Ratings and reviews

I gave this app 4 stars for effort. I signed up and subscribed, and found that not many divers are actually using it in my area. I also get too many alerts every day about "new" dive buddies. It just beings up a list of the divers near me and its the same list, not new divers. I canceled my subscription for now, and will consider signing up again if this app really takes off. I want to see it do well, but I don't think it's being promoted enough and few divers actually know about it.

Love the app. Best interface out of all the other apps out there. Has social integrations and diving community interactions. Since this is a new app, bluetooth dive computer downloads are still missing. Hopefully they will also add possibility to import/export dive log formats from other popular apps such as Subsurface (which is open source) or Diving Log 6.0 on Windows (app also). Having a backup to GoogleDrive or DropBox of the dive log would be great in case development ceases.

Cool idea, just like when Deep Blu did literally the same thing. Will check back, because it's absolutely useless without support for importing dive logs from other apps and dive computers or at the very least exported log files. Only people who get paid to be here will bother manually entering all their data, and that makes it a cesspool.

What’s new

New: Snorkel is now its own log type with dedicated add/edit flows, max depth tracking, a new icon set, and profile stats for snorkel count and deepest snorkel.
Fixed: Various stability improvements to media uploads in the dive log.
