About the bots by the way, the verification feature makes it pretty obvious. Anyways, my main suggestion is to add a feature to maybe filter like who you see on the app by region or whatever. Like I’m from California right, and like my priority is people from California, like what am I gonna do wit a mf from like Maine or smth, so a feature that let’s you filter people by state (or maybe even city in states with multiple large cities (for example, California)) would be pretty helpful. ### 4/5 — Grey Screen *2024-02-18* This is a great app and all and I’ve really had a lot of fun with it when I wanna talk with new people but I ran into a problem recently where I deleted the app because I wasn’t using it as much and then re downloaded it maybe 5 days later and when I opened it up it would just show a grey screen with the logo in the middle of it and I did everything any sensible person would do like restarting my phone deleting and reinstalling the app but it still showed that same grey screen. I really like this app and would love to start using it again so If you could fix this asap that would be great. ### 2/5 — Ban bug *2024-02-13* So someone already made a review talking about this but I wanna made one too I got banned for using a vpn? But I don’t have a vpn installed I’m not even sure what a vpn is so I looked it up on google and it protects your privacy? Which sounds good so why are you banning people who uses privacy protection that is suspicious very suspicious then you ask for them to turn on their location while using the app this seems very odd but it doesn’t matter Because I wasn’t even using a vpn and even after deleting the app and reinstalling it and turning in my location it still doesn’t work this app was perfectly fine i don’t know what happened it was so randomly as well they banned me while I was scrolling like wth now I doubt the developers will respond to this because it wasn’t really a responsibility written review but I still had to say what needed to be said. ### 2/5 — Was this wizz before ? *2024-02-08* This generally seems like wizz but when you download it it’s so different, Usually when you put your age they’ll show other people around your age but when i put my age on this one it was giving me like 17 or 19 year olds. It’s very odd and pretty dangerous considering that it says 12+ i also seen other girls my age on there showing there butts or body’s. It’s pretty important and i’m kinda disappointed. Also when i search up wizz this app pops up. But wizz was really good idk abt this “ new updated version “ but i don’t like it and it makes me pretty sad cause i used to just go onto wizz for fun and troll or chat with others. I do not like this app. ### 4/5 — Problem: Grey Screen *2024-02-08* I do like this app, I do. But, the only issue i’m having is that last night i was just talking and texting people on the app, and the. i turned my phone off, left it by itself for a second and then when i went back on my phone and tried to open the app again, it just showed a grey screen with the logo on it. i’m still getting notifications from it, but i cannot answer them because the screen is grey. this is a fun app, but this is the only problem i’ve been having and i would really like to have it fixed! if you could respond to this as soon as possible that would be great. ### 3/5 — Bug *2024-02-08* This app is amazing. One of my favorite apps to js scroll on or use when i’m bored out of my mind. I’ve been using it everyday since I downloaded it. Now i can’t even use it due to a bug. I had a VPN which I forgot I downloaded on my device. I found it and deleted the VPN because I couldn’t use the app afterwards. Now that I’ve deleted the VPN the app should work right? No. It continues to not work. It tells me I need to go into my settings and turn on my Location Services. So i go into my settings, find the Location Services, turn it off and then turn it back on. I would think this would fix the problem, but it didn’t. I am still hanging trouble with the app and I hope this gets fixed soon because it says I am banned for using a VPN and I have now deleted it. How can I fix the app? ### 3/5 — pros and cons *2024-02-07* this app is helpful for finding friends or a boo or whatever.. and i love how it lets you go back on someone if you swiped too fast. BUT the age requirement is too young and there are a lot of children posting nudity literally child p0rn and it’s absolutely disgusting. please fix that because a 13yr little girl texted me and she had lingerie on in her profile!! the app is not strict enough so thats a problem. and the age range should be able to be chosen like if you’re 17-19 it should be around your age group. not 13-14yrs being able to talk to grown men or women!! and you need to be able to have bios and edit your profile name etc. ### 4/5 — Over all good app *2024-02-06* Over all good app decent features but becoming a money hungry app also problems with deleting my account couldn’t delete it for a while then once was able to delete and make a new one nothing would happen and peakaboo would just be on my screen I redownload the app now it’s saying banned for using vpn but I have no vpn on my phone please help if anyone knows the problem ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2024-02-06* This app is awesome for meeting new people. A couple things though. First, there needs to be a crackdown on people posting inappropriate things on their profiles and sending inappropriate things. The amount of times I stumble across people who ask me if I wanna buy nudes and stuff like that is ridiculous. The second thing is that there needs to be a settings menu to change your demographics. Other than that. This app is awesome ### 3/5 — Peekaboo *2024-01-29* Its a good app i love it but my screen froze and is stuck on the peekaboo with grey background screen, ive tried deleting it and everything hopefully this bug gets fixed! Also, it would be cool if there was a request filter so like everyone who messages me goes straight to my requests instead of all messages going straight to me, and itd be cool if i could choose a preference if i would only like to see boy or only like to see girls ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2024-01-25* I think the app it’s self is good but the people one it not so much, there are way to many guys and girls that want to send pictures and ask me to send pictures and won’t stop until I block them, one even was going to pay me $500 or more, please get these people off of this app. Also I wish the app showed more people that were in your age group, like my cousin downloaded it and she’s 13 and a 17 year old was texting her asking if she wanted a freaky bf. I uninstalled it because it started to get really weird and I didn’t met one person that wanted to just be my friend ### 4/5 — Feelings and Improvement *2024-01-16* I honestly love this app,for more Snapchat adds etc, but as I’ve been scrolling on this app I’ve seen grown men posting nudes on their accounts,women selling their body’s and this isn’t a personal problem ,but as the app states it says 12+ meaning there are 12 year olds on this app and it doesn’t filter age groups. Another thing I like is how it notifies you when someone texts you ,which alike Snapchat is a good thing But another problem which this one,is personal ,see my account won’t allow me to text anybody anymore? I don’t know what’s going on with it but if you could respond to this review,I would definitely most appreciate it! ### 4/5 — Good app but, all gray *2024-01-14* I like this app a lot i met a few people and was enjoying it then i later forgot about it then ended up deleting it for storage and then a week later got bored and redownloaded it, i was excited to talk to some new people but after i made the account it all went gray so i clicked out of the app and re tried and it was showing the front page but everything thats supposed to have a picture or information was gray. i have sense deleted and redownloaded it and even went farther to power my phone of and check my internet, it is still doing it 2 days later. I love this app and I hope that it gets fixed but if it is happening to u too then your not alone lol ### 4/5 — Needs some major improvements *2024-01-14* I really like the layout and this app in general but it wouldn’t let me delete my account after restarting my phone and closing the tab at least ten times and after making my account the screen kept going blank and it wouldn’t let me add photos and everything was just gone like no pictures or anything and I know it’s not my phone because my WiFi works and my phone works ### 4/5 — There’s some weirdos on here *2024-01-13* Okay, love this app but I deleted it bc I kept getting- private pictures of PRIVATE THINGS that a kid should not be able to see. I was also asked for n00ds by 17-18 yo people. There was some really nice people so I was sad to delete it, but there should be a way that the creators of this app can look at pics and maybe even some messages before they are sent for that reason. Again, not the creators fault, it’s a really great app, just some suggestive pictures and messages. ### 4/5 — New features *2024-01-12* It’s a great app overall but I think there should be an age filter option also maybe a location filter option it could make things a lot easier for people I just know if I made a friend and they lived in Florida that would not be fun considering I am In California. Also an age thing would be great because then I wouldn’t be seeing 19 year old girls selling… 😓 ### 3/5 — It’s okay…. *2024-01-07* It’s an okay app but half the time I can’t send messages. I haven’t been able to send a message to ANYONE for two days now and I’m not sure if I’m blocked from features or?? I can get texts just can’t send them it’s honestly weird. And when the app does work you can’t send texts if you have a vpn on and it’ll just sometimes not work at all I don’t know…. ### 3/5 — Notifications and nudity *2023-12-30* I had the app for a long time now and i use to get notifications when someone would text me but like now the notifications aren’t working and when i go on the app to do the usual browsing, I come upon messages from people that i wasn’t even notified about. Reason why i really give it 3 stars is because there is so much nudity on the app, You scroll to look for some friends and your greeted by people naked pictures in like 2 seconds …. I only came on this app to make mutuals, Not have people send me unwanted Pictures of they’re 🍆 that i haven’t even ask for,and I know the moderators are working tirelessly to fix all this and i respect that. ### 3/5 — pretty good but some suggestions *2023-12-29* ive only had this app for 2 days and so far i like it but there are some things that would make it better -mass deleting chats i have like probably 200 chats and i like to keep my stuff organized and i’m not gonna go through all of them and delete them individually😭 there should be a feature where you select a bunch and then delete them -add text to profile slides people get the wrong idea about me and i would like a way to say that i’m just looking for friends on my profile and also write some stuff about myself, i think it would be a great way to get people with similar interests to meet -moderation!!! the moderation is not good.. my first day on the app i instantly got SO MANY disgusting and graphic dms and pictures 😭 it was insane and i honesty dont understand why nothing is being done about it? and the people with their nudes and dicks on their profile? i don’t want to see that bruh ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — terrible someone tried to hold me ransom *2024-02-21* ok so story time someone named eliza image on the app 16 from ohio (haha so funny ohio yeah ik) but anyway so she acted like she wanted to be my friend and i start talking to her and give her my number. we did face reveal and then she asked me for my insta and something told me not to get it. THEN THIS GIRL TAKES THE IMAGE AND PHOTOSHOPS SOME RANDOM GIRLS 🐱 NEXT TO MY FACE SAYING SHES GONNA SPREAD IT EVERYWHERE IF I DONT GIVE HER 500 DOLLARS. the funniest part is her grammar was legit so terrible like ok girl we can tell it’s your first and last ransom. your plate was cold. Anyways so basically i blocked her and reported her but this app is terrible yall off brand wizz fr. they thought they ate. they aren’t even the fart. anyways thanks for reading DONT GET THIS DUMB APP. ### 1/5 — NOT SAFE FOR TEENS *2024-02-06* this app is full of disgusting pedophiles and weirdos. i guarantee you that some of these people are weird 40 year old men behind the screen. i put pictures of myself, nothing explicit just me smiling and posing. 5 minutes in i get disgusting messages from guys who are 4 years older than me. i am 13 years old and no young girl should be exposed by these messages and pictures. absolutely disgusting take this app down. i got this app off tik tok advertising it for teens. this place is basically the hub. you guys are just making the problem about young teenagers getting exposed to nudity even worse. i thought wizz was bad, but this app needs to be taken down. ### 1/5 — Update makes app unusable *2024-01-22* Hello! i used to use peekaboo very frequently before all the newest updates probably around end of December and the beginning of January. Yet, i deleted my account once the new year started but i once again installed the app and made an account. i first realized that i wasn't getting as many requests as i did before even though i had some of the same pictures and even better. Then, i thought if i’m not getting messages ill just send them and every message I sent it fails to send through to the other person. Ive tried to delete my account and make a new one and i cant even delete my account. They need to fix this asap. ### 1/5 — Can’t delete my account from the settings most of the people aren’t from my area & are bots 🤖 *2024-01-16* I can’t delete my account from the app settings it won’t let me delete my account or get help from the support team/service/system. Most of the people I’ve been talking to aren’t from my area & they’re either from a different area region ,country , and state only a few people I’ve hit up are from my area & they aren’t even my age so this app definitely 💯 👍🏾 needs a revamp, revitalizing, and updating the whole App from top to bottom it has a lot that needs to be fixed up ### 1/5 — So confused. *2024-01-15* Ok so I absolutely love the app no complaints, until now. The app has been running fine, good at finding friends and people I like to talk to, kinda slow and buggy but that’s not the real issue. I suddenly logged in today and I started to text people and swipe people but then all of a sudden none of my messages want to go through none of my swipes work, and yet I can’t even delete the account I have after all this nonsense to try and create a new one, but when I go to delete account I click it and it just takes me back to the home home page. ### 1/5 — Not at all what it’s advertised as *2024-01-15* When you download the app you put in your name,age, and a few pictures of your face. I downloaded it hoping to make some friends but when I joined all I got (as a 14 year old) was getting flashed by penises, getting asked for nudes/videos, seeing people put naked pics on their profiles, and even getting threatened to be raped a few times, all by 16-17 year old boys. It’s disgusting. Also on the app I saw grown man pretending to be 13-14 and asking little girls for nudes. This app needs to be more inspected to be sure people are not faking their ages. This app contains child porn and pedos, it was fun for laughs but seriously this app is wild. Purchase at your own risk. ### 1/5 — Pedophiles and apps covering it *2024-01-11* I saw an add for this app on tiktok and downloaded it because they said it was a fun place for TEENS to hang out. I didn’t even put photos of my body, just nice photos of my face that I like and in a matter of minutes I was harassed by 20+ yr old men asking for nudes and sending nudes. Then we I got the same add on tiktok again with this app once again advertising TEENAGERS to use this app, I commented this: “this app is full of pedos and creepy men. Not even 10 minutes in using the app I was flashed twice and asked for nudes countless times. Don’t get this app” Then whoever runs peekaboo’s tiktok hadthe audacity to delete my review even though I’m warning other minors not to download the app. If apple let me give this app 0 stars I would but sadly the lowest I can do is 1 ### 1/5 — Unexpected pics *2023-12-21* If I could rate this app a zero I would! I see the age is 12+ but when I get on the app I see so many unexpected pictures of children exposing themselves! If you try to report the person the app will only report them if a certain amount of people report them also. The worst part is if anyone sends you any inappropriate pictures, texts , words the app will not allow you to block the person! This app is not good for kids! ### 1/5 — umm.. *2023-12-19* This app needs a lot of work, let’s start first with the profile option! Needs some work, I would love to be able to customize my profile more within the app, also I think instagram should be added to add option, who really uses snap like that anymore . 2nd, the moderation needs a lot of work, on other apps, they have an system to where any pictures or anything regarding selling stuff is warned and restricted, people such as minor sell nudity on there which is not only weird but disgusting. Please fix your app; you’re promoting it on big platforms like Tiktok , but still it needs a lottt of work. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2023-12-16* I thought I was making friends by giving them my ig tell me why they made a fake nude picture with my pictures from my ig and blackmailing me to send them 500 dollars what kind of app is this not only that this app is literally a sex app thats full of 20 year old who are sending pictures to 14-17 year olds and forcing them to link up this can cause children to go missing or even worst take my advice and make this app 40+ it’s sure not for kids not even teens. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — You if you’re younger than 16, please don’t get this app. *2024-02-21* I am compelled to rate this application highly in order to raise awareness about its alarming and potentially hazardous nature. Regrettably, this platform has become an unequivocal breeding ground for individuals with malicious intent, specifically targeting vulnerable minors. The presence of pedophiles within this app is distressingly prevalent, posing a genuine threat to the safety and well-being of underage users. One of the most concerning aspects is the rampant solicitation and distribution of explicit content, including the sale of explicit images. Equally distressing is the fact that underage individuals, often unknowingly, are exposed to this inappropriate content while attempting to engage in innocent social interactions. The extent of this issue is truly astonishing and demands immediate attention. TLDR: This app harbors a dangerous number of pedophiles and poses a significant risk to underage children. It's alarming how many people are selling explicit content and how kids are exposed to it while trying to make friends. Keep your kids away from this app to protect them. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2024-01-31* This app is absolutely phenomenal I love it so much it’s very good. I do think it needs a few tweaks as in (checking peoples photos before them being able to post them) but otherwise I think it’s amazing NO adds and it’s just amazing in general and it doesn’t take barely any space up on your phone/ipad ### 5/5 — Deleting old account starting a new *2024-01-07* i wanted a fresh start on a new account so i deleted my old one and made a new one right away now none of my messages send i can’t log out or delete the account i have now i don’t know if im banned or something but its kinda annoying ### 5/5 — Creepy *2024-01-01* I download that app and asked you all these freaking questions and yet to add pictures of yourself and then use like text people and then they just like ask you for like your Snapchat and you’re like TikTok and it’s like really weird and then they’ll send you pictures of there private👎👎 ### 5/5 — LOVE THE APP *2023-12-18* one thing though is that i can’t log back into the acc i originally had. all of my friends where there and i can’t find them because there’s a bunch of people on the app. i strongly recommend that you add a feature when your signing in under a name if a certain account that has been deleted the app asks if thats them and you can say yes or no. or jus sign up with google or something. i have 3 accounts now under the same name and pictures because i was trying to get my main account back and i cant ### 5/5 — Underdeveloped and not safe *2023-12-08* Unsafe, not for kids, too much nudity and not enough filters, i delted my account but i don’t even know if my account actually deleted or not or if it’s still up and i just can’t access it anymore ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2023-11-24* This app is so good I haven’t met any bugs so far it works exactly how it’s supposed to and I’ve met a couple of cool people but it doesn’t notify you when someone responds to a message **Developer response:** Thanks for using Peekaboo, and we appreciate your feedback! We're glad to hear you're making friends in the app, and we'll look into that issue with notifications 💘 ### 5/5 — age restrictions *2023-11-11* This app is good but definitely needs to add age filtering & restrictions cus I’m 15 and I’ve had 32 yr old me texting me yk and that’s weird. There’s a lot of weird ppl on the app but I feel like the restrictions need to be in place soon **Developer response:** Thanks for using Peekaboo; we appreciate your feedback! We're working on adding filters for our users; stay tuned! ❣️ ### 5/5 — Successor to Wizz, overall a fun app! *2023-11-02* This app’s so much more relaxed over Wizz’s terms of service, despite being a much more secure and reliable app to meet new friends and talk with people It’s simple, easy, and it works nicely Occasionally there are dry days, so I do think the app need’s to work on its searching capabilities (display online users first, etc) Super fun! **Developer response:** thank you 🥹❤️ we appreciate your feedback! ### 5/5 — i can’t use app *2023-10-30* I can not use the app as it just shows the peekaboo home screen I would just like to use the app **Developer response:** Thanks for using Peekaboo! Please send a screen recording of the issue you're encountering to help@peekaboo.fyi so that we can look into this for you 🫶 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
