Frequently Asked Questions

PeekThru is a real-time discovery app that shows you what places, events, and shops are really like through short, recent videos. From cafés and lookouts to festivals, sales, and local stores — see what’s happening before you go or buy.

No filters. No outdated reviews. Just reality in the moment.

Social apps like TikTok and Instagram are built for entertainment and polished posts. Review sites and Google Maps show snapshots of the past — old photos, outdated ratings, and reviews that may not match today.

We use AI moderation to detect and block inappropriate content.
