1. Location entry: When users open the app, they are prompted to enter their location, which can often be done manually or automatically through location services if they agree to share their GPS data.

2. Search & Filter: Users can search for specific record shops or products by entering keywords, artists or album names. Filters allow them to refine shops by categories, such as ‘synth-pop’ or ‘vinyl-only’ shops.

3. Interactive map view: The app provides an interactive map with nearby record shops as pins. Users can click on each pin to view shop details, such as the shop name, address, contact details and available products.

4. Shop profiles: Each shop in the app has a profile page with information such as opening hours, website links, product availability and sometimes even reviews or links to social media.

5. Directions and navigation: Once users have selected a shop, they can get directions directly from the app, which integrates with mapping tools such as Google Maps or Apple Maps to guide them there.

6. Affiliate & special offers: If the app is linked to an affiliate programme, certain shops can provide exclusive offers or discounts, encouraging users to visit and make purchases. This feature also helps shops increase their visibility and encourages purchases through the app.

This front-end user experience is designed to make finding and supporting local record shops easy and fun for music lovers.
