It updated with no issues. I need todo some research on the groups. The Group 1 has a lock symbol next to it. Not sure if it is supposed to be there or not. Also as of right now Live View is not working so I am re installing the Beta Firmware now…After a re install the Live View is still not an option for me!

Hey Josh, the lock symbol is there as group 1 cant be deleted. Groups are a great way to organize measurements together (if your measuring many windows, many different openings, etc) as a way to cluster measurements together that relate to the same unit.

So far the layout guide works flawless and very helpful for what I do. I install custom blinds and draperies. I used the the layout guide to space the brackets out according to the manufacturer. Made quick work.  
I still do not have a live view feature in the app. iPhone 13 Pro Max, Running the newest iOS and the rock app is updated.

Hey Josh, glad to hear it! Live view is disabled on the app side now but will likely enable for the release next week!

So I have noticed that the oled screen is displaying one measurement and when I click the save button the e paper display and app are the same measurement but different than the oled display. I am using the inch 1/16.

Hey Josh, could you share a picture of what is being displayed across all three screens or a video. Usually this is a result of being in a different display tolerance mode but would like to see to ensure its not a bug

Hey Josh, the difference your seeing is the tolerancing setting - you are in 1/16" mode on your T1 and in 1/32" mode the ROCK App (you can update in settings page to 1/16" and 1/32" for now).

You can change either to match one another depending on which units you want
