Session types now load reliably in the event editor, and if they can't load you'll see why. When you're offline, ShootCal now says so plainly instead of showing a technical error.

Fixes a crash when opening an appointment to edit it. The Edit button stays steady while the editor opens. The old Paid and Unpaid switch is gone. Deposits and payments now come from your ShootCal invoices. Send invoice and Send contract explain when an appointment needs a client name first. Galleries works for every sign-in method, and new events use a blue default color.

Choose Basic, Plus or Pro in Plan & billing and subscribe through Apple. View your current plan, restore purchases, or manage your App Store subscription.

Calendar loading is smoother, with clearer progress feedback and cached events when returning from an appointment. Setup and business tools open inside ShootCal, with improved layouts for smaller screens. Calendar colors show deposit status or colors from your connected calendars. Manual event color changes have been removed.

This update improves ShootCal sign-in, client and booking views, session-type previews, and event editing. Calendar connections remain optional; manage them and session types on the ShootCal website.

Restores appointment alerts and badges for ShootCal accounts, improves Apple Watch appointment updates, and keeps calendar sign-in and saved appointments reliable.

ShootCal now uses your ShootCal account, with optional Google and Microsoft calendar connections. This update restores the session-type selector, day details, and event editor layout, keeps loading indicators from moving the calendar, and improves calendar sync review.

Use ShootCal as a standalone booking calendar, with optional Google and Microsoft calendar connections. This update improves account sign-in, calendar refresh and saved-event editing, and keeps clients, tasks and follow-ups connected to your ShootCal account.

Session defaults and calendar availability are more consistent across ShootCal. • New events fill the selected session type's default location while preserving locations you enter yourself. • Suggested session times use your Primary Business Calendar and the additional calendars chosen in Booking availability, independently of which calendars you display. • Clearer reminder settings explain which session types send reminders, with all supported reminder timing choices available. • Improved time formatting and session type editing help keep event setup consistent.

Create session types with an explained walkthrough or add them manually. Save your changes and open the matching online booking settings directly. New session types stay calendar-only until you enable online booking. Clearer guidance and safer saving, client history, and map previews.

Create a gallery for a session straight from the session's own screen. Booking requests that are past their date are now listed apart from pending ones. Fixes a crash when deleting a session type, and a case where adding one could leave you with a duplicate. Signing in with Google no longer hangs if the app moves to the background partway through. The agenda opens on today after a cold launch, and a day with no sessions of its own now names the multi-day session still covering it. A location containing an ampersand now opens the right place in Maps, and repeated location suggestions are gone.

Send a contract or an invoice straight from a client, or from a saved session — the ShootCal website opens with everything already filled in. Your client's contracts and their status now appear right on the client, so you can see what's signed without leaving the app. Plus a refreshed accent color and general polish.

Fixes in this update: Your client list could stop loading and show a Google Contacts error. It now loads correctly. ShootCal could show you as signed out of Google after the app had been open for a while, and only force quitting brought it back. It now reconnects on its own. A brief network or server problem no longer signs you out of your Google account.

Fixes a sign-in issue where the app could appear signed out when returning from the background until it was force-quit and reopened. Also brings clearer Save and Send Invoice actions in the event editor, improved disabled-button feedback, email validation before calendar saves, and a refreshed adaptive ShootCal color palette.

Improves event saving by validating client email addresses before sending requests to Google Calendar. Also streamlines deposit tracking with ShootCal invoices.

• Attach a client questionnaire to a session type: when you mark that booking’s deposit received, ShootCal emails your client the form automatically, and the type shows which form is attached. • Simpler deposits: one clear "deposit received" everywhere (the separate manual-confirmation labels option is retired). • Requests inbox: quick filter to find a client fast. • Plus fixes and refinements across the app.

• Much faster: typing in the event form is instant and browsing events is snappier. • Event maps appear instantly. Locations are prepared in the background for your upcoming events. • Calendar chips can now show each event’s location (optional, synced with the web app). • Search opens as soon as you click the search box and stays open while you click through results. • New events appear on your calendar instantly while syncing continues in the background. • Tides recover automatically when NOAA retires a station, and show "Tides unavailable" instead of loading forever when offline. • Booking history stays accurate, plus many fixes and refinements.

• Add a client or booking once and it syncs everywhere instantly — no manual calendar scan needed. • Clients list is now searchable and grouped by name or recent bookings. • Mac: quick-edit a session right from the calendar. • Brighter, easier-to-read session details. • Various fixes and refinements.

When you add a booking request to your calendar, you can now choose the session type (book it as any type you like) and pick from golden hour and studio time slots for the day you select, right in the Add to Calendar window.

Connecting Wave or QuickBooks is clearer now. You start the connection from ShootCal on the web, and once it's linked the app shows "Wave connected" (or QuickBooks) right in Settings, with a link to manage it online. Paid invoices still mark a booking's deposit as received automatically.

Deleting a repeating event now offers this occurrence or the entire series. Closing the event editor with unsaved changes now asks first. VoiceOver can now read the calendar, and the month grid respects your text size setting. Better handling of expired Google sign-ins, more reliable client deletion and booking actions, and dozens of small wording improvements.
