Poynt, a leading provider of mobile local search services, has announced that over 1 billion consumer queries and resulting actions have been performed using the Poynt mobile local search application ("Poynt" or the "App"). The data includes searches within the App's seven feature verticals: Businesses, People, Movies, Events, Gas, Restaurants and Weather as well as the behavioral data that indicates consumer intent such as clicking to call, clicking to browse and mapping directions.

Simultaneously, Poynt has surpassed another milestone, growing to over 6.4 million unique users. Poynt grew by an average of 30,000 new users daily during the month of February and continues to see strong growth on all platforms.

Poynt is a convenient and timesaving GPS-enabled mobile application that connects consumers to local businesses, events, restaurants, movie theaters, gas prices and weather information at the moment they are looking to buy or acquire products. Poynt provides consumers the ability to move beyond discovery of their local area to view movie trailers and reviews, buy movie tickets, click-to-call businesses, get directions, browse listing websites and read reviews and book dining reservations.

Poynt is available as a free download to users in Canada, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain and Australia for BlackBerry smartphones and for iPhone and iPod Touch, Android and Window Phone 7 devices from the respective App Stores.
