A New App Lets You Rate People, Just Like Yelp

If you’ve been scrolling through your social media lately, you may have come across a buzz about a new app called Peeple. Dubbed the “Yelp for people,” this service allows users to create profiles for anyone they know and provide reviews and star ratings without even asking for permission. Yikes, right?

The app is surprisingly easy to navigate. As long as you’re over 21, have a phone number, and have been on Facebook for at least six months, you’re good to go. Once you sign up, you can create profiles for your friends, family, or even acquaintances, share your experiences with them—both good and bad—and rate them on a scale of one to five stars based on their character.

Here’s the kicker: only positive reviews will show up on your profile until you claim it. However, the fact that anyone can create a profile using your personal info is concerning. Plus, people can say whatever they want about you! If someone writes a nasty review, you can respond privately or leave a comment, but you can’t delete it.

The creators, Mia and Tom, seem to think they’re onto something great. They call it a “positivity service” that helps people connect better. One of them even claimed that as a parent, she wanted a way to assess whom she could trust with her kids. But let’s be real—people can easily misuse this platform. Imagine someone saying, “Sally is a thief,” and she has no way to erase that from the internet.

The internet has had a field day criticizing this app, pointing out that it could haunt you for years, making it hard to escape a past mistake or poor interaction. It also opens the door for bullies, stalkers, and anyone with a personal grudge to mess with your life. It’s hard to believe that anyone thinks this app is a good idea.

Oddly enough, Mia and Tom seem a bit rattled by the backlash and have been trying to figure out how to manage all the negative attention. No matter how they spin it, treating people like products is just wrong. This app doesn’t protect your kids or help you network; it’s a recipe for drama and a public display of personal attacks that can never be wiped clean. In short, Peeple is a huge mistake. Zero stars for this one.

In summary, while Peeple might sound like a quirky idea, it opens the door to many potential issues, including bullying and invasion of privacy. It’s a stark reminder that not all innovations are beneficial, especially when they concern real people and their reputations.
