos for references and once you see this you can't unsee it. I only know this because our art teacher said "just use pintrest" Now when I look on etsy I see similar reference photos to many images. While it isn't illegal it also isn't ethical but you can do this.

Pintrest has really tanked over the years and it use to be a good go to source for ideas.

I don't understand the 1 stars here and why pinterest has such a low rating, but I guess people just be typing stuff huh. I like pinterest and always have, I know it's not the most supportive site but you do get what you want so... I would say it's great. I take outfit ideas mostly from here too. but 4 star because they don't really care about their customers. I love you thou Pinterest!

Fake and scam

It is already indicative that, when writing this review, I was asked: "what went wrong this time?". THIS TIME! Things go wrong with Pinterest all the time! Please, never, never respond to any advertisement you receive through Pinterest; many of the companies advertised there are scammers! Also one I fell for: Shonobo, with an apparently high quality coin of The Lord of the Rings 25th anniversary of the movie. Described as "high relief, hand painted", and in reality a metal coin with a sticker on the front and one on the back, nothing like relief, and certainly not hand painted. I should have known better; most info on Pinterest is fake, designed by AI. Infuriating!

Horrible Moderation

This platform feels less intense and is my go-to social media. The ad volume for me is NOT intense so I suppose that regard differs between users. However, the moderation team SUCKS. It took WAY too long for a pin showing one how to make smth that would hurt onesself to get taken down, but they're quick to ban a harmless, modest fashion post for "harassment," yet keeping up, reinstating, or just plain ignoring the most hateful, racist comments in the history of mankind. Mods need to lock in because it sucks. Or stop relying on AI so much.

Violation of consumer rights and requesting confidential information.

I am requesting an immediate escalation of my issue to a human supervisor/Data Protection Officer. Your support team is forcing me to provide my Passport/Government ID after you unilaterally disabled the Facebook login, which I used for years. This is a severe violation of privacy and data minimization. I have already drafted a formal complaint to the relevant Data Protection Authorities (GDPR/BBB) regarding this coercive data collection practice. My account access was not based on Passport verification when I created it via Facebook, and this new requirement is unlawful. I do not consent to this. Restore my account now."

Full of scam companies and they do nothing to police this - I have reported several to them. Loads of AI. Not what it used to be when I joined 13 years ago.
Very untrustworthy now. Recipes full of spam - not worth using

Pinterest used to be a safe space for inspiration but they have absolutely ruined their app this year. It has become a platform for advertisement more than anything else and the user's experience has been turned into a confrontation with overstimulating and often unsensitive Ads. It's a shame!

Sexualised ads you can't hide

Now Pinterest have done some sort of deal with Google ads. You get offensive sexualised images and videos for apps in the play store. You cannot use the normal hide function that you would normally use for unpleasant images on Pinterest. It has been switched off. Nor can you report them direct to Pinterest as the report function links direct to the Google play store. Also videos autoplay even if you have switched off that Pinterest function. A new low for Pinterest and really offensive.
