In a sad turn of events for Windows Phone users, the official Pinterest app for Windows Phone has been pulled from the Play Store. No reason has been given behind the removal of the app and the original store link now points towards a “Not found” page.
Pinterest was launched on the Windows Phone Store back in June as a beta. Sadly, it was just a web wrapper and Pinterest never bothered to update it or improve it with updates. As such, the app never had high user rating to begin with.
With this, it’s another high profile app that’s missing from the Windows Phone Store. We’ve also not seen updates for several apps like Instagram in months. Users shouldn’t be completely disheartened though, since there are a number of third party clients available in the Windows Phone Store. Still, the official app has its own status symbol, even if it just a shortcut to the mobile version of the website.
