IDeco Pro for Negative User Reviews

Great but no support and funny decoIDeco is a really nicely designed piece of software. Great features and excellent interface. Sadly the support for VPM-B appears to be disabled and emailing the developer produces no reply. The app hasn't been updated in a long time. Brock, it would be great to hear some news..Version: 0

Full of bugsCrashes all the time. Can't change any of the settings without it crashing straight away. Not impressed for the cost of this app..Version: 1.2.5

I wasted money on this applicationI read the reviews and decided to buy this over the Baltic app. Trying to save money has only resulted in frustration and I ended up buying Baltic anyway. I went to settings and changed all of the applicable stuff (certified diver, enable trimix ect.). I could not get the app to change from air to trimix as my primary gas. I even had a few app savy divers try. No luck. I logged back on to Itunes and clicked on the pro support tab. The website has been taken down. I tried the developers website link and it too has been taken down. I tried a google search, all of the web support sites have been removed. There is no support for this app. If you want trimix dive planning buy Baltic or V-Planner. Don't buy this one..Version: 0

GarbageAs others mentioned: it crashes, you can't change the settings, not all of the screen shots shown above are available and there is no support. Click to developer page - WTF? If the developer can't get the basic interface right do you want to trust him that the actual deco plans are correct and take this sort of risk? In fairness, I know some who used the original program and liked it. But that doesn't help me now. Seems the problems began with the last update in October - so why after 8 months has this not been fixed? BTW it gets one star only because I can't give it less. So sad..Version: 1.2.5

Good app, be sure to change settings not in appCrashes when I try to select different SAC rate or other list-based settings when accessed via the app's gear icon. Use the IPhones Settings app to change the preferences instead. Otherwise good app and works well..Version: 1.2.5

Nice layoutNice layout Once you realise that to delete deco gas you swipe left to right, easy to use. You need to change settings from iPhone settings and not in the app. Would like to have Buhlman ZHL16B tables option.Version: 1.2.5

Nice, but not much different than the free one.I had hoped to see some extra features, but besides a slightly different UI and finally having more options configurable inside the app (although now they seem split between iphone settings and app, which seems odd), there's not much difference between this and the free version. I gave iDeco 5 stars, but I can only give this 3, simply just for the lack of extra features for the price. This version (1.0) also seems to have a bug preventing multilevel dives from working, likewise the scrolling in the new revised UI is so clunky, that getting to the bailout profile is hard. It does seem a bit more robust when trying to plan more than 3 dives however, but it still uses the one single long table which makes it hard to use for multiday planning, but ok for just planning 1-3 dives for 1 day. UPDATE: multilevel sometimes works after resetting the phone. It's still not easy to plan a complex up/down profile with 10 levels or so. And the CCR bailout seems to always picks the deepest level, so you get your max bailout gas need, but the deco needed might be higher from a later and shallower level. I could recommend buying just to support the development, but feature wise, it's not much extra over the free version. So for now, I would recommend sticking with the free one. It seems to generate better numbers than iDeco though, for example a 300ft 20min dives now generates sensible stop times more in line with other planners (mvplanner for instance). I'd bumb this up 1 star for that, but then I'd have to take off 1 star from iDeco :-).Version: 0

UselessStill can't change settings, making it barely usable. Waste of money really..Version: 1.2.5

Crashes in settings on sac rate and last stopGreat idea but sadly crashes when i try and change my sac rate or the last stop in metric. Maybe its a compatibility problem with the 4S, however makes this app useless when it comes to predicting gas consumption if you can't change the sac rate. Disappointingly there also seems no way to get any support to resolve the problem as you need a password to access the support page?.Version: 1.2.5

Nearly thereGreat idea and potentially a very isefull tool but i feel its totally useless in its current state as any change to crucial settings will crash the app therfore unable to plan with it . Angry i wasted the money.Version: 1.2.5

Crash always when chan settingsI try to change setting and always close application and also info my to change 100 % O at 12 m ( very very bad ) I lost my money. What happen? Do not purchase.Version: 1.2.5

Do not buyThis app is a rip off. As soon as you change anything in settings it crashes. There is nowhere in the app to contact the developer or on there web site I want my money back. I am going to contact Amex and request a refund. This is criminal and unacceptable. Apple should monitor what is being sold on there App Store more closely..Version: 1.2.5

Seen betterDecent app. Leaves a lot to be desired. Baltic is better..Version: 1.3.0

Not worth itNot very happy with the app .. If you try to change the setting to suit ya plan it crashes .. Waste of money .. Wish I had listened to the other reviews .. It's a rip off and I want my money back .. Don't get the app it's pointless.Version: 1.2.5

Antiquated algorithm but adequate...Still an antiquated algorithm with the addition of more rainbow farting unicorns. Limited but adequate for light to moderate technical dives. VPM would make this app a real winner and suited for more advanced mixed gas OC/CCR dives. Good for the money tho! V-Planner is still the better choice for the serious technical diver..Version: 3.0.0

Nice but some bad bugsCannot set SAC rate so gas planning is useless..Version: 1.2.5

IOS9 FailPlease update this was a great app and use it a lot..Version: 1.3.0

Settings change crashI just installed it on my 4S and every single change in the settings (l/mn, pO2...) crash the App. The "support" website also points to some Japanese decorations for iPhones ... Not sure what to do with it of no settings can be changed..Version: 1.2.5

BUGGY!Useful, but too many bugs to bother listing. If you rely on it to cut tables (ehhhhh), make sure to double-check the work with a different app! Needs an update really badly. Graphics not entirely compatible with current iOS. Rendering errors abound. I'm starting to suspect this app is "abandon-ware" sadly. Here's hoping I'm wrong.... :(.Version: 1.3.0

Good app with too glitchesAs general speaking the app do the job but with some considerations, for example when you plan a deco dive within the app and the dive plan throws you lets say a deco stop at 9m for 8 minutes and you set a leg at the same deep for 10 minutes the app dont recognize the extended level and still set the 9m for 8 minutes stop wich total time will be 18 minutes (extended level plus real deco stop) very diferent from the original 8 minutes or even 10 minutes level. Also would be great to controll the ascent rate, descent rate and sac more precisly . My real deco sac is under the minimum value on the app. Delete waypoints or legs can be tricky because the app delete the waypoint but dont keep the info for the other wp instead the app overlap the info you are triying to delete with the next wp..Version: 1.3.0

UnhappyWebsite links to some random Chinese site. Some settings cause ideco pro to immediately close. Not good for something I am planning to use for life safety..Version: 1.2.5

MrIssues related to almost all settings options, like SAC, name, email, deco last stop, GF settings... Useless until fixed!!! :S.Version: 1.2.5

IdecoThis app is nearly good. Most of the settings from the settings menu cause the app to crash. It's possible to plan dives but unfortunately without settings available such as last stop depth, due to problem mentioned above makes use inconvenient or impossible. The features are really good and just what I'm looking for. Might be useful to printout plans although the email facility makes this doable. I must point out that I'm using this on an ipad2 so this may be the problem, but it does say iPad compatible in the store..Version: 1.2.5

UnusableCan't change any of the settings, this makes it unusable. If they don't fix it don't buy it. Waste if money..Version: 1.2.5

A step backwardsChanging some of the settings within the app crashes the app. The settings can be changed in Settings - iDecoPro without crashing. I expected much more than this with the 'pro' moniker but am mightily disappointed. Unless its fixed so it at least doesn't crash, it gets a one star and I'd like my money back. There also needs to be a high resolution version for the iPad and some way to automatically create three variants of the plan (staying too long at depth, going too deep, and staying too long as well as going too deep) for contingencies..Version: 1.2.5

Will be greatOnce I can save settings without crashing. Love the UI. Please fix it..Version: 1.2.5

Doesn't WorkThe current version of this program does not seem to work. Whenever you try to set anything the program tells you to go to the iPad settings and set things there. But when you do and come back none of the settings seem to have propagated through. I have tried killing the program and restarting it and I have tried turning off the iPad and restarting it and still iDeco Pro never seems to go out and read the settings. It's too bad. The earlier version of the program was excellent..Version: 1.2.0

Not working with recent OS updatesThis application has been very useful. However, since the last Apple OS updates, the application is not functioning correctly. It is not possible to select oxygen or helium content. The application is therefore unusable..Version: 1.3.0

DiverDoes not work , try to adjust setting and it crashes , will not just my life to it , please repair.Version: 1.2.5

Deep StopsWould be fantastic but other versions I have seen you can add legs to it with more deep stops for longer!! Rather than going to 6 m for 30mins.Version: 0
