Features & Capabilities

FieldMove Clino Features:

FieldMove Clino is a digital compass-clinometer for data capture on your iPhone, designed for simplicity in the field, and optimized to use the device’s GPS location and orientation sensors. This geology app will allow you to use your phone as a traditional hand-held bearing compass as well as a digital compass-clinometer for measuring and capturing the orientation of planar and linear features in the field. FieldMove Clino allows you to quickly take large amounts of measurements, making your data set much more statistically valid. You can also capture and store georeferenced digital photographs and text notes.

As well as supporting online maps, FieldMove Clino also supports offline maps, so that you can import your own georeferenced basemaps and collect data while disconnected. Data can be exported as MOVE, CSV or KMZ files and then imported directly into FieldMove™, Move™ or other applications like Google Earth.

Additional features:

• Display geological data on an equal area or equal angle stereonet, allowing you to perform some basic statistical analysis in the field • Draw contacts, faults and outcrops on your chosen basemap to create a realistic geological map • A new expanded library of symbols for customisation of planar and linear features • KMZ export, view your data in Google Earth

FieldMove Clino is a Petroleum Experts geological field mapping app designed for forward thinking geologists utilising digital data collection.


  • The use of GPS devices and smartphones as navigation aids. *

Global Positioning System (GPS) devices are commonly used to aid navigation, having grown in popularity over the past decade. Over the last few years, this has extended to smartphones and digital compasses, which are often equipped with GPS functionality.

GPS is a valuable aid to navigation during fieldwork, although it is important to keep safety at the forefront, and we draw your attention to the advice given by a number of mountaineering councils:

“Everyone heading into the hills needs to learn how to read a map, and be able to navigate effectively with a paper map and traditional magnetic compass, especially in poor visibility”.

User Reviews

FieldMove Clino is a feature rich geologic mapping tool that excels for strikes/dips, photos, notes, and GPS tagged data, with strong export options and stereonet support. The main recurring concerns are stability and crashes, poor dark mode compatibility, accuracy issues in compass measurements, and occasional base map misalignment. Addressing these would improve reliability for field campaigns.
Pros
  • Comprehensive field mapping workflow with strike/dip measurements, notes, photos, and geotagged observations on a map.
  • Robust data export and backup options, including CSV and KMZ outputs and easy backups to email/Dropbox, with Google Earth compatibility.
  • Real-time stereonet functionality and integration of geologic symbols and metadata for fast interpretation in the field.
  • Widely valued in field campaigns as a primary mapping tool, with strong support for multiple observations and GPS tagging.
  • Geotagged images and notes integrated into the map, enhancing data management and sharing.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability, including crashes when exporting data, using the camera, or tapping map features.
  • Poor dark mode support with white text on light backgrounds and display issues on some devices.
  • Compass calibration and strike/dip accuracy can be off by several degrees compared with Brunton/GeoID.
  • Base-map imagery alignment and quality can be off, making precise mapping more difficult.

All I want is an app that takes strike and dips and saves them with the location info. Why do I need to add a comment to every SND to save it? Why? Why do YOU require this. Just let me Not do that. Also why does it stop the strike and dip measurement when you comment???? This app is so deeply useless I hate it to my core. Seriously, have you attempted to use this?

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
