Editors Must Have Apps: Poynt for BlackBerry

March 12th, 2010 BBerryNews

Poynt is an amazing application for BlackBerry users offered by Multiplied Media Corporation and is a personal favorite of mine. It is the most complete all-in-one local search application I have come across and I strongly encourage all BlackBerry users to have it on their device. Since the public beta release nearly two years ago in June of 2008, Multiplied Media has built upon Poynt’s strong foundation of capabilities offering an incredibly rich and user friendly experience.

Multiplied Media provides not only accuracy in their product, but efficiency. When entering a search based on name or location, the results give the user a comprehensive amount of information from the businesses, restaurants, or movies surrounding them. The results are displayed by proximity ranging from the closest listing to your GPS or cell-site based location. From here, you can expect an array of options from making a reservation, a phone call, purchasing tickets, or even viewing a movie trailer; all within a single application and all with the click of a button. Address book, calendar, and mapping integration offer seamless transitions to your next plan of action.

The ease of use sells itself. As does the other part that contributes to Poynt’s overwhelming success; its rich graphical user interface. In the latest revision, Poynt not only displays the temperature on the home screen, but adjusts itself based on the time of day and your current location. Once your position is determined, the application displays anything from the rays of a sun shining brightly, to gloomy clouds, and even a rain drops dripping off a window effect. Combine this with support from powerful and respected partners such as Citysearch, OpenTable.com, and Yelp, and there really needs no more to be said.

Disagree? Leave a comment and let us know why; but do not do so until you have downloaded and tried it for yourself. Head over to BlackBerry App World for your copy today. If you do not have BlackBerry App World installed you can also point (no pun intended) your browser to http://m.mypoynt.com from your browser.

A New Version Of Poynt for BlackBerry, Now With Restaurant Search, Avaialable

August 27th, 2009 BBerryNews

Poynt

We received a notification early this morning that a new version of the BlackBerry local search application, Poynt, has been updated and now includes restaurant information.

Poynt, since first coming out, has been, in my opinion, one of those must have free BlackBerry applications that no BlackBerry user should be without.

You can get Poynt on BlackBerry App World or download it OTA by pointing your device to http://m.mypoynt.com.

The official press release went out at 9:00 a.m. EST and is now posted after the jump.

MULTIPLIED MEDIA ANNOUNCES ABILITY TO SEARCH RESTAURANTS, READ REVIEWS AND BOOK DINING RESERVATIONS IN POYNT

Calgary—August 25, 2009—Multiplied Media Corporation (TSX:V MMC), an award-
winning, Calgary-based provider of mobile local search services, is pleased to announce the
addition of restaurant search for over 880,000 Poynt customers in Canada, the United
States and the United Kingdom.

Poynt’s restaurant search feature rounds out the already robust business, movie and
people search offering, while maintaining its ease of use and outstanding graphical user
interface. The section features enhanced restaurant listings and enables users to easily find
nearby restaurants, read reviews and book dining reservations. To enhance the user’s
experience, icons are displayed when restaurant reviews or dining reservations are
available for a restaurant listing.

.Dining and restaurant queries comprise approximately 50% of business searches in
Poynt,. said Andrew Osis, CEO, Multiplied Media. .With a feature this important to our
customers, it made sense to deepen their experience with a standalone restaurant module.
More restaurants to search, the added functionality of restaurant reviews and the ability to
book a reservation will satisfy a large segment of our customer base..

Once in the restaurant section, Poynt’s customers are offered three ways to search:
Restaurants Near Me, Restaurants By Name and Restaurants By Cuisine. Features that
users have come to expect such as click-to-call, mapping, driving directions, integration
with BlackBerry® Calendar, BlackBerry® Contacts and BlackBerry® Messages are all
standard within the new restaurant module. As with the existing sections, all search
results are based on the consumer’s location – whether acquired by GPS or cell-site, or
manually entered – and are sorted by distance.

Poynt is a free** application and is available for the BlackBerry® Pearl™ and
BlackBerry® Curve™ series smartphones, as well as the BlackBerry® Bold™, BlackBerry®
Storm™ and BlackBerry® Tour™ smartphones and takes advantage of capabilities
including locates by GPS* and cell-site, click-to-call, click-to-map and click-to-browse-
website. Poynt is available to BlackBerry smartphone owners in Canada, the United States,
Germany and the United Kingdom. The latest version of Poynt is available for download on
BlackBerry App World™ (www.blackberry.com/appworld) or by visiting
http://m.mypoynt.com from your BlackBerry® Browser.

Poynt is also in development for the iPhone with a private beta scheduled for Q3 and
a commercial release expected in Q4 this year.

*Requires a GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphone.

** Wireless charges may apply. Please check with your wireless service provider.
