New Features

Rapid-capture camera for quick photo dumps

What changed: A dedicated fast-capture camera mode lets inspectors snap photos without being forced to write a comment at the moment of capture — comments can be attached afterward.

Where to find it: Mobile app → open a report → open camera.

Reprocess a comment as a different type

What changed: If a comment was captured as the wrong type (defect vs. limitation vs. info), inspectors can now switch its type in place and have it re-matched against the correct comment library instead of deleting and recapturing.

Where to find it: Mobile app → open a comment → Reprocess As.

Voice transcription shown on suggested matches

What changed: When a captured comment includes a voice note, the suggested-matches screen now shows the transcribed text under the photo, the same way it already shows your typed notes.

Where to find it: Mobile app → Suggested Comments → match picker.

Annotate photos from the comment media viewer

What changed: Inspectors can now annotate photos directly from the media viewer when editing a comment, not just at initial capture (also available on web — see web update).

Where to find it: Mobile app → open a comment → click image → Annotate.

AI report audit on the finish flow

What changed: A finish-page audit now checks for missing required content, styles and materials issues, photo-related gaps, and template completion criteria.

Where to find it: Finish report flow → audit section on the final screen.

Annotation shapes, colors, and text

What changed: Photos can now be marked up with circle and square shapes, resize and rotate controls, color choices, and text overlays.

Where to find it: Report photo annotate screen.

Video in the overview section

What changed: Overview and observation sections can now include video, not just photos.

Where to find it: Report Overview / Observation section while adding media.

AI photo caption preferences

What changed: AI photo captions now support Off, Location only, and Description modes.

Where to find it: Settings → AI photo captions.

Improvements

Unselect a suggested comment match

What changed: On the suggested-comments match picker, tapping an already-selected option now clears it instead of leaving you stuck with a choice you didn’t mean to make.

Where to find it: Mobile app → Suggested Comments → match picker.

AI comment matching favors your notes over photo captions

What changed: When both a photo caption and your typed or spoken notes are available, comment matching now gives priority to your notes — reducing mismatches where a caption alone suggested the wrong issue.

Where to find it: No new screen — takes effect automatically during comment matching.

New Styles & Materials type prevents conflicting suggestions

What changed: A new boolean (true/false) Styles & Materials field type keeps AI suggestions from recommending both “Yes” and “No” for the same item.

Where to find it: Mobile app → open a report → Styles & Materials.

Overview Photos checkmark once a section has a photo

What changed: The Overview Photos outline row now shows a success checkmark once a section has at least one photo, matching the treatment already used for Styles & Materials.

Where to find it: Mobile app → open a report → outline → Overview Photos.

App version visible in mobile menu

What changed: The mobile user menu now shows the current app version, build number, and test-channel indicator for easier support troubleshooting.

Where to find it: Mobile app → user menu.

Faster offline comment syncing

What changed: Queued comments now upload with several in flight at once when reconnecting, instead of one at a time — meaningfully faster sync after large jobs done offline.

Where to find it: No new screen — takes effect automatically when the app reconnects.

Faster camera capture with hands-free shutter

What changed: The in-app camera is tuned for snappier capture, reduced blur, better flash timing, and hands-free triggering.

Where to find it: Report camera screen.

Comment merge is now an explicit choice

What changed: When confirming a comment, merging into an existing one is now a clear option instead of an action that appears to do nothing. Saving without merging is also supported.

Where to find it: Confirm comment flow.

Applies to: Existing and future records

Entire section removal from the report outline

What changed: Inspectors can remove a whole report section in one action, instead of only removing subsections.

Where to find it: Report outline and section actions.

Applies to: Existing and future records

Bug Fixes

Fixed dropped photo on rapid camera taps

What changed: Confirming a photo too quickly after capture could cause the shot to be dropped entirely; capture confirmation is now disabled until processing finishes.

Where to find it: Mobile app → camera.

Applies to: Future records only

Fixed lag on accepting suggested comments

What changed: Accepting or merging a suggested comment could take up to a minute due to waiting on network activity; it now updates immediately and syncs in the background.

Where to find it: Mobile app → Suggested Comments.

Applies to: Existing and future records

Fixed annotated photos saving at the wrong size

What changed: Annotating a photo previously saved it at the on-screen preview size with letterboxing baked in, instead of the original photo’s full resolution and aspect ratio; annotated photos now keep their original quality.

Where to find it: Mobile app → open a comment → media viewer → Annotate.

Applies to: Future records only

Fixed shared photos disappearing when reused across comments

What changed: When the same photo was reused across multiple comments (e.g. “From this report”), deleting it from one comment could remove the underlying image entirely, breaking the other comment’s copy; shared photos are now only removed once nothing else references them.

Where to find it: Mobile app → open a comment → media.

Applies to: Existing and future records

Caption editing stays in sync while typing

What changed: Photo caption edits now keep typed characters, survive re-entry, and persist correctly through confirm.

Where to find it: Photo caption editing in report writing.

Applies to: Existing and future records

Review & Edit opens annotate reliably

What changed: Tapping a photo in Review & Edit now goes directly to annotate, and caption edits sync correctly instead of dropping out.

Where to find it: Review & Edit → photo list.

Applies to: Existing and future records

Caption field stays visible above the keyboard

What changed: The caption input on the annotate screen is no longer covered by the on-screen keyboard.

Where to find it: Photo annotate screen.

Applies to: Existing and future records

Overview is required before finishing a report

What changed: Reports now must include the Overview section before they can be completed.

Where to find it: Report finish flow.

Applies to: Existing and future records
