Stability & Battery Fixed an issue where Sonidata could show hours of Screen Time even when you weren't using the app. The audio engine now properly shuts down when you're not recording or monitoring. Completely rebuilt our database recovery system. If your phone battery dies while capturing a long take, or the device unexpectedly reboots, Sonidata now safely preserves your library instead of resetting it. Automatic rolling backups ensure your metadata is never lost. Resolved an issue where force-quitting the app during an active session could leave a ghost recording timer frozen on your lock screen for hours. Audio & Recording Recordings in Mono, Dual Mono, and M/S modes now include an automatic +3 dB digital gain boost to match the volume of True Stereo recordings. This applies to both the recorded audio file and the level meter, closing the gap between iOS-processed audio and raw microphone signal. The digital gain slider now works correctly on first launch. Desktop Companion The Sonidata Embed popup now highlights Embed v1.3.0: non-destructive output, smart ZIP auto-detect, and the new Library Organizer. A What's New section now appears after every update so you always know about the latest desktop features. Metadata Added altitude to recording metadata. Your elevation is now captured alongside GPS coordinates and included in CSV exports and Soundminer-compatible fields. Questions or feedback? Reach us at sonidata.info@gmail.com

Stability & Battery Fixed an issue where Sonidata could show hours of Screen Time even when you weren't using the app. The audio engine now properly shuts down when you're not recording or monitoring, so the app no longer keeps running silently in the background. Improved database resilience: if the internal database is corrupted after a system update, Sonidata now automatically recovers instead of crashing on every launch. Audio & Recording Recordings in Mono, Dual Mono, and M/S modes now include an automatic +3 dB level boost to match the volume of True Stereo recordings. This compensates for the difference between iOS-processed audio and raw microphone signal. The digital gain slider now works correctly on first launch. Previously, new users could experience silent recordings until they adjusted the gain manually. Siri & Shortcuts New voice commands: "Open my Sonidata Library" and "Open Sonidata Map" let you navigate hands-free. You can also ask "How many recordings do I have?" to get a quick count and total duration. Desktop Companion The Sonidata Embed popup now appears after every app update with a What's New section, so you always know about the latest desktop features. Updated to highlight Embed v1.3.0: non-destructive output, smart ZIP auto-detect, and the new Library Organizer. Metadata Added altitude to recording metadata. Your elevation is now captured alongside GPS coordinates and included in CSV exports and Soundminer-compatible fields. Questions or feedback? Reach us at sonidata.info@gmail.com
