  • Worked Great for Me!

    The only issue I’ve encountered is a glitch where videos won’t play when you tap play, but bringing the video into fullscreen fixes that.
    Otherwise, this app has been very helpful getting my certificate done as compared to doing it on the browser on my phone.
    Good stuff!
  • App is glitching way too much

    Your app needs a serious fix! Unless I have wifi, the “download” to read in an airplane feature is worthless. Likewise, doesn’t work on data. Recommend fixing this bug because your students can’t actually get the studying they need to in order to prep for the dive unless they have wifi. It shuts down automatically otherwise. Waste of time. This happened on 2 of my iPads and phone. Extremely dissatisfied.
  • You had one job :(

    The main reason one would use this app is to be able to use PADI training materials offline. Sadly this function doesn’t work. Judging from other reviews, it hasn’t worked for a long time, if ever.
    When connected to WiFi, I logged in, then accessed my course, then downloaded it. The app works fine when connected to internet, but when not connected, it tells you you have to be connected to access the content, even when it is already downloaded. Too bad, it would have been really convenient.

  • App crashes regularly

    The app keeps crashing on my iPhoneX. Never had this problem with the SSI app which works flawlessly.
  • Needs work

    App keeps kicking me out of the lessons while I’m reading the course material, tried many times to start again until it got too annoying, had to quit.

  • Not worth the time

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app multiple times. I have downloaded the content but still this app rests back to the main screen every 30 seconds. You can’t read or more importantly learn anything from this app.

  • Doesn’t work

    Once you download a section of the course and open it, it presents a black screen and never stops “loading”. Pathetic for an organization with the vast financial resources available.

  • Certification card

    When I try to go and look at my e-card it’s saying I don’t have any on file when clearly I do
  • Zero Stars

    Like many other reviewers here, I’ve found this app to be completely unusable. I’m on an iPhone 12 running iOS 14.4.2. After multiple attempts reopening and closing the app, I finally managed to get to the eLearning course only to be greeted with the error “Scorm Package is not ready” when I try to view or download anything. I’m technically literate and just could not get this working. If not for years of inertia, PADI would and should be out of business with SSI eating all its market share. What a disappointment.

  • Doesn’t work for elearning

    After you pay for the course you can’t download any of the modules except the first sample one.
    I guess this app is just to show you what the course is not to actually take the course.
    PADI is a pretty ghetto company. They aren't user friendly and don't bother to help.
    Ssi is more of a luxury and upper class dive certification operation. They are professional and user friendly with a fabulous app. Plus they’re much much cheaper and work closer with divers.
