What's New in ShootCal
1.8.13
September 2, 2026
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.
