Soon

Version 5.9 (April 2026)

Expanded motion analysis, mapping, and trip management — including EV cost tracking, multi-track pinning, online map caching, a reworked trip editor, and new Pitch & Roll and G-Force visualization tools.

Version 5.9 details (tap to expand)

Reworked trip editor to streamline initial mileage setup and ongoing trip counter management (set/reset total and current counters).
EV support : cost, consumption parameters, and driving range. Track cost is now based on the cost parameters saved with the track at completion, not the current settings.
Pinned tracks upgraded : add multiple pinned tracks to the map (no longer limited to one). Customize color and line width, save pinned sets as presets, and apply them when needed.
Online source map cache : tiles are now cached to improve map browsing and reduce mobile data usage and load on map providers.
Pitch & Roll mode: central and micro panels to improve spatial awareness and safety (off-road limits, motorhome balancing, etc.). Includes customizable alerts for unsafe angles and recovery back to safe ranges.
G-Force mode (reworked): central and micro panels now feature G-Bowl alongside the G-Force graph. Includes customizable alerts for overloads on any axis. Measure your limits — and choose whether to stay within them or push beyond.

Version 5.9 is now available for beta testers.

Available in public beta (release date TBD):

G-Cross mode and G-Bands panels for alternative visualization and analysis of acceleration trends and peak values.
Road Survey and Camera Rig utilities within the new Motion Quality mode.
Designed for measuring road quality or tuning your camera rig (or any mounted device) for safety, comfort, and stability.
Resonance Scan mode — for dialing in custom setups and identifying vibration and resonance behavior.

These features are currently available only in the public beta while we refine them together with beta users before the App Store release.

You can access the app developer (Stan Dvoychenko, me) directly via email: support@blocoware.com or phone +420 724 730 447 (+iMessage). But I’d prefer if you contact me via star button as I’ll have an extra information on the iOS version and device model in this case.
