==History==
Richardson realized the problem of smartphone abuse in classrooms as he was sitting in the back of a large lecture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://college.usatoday.com/2015/09/23/pocket-points-app/ )〕 The initial idea was to have professors reward their students with extra credit for not using their phones. 〔 After performing a number of focus groups they received negative feedback from professors. 〔 They found that professors did want their students more engaged, but didn't want the additional responsibility of monitoring their phone use. After doing research on student incentives, the two of them found that students were heavily motivated by food related discounts. This lead them to their current model: Rewarding students with discounted items at local businesses surrounding each campus. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/02/04/there-is-no-better-illustration-of-smartphone-addiction-than-this-app-that-pays-students-to-use-apps-less/ )〕
The iOS version of app launched at California State University, Chico in September 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.yahoo.com/tech/pocket-points-app-pays-college-students-to-pay-110071956779.html )〕 After an angel investment, the company expanded to an additional eleven schools in the Spring of 2015. Some of these schools included California State Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo and Pennsylvania State University. After securing seed funding, Pocket Points is available on both iOS and Android to students at over 200 schools in the United States and Canada. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://digitalmedia.strategyeye.com/article/rr7Ymy7gUw/2015/09/21/insight_top_5_investments_pocket_points_telepathic_bux_jaunt/ )〕
