Last time we talked about Poynt, they reached 1 billion interactions and 6.4 million unique users. Now they announced surpassing 9 million users across North America, Western Europe and Australia.
Unsurprisingly Android device owners represent a majority of all new users — of the over 700,000 new users added in June 2011, 500,000+ were on the Android platform, with existing preloads contributing to over 300,000 users. In July, the average number of new daily users added has exceeded 25,000.
If you don’t know what Poynt is all about, you should know it’s a local guide app that allows users to quickly locate businesses, retailers, restaurants and movie theaters; or obtain relevant local information, such as cheap gas prices, today’s weather and details about local events. Moreover, the application also allows interactions with the search results, from click-to-call business telephone numbers, dining reservations, and point-to-point directions to buying movie tickets after viewing trailers.
Poynt is a free app available across multiple platforms, including iOS, BlackBerry, Android, Symbian and Windows Phone 7.
