It does the job fairly well but it has problems
It does not work with dark mode which hurts in the field because you drain your phone battery faster when using light mode, and it occasionally has a bad reading and gets stuck that way when doing S/D measurements. This can result in a wacky misunderstanding of the structural features in an area so it is best to keep a brunton compass on you and double check periodically. Otherwise, it’s a solid app!

Pick list invisible- dark mode issue
Unable to see the pick list with iphone being in dark mode. All text appears black, same as menu background
Can see words in dark mode
best geo app by far. will give 5 stars will they fix the dark mode issue
Continuing support
A big thanks to petrel first continuing to update this excellent tool!
Dark model makes strike/dips invisible
Please fix the live strike/dip dark mode problem of showing the data as white text on a white background. Also can you make sure the app fills the screen on a iPhone X and iPhone 11 plus? It makes you look a little amateurish when the app doesn’t fill the whole screen and there’s black bars on the top and bottom.

Great concept
I love it but it needs to request permissions to use the camera. Without requesting it just causes the app to crash.
Is there a pro version?

Crashes when trying to take picture
Great app minus the crash bug when trying to take a photo running the app on iOS 12.3.1
Camera link bug
Good app. Bug shuts down app when trying to take a picture
Excellent tool for being geology into the 21st century
I have used this tool for two years now doing geologic mapping for my master’s thesis and it has been an invaluable tool. The only issue I have is that the image function in the notes section causes the app to crash every time. It would be fantastic to see this fixed, as that would enable me to use this app as my primary tool. Additionally, if there could be a tracking section added to the maps portion, it would be quite easy to map large swaths of rock simply by walking the contacts!

Using it for masters project, but crashing sometimes
There are so many things I love about this app. It’s now my primary mapping tool for everything: strikes and dips, faults, slickensides, notes, geotagged images, annotating the map.
Last field season it worked a little smoother, so I’m wondering if there’s some bugs with new iPhone update...
Some actions that cause Clino to crash:
- trying to take a picture from within the app using the “camera” icon.
- I can make a note and upload “existing picture” (it’s an extra step) but “new picture” crashes again.
- clicking on a line in map view
It would be great to upload a better base map. I’ve been switching between Gaia and Google Earth to see if the location is correct. It’s sometimes 10-20 feet off, which is an issue. Even if the imagery isn’t great, it’s be nice to be able to zoom in closer for fat-fingered drawing.
Other than that, this app is great. I’m grateful that the S/D symbols show up in google earth along with meta data and stratigraphic units. Makes my data management so much easier.
