★★★★★ "Ads ads ads. Unfortunately, I cannot write the word ads as many times as you added it to your app. This app used to be fantastic for so long, but now I can't even browse or search for the pins I want. Ads in the search results, ads in the feed-it’s an eyesore. It’s impossible to keep using it." - Mouse’s route

Bad
It won’t even let me sign in
Ads ads ads. Unfortunately, I cannot write the word ads as many times as you added it to your app
This app used to be fantastic for so long, but now I can't even browse or search for the pins I want. Ads in the search results, ads in the feed-it’s an eyesore. It’s impossible to keep using it.
Ad city
90% of the app is just ads it’s just a shopping app at this point
Where are the real pins????
Just ads ads ads ads and endless products links. This app is unusable now.
Ads and AI slop
Used to be my favorite app, now it’s utter garbage.
Can’t even get in
When I tried to get in using my birthday and stuff it said I couldn’t get in like it wouldn’t even work I used my exact birthday and it didn’t even work like it’s horrible
Problems
I tried to sign in but It will not let me and I put my birthday and the year I was born and it won’t let me sign in please fix this
All ads
4 pins in a row on the feed were all ads for Amazon or Temu
Full of ADS
Full of nonstop ads now, this app is horrible. I started using it over a decade ago and used to love it. It’s useless now.
Less user friendly
Since the newest update it won’t allow me to pin to new boards. They don’t show up as options when I’m trying to save posts and they don’t show up on my home as a board. Every time I try to make a new board with the same name though it’ll tell me that board already exists. Super frustrating
AI SLOP
Nothing but AI slop now. Do better. Create a separate app for that filth. Real creators don’t want to see that. Such an insult to all the talented artists that exist.
AI NEEDS TO STOP
There is literally no point for Pinterest to have a AI chat I HATE IT IM SO TIRED OF THIS
Don’t work
So I downloaded the app and I tried to put my date of birth. I am 25 years old and it is not working. It’s saying I’m not eligible. Please fix that.
We need more Jesus
Pinterest talks a lot about being gay but it doesn’t really talk about Jesus I think that it needs more talk about Jesus
I just want to look at my Board
I don’t like how many suggested posts are being shown under Pinterest Boards I have created. There is already the more ideas tabs so I don’t want to see so many suggested posts under the board that i have created. This is an annoying feature and it would be nice if when we clicked to open a board we made we only see what we added to that board. Because if I can’t see the boards I’m making on Pinterest, then what’s the point of this app? There is also way too much AI and advertisements. some of the ads are getting weird / inappropriate.
Ads
Ads are excessive, there are more ads than pins. It pushes me off of the app.
To many ads
I’m ready to delete this app.. WAY to many ad pop ups.. I send half the time trying to close out the ads so I can get to the recipe.. or to whatever I’m trying to look up!!
It’s EXTREMELY frustrating!!
It’s EXTREMELY frustrating!!
Used to be my go to app
I’m not enjoying the pop up adds after clicking on a recipe and it’s hard to get through it. Downloaders beware . I’m seriously thinking about deleting the app altogether..
My account got deactivated without warning due to the faulty AI moderation.
I used to love pinterest before AI started moderating EVERYTHING. Every week i would get a new violation for a pin I didn’t even make! Went on pinterest today, and my account of two years has been deactivated without them emailing me that they would deactivate it. The AI moderation is wrong 90% of the time when it comes to violations. The community on pinterest is great, but the company is full of money hungry AI lovers.
Used to love this app way more
Pinterest will always be the place I find inspiration, but now it’s unbearable to do that when every result under my searches are sponsored ads. I can’t even click on the image to look at it closer, it just immediately takes me off the site. So sad to see what it’s turning into.
Age
It wouldn’t work when I put my birthday but I use my mom’s it it works but fix
Pinterest should change its name to "ADS!"
The amount of contempt pinterest shows towards the users of its app is mind-boggling impressive. Multiple videos all playing an ad for multiple items playing on one screen plus the static ads, means maybe one or two posts are from other users. Pinterest is nowhere near what it once was. It's now just trash.
Low key sucks now
The constant taking down pictures, the ads, the ai, the change to the search bar. It all sucks.
.
new update is ugly and unusable
