Aug 24, 2018
Fotocast v2 is here! This is a MAJOR update with a lot of new improvements, bug fixes, and other changes. Here's the highlights of what's new: There is a better UI throughout the app, and easier to use, especially on the Sun + Moon direction tool. Speaking of that, the Sun + Moon direction tool now automatically rotates based on which direction your phone is facing in real life, and the time automatically updates based on your current time! This update also gets Apple Watch support, so you can see the weather on your Apple Watch after you connect it to the app. Moon rise and moon set times are now on the main screen, and speaking of the main screen - you can now fully customize that tab to hide items you don't want, or show ones that you do. The hourly views now have sunrise and sunset times next to the graphs and it's also now easier to directly contact us in the app. My Photo Spots should now work flawlessly, and also there are a lot of new options for what you can do with that. Photo Inspiration screen will now automatically load to the correct category for the type of photographer you are and current weather condition. There are new alerts and notifications, as well as other new convenient features. Those are just a small sampling of the changes in this major update. For a full list of changes (and there are a lot more we couldn't fit here!) like and follow us on social media to see the latest news, updates, photography tips, and deals. Thank you! :)
