Poynt CEO says "We are continuing to operate, grow and develop. Nothing really has changed."

Earlier this month, Poynt issued a press release stating that they had filed under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. While it was easy to misread the release itself, many (CB included) understood the information to mean Poynt was filing for bankruptcy -- this thankfully isn't the case. Poynt is the same as it ever was and won't be disappearing any time soon.  Yesterday I had a chance to...

Poynt Corporation files for bankruptcy

Posted by Adam Zeis on 6 Jul 2012 2:46 pm
One of our long-time favorite apps may be no more. Poynt Corporation has officially filed a Notice of Intention under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. At last check, Poynt seemed to be going strong so we're not really sure when things took a turn for the worse. It's definitely sad to see Poynt in this position. From the press release: The Company is not currently in a position to...

Ryan's most-used BlackBerry Apps of 2011

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 30 Dec 2011 9:09 am
Year after year, I can honestly say I install more than my fair share with applications. Between beta testing, reviews and my own curiosity, I’m surprised that any of my BlackBerry smartphones haven’t screamed “Enough!”. With that in mind, I try to keep my BlackBerry smartphone as clean as possible. If I don’t use an application frequently, it’s uninstalled. For the few I do hold onto, I don’...

Though not a huge jump in version number (v1.8.1 to v1.8.3), there are a few notable additions to the application. The first is the option of opting out of the Child Search feature.

Every year over 300,000 children are abducted in Canada and the US. This statistic is both heartbreaking and frightening, especially if you're a parent. It's always nice to see developers of popular applications updating their apps for the better good of the world, and this is one of those occasions. Poynt announced yesterday that they have joined with the Missing Children Society of Canada (...
