He lives very close to you, sometimes next door, sometimes opposite. He may be nice, discreet, or very noisy, he is your neighbor. You don’t know him well. He helped you out sometimes by lending you a stepladder. You did the same by lending him a mower, but it didn’t go any further. Would you like to, but don’t dare? There is the neighbours’ party to bond, but the next one is only scheduled for May 26, 2023. Don’t you want to wait until then? The Smile application will allow you to easily exchange with them. It is a network of connection between all the neighbors of the district. Ideal when you need a drill to mount your chest of drawers or salt for your next dish. You can ask the people adjoining your house or apartment to save you the day at any time. It’s also a good way to indicate upcoming neighborhood events. And who knows, maybe several people go!

The application, with its network of 494,537 members, carried out a study on the goods and services shared by neighbors in 2017, on 350,000 people. Thus, he is found in the top 10 of services rendered, small DIY, babysitting, animal care, school support, advice for his vegetable garden, administrative and computer help, music lessons, cleaning and finally alterations and cultivation. What about objects? Lending, borrowing, sometimes never returned… Here is the ranking of the most exchanged objects between neighbors, in France, according to Smile.
