Field notes
The guide walks through setup before entering the field, including checking the APK and allowing precise location if coordinate stamps are wanted. It describes stamp choices at roughly 100 metres or 1 kilometre, as well as an unstamped option. A second code can open a guest album; the guide warns that forgetting the main code leaves the vault unrecoverable. The site also says the app has not been audited.
