Mobile Mondays: Using the PhotoPills widgets on Android

Photographers of many genres frequently use the PhotoPills app. It’s a one-stop shop for all of your outdoor photography planning needs. If you haven’t checked it out, I highly recommend doing so. If you already use the app, I wanted to make sure you’re aware of the PhotoPills widgets that you can install on your Android phone. They’re available for iOS, too — click here to read more on that.

The widgets can be customized to your current location and display key information, readily available at your fingertips. I have the widget on the second screen of my phone for easy, one-swipe access. 

Installing the widgets

To install the widget, find an empty space on your home screen and hold your finger down until the widget icon appears. 

If you have the PhotoPills app already installed, swipe until you see the PhotoPills widgets appear. You’ll have five options to choose from depending on your personal needs. I’ve chosen the most comprehensive one which shows the most information.
