I have used it for some transactions and I am super satisfied. Excellent app.
The UI also took a major refresh in order to simply the process and user experience. From a personal perspective I think it simplified the process while making improvement in better showing the available options that the service offers.

I don't remember if it was already mentioned, but now it is possible to better manage the addresses used. Automatically, the same address is never used in each transaction, and when depositing money, you can also use new addresses. It is certainly an excellent way to increase transaction privacy.

Guess it's time to bump this thread - Peach Bitcoin has been receiving a lot of updates in the past months, anyone interested in the service should definitely check it out. A great catch up of what Peach has been doing is covered on their Christmas blog[1]. They now accept a lot of currencies as well (not active in USA).
Regarding market activity, per the latest blog[1], the service has "more than 15'000 trades completed/117 BTC traded/57'000 buy offers/22'000 sell offers (...)". Keep up the good work!

Just started using PeachBitcoin through the mobile app this week purely for its #kycfree feature.
I can only compare it to HodlHodl and I find PeachBitcoin unbelievably easy to use via the mobile app.
Its interesting that at this stage we are still classed as having "Early Access" after updating to
version 0.3.1.
Just want to say thanks for providing this #kycfree service.

For everyone who had concerns about PeachBitcoin source code, good news that developers released it on their github page, and it is verifiable with Commons Clause plus MIT license.
I know clear Open Source license would probably be better, but they wanted to have basic code protection against forking, and I can understand that more than when some hardware wallets are doing it.
Blog article is explaining more this decision to go with MIT-CC license:
https://peachbitcoin.com/blog/open-sourcing-our-peach-app/
Source: https://github.com/Peach2Peach/peach-app/blob/develop/LICENSE.md
This makes PeachBitcoin one of the best mobile options for exchanging Bitcoin for cash, with no-kyc at the moment (with reasonable limits).
PS
Make sure to update to latest Peach version that was released few days ago.

Let's just think logically together (why the Peach is very promising).
I was one of the first guys who wrote about PeachBitcoin in forum, so I deserve some share of future profits, right? Just kidding, but I am open for business 
They have big growth potential because many people still didn't hear about Peach or they never used it, so there are no sell/buy offers available in many countries.
Biggest problem for me so far is the fact they still didn't switch to (more) open version of code, and they are not available anywhere outside Europe, as far as I know.
I would also like to see Peach web version, that can work as alternative for people who already signed up with smartphones.
- Ten31 became the leader of the round (Pre-seed).
- At the beginning of May, Peach surpassed one million trading volume in CHF (which at the time was approximately 45 BTC). For a project that started in September 2022, I find this amount amazing, and it makes me believe that P2P adoption has a good future ahead of it.
- There is practically no competition among peer-to-peer trading platforms (not centralized exchanges advertising themselves as P2P). There are only a few names on the list - Bisq, Hodlhodl, AgoraDesk, Robosats.
- Already, Peach has three times as many buy orders as the infamous Binance P2P.
- Peach fully operates on a Bitcoin Standard (Peach doesn’t have a bank account, has its reserve in BTC and will get its revenue in BTC.
I think that being transparent on this subject is always good [...]
That's why I like Peach so much... I've spent dozens of hours texting Steph and I can say with confidence that she will defend Peach's ideals at all costs. They are having a pretty busy days right now as they prepare for the next seed round and if I had half a million dollars in Bitcoin I would definitely invest in them as Peach has a lot of potential. Lol... if anyone has half a million dollars in BTC let me know... i would like to borrow from you to invest in Peach.Let's just think logically together (why the Peach is very promising).

Another thing:
They said the dispute rate is about 2%. Very low to me, but the matter was they're not in shame to say it. I was a bit surprised.
I've never heard a platform having this transparency about it.
I think that being transparent on this subject is always good since disputes (and how they are proceeded, how much there are, etc) are always the first question that someone asks when they hear about P2P markets (at least whenever I engage in this discussion with someone else) and that is understandable since people want to feel that there is a system protecting both buyers/sellers. They are also very active on their Telegram channel as well regarding this - You just have to post your dispute and someone from their team will tell you their current status and what they can do to help you out. Overall a very direct and clear communication (which is great to see!), that allows for an easier adoption by trusting the system. They said the dispute rate is about 2%. Very low to me, but the matter was they're not in shame to say it. I was a bit surprised.

I didn't know Nostr until 2-3 days ago. (yes I know, what a shame). It's amazing what can be done with it and when I thought about it, the idea is very similar to Bitcoin's keys.
By jumping in the train, PeachBitcoin would really be an early adoptor in this area.

(generally speaking, honesty is rewarding soon or later)
Taking advantage of that update, I recently also found out that QnA (Head of Customer Service of Foundation Devices[1]) wrote a really in depth guide[2] regarding how to use Peach Bitcoin that is really useful for users that may be interested in trying out the service.
Regarding going open source, @capoczino, the lead developer of the wallet, has recently talked about it:

To be clear, the app will be source code verifiable under MIT-CC

Looks like Peach is heading in the right direction. 
I also spoke with Steph not too long ago and she was kind enough to share what they want to focus on in the near future.
Guys... I can't tell you what a positive charge comes from this bitcoin maximalist.

Code:
1. Open order book, peach can be built on nostr
2. Built-in market discovery data (I think that’s the killer use case)
3. LN integration

Secondly, as per Steph announcement (who I assume runs the OP account) today, Peach has surpassed the millionth CHF volume traded (which equals to roughly 45 BTC as of now). For a project that started in September of 2022[1][2], I find this amount awesome and it makes be believe that P2P adoption has a good future ahead.
Sorry for the double post but thought that this could be interesting - As of 15th of June, Peach has surpassed 55 P2P BTC traded in their app/service. In about 1.5 months they were able to increase the volume by 10 BTC which is great considering that their marketing is still low and they are still ironing out their app. Congrats @Peach Bitcoin! It looks like my unobtrusive congratulation turned into a lot of retweets for my pizza. 
That sure is some devotion to both pizza and Peach! I sure hope it was as tasty as it looks! Peach gets exposition and you get to taste some delicious pizza - Win win?

Reading your definition of it and after listening to the podcast section, I would say that yes, it is the same license. This is mostly because your information matches with my bullet points - they want to protect the code to be used by other people and prevent (exterior) financial benefit.
This license is better than closed source but it's clearly not open source.I don't want this to become industry standard, just because you don't want someone else to fork your code (and maybe improve it).
However, this is still better than current license they are using now, but they shouldn't put open source label on it.
It would only be fair to let people use the code freely by e.g. launching a modified version of the code, for instance to make a Monero exchange or whatnot. Then, the original project can learn from the bug fixes and modifications of the 'fork team' and implement those changes, too. Win-win.
I guess we should all thank ''NVK coldcard'' for this invention... shame(not) Satoshi was not so ''smart'' to do the same thing with Bitcoin license 
Dies MITCC means MIT Common Clause license?
If that is the case, than this is not really open source license, similar stuff is used by Coldcard and this is verifiable code.
I will have to find some time to listen that podcast.

Also security-wise, I highly doubt you will get any 'free security reviews' and bug fixing pull requests if people are meant to do them purely out of the kindness of their heart.

Sure, but I prefer reading code instead. Only code gives you the full picture and confidence about what data is really collected and uploaded to their servers.
I agree, even if I am not developer and can't read the code very well, but I know other security experts will do it.Good news is that Peach devs announced they are moving everything to opensource, but without any eta.
It would be best if they could say more about that, since they are already registered in forum.
The planned license to implement in the MITCC. MITCC basically allows any user to use the code to create another application but aren't able to create a company based on the code used (by Peach Wallet).

Then you have to create two campaigns here in the forum for the massive awareness. Signature campaign and Review campaign. These two campaigns will give you enough customers to the site.
I don't think that Peach is ready for mass marketing (yet) and it seems that I am not the only one thinking about that[1]. If I were them, I would wait until their previously shared roadmap is done[2] before considering making a signature campaign (if they ever do one). The reason for that is simple - you have to have a mature product in order to receive/attract a larger audience than they currently have. So far the UI also seems to be a bit rough in some areas but also the options could be improved (for example you only have the option to empty your Peach Wallet to an address of yours, you can't make a custom transfer). Make no mistake, I totally support small companies in spreading a word regarding their product, but I also believe that in order for a campaign to be successful, the product itself has to have a certain maturity in order to avoid the usual problems that non-mature app have (crashing, confusing UI, servers overloading, amongst others).In the future, if they do decide to run a campaign here, I'm sure icopress is up to the task
.PS: I think it is worthwhile to mention that, despise having invested 0 sats[3] in their app, their volume traded has surpassed a million CHF[4]. Congratulations on the achievement @Peach Bitcoin!
