CheckPoints LLC today launches its CheckPoints app on the Android Market. The fastest growing mobile shopping application on the iPhone App Store, CheckPoints now offers Android users real rewards for scanning consumer product barcodes, with no purchase necessary.
Free to download and use, CheckPoints lets shoppers earn points by “checking in” to over a million U.S. retail locations and scanning barcodes on featured products from major brands, including Belkin®, Energizer®, Seventh Generation®, Tyson Foods®, Kmart and more. Points are instantly redeemable for real-world prizes like gift cards, gadgets, and airline miles.
“CheckPoints is the first rewards app to provide mainstream consumers real value,” said Mark DiPaola, CEO and cofounder. “We’ve attracted a dedicated group of young professionals and families that are looking for a way to stretch their budgets further this holiday season. This isn’t a fad for them – this is about dollars and cents.” CheckPoints users are predominantly female, and 64% are between the ages of 25 and 44.
CheckPoints’ arrival in the Android Market comes on the heels of its breakout consumer success this fall. Launched with an initial founders’ investment round, the app already has over 200,000 users – 100,000 of whom joined in just the last two weeks. CheckPoints users have proven highly engaged, using the app almost three times a day, and scanning featured products in stores hundreds of thousands of times.
“From the moment we debuted in the Apple App Store, we’ve had requests to expand to the Android Market – in fact, we’ve got a waiting list of over 10,000 people,” said Todd Dipaola, cofounder and President. “Android users are enthusiastic about finding new and unique uses for their phones, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to the CheckPoints family.”
The CheckPoints application can be downloaded for free from the Android Market here.

Over the past two years, developers around the world have helped make Android Market the go-to place for more than 100,000 apps, games and widgets. Previously, you could only access Android Market directly from your device, but today, we are introducing the Android Market website that lets you browse and search for great apps right from your web browser.
The website makes it easy to discover great new apps with a bigger, brighter interface. You can also send apps directly to your Android device with just a few clicks—no wires needed. We’ve built in new social features, too. You can share apps with your friends through Twitter. And you can read and post app reviews directly to Android Market from the web or from your device.
And what about all those apps you’ve already purchased and downloaded? Sign in to the website with your Google account and click “My Market Account” to see all the apps you’ve purchased or downloaded. It makes managing all your apps quite easy.
The Android Market website was officially unveiled today during an event at Google headquarters where we showcased Honeycomb (Android 3.0), our latest Android release built from the ground up for tablets. Honeycomb has a completely redesigned user interface, with more interactive notifications and widgets, improved multi-tasking, and the latest and greatest Google Mobile services optimized for tablets. We also showed off pre-release applications optimized for Honeycomb, from over 17 developers including:
AccuWeather
CNN
Disney Mobile
The Economist
Fuze box
Glu Mobile
Google Body
Grocery iQ
Intuit
Ngmoco
Pulse News
Quickoffice
Time Magazine
TouchType

Stay tuned for more at Mobile World Congress (February 14) in Barcelona where you’ll see more than 50 developers demoing their latest phone and tablet apps at the Android booth in Hall 8.
