IronSpot gets a
fresh look

Why this redesign

A community app is built with its community, not next to it. Your feedback — what was confusing, what was missing, what took too many taps — directly guided this project. The goal wasn't to change things for the sake of it, but to make the features you use most reachable in a single tap.

What actually
changed

Here's what the app looks like today:

The new IronSpot interface

• 🧭
  A bottom navigation bar — favorites, performance, packs, and support are now one tap away, directly from the map.
• 👤
  A redesigned profile — your stats, badges, and points now live in one place, with direct access from the top of the screen.
• 🐺
  Post to multiple packs at once — no more re-posting the same message pack by pack to reach several communities.
• 🎬
  A guided tour to discover the new interface on first launch — or revisit it anytime from settings.

Points & badges

Adding a spot, confirming it exists, sharing a session: these are the actions, repeated by hundreds of users, that make the map reliable. A new badge system finally puts that contribution front and center.

Each badge progresses through tiers, from bronze to legend. A small nod to a habit that benefits everyone.

Thank you to our
contributors

IronSpot started with a handful of spots. That's no longer the case today — and that's not on us, it's on you. Spot after spot, confirmation after confirmation, the map has grown well beyond its starting point, into entire regions and, now, abroad.

Every pin on the map represents someone who took the time to check a location, take a photo, confirm that others could train there safely. It's collective, mostly invisible work — and it's what makes the app genuinely useful.
