Apple Watch and Wear OS
ShootCal wherever you are
In the middle of a wedding, you don’t want to dig out your phone to check the bride and groom’s names. ShootCal on your Apple Watch or Wear OS watch shows your next session at a glance, and a tap shows the time and place.
On Wear OS 6 or later, a free ShootCal watch face adds the weather, chance of rain, wind, tides, and sunrise and sunset around your next session. Choose the background, the colors, and the font.
ShootCal for Wear OS is coming soon: waiting on Google Play approval.
