More3.2.3
August 21, 2022
This is the first update to Rockd since 2019. It reworks and modernizes the foundations of the app to set the stage for future development. Most functionality is the same, but internal data handling and storage have been simplified to provide a more stable user experience.
- Many bugs with state management and navigation have been addressed
- Functionality on newer devices (e.g., camera support) have been fixed
- Apple ID login has been added
The map system has been substantially improved for speed and expressiveness:
- A virtual globe and 3D terrain have been added, allowing new ways to explore the world’s geology atop its landscape.
- The map now makes maximal use of screen space on small devices
- The cache system has been totally replaced by a quicker and more standard implementation.
- Map code is now shared with Macrostrat’s web interface (https://macrostrat.org/map), allowing the quality of both to be improved.
WARNING: Due to changes to the internal storage framework of the app, unsynced checkins saved on the device are not retained through this update. Photos and other raw material should remain accessible, and it is possible, though tedious, to reconstruct lost data if needed. Please contact us (contact@rockd.org) if you are affected by this breaking change.
We thank Justin Janisch for his hard work to improve the app and are excited for many updates to come in the Version 3 series.
