### 4/5 — Yes! So close to being the perfect all in one tool!

*2026-06-22*

I’ve sent a few bug reports and feature suggestions to the team, but even with those quirks, this app is incredibly useful. It offers way more convenience than any other combination of tools I've tried for field data collection. Highly recommend!

### 4/5 — Great work

*2026-03-08*

Location setting on and never succeed to activate GPS (other apps ok)
Earthquake and compass info ok.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please make sure GeoKit has full location permission enabled in your device settings, as GPS activation may not work properly without it. If the issue continues, please contact us at support@appflows.co and we’ll be happy to assist.

### 3/5 — Still complain for Privatyacht Location

*2025-12-31*

I keepposition danger outbound involviert Not Option to Negligee

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Could you please clarify what you mean by “position danger outbound”? We’d like to better understand your suggestion and improve GeoKit accordingly.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-10-30*

App locks up before fully configured. None of the “Contact” links work so can’t get help.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please update the app to the latest version, as this issue may already be resolved. If you still need assistance, please contact us at support@appflows.co and we’ll be happy to help.

## Frequently asked questions about GeoKit

### What geological measurements can GeoKit take?

GeoKit can measure strike and dip using your phone's sensors, and provides a digital clinometer for accurate slope angle measurements. It offers precise geological orientation data for field use.

### How does GeoKit track altitude?

GeoKit uses a barometric altimeter for real-time altitude readings based on atmospheric pressure. It also includes a GPS altitude fallback and supports elevation tracking for field surveys.

### Can I use GeoKit offline?

Yes, GeoKit is designed to be offline capable, allowing you to download maps and store data locally even in remote field locations without internet access. Cloud sync is available when you reconnect.

### What geological data can I export from GeoKit?

You can export your field data in several common GIS formats, including KML, GeoJSON, and CSV. This makes your data compatible with popular software like QGIS, ArcGIS, and Google Earth.

### Does GeoKit provide earthquake information?

Yes, GeoKit includes real-time USGS earthquake data displayed on an interactive seismic map. You can also opt-in for push notification alerts for earthquakes.

### What devices does GeoKit support?

GeoKit is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices, running on iOS. It was last updated on March 1, 2026, with version 1.4.

### What is the age rating for GeoKit?

GeoKit has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users. It is a free application with no in-app purchases or advertisements.

### How accurate is GeoKit's geological data?

GeoKit utilizes your device's sensors for measurements like strike, dip, and slope angles, aiming for accuracy in field conditions. The barometric altimeter provides real-time elevation data.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-08-11

A NEW LOOK: Every screen has been rebuilt around a calm, focused design:
crisp typography, less clutter, and your data front and centre.

LIGHT MODE: New Light and Dark themes (Settings › Appearance). Light mode
makes the screen far easier to read in bright sunlight out in the field.
Defaults to Dark; choose System to follow your phone.

• SAME TOOLS, CLEARER: Strike & dip compass, altimeter, field notebook,
structural analysis and earthquakes are all easier to read at a glance.
Marker types and quake magnitudes stay colour-coded where colour helps.

• SMOOTHER SAVING: Saving a strike & dip measurement now shows clear
progress, so you always know it's working.

### 1.6 — 2026-08-09

• When you lock a measurement, the compass now draws the actual strike line and dip-direction arrow, true-north referenced  so the graphic matches your numbers at a glance.
• Thanks to the geologists who field-tested GeoKit and wrote in. Plus minor fixes and polish.

### 1.5 — 2026-07-26

The compass, rebuilt — one-step strike & dip.

• ONE-STEP MEASUREMENT — Lay your phone flat on the rock surface in any
orientation. Strike, dip, and dip direction are captured together and
auto-lock when stable. No aligning, no two-step workflow.

• TRUE NORTH — Magnetic declination is now corrected automatically from your
GPS position using the World Magnetic Model — even offline. Look for the
green TRUE N badge.

• UTM COORDINATES — Prefer zone/easting/northing? Switch to UTM format in
Settings. Live GPS coordinates are now shown right on the measurement screen.

• CUSTOM MAP LAYERS — Add any WMS/WMTS or XYZ tile service (like your
national geological survey) from Map Layers → Add Custom Layer.

• BETTER EXPORT & BACKUP — Exports now include markers, field notes AND
strike & dip measurements together, with true-north data and photos.
Round-trip safe (GeoJSON/KML/CSV), reads Google Earth KML, and a new Field
Bundle packs everything — data and photos — into one restorable file. Choose
exactly what to export (by type and date range), and preview any import on a
map before it lands.

• PDF FIELD REPORT — Turn your fieldwork into a shareable, branded PDF: a
title & description you write, an auto-written summary, a numbered station
map on a real satellite basemap, a strike rose diagram, and every record with
its data and photos. Settings → Field Report (PDF).

• FIELD NOTEBOOK, REDESIGNED — A clean date-grouped journal of everything you
record. Tap any entry — markers, notes, strike & dip — for full details with
photos, then edit or delete it right there. Full editing for every entry type.

• STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS — See your structure at a glance. A new interactive
stereonet (equal-area), strike rose diagram, and dip histogram are computed
from your strike & dip measurements and fault markers, with live stats and a
tap-to-read pole tool. Field Notebook → chart icon.

• ACCOUNTS & BACKUP — Create a free account (email) to back up your field data
to the cloud and recover it if you reinstall or switch phones. Your work still
starts instantly as a guest — upgrade anytime from Settings → Account.

• FIXES — The black screen after saving a strike & dip measurement is gone.
Back button no longer hides under the status bar, location permission now
works correctly on iOS, better guidance on devices without a compass sensor,
and a new first-use tutorial.

Field-tested with feedback from working geologists — thank you to everyone
who wrote in. Keep it coming from Settings → Send Feedback.

### 1.4 — 2026-03-01

•	Added a Geological Compass & Clinometer to measure strike & dip using your phone’s sensors, plus a digital clinometer for quick slope readings.
	•	Introduced a Barometric Altimeter with real-time elevation from pressure data, including GPS fallback for more reliable field measurements.
	•	Improved overall accuracy and stability for geological orientation and altitude tracking.

### 1.3 — 2025-10-24

We’ve made GeoKit even more powerful for your next field expedition:

• KML Import & Export Support – Effortlessly share and back up your mapped data, routes, and waypoints.
• Bug Fixes & Performance Improvements – A smoother, more stable offline experience in extreme field conditions.

Whether you’re mapping faults, tracking samples, or analyzing volcanic terrain, GeoKit continues to be your all-in-one geology toolkit now faster and more reliable than ever.
