GEARGROVE PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)
One lifetime unlock for advanced analytics, condition tracking, lending management, purchase planning, and kit organization.

LENS COVERAGE ANALYSIS
Visualize focal length and aperture coverage with interactive charts. Spot gaps before your next purchase and get intelligent fill recommendations.

WARRANTY TRACKING
Automatic alerts for warranties expiring within 30 days across every piece of gear. All end dates tracked in one convenient view.

GEAR VALUE TRACKING
Monitor your full photography investment across currencies. Track purchase prices and insured values for complete insurance documentation.

CONDITION TRACKING
Flag lenses with fungus and cameras with issues so nothing gets overlooked. Track original packaging status — essential for resale value and collection completeness.

LENDING TRACKER
Log who has your gear and when. A dedicated Lent Out screen shows all borrowed items with a day counter that turns orange after 30 days. Swipe to mark as returned.

WISHLIST
Track gear you plan to buy with target prices, priorities, and use cases. Pick from the built-in database to auto-fill specs. When you make a purchase, mark the item as bought and it moves straight into your inventory — no double entry.

GEAR KITS
Group lenses and cameras into named kits for any shooting scenario: travel, weddings, wildlife, and more. See at a glance which items in each kit are available and which are currently lent out.

CSV EXPORT & IMPORT
Complete backups in universal CSV format: specs, ratings, warranties, condition, lending history, and notes. Import with automatic duplicate detection. Separate files per category for clean data management.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.1 — 2026-08-07

Fixed a crash that could happen when editing a zoom lens's focal length
Fixed multi-line notes breaking CSV backup/restore — line breaks in notes now import correctly
Lent-out reminders no longer repeat daily after the first notice — one nudge per loan, as intended
Warranty countdown now always shows the correct number of days remaining
Fixed wishlist zoom lenses saving with the wrong maximum aperture when marked as purchased
Kit save & delete now show an error if something goes wrong, instead of failing silently

### 2.2.0 — 2026-06-12

New: lent-out reminders — get a notification when gear has been on loan for 30 days, so nothing is forgotten
New: built-in backup restore — if the database ever fails to open, GearGrove now keeps your data safe and offers one-tap recovery
Smarter CSV import: invalid dates and negative numbers are caught and listed in the import report instead of slipping in silently
ZIP backups are now integrity-checked on restore, so a damaged file can never corrupt your inventory
Warranty filters fixed: "Active" and "Expiring Soon" no longer overlap
Restore Purchases now clearly distinguishes connection problems from missing purchases

### 2.1.1 — 2026-06-01

Better flash compatibility:

Multi-system flashes from Godox, Profoto, Nissin, Yongnuo and Neewer now show every camera shoe they're sold in — Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm and Micro Four Thirds.
Filter the built-in flash catalog by your camera's shoe to see only the flashes that fit.
Adding a multi-shoe flash now lets you pick your exact version, plus a new "None" option for off-camera and receiver-only gear.

### 2.1 — 2026-05-31

Bigger catalogs, sharper data.

• Expanded catalogs: 350+ lenses, 95+ cameras, 45+ flashes
• New bodies: Sony a7R VI & a7 V, Canon EOS R1 & R6 V, Nikon Z5 II, Fujifilm GFX100RF, Sigma BF, and more
• Added Canon RF-S lenses (new RF-S mount) plus the latest RF, Z and FE glass
• New Godox flashes: V100, iT32 and the X3 Pro trigger
• Accuracy pass: corrected filter (objective) diameters and release years across the whole catalog

### 2.0.1 — 2026-05-04

Quick way to rate GearGrove right from inside the app — a new "Rate on the App Store" button in About. Plus a small batch of polish and stability improvements.
Thanks for using GearGrove!
