Let our users tell you their stories with Poppins.

"Such an innovative concept that quickly becomes second nature! It's a pleasure to be able to borrow/lend everyday items to neighbors and avoid overconsumption. I highly recommend Poppins ❤️"

Fatine

"Super happy to have discovered this neighbor sharing app. I found a hiking bag for this summer and a padel racket for the day, all in one day. It allowed me to do activities I wouldn't have done otherwise. And on the flip side, I've been very satisfied with my lending experiences - really happy that my power drill isn't just gathering dust in the back of a closet. I recommend it!"

Elise

"While renovating my apartment, Poppins really helped me out! I was able to borrow items that I only needed once. Booking is quick and the platform is user-friendly. Really delighted with my experience :)"

Camille

"When I discovered the app I was skeptical, the concept seemed too good to be true. So I tried it, and it worked brilliantly: I quickly and easily found hair clippers near my place, which I was able to borrow for free!"

Brice

"Thanks to Poppins I was able to go on a three-day trek in Brittany - less than three days after my request, someone lent me a tent and sleeping bag! On the other hand, I lent my vacuum cleaner to a neighbor because I wasn't using it (maybe not as much as I should be using it 😅) It's great to connect with people, help when we can, find help when we need it, and avoid overconsumption!"

Eva

"I was able to try Poppins both as a lender and as a borrower and I wasn't disappointed! It's helpful and allows you to meet and chat with your neighbors about their home improvement ideas or their recipe for Savoyard fondue!"
