Peeple: Controversial 'Yelp for People' Reputation App Launches on iOS

Peeple allows users to leave ‘feedback’ about others in three areas: personal, professional and dating.

Controversial reputation app Peeple has officially launched, allowing users to leave ‘feedback’ about others in three areas: personal, professional and dating. The app, which was described by many as Yelp for people, came under fire when it was first announced in October 2015, as the platform’s original form wouldn’t let users opt out of being reviewed.

To be clear, in the app’s previous design, users could write reviews about anyone so long as they had their phone number, and these users couldn’t delete any potentially negative comments posted about them.
