I personally like Poynt. I tried WHERE and it glitched on me. i like the movie feature on it. it allows you to look up movies by name, location or theatres near you. it shows you movie times and you could also watch the movie trailers. I dont have the GPS option on my phone cause i have a GPS in my car, however if i did have that option on my phone it would make it that much better. try it out. if you dont like it just delete it. hope you enjoy.
I also like Poynt. Once you locate a restaurant, movie, etc, you can call there directly from the menu. It has helped to get me there so many times. I call and have someone "talk me in" LOL
I agree with everyone above, Poynt is the best. I tried Where once and it just wasn't very good to me, it didn't last long. Poynt does everything I expect it to, and does a great job doing it.
I'm a big fan of POYNT, its very easy to use, fast, and the customer service is unbelieveable. I had a complaint about a listing and emailed them, they responded the very next day with a personal email (not a generic template) and explained the problem and solution. Great app with great people supporting it.
I have both installed. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. I find that I use Where more than Poynt because Where is faster(on my Tour) and Where almost always gets a GPS lock on my location. Poynt defaults to closest cell tower most of the time.

Thats odd, between the time I open Poynt and the time I have entered a search, it has located my GPS location. Thats one of the reasons I like Poynt more.
Poynt w/o a doubt. I did a search of restaurants near me with both apps. Poynt was spot on, while Where came up with several that had been closed for years.

There's no doubt that Poynt is a much better design than Where and I have beeing Poynt all the time untile I downloaded Life In Pocket a month ago.
The locall search and UI is slighly better than Poynt with more features but what most important to me is it has voice GPS navigation to take you there by single click and it's free too.
hmm if I recall LifeInPocket takes about 20 clicks to get the voice navigation started. It's clunkier than ****, IMHO.
Actually, you're totally wrong on two points. First, let's suppose I want the nearest chinese restaurant.
click GPS > scroll to "nearby restaurants" > "enter restaurant type: > TYPE IN the word Chinese > Menu button > Save > click on "chinese" > wait for "scanning satellites," scroll down to restaurant I want > Scroll down to "take me there" > wait for "scanning satellites" again > Accept User agreement > *Done*
Hardly, HARDLY "one click."
Now, if I want to type in a friend's address to get Nav help there:
Click NAV > click "Enter Address" > Type in Address > Type in City > Type in State > Menu Button > "Use Once" (If I want to put it in an address book there's like 3 more steps) > Menu Button > Continue > Take Me There > Wait for "scanning satellites > Accept user agreement > *DONE*
