Use the new map search feature to quickly find locations without having to leave the map.

* Sticky Toolbar
Navigating the app just got smoother and faster! Our new sticky toolbar stays in place while you scroll, making it easier than ever to switch between sections. Enjoy a cleaner look and a better user experience!

** 6 new languages
By popular request, we've been working hard to make the app available in 6 additional languages: French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Polish. This is another step toward making our content more accessible and ensuring the best possible experience for everyone. You can set the language in the app settings.

** 170,000+ users
The community keeps growing. Thank you for being part of this journey!

* Group by Spot & Order by
In some locations or countries, a single popular spot can dominate the results, making it harder to discover other great places. Now, you can group photos by spot to see only unique spots and sort them by popularity or newest first.

* 60,000+ content improvements
We've surpassed 60,000 manual spot content updates to further enhance spot quality. Every edit helps making the platform more accurate and inspiring for your photography adventures. Thank you for your reports and suggestions, as we are committed to improving the content on a daily basis.

I know it's easier said than done, but I really care that you are satisfied with Locationscout. Any kind of direct feedback, a quick app store rating, or a Premium membership helps me as a solo developer to further improve and maintain this platform for you.

* Image Zoom
By popular request from the community: You can now zoom into images in the spot slider to explore every detail. Higher resolution loads only when you zoom, saving bandwidth while enhancing quality.

* Long press to Bookmark
You can now long press on a spot image in the grid to bookmark it to a board. This is an even faster way to save spots you like for later.

Quality is one of our highest priorities, and it’s why Mia (our working student), Yvonne (my wife), and I dedicate hours every week to improving the content for you. We’ve now made around 57,000 manual enhancements to make your experience even better! In this update, I also introduced two new labels: one marks images with artistic edits that could set different expectations and the other flags photos where the geo-position couldn’t be fully verified.

All settings are now linked to your device account. This allows different users on the same device to have personalized language settings, dark mode preferences, and more. You can access the settings in the top right corner of the Explore page.
