Controversial Peeple App Changes Course After Backlash

Peeple appears to be going through a full renovation, as the app's social channels and website are no longer available.

Peeple, a planned “Yelp for people” mobile app, will slightly change its focus after severe backlash.

Peeple co-founder Julia Cordray wrote about the reception to the app (planned for beta testing next month) in a LinkedIn blog post. She’s still very focused on making Peeple about positivity, not negative commentary:

I have surrounded myself with positive people for 34 years and I don’t plan on changing it now.

That’s why Peeple is focused on the positive and ONLY THE POSITIVE as a 100% OPT-IN system.
