displays local weather conditions and connects users to a five-day
weather forecast at the click of a button.
"Cricket identified Poynt as an app that provides additional
value to their users, whether at home or while traveling," said
Andrew Osis, CEO of Multiplied Media. "We are thrilled at the
chance to get Poynt in front of Cricket customers with this new
preload."
