Straight answers
Before you start spotting
Does IronSpotter identify machines automatically?
No. You search the catalog, compare the visible evidence, and confirm the match yourself.
Does my photo become the sticker?
No. Your photo remains the private record of the sighting. The revealed sticker is editorial artwork already bundled with the app.
Does it work offline?
The core collection and field-guide experience works offline. A connection is needed for the initial purchase or purchase restoration and for opening web support or privacy pages.
How much is free?
You can collect 10 distinct machines for free. The remaining album uses one lifetime unlock, with no subscription and no ads.
Is IronSpotter affiliated with manufacturers?
No. IronSpotter is an independent reference and collecting app. Manufacturer and model names are used only to document real machines.
Your next machine is already out there.
IronSpotter is preparing for release on iOS and Android.
