Dive Log for Negative User Reviews

✓ IOS 7 StyleThis app is great..! The reason for my 2 star and not 5 is purely down to the fact that after nearly a year of iOS7 this app has still not been updated to the iOS7 styles... When this is done 5🌟 all the way..Danny159Version: 1.8.4

✓ No true mac synchronizationWorks fine as something to input dive information on an iphone, but the promotional materials for the $10 product (pretty expensive for an app) say that you can synchronize with mac osx. I followed the (extremely limited) instructions for the software to download to be able to do this (using dive log manager and macdive), and, as far as I can tell, there is no way whatsoever to sync information entered onto the iphone 'down' to your computer. no way to convert the sql file that gets imported through dive log manager to the udcf format that is necessary to actually import the information into the computer program. At a minimum, bi-directional synchronization is necessary to make this application worth $1, much less $10. I wouldn't be quite so upset if it weren't for the fact that the information on iTunes specifically says that synchronization is available for both windows and mac osx. I've e-mailed support for some sort of answer to my question, and if the solution becomes available, I will happily change my rating. As it is, I just wasted $10..Very-simpleVersion: 0

✓ A bit overwhelming for a recreational diverAs a recreational diver, I was looking for an easy way to log my dives and track bottom time, weights, max depth, and some other small notes. While this app does provide that functionality, it also includes many other details to the point where it gets overwhelming. Also, the app is very user input dominated so it takes a lot of effort to log a simple dive. Would have liked a more user friendly and intelligent suggestion way to add dives. Going back to a physical log for now, but appreciate the effort and think it could be great for divers who need to track every small detail of their dives. Would love to see a simpler version of the app for more causal recreational divers..AhijaouyVersion: 3.2.4

✓ Suunto compatibilityThere's no point in buying this if, like me, you want to download dive data from a Suunto dive computer to this electronic log on an iPad. As soon as you plug in the Suunto interface via the Apple USB adaptor, there's an error message saying the USB device won't work as it requires too much power. It isn't the fault of the App but its a waste of money all the same..Fishface10Version: 1.7.9

✓ Needs tweakingI didn't start diving when I bought my phone so what about sorting out the mapping so I can put in previous dives by finding them on the google map. Neither this or the rather clunky app for the desktop version let's you easily log you past dive location details. It expects you to know the GPS details. Sorry some of us were diving before GPS was on the iPhone..LeftinlalalandVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Very useful appI found this app very useful but as is always the case, there is room for improvement in future releases that would set it apart from the rest. I find most of the features are exactly what I am looking for except perhaps the inclusion of a list to record sightings whilst on a dive. Appreciate that this is what the comments box could provide but very often one is seeing similar species so a selectable list similar to the equipment section would be a good improvement to consider. What about taking it a step further and allowing images to be uploaded? I don't think this would be to difficult to address and it would really set this app apart from others in this field..Stu ThommoVersion: 1.7.9

✓ Not what I wantedThis is strictly a LOGBOOK, there is nothing in it that assists dive PLANNING. Despite the graphs in the advertising, they are historical in nature. Wasted money for me..DandyruckusVersion: 3.2.2

✓ Great Basic Log BookGreat for the basics. Simple entry and clean approach gives you a good record of your dives. Used it for multiple dives and never had an issue. Perhaps too many fields of information to fill out. My experience is based only on manual entry and haven't synced with a dive watch/computer. Needs to be updated to the current iOS 8 "look" though and built in integration with Facebook would be a bonus as well as HealthKit. Feature request: Ability to add instructor and their number to a dive (different to a buddy)..AnthonyjcoxVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Doesn't work with Suunto and no replies, ever!This look like a good app but I can't really tell as I've not been to use properly. I have a Suunto Stinger and have been unable to download any of my dives to my laptop (a MacBook pro). I have followed all the advice on their site but nothing works. What is worse though as I have tried to contact the support mail countless times an have never had as much as an acknowledgement to my mails. If you want to buy this and download from a Suunto beware!.Bhood541Version: 1.5

✓ Good, could be betterThis app provides everything you would want in a log book, but could be better in terms of UI flow to make the functionality a bit more intuitive..BPSKIBUMVersion: 3.2.13

✓ Good, but lacks functionality for the priceDeepBlu app is better (if they support your computer) and free. The GPS logging of dive sites on DeepBlu is way better because you can actually see other dive sites on it. This app’s GPS function doesn’t even work as far as I can tell. It tells you where you are, but it doesn’t let you save that location to your dive log. Not worth paying money for.AssdfgrVersion: 3.4

✓ Flexible but emptyPricy when you have to buy an addition to allow it to use your computer, but I can live with that as it is a full featured app and a one-off purchase. Where it comes down is complexity and lack of prefilled information. You have to manually add every marine species, piece of equipment, body of water, country, island and dive site. Marking a dive site is difficult as it doesn’t correctly copy Google Maps Plus codes and doesn’t allow you to search easily by map within the app. I would expect all countries, bodies of water etc to be preloaded as well as popular dive sites. It becomes tedious whenever you’re logging a dive to create a new country, a new body of water, a new entry for every new animal. Dropbox syncing is kind of clunky too. Have used for 2-3 years and been moderately satisfied but recently used some others and they highlight where this falls short and I’ve started looking for alternatives..JoshyMcJoshFaceVersion: 3.5.1

✓ Horrible, not user friendly, no help offered.There is no help in the app, no support link. No way to find out how to use it. I added the Mares blue link for an extra $3.99 and i still can’t find anything in the app that suggests you can connect it to my computer nor an option to do so nor any help button to work out how. I want my money back!.AlleyCat61Version: 3.2.4

✓ Dive LogThis application is OK. Not sure why there is a repetitive button as it seems to do nothing. Quite fiddly to fill in. Descriptions are poor e.g entry type boat or shore, but no way of adding others. Deco stops need to fill in manually as no list. Does not calculate pressure groups. Statistics are ok, have not yet tried to sync with my suunto dive manager. ( this does not work on a mac) This application I think is an ok electronic backup..Scubadiver14Version: 0

✓ Good, BUT needs a lot of workThis app is pretty good. I just feel it's missing some things and implements a few things in a weird way. Location info is weird. It asks for city/state and country/region as data fields but don't associate them together. So you can put in that you dove in Pensacola Florida and then choose from the drop down that you dove in Pensacola Russia. Why not just use the same city, state like the rest of the world? It has signature slot, but no other info tied to it. No slot to mark if it was a master diver, dive buddy, space alien, boat master, etc or to put their diver number. A lot of other little details that are weird and annoying. it's good enough software, but not worth the price he is charging until it's polished…. A LOT!.L0KEMANVersion: 1.7.9

✓ So many opportunities ...... so much time spent on promoting a $100 bluetooth ad-on for reading dive computers. Admittedly, being able to copy the entire dive, profile and all, would be nice, but they *could* make the app so much more useful as an actual logbook if they wanted. It allows for a fairly comprehensive set of information with which to annotate your dives, but it's nothing that a spreadsheet couldn't do. You can enter groups, surface interval, etc, but the app really has enough information to fill in those blanks. Changing the spelling of a dive site, and all information about it (GPS coordinates, most notably) are gone. I have all my dives in here, so will keep using it 'til I find something better, but if you're looking for an electronic dive log to start with, "this is not the dive log you're looking for.".GrandgeezerVersion: 2.5

Dive Log works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Dive Log.
