Pocket Points App

The pocket points app is a new mobile app that gives students rewards for not using their phones during class.

Pocket Points is a new app that might truly increase productivity in class.

The idea is simple: open the app while on campus and lock your phone. The time spent away from your phone builds in-app credits, which can be spent on discounts both locally and online. 

This simple yet creative way to give students an incentive to concentrate in class might be the one clear solution to combat college attention spans.

Local stores and restaurants that accept Pocket Points include Pita Pit, Which Wich, Blush, Crooked Crust, The Garage and Anabelle’s. Students can receive free drinks, breadsticks and sales with Pocket Points that would be otherwise unavailable.

The app is available in the iTunes App Store.
