Pointerly
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pointerly is the affiliate operations platform for creators, brands, and affiliate teams. The iOS app is a free companion to your Pointerly workspace on the web. Sign in with the same email and password you use at pointerly.io to manage links, monitor performance, discover deals, and run automations—wherever you are. Changes sync with your team workspace in real time. Nothing is sold in the app: no plans, credits, subscriptions, or digital content. Deal Discovery opens physical products on the retailer’s own website (Amazon, Walmart, and others)—purchases happen there, never in the app. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Dashboard & Analytics View clicks, top links, and workspace usage from live data. WhatsApp and Telegram messaging quotas appear with your other meters. Each meter follows your plan’s billing period and shows the reset date. • Affiliate Links Search, sort, and manage your library in grid or list view. Create from a product URL, edit, copy, and share. Set a price on any link and it appears wherever you share it. Pin up to five links to the top of your library. Choose what a desktop visitor gets: the destination’s desktop app, a QR code so they can finish on their phone, or both. Phones are unaffected. • Folders & Bundles Browse folders and bundles and filter the library. A link lives in one folder; a bundle is one sendable URL with every product in it. Copy, share, or open any bundle in the app. • Import an Amazon List Paste a shoppable Amazon list URL, uncheck what you don’t want, and import. You get a tracked short link per product plus one shareable bundle. Duplicates are flagged. You can also share a list from the Amazon app. • Quick Access & Widgets Reopen a copied link from the tab bar dock. Pin up to three favorites. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show top links, shortcuts, and your last copied link. • Deal Discovery Browse curated deals from supported retailers and turn them into trackable affiliate links. Opening a deal goes to the retailer’s site. • Bio Pages Edit your link-in-bio page from Home or Account: profile, sections, colours, publish, and a live preview that matches the web. Add an affiliate link from your library into a page section. • Automation (Comment-to-DM & WhatsApp) One Automation tab for messaging. Manage Instagram and Facebook comment-to-DM rules, schedule when a rule turns on, and upload the card image. Write the DM yourself and place several destinations by name in the text — each row is a tracked Pointerly link or any https address you type. The link picker searches your whole library. With the WhatsApp add-on, connect a business number (Meta signup in Safari), manage subscribers and templates, and create broadcasts — including always-on campaigns that keep reaching people who subscribe later. The app does not sell WhatsApp credits. • Team Workspaces Switch between teams. Permissions follow the same granular roles as the web. • Account & Security Profile, two-factor authentication, and account deletion under Account → Account management → Delete account. REQUIREMENTS & BILLING • A Pointerly account is required (create it at pointerly.io). The app does not offer open registration. Sign-in is email and password only. • Nothing is sold in the app. Home and Billing may show your existing plan name, usage, and any pay-as-you-go amount already accrued — read-only status, like a carrier app showing data used. No Buy / Upgrade / Subscribe. On the United States App Store storefront only, you may open Safari to Stripe’s customer portal to manage payment methods for an existing customer (not to buy a new plan). • Optional WhatsApp features require the WhatsApp add-on on your Pointerly plan (managed on the web). The app only shows tools for workspaces that already have it. SUPPORT & LEGAL Learn more: pointerly.io Support: pointerly.io/support Privacy: pointerly.io/privacy Terms: pointerly.io/terms
