PopIn works fully in the browser, nothing to download. But if you're on it a lot, the app puts PopIn on your home screen with proper push notifications. Your guests never need any of this, an invite link opens in any browser, see RSVPing without a PopIn account.
Three ways to get it
| Where | How |
|---|---|
| iPhone | Search PopIn on the App Store |
| Android | Search PopIn on Google Play |
| Any browser | Add popin.events to your home screen from the browser menu |
For the browser route: in Chrome, open the menu (⋮) and tap Add to Home screen. In Safari, tap Share and choose Add to Home Screen. You get an app icon that opens PopIn full-screen.
Turn on push notifications
Say yes when PopIn asks
Shortly after you sign in, PopIn asks "Turn on notifications?", tap Enable. Miss it? You'll get another nudge the next time you RSVP Going to an event, so reminders can find you.
Or flip it on in Settings
Go to Settings → Notifications and find the Push on this device card at the top. Tap Enable, approve the system prompt, done.
If it says "Blocked"
You (or your phone) said no at some point, so PopIn can't ask again. On Android: Settings → Apps → PopIn → Notifications → Allow, then reopen PopIn. On iPhone: Settings → Notifications → PopIn. In a browser: allow notifications for popin.events in the site settings, then refresh.
The Push on this device card controls the device you're holding, not your whole account. Enable it on each phone or browser you want pinged. What actually gets sent (and when) lives in the same tab, see Changing notification preferences.
Swiping around
In both apps you can swipe from the very edge of the screen to move through pages: in from the left edge to go back, in from the right edge to go forward. Start the swipe at the edge itself, mid-screen swipes are left alone so stories, carousels, and chat gestures keep working. On iPhone this is the native iOS gesture; on Android it's built into the PopIn app (you won't get it in a normal browser tab).
