What a year’s start! After a very packed December publishing all the QGIS on the road videos<\/a> and quietly releasing QField 1.3 – Ben Nevis<\/strong> we could have gone and relaxed over the holidays. But since we love QField so much we immediately started working on the next iteration. Now, after an intensive testing period, we are proud to announce the release of QField 1.4 – Olavtoppen<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olavtoppen!? yes, the highest point of Bouvet Island, the remotest island on Earth. And sure enough, QField would follow you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, get it on play store<\/a> or download it from GitHub.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

QField Crowdfunding Campaign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before digging into all the new goodness that you will find in QField 1.4, let’s get a big “Thanks” out to everybody who supported our crowdfunding campaign for improved camera support<\/strong> and all our customers<\/strong> that agreed to open source the work we did for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like QField, want a new feature or would like to support the project, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usability enhancements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In QField 1.2 we started to improve on the usability of the user interface. We are constantly working on this with a usability expert to get the user interface to be even more appealing and user-friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides lots of clean-up and polishing, QField received two major improvements, a portrait mode and a new welcome screen with recent projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome screen with recent projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

QField is all about efficiency. While favourites folders in the file selector already give a great productivity boost, very often we work with the same 3-4 projects. This is why we redesigned the welcome screen to list the last five project used. And if you look carefully you might get a hint of what will be coming soon…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portrait mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

QField now flawlessly works in portrait mode. We heard you say you needed a comfortable way to work in portrait mode, especially on smartphones. QField forms and button placements are now optimized to be easy to use with your thumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
