RockGeo brings together offline geological field mapping on Android, 2D cross sections, stereonets, limit-equilibrium slope stability, and a synchronized web portal. Your data stops being scattered across notebooks, photo galleries, and disconnected spreadsheets.
Three integrated steps to eliminate rework between field data collection and office reporting.
Record geological points with GPS coordinates, attach georeferenced outcrop photos, voice notes, physical sample tags, and structural planar/linear measurements even without cellular signal.
Plot orientation data on Schmidt stereonets, construct geological cross sections, and send geometries directly into 2D limit-equilibrium slope stability solvers.
Export to Shapefile, GeoJSON, CSV, DXF, and PDF reports, or continue working on your computer by synchronizing with the RockGeo Cloud portal in your browser.
Designed to support the actual field routines of consultants, researchers, and earth science students.
Navigate with offline base maps and import custom GeoTIFF, MBTiles, GeoPDF, and Shapefile/KML vectors without requiring network coverage in remote survey areas.
Equal-area Schmidt pole plotting, Kamb density contouring, Fisher vector statistics, and kinematic tests for planar, wedge, and toppling rock slope failure modes.
Solve 2D limit-equilibrium safety factors (Bishop, Janbu, Spencer, GLE) accounting for piezometric water lines, distributed surcharges, and pseudo-static seismic loads directly on your phone.
Clear technical transparency based on verified application behavior.

Yes. Once you sign in on first launch with your Google account, you can switch your device to airplane mode. Point recording, geotagged photos, audio notes, structural compass dips, slope stability calculations, and preloaded base maps operate entirely against the local device database.

No. The app offers an ad-free permanent Free tier for core field tasks. For geological AI assistance, paid tiers and optional credit packs provide ready-to-use allowances processed via Google Play, without requiring you to set up third-party AI accounts.
RockGeo exports directly into standard geosciences and CAD formats: Shapefile (.shp), GeoJSON, KML/KMZ for Google Earth, CSV/XLSX spreadsheets, and DXF vector geometries for CAD software. Learn more in our Guide: From RockGeo to QGIS.
