"Step Up Your Pinterest Game"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

Super easy, efficient and improves stats Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

I have nothing bad to say or any dislikes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tailwind:

Make sure you're committed to blogging or marketing because if you're not utilizing the app you're wasting your money. It's better to consistently use it based on the price than to use it only occasionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tailwind solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has increased my followers and is starting to help increase my engagement by allowing me to post regularly without having to be glued to the website or Pinterest app. I like that it shows me which pins are doing well and which aren't and allows me to filter through the ones that cam specifically from my website. I love having the tribes as well. It helps me get my content out a little faster and adds to my views then converts them into an engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BEST tool for Pinterest Growth"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

The ability to batch my work, I can spend one day a month to schedule my whole month. It chooses the best schedule to post your pins based on their "smart schedule" analytics. Just by being consistent on the tool, you are guaranteed growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

I wish I could toggle between Tailwind accounts (kind of like toggling on Instagram between accounts) because I have multiple clients and they each have their own account. You CAN toggle between Pinterest accounts if they are all on one Tailwind account but you cannot toggle between Tailwind accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines the Pinning process"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

I love that I can pin many pins ahead of time, and organize my pins. The tribes are a great feature, and it really does help spread each other's content. The smart loop feature is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

I wish I could type in a specific date on a pin and have it move to that spot in the que. The smart loop helps me do specific types of content at more specific intervals but I would like to be able to get even more specific with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tailwind for Up and Coming Business"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

Tailwind is one of the only products I have used since creating this business with my friend that has GREAT tutorials. Anything we wanted to know about the product - there was a tutorial.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

The navigation between pages is a bit complicated, but once you get the hang of it, you are fine! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tailwind is a great way to keep your Pinterest active to create flow from your Pinterest page to your actual website. It also a great way to track analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It promises more than it does "

3.5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

The fact that it post automatically for me. Plann, preview, Unum, I have tried them all but one of them allow you to post automatically. Tailwind does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

The fact that (and tailwind falsely advertises the opposite) when you post automatically, Instagram reduces your visibility to your follower. You only have visibility to 7% of your followers and you post through tailwind it goes lower than that.

The timings they calculate for posting are always wrong - it feels like they always take the timings with the least engagament. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tailwind:

If you want to get your social media sorted out it is a great tool, but remember that Instagram will penalise a post that comes from a third party app, i.e: tailwind so your posts won't be as visible as if you post manually. You can still organise everything with tailwind and then post manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tailwind solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to organise my Instagram better but as I said before I was looking for something to post automatically without compromising my engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My favorite social media scheduling product"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

The best features are the ability to save hashtags and for it to provide you with possible hashtags that match your caption as you start typing. you can also make drafts before scheduling them and then see all the drafts IN GRID FORM to decide how you want the flow of your Instagram grid to look! It's awesome. And you can tag locations in the drafts which you can't do on other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

So far I haven't found much that I dislike. I guess the app version on your phone is not as seemingly flawless, but it still works and I can still view the grid and move the posts around to change on the grid which i think is really cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Easiest and Most Results Driven Social Media Channel App"

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

I love that I can engage with Tailwind and in a matter of minutes I've pinned to all my favorite boards and can now get back to creating content. That new content I'll post in Pinterest so that others can pin it and benefit from it. Tailwind allows me to spend my time creating content because it saves me time pinning to Pinterest. It finds me the kinds of posts that I want to pin to my boards. It allows me to connect with others through their Tribes component. That gets my content out to even more people to benefit from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

I'm not sure that I can use Tailwind to schedule videos. I think not. But double-check me on that because it may be possible. I'll keep checking as well. The other thing is I wish they offered my industry category which is spirtuality or spiritual wellness or spiritual growth. Any of these would do. It's not really Health, Wellness, and Fitness which is what I have to choose. And, it's definitely not religious institutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scheduling my Pinterest images is a breeze."

5/5

What do you like best about Tailwind?

I love being able to "queue" my pins ahead, make changes, and then schedule as many pins as I need. It's also a real plus to be able to meet new pinners and see new themes and artwork. It's been a pleasure to see my Pinterest traffic grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailwind?

It took a while to get used to how things are done. The tutorials were very helpful. It is still hard to find the posts that I would like to share...mostly because there are SO MANY. I suggest you take your time and get used to the layout and then you'll want to upgrade to take full advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
