ShotMap · Android

ShotMap Android public beta

Help build a map of photography spots. Follow the steps below to install and start testing.

1. Download the APK

   Use this official website and check the version below. Android 8.0 or later is required.

2. Allow installation from this source

   When Android asks, allow the browser or file manager used to open the APK to install unknown apps. You can turn this permission off after installation.

3. Install or update ShotMap

   Open the APK and follow the system instructions. Install updates over the existing app to keep local drafts. Uninstalling may remove drafts.

4. Sign in and contribute

   Use Google or verified email, accept the privacy policy and terms, then submit your avatar and nickname for review.

Ordinary APK installation does not require root, USB debugging or developer mode. If your phone shows an additional developer-verification requirement, follow the official instructions for that device and region. Do not disable Play Protect or other security protection.

On Android, sign in with Google or verified email. Email registration and password reset use a code valid for 10 minutes; check the junk folder if it is missing. No Google account is needed for email sign-in.

To use one ShotMap account across platforms, open account connections, verify both identities and confirm the displayed account name and ID. Accounts that both already have content are kept separate and are not automatically merged. Your public profile username is optional, uses 3–30 English letters or numbers, and changes only after approval; your display nickname remains separate.
