Built for Tablets, With a New Guide Editor

Survivalist now makes full use of the bigger screen on iPad and Android tablets. Guides get a new editor, every area gets a new home screen, and the app speaks Spanish.

Survivalist on a tablet with the plan list, a flood evacuation plan and a step's route side by side

Optimised for tablets

A sidebar and a side-by-side layout let you browse your caches, plans and guides while you edit them, in portrait or landscape.

Details in a side panel

Items and plan steps open in a panel next to the list, so you never lose your place.

Three-pane Emergency Mode

On a tablet, phases, steps and progress sit side by side, with large step cards you can tick off under stress.

A new guide editor

Headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, bullet and numbered lists, web links, and links from plan steps straight to your guides.

New home screens

Control, Plan and Learn each open on a summary of what you have, with shortcuts to start something new or import a file.

Now in Spanish

Survivalist is available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Change the language in Settings.

Choose who can reshare

When you share something, decide whether the people you send it to can share it again.

Easier for everyone

Better support for larger text, stronger colour contrast, clearer screen reader labels and bigger buttons.

Android gets every feature in this release, tablet layout included, and files move freely between iOS and Android.
