FieldMove Clino

A big thanks to petrel first continuing to update this excellent tool!

Very useful on my mapping projects, localities can be applied and dip and dip direction are put where you are standing so you know where you measured the data. Room for improvement would be to update the map like google map/earth so we can zoom in more when mapping small scale projects. Could also be improved by being more accurate on the location. Also I know that you can draw the different rock types and their boundaries in the map which is very helpful but could also be useful if a doodle tool was created so we can doodle on the map.

Just back from a third year undergrad trip on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, used field move as a back up to my field notebook and in conjunction with a gps and by the end of the trip the note book was left in the bag. As somebody who struggles to keep a neat and tidy notebook this app is perfect it takes practically any measurement you can think of and you can link your measurements to photos taken in-app with picture orientation done automatically for you. Obviously don't sack in the notebook but do use this in conjunction with it. Maybe get a waterproof case for your phone too. But long gone are the days of staring at my notebook wondering what the hell I sketched in the freezing rain three weeks ago. Nice one MV

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!

best geo app by far. will give 5 stars will they fix the dark mode issue

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.

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!

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.

It's a great program that deserves more stars, but since the latest upgrade it keeps crashing every time I attempt to export the data. Meaning that all the work I did with this app is essentially lost! Please fix this so I can use this app and write a review that reflexes its merits.

Downloaded this before my geology capstone - revolutionized my field notes. It's so nice to have pictures and measurements all placed on the map. And very convenient to have a real time stereo net! Way worth the upgrade!
