Field notes
The page says Fold can open local geospatial files, work in their coordinate systems, and export vector PDFs with labels and credits. It also describes offline basemap saving and support for QGIS layer styles. The Find Sites panel is an illustration, and its values are explicitly examples rather than live results; the app is listed as coming soon to the Mac App Store.
