  • 5 Stars: Great app for meeting a new dive buddy!

    The Buddy app exceeded my expectations by connecting me with an outstanding dive buddy. My new dive buddy and I had amazing experiences underwater and completed 5 dives together during a magical weekend dive trip to Catalina. Thanks to the app's efficient matching system and detailed profiles. It’s a game-changer for anyone looking to enhance their scuba diving adventures. Highly recommend!

  • Pretty Useless

    I want to like it. But it’s pretty useless. It seems like I’d have to pay for the social aspects of the app, without knowing how many people are in my area for it to be worthwhile. When searching for buddies in my area, it yields only a handful of results. As a dive log, I have to log manually, no option to import or export data. I don’t see that being any better than the padi, naui, or ssi apps that allows me to manually log dives. Worst is, I was testing the dive log feature with dummy data. Although it’s only in draft, it comes up in public searches. Although I save it as private, it still pops up in public searches. I delete the draft, it tells me the draft was successfully deleted, and yeap, you guessed it, it’s still coming up in public searches. I deleted and reinstalled the app to clear it from cache… nope it’s still there. Who’s doing qa on this??

  • Don’t waste your time.

    The app is a great concept, but an epic failure. I added each of my certs, cert numbers AND screenshot cert cards, but could not be verified. Also, the radar portion doesn’t wort at all. Just scrap the app and start over.
