Detector Maps is the field tool that keeps you on the gold. Built by geologists for real prospectors and metal detectorists across Australia, the United States, New Zealand and Canada, it pairs advanced geological data with rock-solid GPS so you spend your time on high-potential ground, not guessing. Whether you are swinging a metal detector for gold, panning a creek or hiking into remote country, it puts serious geological intelligence in your pocket - and it works offline, where the gold actually is. Gold detecting is metal detecting, so the same tools help any detectorist work smarter. DATA LAYERS (where available) - Surface geochemistry with built-in filtering to target the right pathfinder elements - Historic gold mines and workings - detect where gold has already been found - Current and expired mining leases and claims, updated every weekday, so you know where you stand - 1-met…
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 9 screenshots above are Detector Maps's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Detector Maps runs a dark set with one background colour (#040404) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #243C54, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
