Plot&Find App

Plot&Find sits at the intersection of field mapping and discovery logging. At its core is an interactive map that supports two modes — standard road view and satellite imagery — letting you switch perspectives depending on what you need on the ground. You can drop individual pins with custom labels and icons, or trace freehand polygons directly on the map to define search zones. Named locations in the demo data include spots like Abbey Field, Hilltop Pasture, Forest Clearing, Old Mill Ruins, and Sunken Pier, giving a clear sense of the real-world contexts the app is built around.

Logging Finds and Tracking Progress

The Discoveries screen holds a searchable, filterable list of everything you've recorded. Each entry carries a name, category, location, date, and an optional quantity badge for multiple identical items. Categories span Coins, Jewelry, Military, Relics, Historical, Fishing Finds, and Other. A gold floating action button in the lower-right corner opens a new find entry. The Insights tab turns your logged data into readable analytics: a 2×2 stat grid, a donut chart breaking down your collection by category, a ranked list of most productive locations with horizontal progress bars, a six-month activity bar chart, a cumulative collection growth line chart, and a scrollable recent timeline.

Design and Interface

The app runs in dark mode throughout — near-black backgrounds, dark gray cards, white primary text, and gold/amber accents marking every active state, selected tab, and primary button. The marketing screenshots wrap this in an arctic visual theme: aurora borealis, falling snow, reflective ice surfaces, and 3D-rendered props like a compass, folded map, GPS unit, metal detector, and shovel. Navigation is a four-tab bar at the bottom — Map, Finds, Insights, Settings — with both icons and text labels on every tab.

One Honest Limitation

The zone-drawing feature requires tracing a freehand polygon directly on the map with no alternative input method shown. For users with motor impairments or tremors, this could be a real barrier — and the Settings screen currently shows no accessibility options to address it. The destructive data management actions (Remove All Locations, Reset Statistics, Delete All Data) are distinguished only by red coloring, which may not be sufficient for colorblind users despite having descriptive sublabels.

Plot&Find feels like a natural fit for anyone who's ever come home from a session with scattered notes and half-remembered GPS coordinates — it's a tidy, focused tool that puts the map, the log, and the stats in one dark-mode shell without demanding a cloud account.

A Visual Note on the App's Character

The promotional materials lean into a fishing and arctic aesthetic that goes beyond decoration. The app icon itself features a bright orange-red cartoon fish leaping from icy water beneath an aurora sky, and one of the banner screens shows a slot-machine-style spin wheel divided into segments — Lil Blues, Big Oranges, Huge Reds — with a faceted ice-blue diamond acting as the pointer and win amounts displayed on a frozen, cracking ice backdrop. It's an unexpected gamification layer wrapped in the same gold-and-dark-blue palette the rest of the app uses, and it adds a moment of visual surprise to what is otherwise a straightforward field-logging tool.
