Pinterest for Android is finally available in the Google Play store for most Android smartphones and tablets, including the Nexus 7.

Pinterest for Android runs on phones and tablets.

The Pinterest Android app is built from the ground up, and optimized to run on Android tablets and phones. This means users can enjoy a better experience than just using the Pinterest website in a browser. The app scales up nicely on the Nexus 7 instead of stretching to obscene levels like some phone apps.

Pinterest says they’ve tested and designed the new Android app to work, “well on Android phones and tablets, regardless of your device’s cost, speed or screen size.”

The Pinterest Android app is a free download in the Google Play store. Pinterest promises that it will hit the Amazon App Store later this week, allowing Kindle Fire owners to use Pinterest. No word on when it may arrive in the Nook App Store.

Pinterest is available on all major mobile platforms.

The Pinterest for Android app joins the iPhone app and a new Pinterest iPad app. The new iPhone app includes a two column layout so users can see more pins at once, and faster scrolling.

The new Pinterest iPad app shows off four columns of pins and swipe gestures to make it easier to get back to pinning and browsing. The iPad and iPhone apps remain free.
