13.4.0
2026-06-23
• Introduced a multi-notes option so you and other samplers are no longer limited to a single note in sampling plans and agronomy samples (soil core and carbon samples coming soon).
• Redesigned map layers and tools menus with a new on-map field legend for easier navigation.
• Added an in-app Airplane Mode so you can work offline in the app itself but stay connected in other apps.
• Fixed photo capture and upload issues that could cause lag, data loss, or stuck retries.
• Resolved map marker rendering glitches and unintended taps during zoom.
• Added ESM sampling guidance including depth reminders, SOP info, and probe-type color coding.
• Improved overall stability for equipment data, form submission, and sign-in sessions.
13.3.0
2026-06-05
- Clearer sample labels (external-lab plans). For sampling plans that use sample-specific barcodes, each sample and soil-core segment now shows its printed label ID prominently, with a reminder before you scan so you always grab the right label.
- Smarter QR scanning (external-lab plans). On these labeled plans, the app accepts only the correct printed label and tells you exactly which label to scan if there's a mismatch — with a manual-entry fallback that lists everything you need to write on the bag.
- Plan documents. View sample-label and manifest PDFs for your plans, and export them to email, Files, or other apps via the share sheet.
- Sync progress banner. A new banner shows when your offline work is uploading, what's currently syncing, and when the upload is complete.
- Field contacts. Quickly find and call or email the point of contact for a field.
- Update reminders. A gentle banner lets you know when a newer version of the app is available.
- Reliability improvements. Hardened offline data handling so completed work is reliably saved and synced, plus a range of stability fixes.
