The survey points app Pokean updated its Check-in feature on iOS on September 3, 2026. The map now shows how many points each spot awards as soon as it opens, so users can compare locations without tapping individual pins. The feature, available since November 2025, has been used more than 350,000 times. An Android version of the update is planned.
The change is aimed at a user base that is increasingly cost-conscious. Marketing Applications' June 2026 survey of 1,200 people nationwide found about 95% felt prices had risen over the past year, and 34.1% of those who changed how they buy food and daily goods said they had started actively using coupons and points.
The Check-in feature, which launched in November 2025, has been used more than 350,000 times cumulatively. The company says the map now displays each spot's point value as soon as it opens, so users can compare where to go without tapping pins first. The feature is patent pending under application number 2025-247581, and an Android version of the same UI is planned.
