12 Pinterest Apps for Mobile
If you want to post to Pinterest from your smartphone or tablet, you first need to download an app to your mobile device.
iPhone and iPad – The granddaddy Pinterest mobile app of them all is the Pinterest iPhone app. There used to be a separate iPad app, but now it has been combined into a single iOS app that can also be used on the iPhone, iPad and the iPod Touch.
Android — If you have a device on an Android platform, you will need to download an Android app in order for Pinterest to work. Although you will not have the same functionality with the Pinterest Android app as you do with the iOS app, each allows you to pin your pictures, which is the important part.
Pinterest Pin It Button makes pinning easier and greatly improves the functionality of iPhone and Android apps. Just go to the goodies page and drag it to your toolbar. (There are several apps for Pinterest all with this same or a similar name and different functionality, so follow the link to get this one.)
Just today Pinterest announced that it had made its Pin It button available in a number of website-specific mobile apps. Those apps include: Behance, Brit+Co, Etsy, Fotopedia, Jetsetter, Modcloth, Snapguide, TED, The North Face, and Zulily. You have to have switched to the “new” Pinterest look with it’s larger pins, to be able to see these pins.
Windows phones — There’s no official Pinterest app for Windows phones, but one third-party Pinterest app, Scrapbook for Pinterest, is available.
