It provides a very fun way to share your interest with other people and offers many other useful features. For instance, you can pin all the latest electronic gadgets that you have come across while browsing the web and share your interest with all your followers out there who can browse your pinboards and take inspiration from it. What is more interesting in this social media service is that people who follow you can repin, like or comment on the item pinned by you and also share them on Facebook or Twitter.

There is already a dedicated app to access this service on iPhone but an official Pinterest App for Android is still awaited. Lot of Android users are seen to be waiting for this app with great agog and there is an ever increasing demand in the Android Community for a dedicated app to access the service. So far, Pinterest has kept mum about any such app on the pipeline and even if they are working on it, nothing is announced as of now. However, they have provided a HTML5 website with invite-only access as an alternative to use the service from all kind of devices and it works great when used in the web browser.


How does Pinterest work and how to proceed?

It is very straight-forward and easy to use and you may get addicted as you keep using the service. It follows a simple pin-and-share method and help you build a follower list just like other popular social media platform like Twitter.

So its simple, interactive and a fun experience and all that you have to keep doing is Pin & Repin the contents that really interests you.

Is there a Free Pinterest App on Android Market

Well yes, this app was available on the android market for free but it soon disappeared and was nowhere to be found. It was taken down after receiving complaints from the early users of this app who found it to be a fake one and not an official app from Pinterest. People using it experienced unusual popup and unsolicited ads while accessing it and the app was barely functional which crashed and infected the devices it was used on.


With lot of curious mind who have been waiting for this app for long, the single fact that it was bearing 'Official' tag was enough for the people to get fooled and many users did try it without actually doing a research beforehand. It not only malfunctioned after installing, but also spammed the notification bar with lot of adverts and free offers. It posed a significant threat to the user as giving away login credential to such third-party app full of spam ads can really do a lot of harm before you can realize what is going on. It was removed from the Android market recently and people did wonder 'What happened to the pinterest app for android' as they kept raising this query in various forums and websites. Its gone for now and for good but you can always use the other alternatives as mentioned below until an official app is released by the developer team.

Making use of Alternate Pinterest Android App

However, third-party apps exist and they can help you serve the purpose that you are looking for to use the service. There are many of them out of which some are free while others are paid version costing you a few cents in return. Some of these unofficial apps can be mentioned as Pinterest For All, Photo To Pinterest and Pinscape to mention a few. So if you can't wait for the official release of Pinterest Android App, then you may consider using the above alternatives which might help you access the service.

We hope the android version of this social platform will be released soon so that users can avail their service through a dedicated app. It has been quite interesting to use Pinterest as it not only allows one to share their tastes but also helps to discover great ideas from other people thereby connecting each other with a shared interest.
