Outcrop Review
Horrible app, little to no instructions, just a drawing tool for photos that is full of bugs.

What's New in Outcrop
1.1.5
February 12, 2018
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. This release provides bug fixes and some enhancements. The main enhancement makes use of the IOS 11 new Files App to facilitate exports of GOCAD model files. Files can now be exported directly to the Files App. This new option can be found in the Save interpretation popup. Additional enhancements have been made to the Image selector, to the labeling of boundaries in the Interpretation View, to the interpretation toolbar and to the process of measuring dimension of bodies. The main bug fix was about the display of facies pixmap.

FAQ
What geological features can be interpreted with Outcrop?
Outcrop allows users to interpret facies intervals, sedimentary structures, and boundaries directly on high-resolution outcrop images. You can also add annotations and measure the dimensions of geological features like channels and lobes.
How does Outcrop help with 3D geological modeling?
Once you define the image scale, Outcrop exports interpreted boundaries, facies intervals, and dip/azimuth measurements in GOCAD format. This data can be used to construct a 3D geological model.
What devices is Outcrop compatible with?
Outcrop is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. It leverages the camera and GPS capabilities of these devices for field data collection.
What is the update frequency of Outcrop?
The latest version of Outcrop is 1.1.5, which was last updated on February 12, 2018. This indicates a less frequent update cycle for the application.
Does Outcrop have ads?
