Pinterest on the Kindle Fire: App displays an error message from "+" searches

Date: 2/23/13

Pinterest Kindle Fire App (version 1.3.3)

Description:

There’s a minor problem with the Pinterest app on the Kindle Fire.

If you run a search for the “+” character, the user is presented with an ambiguous error message.

An error message titled “Sorry” appears, along with the text, “Something went wrong on our end.”

Steps to reproduce:

1.     Download the Pinterest app on a Kindle Fire

2.     Log into your Pinterest account (it’s not just for girls, really)

3.     Run a search for the “+” character

Result:  The PInterest Kindle Fire app displays an error message if the user searches for the “+” character

Expected:  No error message from running searches for the “+” character on the Kindle Fire 

Note:  This also happens over at their website.

Searches for the "+" character bring up this error message.
