Best dive log for Any computer. Amazing with shearwater
I have been using Mac-dive on my Mac for a few years and it keeps getter better, truly amazing how nick listens to user feed back and keeps adding even more features while still keeping it easy to use.
This new iOS app is fantastic.
I just took a trip with my new shearwater dive computer and did not even bring a laptop let alone any cables. The bluetooth import worked perfectly! I could see my dive and add notes while still on the boat!!!
Added bonus: if you email support its Nick who writes back personally!
Great software! Great support!Show lesstodd999
Sweet Compliment to Mac-Dive
I have been a Mac-Dive customer for a number of years. I've logged over 1,000 dives and was very excited when Nick came out with a mobile compliment to Mac-Dive.
The interface is beautifully designed and provides a substantial amount of detail for a mobile app. My favorite feature is a critter tracker. I've been photographing underwater for a number of years and now I'm having fun uploading and cataloging my critter photos.
If Mac-Dive is any indicator, we can expect Nick to continue updating this app in the future.
A solid five stars!Show lessFoolishcfo
Great initial release
This app has amazing functionality for an initial release. I’ve synced 90 dives full of images to the cloud from Mac Dive (OS X) app and synced them into this app. Everything is working great. This initial release has obsoleted the Dive Log app that I was using. It is nice to have full image synchronization into the app which Dive Log did not. It’s minor, but I would like to see the images rotated when the device is rotated so they better fit on the screen.Show lessiPadAddic
Love it. Perfect iOS companion to the desktop MacDive
What more can I say, I was very pleased with my first experiences of this app.
I have been using the desktop version of MacDive for a couple of years. It's his crate application that allows you to track everything you would want to track in your scuba dive log book. Furthermore, you can bring in pictures seamlessly from photos or iPhoto. Multiple photos can be linked into a single dive.
It appears that everything in that desktop version of MacDive gets synchronized directly into the iOS version. Although the process took quite a bit of time, I think that is because I had over 250 photographs that were linked in to different dives. That said, the iOS app is very easy to use, all of the information that you need is there, and the really great thing is now you can add new dive sites right in your iOS app, using the GPS location of the phone itself while you are on the dive boat to mark the location. Previously I had to take my Garman on the dive boat, Mark the site and at a later time after I got home I would manually put it into Mac dive. You also have the ability on the fly to add a photograph taken with the iOS devices on camera directly to a dive.
The app even allows you to link to your iOS contacts app to add buddies.
Overall, I have played around with the app for a couple of hours, had no crashes, I see no discrepancies no hangs.
I cannot say that I've tested all of the features, my dive computer does not have Bluetooth built in, so I don't have a means to test the direct import of the dive profile. My current dive computer is a Liquivision Lynx, so I need to import through the Liquivision app, then drag the file onto MacDive to import the profiles. That works very well.
Great Job Nick!Show lessCut2qur
Very promising - but currently too buggy
Initially it looked really good; nice interface, good layout and design, promising feature set. Uncertain about how thoroughly it was tested though. Imported all my data ok and appeared to be working nicely; but then selected the smart logs option to view dives and it crashed straight away. Subsequent attempts to open the app result in it crashing immediately, so it’s unusable.
Could do with some minor interface tweaks. Bold, large size font on some headings is jarring and text color needs better contrast with the background to improve the readability and ease of use. Sync should be changed to use iCloud, since it’s easier, more convenient and it’s only syncing between iOS and OS X. Fix the crashes as well and it’s a 4 or 5 star app.Show lessScoobapilot
Beautiful and VERY useful representation of dive data
This is a gorgeous UI and the representation and use of data actually make the desktop app seem all the more out of date.
Please use iCloud for data sync, your desktop and iPhone app are all within the Apple ecosystem so there's really no reason not to. Please also add all of the DC Buddy supported computers, I have a Sherwood wisdom 2 and 3 I cannot use with this.
GREAT first go at bringing a long standing Mac app to iPhone, thank you!Show lessJoFuAZ
Best designed iOS Scuba App
I’ve been a fan/user of the MacDive desktop app for years and have long been waiting for an iPhone app. Worth the wait! This is the best designed iPhone app (I’ve used others). Very clean user interface, great visualizations for gas usage and depth charts. Geo placements and photo integrations are elegant. And after a quick setup with Dropbox (need a DB account) you can sync between the two devices. Great job MacDive team and thanks for bringing this to us divers.Show lessmredgrimley
Did anyone test this - or am I the tester?
Seriously? I just plunked down $10 for an app that doesn’t sync and now won’t open.
I sync’d my mac version to the Dropbox cloud. Then I “allowed” the iPhone app to sync. Nothing.
I closed the app then reopened it hoping that would help and now it instantly crashes every time I try to open it. Garbage. Fix it quick or I’ll be looking for a refund.Show lesscohibafan
