Where can I use Peepal?

How is Peepal different from a WhatsApp group?

Why is it called Peepal?
In Indian villages, people traditionally met under the peepal tree. The app is meant to be that meeting spot for your city, and the peepal leaf is its logo.
How do I get help or a refund?
In the app, open Settings and then Help & refunds, or use the Help & refunds page at cabalofclues.com/help to raise a ticket about your account, a payment or a refund.
