The extremely popular BlackBerry application Poynt has yet again received an update bringing a couple of new features to the table. Lately we have seen them expanding around the world and adding new features, and this update to version 1.8.6 doesn't fall short. Poynt has done a nice job of not only rolling out new features to specific areas, but continuing to expand the areas they support as well. They have added the following changes in this build.
- WhatGas(UK): timestamp on updated prices now representated by elapsed time instead of date.
- Table booking functionality for France and Spain
- Gas prices now available in Canada
- Offers integrated into Restaurant Section
- Online menus and food ordering - US only.
