The Pinterest app allows you to post pictures about any topic.

Create a board to save posts that you want to look at later and to post your own pictures and topics. You can ask other members questions and make comments about the pins that are posted. There is an option to decorate your board with stickers and other details. Pins that can be posted include videos, songs, and phrases that you create or find online. The app is a way to share information in a simple format so that others can get ideas for things that they can do with projects, holidays and other activities.

Pinterest is a social media channel used to share images between users.

Make Connections with Photos

Pinterest allows you to sign up with your email, Facebook or Google+ accounts.

As soon as you log in to Pinterest, you find yourself looking at a beautifully designed interface. It uses card layout to show your images. These images are called Pins.

Pinterest also makes it easy to find your connections. It will import your email list, Facebook, and Google+ contacts and add them as friends. This means you don't have to start from scratch. You can always opt-out from this option.

Get Organized with Your Ideas

Pinterest works like a digital clipboard. You can pin artwork, recipes, news articles, and images that capture your imagination. It allows you to create your own custom boards. So you can organize your work just the way you like it. You can also make private boards.

Discovering New Things

You can search the Pinterest universe, discover other boards and follow them. If you want only a single image, you can repin that image to your own board. Like any social media, it promotes user interaction. You can like, comment, and follow other users who peak your interest.

Catalog of Ideas

Pinterest considers itself an idea catalog. Also, sharing images gives you an easy way to scan a large number of ideas in a short amount of time. Other social media streams generally have a lot of text that you need to read. Pinterest's concentration on photos allows you find your interests in a few seconds.

Unlike other social media, Pinterest doesn't support taking photos in the app itself. You have to either upload the images from your library or pin it from other web sources.

Regular New Releases

Pinterest is trying to keep ahead of the market. So the app changes frequently which is generally a good thing. However, not all updates are always pleasing. But if you like having your ideas in a centralized location to share with other users, Pinterest is definitely a great app to have on your phone.

Pros

Like a digital bulletin board, Pinterest allows users to save and share images they find interesting. Users create boards and name them, usually in reference to what images they plan to pin there. Common boards include such categories as clothing, arts and crafts, animals and inspirational quotes. Pinterest users can then digitally attach an image they come across to one of their boards. Along with simply browsing the site, users who logged in via Facebook or other social sites can find new images by looking through their friends’ pins and boards. Pinterest is a truly unique app that is especially great for the visually inclined.
