Description

Rocklogger is a geological tool for measuring the orientation of rock outcrops. It uses the phone's compass and orientation sensors to measure dip & dip direction, or dip & strike, in a single click.
GPS and magnetic field information can also be saved, along with details on the rock plane & type.

Key features:
-Log dip & strike or dip & dip direction by placing the phone on the rock/plane in any orientation (using the rotating symbol and quick help features as guides).
-Android Wear companion app to view and save (paid only) live sensor readings from your phone remotely on your watch, and vice-versa. Alternatively, log remotely using a wired headset (paid only) as a remote control. Great for logging hard-to-reach surfaces
-Plot logs on a map, with correct dip/strike symbols
-Plot logs on alternate basemaps from various sources including MapBox, zip files and the web (paid only)
-Plot poles or planes from logs on a stereonet, and interpret by touching the plot to find trends and intersections (paid only)
-Define your own extra text and dropdown fields, to fit your logging scheme (paid only)
-Log the ambient magnetic field
-Launch the camera to take photos while logging. Notes and GPS data are saved to the log file. Photos are stored with the log file, and are automatically attached when you send a log via email from the browser screen

The log is saved to a .csv file, which can be sent to Excel / Mapinfo / etc for interpreting. Paid versions can also export KML files for use in Google Earth (Android or desktop version).

Taking the strike and dip of outcrops with a compass / declinometer usually takes a few minutes per rock. With Rocklogger, many measurements of an outcrop can be taken in seconds (in any orientation). It also works upside-down, eg for logging overhang in a mine.

The evaluation version is limited to saving 3 records per 3 minutes, and has the stereonet plotter, KML export and custom basemap features disabled. Rocklogger Unlocker is available for purchase to disable the evaluation version restrictions.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Good
4 ★nice for geologist
5 ★As a geologist, I was thrilled to find this app, turning my Droid2 into a quick electronic strike & dip measurement tool. I wouldn't recommend using any phone compass for professional measurements yet, but this app is great for making quick measurements that so far seem pretty good. The updates have been significant improvements that reflect good quality. Keep up the great work!!
5 ★This is a great tool for use in the field, and saves heaps of time on data processing back in the office. Especially like the feature to export to google maps and see stereonets in the field without all the old school time consuming plotting!
5 ★For measuring axial planes one should have the option to record the information at trend/plunge. Other than that this is an amazing app! Well Done!
1 ★Dip measurements are very precise, but azimuth or strike values differ a lot, hence cannot be used. The way you hold the phone (landscape vs portrait) seems to make a big difference. Tested on a Nexus S.
5 ★I wish I had this last week, when the client was spending too long under an unstable wall taking dodgy readings with a plastic Suunto. Oh, just a note to developers on the Quick Help. Help should tell us how to use the app. I think anyone who downloads this app would already know what dip and dip direction mean. Thanks.
4 ★Can't wait to get out and use this propertly. Though a few instructions would be good.
3 ★Had some problems
5 ★Excellent app... Helps a lot on field works.
5 ★I Just bought an android coz this stuff
5 ★I recently purchased a german made CLAR compass which measures Dip and Dip Direction. It cost $2700 AUD. Wish I had seen this app first! This app has very acceptable level of accuracy for my job (Geotechnical Engineer) and also has a very nice mode where you can plot your measurments on a satelite view of the area. Taking measurements is also many times faster than using a traditional geological comapss. This App is Really Impressive !!
