Pool Shot Planner
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pool Shot Planner turns an angled photo of the table into an editable direct-shot plan. Stand where you would take the shot and include the cue ball, target ball, nearby obstacles, and one complete visible pocket. The app freezes the camera image and detects ball positions on your device. You stay in control: confirm or correct the cue ball, add missed balls, remove false detections, choose the actual target ball, and tap where its center should arrive inside the pocket. KEY FEATURES • Rear 1× camera capture and on-device photo analysis • One target ball and one visible pocket destination selected by you • Draggable cyan destination point with immediate route recalculation • Optional advanced pocket-jaw check with assisted suggestions or manual 3-point marking • Clear jaw-check guide: left jaw, right jaw, then a point inside the pocket behind the jaw line • Manual cue-ball correction and target-ball selection • Add missed balls and remove false detections • 1×–5× precision editor with zoom, pan, and portrait/landscape support • Aim lines, ghost-ball position, contact points, target path, and stability feedback • Clear blocked result for true overlaps, off-image geometry, or visible-ball obstruction • No account, no ads, no analytics, and no photo upload IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES Routes are perspective estimates from an angled photo, not physical overhead measurements or guarantees. Version 1.0 supports direct shots to the selected visible pocket only. It does not model bank shots, combination shots, spin, stroke technique, or cue-ball position after impact. Always compare the overlay with the real table, check every ball and obstacle, and put the phone down before taking the shot.
