## Review summary

Many reviews praise Pepul's simple, LinkedIn-like concept and usefulness, but reliability is a major issue. The top pain points are authentication problems (signup, OTP, login), frequent crashes and bugs that block posting media, and a phone-number-only signup with privacy concerns. Users also note the app feels clone-like and complain about weak moderation and low-quality content/no reporting. While some regard the interface as positive and see potential in features like jobs, critical stability improvements are needed for broader adoption.

### Pros

- Simple, user-friendly interface
- Has potential for content creation and professional networking (e.g., job postings)
- Overall usefulness and positive sentiment about the app's concept
- Some feedback compares it favorably to LinkedIn due to its simplicity

### Cons

- Sign-in/signup/OTP authentication issues and crashes
- App crashes and bugs that affect posting/uploading media (e.g., missing video upload button)
- Phone-number-only signup with no email option and related privacy concerns
- Perceived cloning/copycat nature of the app
- Lack of content moderation/reporting and poor feed/content quality
