Super fun! ### 5/5 — Better than Instagram *2024-08-30* I love that the social media app is about connecting with your friends rather than posting pictures of yourself.

The questions can sometimes be serious, funny, nostalgic, etc. and the cool part has been the times it has gotten me to connect more deeply (jumping onto a text thread or call because a game we played on peel brought up a funny story or memory). I’m hooked! ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-12-17* In a sea of social media apps that disconnect us, peel feels like it does the opposite. It’s an easy and fun way to connect with friends and fam on a daily basis. I love that it’s often a moment in my day to stop and think of a memory or find an old photo and pause in my rushed day to enjoy some nostalgia. And often the responses to prompts cause fully belly laughter. It’s honestly super nourishing. ### 5/5 — Great prompts! *2024-12-17* The prompts feel so well thought out I loveeee ### 5/5 — Even closer with my friends! *2024-12-16* I’m usually not someone who gets hooked on apps, but this one is so fun and has led to talking more often and in more depth with friends. I love it! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun! *2024-12-16* Great, fun app! I’ve enjoyed playing with groups of friends and family to get to know them better. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
