New app allows you to review and rate people

“People do so much research when they buy a vehicle or make those kinds of decisions”, Cordray said to The Washington Post. And yes, that means they’re all rating you, too, and you have no ability to opt out: Once someone puts your name in Peeple, you’re in.

Let’s not even get into the fact that Yelp, and review sites as a concept, have always been fundamentally flawed, because crowdsourcing opinions leads immediately to issues of bias, extreme subjectivity, and blatant inaccuracy – only people who love or hate something bother to write a review, and how do you know they aren’t just insane, self-selected critic that they are?

It’s not quite as terrifying as it sounds, though – if you haven’t set up your own profile, people will only see positive reviews about you. Co-founder Nicole McCullough comes at the app from a different angle: As a mother of two in an era when people don’t always know their neighbors, she wanted something to help her decide whom to trust with her kids. But let Cordray assure you: they are definitely good people. “As two empathetic, female entrepreneurs in the tech space, we want to spread love and positivity”, Cordray chirped. “We want to operate with thoughtfulness”. The app posts positive ratings instantly while negative reviews are placed in a queue to allow for disputes.

The app is getting a few negative criticism because of how a few of the information can’t be edited.

Modern hoteliers live in fear of meeting a grumpy customer, because they have the potential to demolish a reputation with just one bad TripAdvisor review.

There are also huge swathes of subjects that are out of bounds, according to the terms and conditions – things like health references, anything sexual, sexist or racist, any swearing or bullying. A YouTube video posted by Cordray and linked by the WashPo has been deleted, and there’s this Facebook rant post about a critical piece. To review someone, you must be over the age of 21, have an established Facebook account, and post the review under your real name.

Innovators are often put down because people are scared and they don’t understand.
