Apple Rejected My 99¢ Apple Watch App Twice
Wristmate is a 0.99 iPhone and Apple Watch app that finally lets you turn your own photos into custom watch face complications - including rotating photo sets, borders, zoom, and crop controls. In this full walkthrough I show you how to build a complication set, sync your photos to the Apple Watch, and tap a complication to instantly launch an action. Whether you're on an Apple Watch Ultra or a Series watch, Wristmate works on circular, rectangular, and square complications so you can personalize your watch face exactly the way you want.
Beyond photo complications, Wristmate packs a set of handy Apple Watch shortcuts: start a workout, send or call a contact, set quick reminders and notes, search Maps, flip a coin, roll a dice, and the fun magic-8-ball-style "Ask the Orb." I also cover Apple's limitations, fast photo syncing, a live bug fix, and the story of getting the app approved after two rejections. If you're into Apple Watch customization, complications, watch face tips, and affordable indie apps, this one's for you.
