  4. Search houses: type part of a name, street, locality or note.

  6. Sort by: put the list in order by Recently updated, Best score or Lowest price.
  7. The house list. It says how many houses are shown. Choose a house to open it.
  8. Add house starts adding a house. Show all moves the map so you can see every house.
  9. Zoom in, Zoom out and Show my location.
  10. The colour key: blue is New, green is Shortlisted, red is Rejected, amber is Taken and grey is Not chosen.

On a phone, the same page puts the map above the list. The menu moves to a bar at the bottom: Map, Compare and Your data. Connect is inside Your data.

The Doorprints website on a phone: the map with its zoom and location buttons and the legend in its corner, a row of buttons under the map starting with Add house, the counts, and the bottom bar with Map, Compare and Your data

Android

The Android app's Map tab on an emulator, numbered 1 to 7: Hunt mode card, zoom buttons, my location, Save house here, legend, map credits and the bottom bar

  1. Hunt mode: turn it on while you are out looking (see Hunt mode).
  2. Zoom in and Zoom out.
  3. My location.
  4. Save house here saves a house at the spot where you are standing. You can also press and hold the map anywhere.
  5. The colour key: New, Shortlisted, Rejected, Taken, Not chosen.
  6. Map credits (who made the map).
  7. The tabs: Map, Houses, Compare and Settings. An Assistant tab shows once you turn on AI features, through your server or with your own key for the AI provider you chose.

This picture was taken by an automatic test on a pretend phone on a computer. That pretend phone does not show place names. On a real phone, the map has place names and shows your houses as coloured pins, like the website's map.

The Houses tab is the list:

The Android Houses tab with a search box, the status chips All, New, Shortlisted and Rejected, Sort: Recent, and two sample houses

iPhone

The iPhone app is an early version. It opens on the Map, which works as on Android:

  • tap Save house here to add a house where you stand;
  • or touch and hold the map to add a house anywhere.

The tabs are Map, Houses, Compare and Settings. It has Hunt mode, offline areas, Save a copy (every format but PDF, through the share sheet or Files) and Import a backup (from Files, or a file another app opens in Doorprints). It cannot add photos yet. To see the houses you added on other devices, import a backup from them or connect your own server in Settings.

The iPhone app's Map: India with city names, the zoom and My location buttons, Save house here, the legend (New, Shortlisted, Rejected) and the four tabs

Take the tour (Android and iPhone)

The first time you open the Map, a card offers Take the tour: a short walk through every part of the app, one step at a time, over the real screens. Each step dims the screen, leaves one control bright (such as Save house here, Hunt mode, Have I been here?, the search box, Compare, Criteria, Save a copy or Help) and says what it is for and what to try. You can use the bright control right away, then choose Next. Back goes to the step before, and Skip tour (or the phone's Back) leaves at any point. Steps for things your phone does not have, such as the weekly backup on an iPhone, are left out. To see the tour again, open Settings, go to About and choose Take the tour, just under Help.
