■ Version 5.4: Fixed photo quality and smaller exports ‣ Fixed: In version 5.3, Medium and Low could save full-size photos on some iPhones. New captures now follow the selected quality; photos already saved keep their size. ‣ Share smaller copies of a saved photo, selected points, or collections. Choose Full size, a longest-side limit, or Fit within file size; the saved photos stay unchanged. ‣ For points or collections, see the photo count and estimated total before sharing. Choose Stamped or Original for image exports; KMZ with editable drawings keeps full-size originals. ■ Also new in version 5.3 ■ Camera and Video ‣ In the viewfinder, tap the zoom readout to choose a lens, or drag it to zoom. ‣ Choose a 1-, 3-, 5-, or 10-second shutter delay for steadier captures. ‣ Lock focus, set it by hand, or save a focus position per lens, and let the camera remember your last lens and zoom. ‣ For clearer low-light photos, open Settings > Photo capture settings on the camera screen and enable Prioritize quality in low light; hold steady during capture. ‣ Assign taps or holds in Viewfinder controls to capture photos or start/stop video; set Double tap to Black screen to hide the viewfinder during recording. ‣ Record video even in complete darkness: in video mode, tap the flashlight button to turn on the Video light. To set its brightness from 25% to 100%, open Settings > Viewfinder controls on the camera screen. ‣ On iPadOS 26 and 27, significant viewfinder layout optimizations keep camera controls clear, accessible, and well positioned across portrait, landscape, and resized windows. ■ Video overlays ‣ Export individual overlays from your recorded videos for use in other video projects, including transparent clips for your video editor. ■ Video transcripts and captions ‣ On iOS 26 or later, transcribe videos on-device in supported languages, search spoken words and jump to matches, correct, copy, or share transcripts, import or export SRT subtitles, and show captions during replay or in stamped exports. ■ Points and photo records ‣ Everyday edits stay simple. In the point editor, open More and choose Advanced under View to compare point/photo values, resolve conflicts, and sync supported metadata.

In the point editor, open More and choose Advanced under View to compare point/photo values, resolve conflicts, and sync supported metadata.

■ Video recording, with location data built in ‣ Document inspections, surveys, sites, and observations with video that keeps its location data attached. When the work calls for movement, the same recorder is ready to capture the action without losing the field context. ‣ Need to preserve a specific detail? Take a location-aware photo while recording continues, then carry on with the survey. ‣ Open saved recordings from MENU > VIDEOS and return to the exact moment you need. If you missed or forgot to document an important place, use the photo shutter button during video replay to add that frame as a photo and point—with the location data from that moment. ‣ In replay, swipe to move quickly or slow down for frame-level precision, and see or change the active audio output. ◆ Choose the right microphone for every recording ‣ Choose Automatic, iPhone, Any external, Wired / USB, or Bluetooth for video. The camera shows the active source, falls back safely if it disconnects, and can notify you when the microphone changes. ‣ Monitor the live microphone in headphones and keep compatible music or podcasts playing. ◆ Export ‣ Share exactly what matters: export Full video or Selected range, then choose the untouched Original or a Stamped version with your chosen data overlays. ◆ Loop recording ‣ Use loop recording when only the latest part matters, and choose how much recent video to retain. ◆ Make every recording tell more of the story ‣ Add Map · QR-Code · Watermark · Speed · Pitch & Roll · G-Cross · Motion Quality · Video Diagnostics to give each recording the context your work, activity, or journey needs. ‣ Use Video Diagnostics to monitor frame rate, dropped frames, device thermal state, camera pressure, battery, and Low Power Mode during recording, replay, and stamped export—then refine mounting, airflow, power, or recording settings before heat or system load affects the result. ◆ Control the camera from Apple Watch ‣ Take photos, start or stop video, follow recording time, mute the microphone, and capture a still while video keeps recording—right from your wrist. ■ Keep the map around every point ‣ A map snapshot preserves the surroundings of each point for quick visual reference—even after you leave the place. ‣ To place a map directly on stamped photos, open MENU > Settings > Photo overlays and enable Map. ■ Bring back more detail when the light is poor ‣ When an inspection, site, label, or important detail is hiding in a dim interior or evening scene, Low Light Capture gives the back camera more time and prioritizes the iPhone’s best still-photo processing. ‣ Low-light photos can take a little longer, so hold the iPhone steady for the best result. If the scene or subject needs a faster capture, tap the moon to turn the feature off for the current camera session.

■ Improved toolbars for compact screens on iOS 26 ‣ Paint and selection tools now stay within easy reach on very narrow iPhone layouts and small iPad app windows. They move to the bottom toolbar instead of being tucked away in an overflow menu, making drawing, selecting, and applying changes faster on iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. ‣ Camera and preview actions now also have clear names when iOS 26 places them in the overflow menu, so Save, Notes, Drawing tools, Crop, Flash, Settings, and camera switching remain easy to find. ‣ Huge thanks to Ed for reporting the compact-screen toolbar issue and sharing screenshots. Don't miss the major version updates: ■ Draw More Freely ‣ Add double-headed arrows, dimension lines, and text labels to call out details more clearly. ‣ You’re no longer limited to 8 fixed colors. Choose your own stroke and fill colors to match your style and needs. ‣ Adjust stroke and fill transparency separately for clearer overlays. ■ Edit Drawings Later ‣ Starting with version 5.1, drawings are saved in photo metadata instead of being baked into the saved photo, so you can select, edit, or delete them later. ‣ Use the new arrow button in the paint toolbar to enter selection mode. ‣ Tap a drawing’s border to select it, then use the Style button to change stroke, fill, transparency, or colors. ‣ Use the Text button to attach text to a drawing or edit the attached text. ‣ The trash button in the paint toolbar now removes all drawings, letting you return to the photo without drawings. If the photo was cropped or resized, the result is the cropped or resized photo, not the original uncropped image. ■ Share and Restore More Reliably ‣ Photos can still be shared with drawings applied, with or without location and note stamps, just like before. ‣ KMZ export still supports the previous presentation-style option that exports photos with drawings applied. ‣ A new KMZ export option now includes both the rendered photo and the original image with drawing metadata, so imports can restore your drawings for later editing. ‣ Please note: this rework only applies to drawings created in version 5.1 and later. ■ Quality of Life Improvements ‣ The automatically resolved address shown in the camera viewfinder now displays a warning indicator when the address is stale or when address resolution failed. ‣ Fixed the HTML formatting warning shown in Google Earth for Mac and PC when opening exported photo popups. Loving the app? Your rating makes a huge difference. Please take a moment to leave one — it means the world to us!

• Fixed alignment of landscape photo preview on iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3. The top part could be hidden behind the navigation bar and required scrolling — now fixed. • Fixed photo capture screen not setting landscape orientation properly after a fresh app start on the latest iOS 15 version. • Improved iPadOS 16–26 multitasking compatibility for the camera (Split View / Stage Manager). ◆ Don’t miss the major changes from the previous version: ■ Trash for Deleted Photos & Points Accidentally deleted a photo? Now you can get it back. On your first delete, you'll be asked whether to enable Trash protection—or configure it anytime in Settings > Deletion & Trash Management. With Trash enabled, deleted items stay recoverable for 30 days before permanent removal. Access Trash from the collections filter in your points/photos list (MENU > Points) or in the settings.

Access Trash from the collections filter in your points/photos list (MENU > POINTS) or in the settings. ■ Redesigned Watch App Completely rebuilt watch companion app using Apple's latest technology for better performance and reliability. ■ Improved KML/KMZ Export Exported files now preserve original creation dates and last-modified timestamps, so re-importing your data keeps all date information intact. ■ Reworked Numeric Keyboard Dedicated numeric input keyboard (used for UTM, MGRS coordinates, etc.) now works properly and looks modern across all iOS versions 15-26. Fixed iPadOS 26 showing its own floating numeric pad alongside ours, and iOS 26 keyboard dismiss button losing proper placement after screen rotation.

• Added clickable map links to PDF reports and emails! You and your clients can now navigate to photo locations or view them in Apple Maps or Google Maps with a single tap. Configure in Settings > PDF & Email. • Fixed an issue where bottom toolbar buttons were difficult to see on iOS 26.1. • Fixed an issue where exporting multiple collections failed on smaller devices like iPhone 12 mini running iOS 26.

• Fixed search button not being shown in some cases in points list.

■ Updates and optimizations for iOS 26 and beyond: • Significantly faster camera startup. • Reworked toolbars for image annotation, collections list, and points list — ensuring a consistent user experience from iOS 15 through iOS 26. • Optimized photo stamping for higher speed and improved compatibility with iOS 15 and older devices (e.g., iPhone 6S). • Fixed an issue on older devices where the camera might not appear when opened from the Point Editor.

◆ Batch Export of Collections: Export multiple point/photo collections at once as a single KMZ file. ◆ Batch Enable/Disable Collections: Easily enable or disable several point/photo collections in one go. → To use: tap the new 'more' button (left of the '+' in the collections list), choose Select, pick collections, then choose an action from the bottom toolbar. ◉ The ability to enable or disable multiple collections at once helps you focus only on the points/photos relevant to your project. Multi-collection KMZ export is fully compatible with the Google Earth desktop app and can be used to back up all your collections and points if needed. 100% of the data is preserved when importing back into the app on another device. ◆ Enhanced KMZ Import: Now supports KMZ archives with multiple subfolders and multiple KML files. → Import via the 'more' button on the points/photos list or the 'Open In' system option on iPhone/iPad.

◆ New drawing tools for annotating photos: + Arrow, Rectangle, Circle, Cross pointer. + You can also adjust the line width. • We hope these additions give you even more control and precision in your annotations!

+ Crop, Resize, Tilt, and Rotate tool added. Its button is located to the right of the Stamp button in the image preview toolbar. + Overlay size for both location and notes can now be customized: small (current and default), medium (25% larger), or big (50% larger). You’ll find this in Settings > 'Location overlay' and 'Notes overlay'. + You can now restore app settings directly within the app. Settings > 'Settings: Backup, share, restore.' now includes a 'Restore' button, allowing you to open and apply previously saved settings without leaving the app. + Points and photos can now be imported from files directly within the app. Supported formats: KMZ, KML, GPX, CSV, and TXT. Use the ‘More’ button on the Points screen. + Default sort by date for points has also been moved to the ‘More’ button.

◆ Updated the World Magnetic Model for 2025–2029 to ensure accurate declination data between true north and magnetic north. Even if it’s hidden from view in the app, the World Magnetic Model (WMM) is used whenever you import photos or points that define only a true or magnetic direction. The missing counterpart (true or magnetic) is then calculated based on the WMM. Credit for the model goes to the United States’ National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the United Kingdom’s Defence Geographic Centre (DGC). NCEI and the British Geological Survey (BGS) jointly developed the WMM.

◆ Siri/Shortcuts Integration: • Launch the camera with note fields set via Siri or Shortcuts automation. • Simple command templates to open the camera with a title or note. • Advanced command template to open the camera with any or all note fields. • Leverage all Shortcuts app parameters, such as Clipboard, inputs from other apps, etc.

◆ More updates for iOS 18: • The search text for points, places, and addresses is now properly displayed in black on iOS 18 devices. • Fixed an issue where the new coordinates converter was not displayed in the point editor. This issue was not related to iOS 18 but was caused by the new development tools, affecting all devices from iOS 15 to 18.

◆ Optimizations for iOS 18. Supported versions of iOS are now 15-18.

◆ Added a new text input-based coordinates converter. You'll find it in several places: - MENU > Coordinates converter. - In the point editor, to the left of the Done button or in the Latitude/Longitude, UTM, MGRS rows. - On the map, in the map search > Coordinates. • The new coordinates converter also supports the OSGB and SK 42 coordinate systems, in addition to the current Latitude/Longitude, UTM, and MGRS formats. • This is part of our ongoing effort to bring support for the majority of EPSG coordinate systems to the app. We hope the new coordinates converter proves to be a useful tool. • Please let us know via a review or at support@blocoware.com if you'd like to see your preferred coordinate system added.

You can now change the color of buttons in the app. This should provide more options for improved visibility of buttons in bright sunlight and potentially assist in cases involving color vision deficiencies. Settings > Button colors.

◆ Customizable, pattern based file names for saving, sharing and exporting photos. Settings > Photo file name pattern: • Allows to set a file name pattern for a single file. • Batch file name pattern can be based on a single file name pattern or can be independent. • Supported pattern fields are photo title, note, address, folder/tags field name, folder/collection, coordinates, altitude, heading, capture date. • You can define date/time format for the capture date pattern field, number of leading zeroes in the batch file sequence number, whitespace handling. * If you decide to keep the default - photo title is used as a photo file name, as always. ◆ Following turn by turn navigation link options added to a QR-code stamp: Waze, Yandex.Navi, Yandex.Maps, Guru Maps. Settings > QR-code Stamp. ◆ Guru Maps added as a turn by turn navigation option for a navigation to a point.

A smaller release on a path to a bigger one. New options for PDF reports: • Content layout of 2x photo or 2x photo and text per PDF page. • Option for US Letter PDF page size. A4 stays the default option.

◆ Optimized for iOS 17. ◆ Removed support for iOS 12-14. Supported iOS versions are now 15, 16, 17. You can still install older app versions on the devices with older iOS versions.

◆ Now you can configure the automatic photo title that goes far beyond the timestamp. Combine collection name, timestamp, custom text and auto increment number in any way that suits best your work or project. Timestamp still stays as a default automatic photo title. ◆ When viewing saved photos, the app now remembers if your last view choice was the original photo or stamped. No need to switch to the stamped view everytime, your preference is now remembered. - If this breaks your current workflow anyhow, you can configure different viewing preferences. Settings > Viewing saved photos. ◆ When you open photo from the points list, the app now provides controls to navigate through the adjacent photos in the points list, without the need to return to the list. You can swipe through or use left/right arrows. ◆ Points list now shows a footer with help and description for the applied filter and sort order, so there is no confusion for what and why is shown in the list.

◆ Center cross size can be now customized. Settings > Other overlays. ◆ Watermark size can be now customized. Settings > Watermark. ◆ All of the app settings (excluding access protection) can be now saved or shared. Allows you to pick the right settings profile for the specific work or quickly onboard a new team member. Settings > Share your settings. ◆ Scanner section is added to the photo notes editor. Scanner allows to extract lines of text from QR, barcode or texts and assign them to the note fields. ◆ Added documentation pages for sharing the app settings and using scanner.

◆ Optimized for iOS 16.4. ◆ You can now re-apply comments from existing points/photos to fill all manual comment fields for the new photo, at once. Should give a productivity boost for re-inspections. It's a new bottom section in the comments editor screen. ◆ Removed full swipe delete gesture in the list of photos as it was causing unwanted deletes. Thank you for the feedback! You can still delete by swipe, but need to swipe and then tap on the delete button. ◆ Apple Watch companion app reworked and now only supports WatchOS 7 and higher (so even Watch Series 3 still stays supported). If you don't notice this re-write, it's a success :). ◆ Bug fixes and optimizations: ‣ Fixed the issue when audio notes for the waypoint would not be recorded on iOS 16.2 and iOS 16.3. Thanks to Wolfgang for reporting the issue. ‣ Fixed the rare issue when the app might take the photo on start unintentionally on iOS 16 (related to volume up/down changes in iOS 16). Thanks to Owen for reporting the issue. ‣ Fixed malformed file name for the jpg file to share from the Image Preview when image title is empty. Thanks to Paul for reporting the issue. Thank you for the ongoing feedback and trust!
