Pointy allows users with Dumbphones like the CAT S22 Flip and Qin F22 Pro to use just the keypad to select items on the screen and scroll through lists using the DPAD navigation buttons.
Pointy overlays a mouse pointer on the screen which can be moved around the screen using the DPAD direction buttons and any item on the screen can be selected using the DPAD center button.
You can also scroll through the items on the screen up and down or left and right, by moving the cursor to the bottom, top or left and right edges of the screen.
Up and down scrolling can also be done using the 2 and 8 buttons on the keypad.
Use 2 to scroll up and 8 to scroll down.
It allows the user of a dumbphone to just use the keypad like in traditional feature phones without having to resort to touching the screen.
