support@wristdope.comFrequently asked questions
- Do I need my iPhone nearby to use WristDope?
- No. WristDope runs standalone on Apple Watch. Weather requires a network connection (Wi-Fi or cellular), but ballistic calculations work entirely on the watch.
- Why does WristDope ask for Location and Motion access?
- Location provides compass heading, altitude, and local weather; motion measures device angle for shot calculations. This data is used only on your device and is never collected or shared. See our Privacy Policy for details.
- Which watches are supported?
- WristDope is designed for Apple Watch Ultra and recent Series models running a current version of watchOS.
- Are my gun and load profiles backed up?
- Profiles are stored locally on your watch and persist between launches. Keep a note of your key data, as profiles are tied to the device.
- How accurate are the solutions?
- WristDope uses a full physics-based trajectory engine (G1/G7 drag, spin drift, Coriolis). As with any ballistic solver, real-world accuracy depends on accurate inputs — verify and true your data on the range.
WristDope is a calculation aid for lawful target shooting and hunting. Always follow safe firearms handling practices and applicable laws.
