Ask Poppy plans like someone who actually knows you. Tell Poppy about a trip, a home project, a party, or something you're curious about, and it builds a real, usable plan — not a generic checklist. Every suggestion comes with the reasoning behind it, so you can see why, not just what. WHAT POPPY PLANS • Trips and cruises — full day-by-day itineraries, built around your dates, your pace, and how you actually like to travel • Home projects — phased checklists from permits to finishing touches, sized to your skill level and who's doing the work • Parties — guest lists with RSVP tracking, headcount, and dietary notes, so the numbers stop being a guess • Research — clear, sourced write-ups on anything you're curious about • Moves — the logistics of getting from one place to the next IT GETS TO KNOW YOU Answer a few quick questions once, and Poppy uses them in every plan after — your pace, your budget, who you usually travel with — so you're not re-explaining yourself every time. Change any of it in Settings whenever you like. BUILT AROUND YOUR PRIVACY Guest names and notes never leave your phone — Poppy is only ever told the numbers. Contact search only ever sees the one person you tap, never your address book. Anything Poppy learns from how you use the app happens on your device and stays there, and you can see and delete all of it at any time. Your first 3 asks are free. Subscribe for unlimited planning. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
