New Features
Photo Timestamp Overlay
Added an optional timestamp feature to help inspectors document when photos were taken, providing proof of inspection timing and reducing potential liability issues.
What's New:
New setting toggle in Menu → More → General: "Add Time and Date Stamp to Photos"
When enabled, all photos captured in the app will display a permanent timestamp overlay in the lower right corner
Timestamp shows date and time in your device's format (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM)
The timestamp is permanently embedded in the photo and cannot be removed
Setting takes effect immediately—no app restart required
Why This Matters:
Provides verifiable proof of when inspection photos were taken, protecting inspectors when report timing is questioned.
Bulk Delete Reports
You can now select and delete multiple reports at once, making report management faster and more efficient.
What's New:
Multi-select capability on the Open Report screen (Menu → Open Report)
Select in upper right hand corner
Select All" and "Deselect All" options for quick selection
Confirmation dialog prevents accidental deletions
Why This Matters:
Save time by deleting multiple outdated or unwanted reports in one action instead of deleting them one by one.

What's Changed:

Components are fully visible and editable after cloud sync
Impact:
Reports and templates created with a single component or multiple components on Desktop will now work as expected on iOS.
