User Reviews: Kraken Sports Smart Housing

Top reviews

  • The app needs a ton of work

    The housing itself is amazing, however the app needs a ton of work. It only reads temperature in Celsius and the depth sensor is also 3ft off. The app crashes and does not tell NDL. The auto focus is beyond frustrating and most pictures just come out exceptionally over saturated
  • Keeps crashing

    Just bought the housing and I have been looking g forward to using it. So far the hardware has worked well, but the app…. Awful. It has crashed on 5 of 6 dives so far and when it crashes you are out of luck for using it the rest of the dive. It also crashes every time I try and open the gallery. I’ve not really gotten into it too much so far as it’s brand new, but at this point I am considering returning the whole thing. Hopefully support will respond. (Also deleted and reinstalled app hoping that would make it better - no luck)
  • Many issues

    The operation of the camera and case is smooth. The problem comes with anything you want to do with your photos after the dive. Opening the photo gallery causes the app to crash. The color correction feature does not work either, and even worse, it seems like you have to color adjust one by one. All of the photos end up in my iPhoto library so at least they are accessible, but I hoped more from this app.
  • Looks great, but does not capture full 4:3 image from sensor

    And cannot get 48 MP mode on main camera on iPhone 14 Pro. I wanted to replace my SeaLife housing with the Kraken as I like the idea of being able to attach wet lenses, but being locked into 10 MP 16:9 aspect ratio makes this app a non-starter and essentially useless.

    Also there were no clear instructions on how to fit the camera in the housing and the videos in the app all showed the old housing and app.

    Fortunately there is a 3rd party app that can connect to the kraken housing and use the 48 MP mode, but it has other issues.

    Frustrating. I think I will have to go back to the SeaLife sportdiver housing.

  • Latest release Missing on screen data capture .

    Love the housing. The latest software seems to not have the on screen capture of dive data that old software version had. Really liked the depth, temp, And long/lat.
  • Crash

    App has crashed every time I go to get the pics
    Why did it ask if it wanted access if I have to go somewhere else
    And now I can’t get my photos cause the app won’t stay up to get them.
    Zero star was not an option.
