Comments
- I used to be a huge fan, but my patience ran out. I recently switched from BB and I never had issues on that platform. Since I got an Android I downloaded Poynt more then once to see if the problems abated on the Android platform. Nope same Issues every time. So I've been using the Beta version for a while and the interface is so outdated. No Beta expired and I'm forced back to this crappy app that keeps freezing on me and half the icons don't show weather doesn't work.......I can go on for hours. Crap! UPDATE: Best app EVER!!! Problems fixed with last update!
- I've had this app on every smart phone I have ever had even back using the original BlackBerry Storm and it's so crisp, clean smooth and handy it should have been adopted by a major phone company by now and come pre-installed. Yes you may have other apps on your phone that do the same jobs, but with Poynt you have them all in the one place and I guarantee that it runs smoother and quick Recommended to anyone one day you will find you need it and then you will notice yourself using it more and more.
- I've used this app since I had a smart phone, well a blackberry. Works great, did what I needed it for my blackberry. I didn't use it much on this phone because I have apps or built in apps that does what this does. But I would recommend this to anyone.
- I've used this app for years, great to have. Search movie theaters, restaurants and cheap gas prices. You'll enjoy what you find, even better it's accessible to navigate you to the destination with connection to GPS.
- I'm glad this app got fixed. It is so useful and I wasn't looking forward to uninstalling. I would recommend this app now that it is fixed.
- How do I resolve this issue? Never happened before.. I have enough memory and storage on my phone. Very frustrating!!!! Help!!!
- This app has helped me so many times. Great reference lookup and fast & accurate. Been great on all my motorola & lg devices..
- Need to know where the lowest price gas station is at ? It what time a movie is showing? This app will Poynt the way!!!
- I've been using poynt for years across many platforms. This is the most accurate I've seen it.
- Love this app very easy for everything in my Area and when I go to other cities
