Pocket Points was once a popular student utility app (2014–2018) with verifiable historical traction involving millions of users and university partnerships. However, external verification confirms the project is currently inactive/out of business (removed from app stores, website login disabled). The submission is low-quality, failing to disclose the project's defunct status and making hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') without current metrics. The score acknowledges the valid historical concept but is heavily penalized for lack of current viability and poor response quality.
