The iPad on the counter, earning its keep
There is a moment every afternoon when somebody needs to know what is left of the day. Poppins on an iPad answers it from across the kitchen: five diaries side by side, whatever needs deciding in red, this week's dinners and the shopping list, all on one screen.

How it works
Prop it up
Open Poppins on an iPad and it lays itself out as a household display rather than a stretched phone app: a sidebar of who's about and what they're in the middle of, and the day across the rest.
Read the afternoon at a glance
Everyone's day on one axis, the now line at the actual time, and anything that clashes in red with a button to hand it over.
Tick things off as you pass
The shopping and what needs doing sit alongside, so the list gets ticked by whoever is walking past rather than by whoever remembers later.
What you get
- Everyone's day side by side on the big screen
- Who's about, and what each of them is in the middle of right now
- This week's dinners, and the shopping, without changing screens
- Poppins answering questions from the same screen
- The same household on iPhone, iPad and the web
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an iPad?
No. Everything here is on the web in any browser, and on iPhone. The iPad layout simply uses the extra room; it is the same household either way.
Is the app included?
Yes. The iPhone and iPad app is part of the £19.99 a month; there is nothing extra to buy.
Does it work offline?
The app keeps what you've done while you had no signal (a ticked item in a supermarket basement, say) and sends it the moment it can, so nothing you did quietly disappears.
Somebody should be keeping track
Fourteen days free, the whole household, everything included.
