IMPORTANT NOTE - DEVICES WITHOUT A COMPASS
From v2.18, we have made Solocator accessible for incompatible devices that do not have a compass. These devices are without a magnetometer (magnetic sensor), which means the compass and some direction features in the app won’t function as designed. However, when you change/update to a device with a compass, all directional features will be enabled to work as intended.
Recent changes:
- 3 x 3 grid overlay in camera view
- Yellow color text option
- Long date option added
- Added a settings button in the photo library
- Added new Cardinal capture mode.
- Option to rotate photo orientation in library edit if incorrectly captured.
- Added new flash, timer and camera direction buttons in the camera view.
- Added user-determined suffixes to the building capture mode with an option to only use Cardinal directions.
- Option to add a custom logo watermark to your photos
