## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.24 — 2026-01-07

This version of Rock Identifier AI comes with smarter identifications. Specifically:

We have also implemented additional transparency and feedback mechanism via: 
• New AI disclaimer clarifies that results are estimates and recommends expert consultation for valuable specimens
• Report an Error button - help us improve by flagging misidentifications directly from the app

Hardness, value & rarity estimates — useful for pricing finds or understanding geological significance
Build your personal rock museum — a GPS-tagged collection showing where each specimen was discovered
