Excited to report the release of Rockd Version 4, now with stratigraphic columns (beta, but still!)

This new phase of work was supported by the @AAPGFdn.

@EthanRockStory Rockd got its start as an @NSF CAREER education and outreach product!

[Rockd @RockdApp]

Enjoying Rockd? We really need community support to keep us rocking. Consider making a charitable donation to help the cause! https://t.co/EC63keYsmC

[Rockd @RockdApp]

@JustinGinHou That would be great! We would love to discuss past present and future of Rockd!

[Rockd @RockdApp]

@Paleowin We are aware that the App is currently not available on Android. We are working to push an update out soon.

Some big new updates to @UWMacrostrat's web map this morning (v4.1). Most excitingly, we have added a preview of structural line symbols, which make the map much more satisfying and expressive for structural geology! Very preliminary, but awesome. https://t.co/1eaI2j3KXq

@newimprovedtom Hmm…. Things seem ok on our end. Temporary ISP error?

[Rockd @RockdApp]

@johnburnhamshaw @BeardedGeology Powered by @UWMacrostrat. Check out the web apps there highlighting data on upper crust.

@TomSciMyt Thanks for letting us know. That was a strange one we hadn’t run into yet!

[Dr. Kim Hannula @stressrelated]

Sweet. I had intro students use this as part of weekly homework the last time I taught intro geology. It helped when everyone went home in March 2020 - students could connect to the geology no matter where they were, and give me enough context to answer questions.

A shoutout to @UWMadisonLS for creating the environment in which a project like @UWMacrostrat RockdApp can take root and be supported, all in keeping with the Wisconsin Idea @wisidea

[Rockd @RockdApp]

RockdApp v3 is finally out on the App stores! Major backend improvements spearheaded by @JustinJanisch and overhauled icon,geologic map interface by @davenquinn. A @shananpeters @UWMacrostrat group effort! Enjoy and keep rockin! https://t.co/KdUaAe6fvy

[Rockd @RockdApp]

@clasticdetritus Satellite and tilted 3D terrain view isn’t bad either! Two finger scrub up/down to get into oblique view. Magic thanks to @UWMacrostrat geologic maps and @Mapbox wizardry

[Rockd @RockdApp]

Also, try to get your checkins uploaded! Unsynced checkins aren't going to make it through this transition very well, unfortunately.

[Rockd @RockdApp]

Get excited (finally) for this new update!

[Daven Quinn @davenquinn]

As promised after our last shiny new update to the public face of @UWMacrostrat, here’s a sneak peak at the new version of @RockdApp that we just submitted to App Store review! It was a huge effort to keep this one moving forward, but it should be in everyone’s hands soon.

[Rockd @RockdApp]

Rockd users will be interested in our new web exploration platform for @UWMacrostrat, now live at https://t.co/xfGADqtGZd!

The (long-awaited) Rockd v3 update, although a good deal more complex, will follow down this path soon!

[Daven Quinn @davenquinn]

@UWMacrostrat has just released a huge update to our main geologic mapping web app, with long-awaited features like 3d terrain and a globe view! Check it out at https://t.co/rzMA0Uxw6I!

[Rockd @RockdApp]

@Zersorger @OutcropWizard @TSK_DGGV @IugsC If you haven’t exported your checkins and viewed them in google earth, DO IT NOW 😍 https://t.co/b8qi2C0WKs

[Rockd @RockdApp]

@Zersorger @OutcropWizard @TSK_DGGV @IugsC Also, with Rockd app, you are in control of your outcrops, not us. Make your own “trips” from your own and other checkins and share them, in google Earth or in the browser. https://t.co/HJ8N4al08u

[Rockd @RockdApp]

We are close to wrapping up and releasing a major update to rockd app. Better accessibility and backend components are the focus, but more updates to come!
