What Users Love
I love how I can find ideas for everything like fashion, business, and creativity.
It is the best app to give u different ideas.
This apps is so useful when i editing or make a video.
Pain Points
More than half the images are actually ads.
Now it's so overrun by ads in the app that it's practically unusable.
The FY/home page refreshes the first time you select or save a pin.
It downloads videos as pictures that's disgusting.
