By Mark Prigg. A new app called Peppr was launched in Germany this month to connect potential clients with nearby prostitutes using their phone's GPS capabilities. It is described as a cross between the car-ordering service app Uber and the dating app Tinder. Clients log into the app and type in what they want: body type, eye color, personality traits, and the maximum price they are willing to pay.
Scroll down for video. Traditionally sex workers relied on cards in phone boxes - but now they have an app that can connect them with clients. It then uses GPS to match them with nearby sex workers, who must be independent sex workers and pass an interview. Pia Poppenreiter, the creator of the app, says she wanted to create a tool that prevented sex workers from waiting in the cold to find clients.
Poppenreiter says she pre-interviews people who wish to use the app to make sure they are working voluntarily and independently in the business. Pia says she came up with the idea after seeing sex workers out on the streets. TUI Booking. Privacy Policy Feedback.
