Poynt is a real-time local search tool that allows you to find what you want, when you need it – and that's what we think sharing with us should be like too. We want you to join the conversation and make location-based search even better, for everyone.

The Poynt Blog is a great way to communicate with us about issues that matter to mobile users and consumers, or to just find out what's happening with us.

Things are looking 'app' in 2012

Submitted by drupaladmin on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 10:22

The Mobile Marketing Association of Asia stated that out of the 6 billion people on the planet, 4.8 billion have a mobile phone while only 4.2 billion own a toothbrush.Now that is something to think about! The world of smartphones and apps is only going to continue to grow and grow. Which sparks the question - how many apps does the average person use? There are an infinite amount of options out there- ranging from talking cats, calorie trackers, photo booths and more.

Want current petrol prices? Save Time and Money with Poynt!

Submitted by drupaladmin on Mon, 01/16/2012 - 10:39

What is the easiest way to find current petrol prices on the go? Driving around aimlessly is not exactly an economical solution and your local petrol station doesn’t always have the cheapest prices. Petrol prices fluctuate almost daily and we could all use some help keeping petrol costs down. But sometimes it isn’t a matter of locating the cheapest gas, just the closest station so you can avoid having to flag someone down with your jerry can.
