Getting setup was easy since I used a Shopify integration, and the rest (ads, optimizing content) was relatively intuitive

Pinterest's search algorithm can sometimes prioritize popular content over new or niche pins, making it challenging for less established users to gain visibility. Additionally, the platform's focus on visual content means it may be less useful for content that isn't image-centric. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pinterest?

I've got both types of profiles through Pinterest! Which are both (professional), as well as personal!! I have been obsessed with this app since I was in high school, AND STILL TO THIS DAY!! I use it actively, on a weekly basis, and it's really helpful for me throughout every aspect of my life. Personally, and professionally! SO EASY TO USE, and gain experience or even knowledgeable insights, no matter what the topic might pertain! This app is amazing too as far as creativity goes, there are literally THOUSANDS, probably even beyond MILLIONS of ENDLESS artists, ideas, tips, tricks, etc. it's a MUST 100% Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pinterest?

Pinterest pulls inspiration from all over the internet and allows you to categorize it to fit your interests. As an artist I gather reference images for vairous projects on a weekly basis. This site allows me to easily set up a folder for a specific project and fill it with images for that project. It will also suggest images based on the items I have selected which is very helpful.

I have also used this for crafting ideas, gathering recipes for baking, ice cream, and dinners, gift lists, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinterest?

The least helpful part about Pinterest is the advertising. I know ads are necessary but they can be intrusive at times.

Another thing that bothers me is how the Pinterest homepage gathers images. Instead of sticking with my interests it will often skew to the project I am currently gathering reference for... so if I'm doing a graphic novel about teens at the beach I am suddenly overwhelmed with images selling teen clothing or showing scantilly clad women. I enjoy robots and dragons on the regular so I would love a way to set the homepage algorythm and not have it skewed by current searches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pinterest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Again, Pinterest allows me to easily gather reference for later use. It also suggests similar imagery which can be both good and bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pinterest?

The keyword search is very powerful as you just need one keyword to get you the perfect image or right informative trends in the market.

It is easy to use and has download, share and comment feature as well that makes it more helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinterest?

Just the video download feature is not available , I think we should have that as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pinterest solving and how is that benefiting you?

The social media trend keeps changing and helps match up or be ahead regarding trends. The benefit here is that the download feature, like and comment feature is all we need when it comes to social networking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pinterest?

No other application is so rich in content and full of so many invaluable contents that is found in this application, a far better and engaging platform than the already available social networking sites. Since the day I have been using this app there is no looking elsewhere as everything is available here. From contents to tricks to illustrations, vector images, videos, tricks, info graphics....the list is endless. Just WOW!! I use it everyday and it is easily accessible. It is easy to download variety of photos available here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinterest?

Only thing I dislike is not about the app but about the way it has not been advertised or brought into notice to the people. It must be made available to more and more people. Downloading videos must also be an integral feature of this app which is currently unavailable although the option of sharing is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pinterest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Be it my graphic Designs ideas, ranging from cliparts to high quality videos samples to literary contents specifically technical ones to ideas for anything and everything creative, Pinterest is for everything. Illustrations, vector images, infographs, graphics for all topics - from technical to general, from literary to historical I have been using all these in my graphic creations and designs of posters, leaflets, brochures, wallpapers everything.

What do you like best about Pinterest?

What I like best about Pinterest is that it brings a lot of people to my website. It's super easy to use and connect with other users. I can put my content out there without any trouble. The schedule pin feature is a big help because it makes my work easier. Also, it has really good tools to see how my account is doing and what's popular on Pinterest. This is super helpful for someone like me who runs an online store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinterest?

What I don't like about Pinterest is that the iPad app can be buggy and sometimes gives me problems when I try to post. I talked to their support team a lot, but they never fixed it for me. Also, earlier this year, there was a glitch on their end that kept showing that I had problems with my tags when it wasn't true, and almost made me lose my verified merchant status. This also hurt the reach of my posts on the platform for a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pinterest solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main thing Pinterest does for me is drive traffic to my website. I can show off my products in a fun, creative way and I can post as much as I want. Because Pinterest works like a visual search engine, using SEO on my posts really helps. It feels like the platform is working in my favor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pinterest?

I love how integrative and customizable the website has gotten. They have implemented tools to help with an accurate search. I enjoy how it provides custom boads according to your searches. It is an easy-to-use website and app. I use this app almost every week because it is so fun to pin and share boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinterest?

The downsides would be, that their is so much on Pinterest that you can never get bored on the app. It is highly addictive, but in a good way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pinterest solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are definitely solving their search engine results to be more customizable, which has helped them even more in the following years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
