PutInProof

PutInProof is a mobile app for kayakers and canoeists that reduces wasted trips by verifying whether a put-in/take-out is actually usable today. Users post quick “proof” updates: parking open/closed, gate status, construction, water level at the access, hazards near launch, and whether landowner signage has changed. Each report is time-stamped, geo-tagged, and scored for credibility based on a user reputation system and photo/video evidence. The app focuses on access logistics rather than route planning, because that’s where many trips fail in real life. It also supports offline caching of saved access points for poor-signal areas. Monetization is realistic: a freemium model with a small subscription for advanced filters (e.g., last-24h verified only) and an optional club/guide “team” plan for organizations managing frequent trips.
