### 2/5 — Doesn’t save logged dives

*2024-02-03, version 1.5.3*

Ive been subscribing to this app for a couple years but my logged dives keep disappearing which is quite annoying as the whole point of the app as a dive log is not functional.

### 4/5 — Good solid app, could do with some expansion/improvement

*2023-06-06, version 1.5.3*

Have used the Breathe app for 130 dives over past couple of years and find it easy and versatile, but disappointed as I start to move into things like sidemount that there’s no ability to give a starting pressure greater than 300bar, even though twin tanks are an option. With sidemount being so popular even recreationally, please let us either put starting  pressure for multiple tanks where we’ve selected multiples, or give us hire total pressure so we can add them together? And a better search function too - I’d like to be able to search by buddy, location, equipment as well as name of dive.

### 4/5 — Breathe log book

*2022-10-02*

I’m a new user and I like what app can do. I’m preparing to unlock equipment

### 4/5 — Great UI

*2022-04-17*

I enjoy the app, but is it possible to create an app and sync my dives between devices? I’d rather not have to plug my dives in twice.

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2022-04-14, version 1.5.3*

This is an excellent app but is still very lacking.
It’s missing the ability to report and filter data.
It’s limited to 130 feet so has limited use for logging tech dives.
It would be nice to have some basic calculations built in ( SAC/RMV, suggested weight)

### 4/5 — Handy but some frustrating limitations

*2022-03-03, version 1.5.3*

Does everything you expect it would and love being able to print out a pdf to prove experience and snapping dive centre stamps is great to back fill dives. Annoyances are: 
- only 32 & 36 EANx options
- locations save for reuse but can’t search user added locations 
- have to add your dive buddy each time even if used before. 
- ditto for dive centre, certifier and diver number. 

Overall handy to have with you at all times but frustrating to mass fill. Import profiles from dive computer would be very handy too.

### 3/5 — App is crashing

*2021-09-29, version 1.5.2*

Hi. I have been using this app since a couple of years and it has been working fine. Since a few weeks the app is crashing after few seconds of its opening and I’m unable to make any new entries.  Please rectify. Thanks

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-08-29, version 1.5.2*

When I first used this app, I logged around 20 dives or so 2  and they disappeared after a few months :-/ so I’ll never use this app again

### 4/5 — Great app but…………….

*2021-08-26, version 1.5.2*

This is a great app. It allows you to log all the details of your dive. I would have given it 5 stars, but unfortunately it doesn’t allow you to upload from your dive computer. Also the ability to access your logs from a desktop computer (Mac and Windows) This is a function that I would happy pay to have. 
DEVELOPERS.
Come on people! Lots of other apps now have the ability to upload dive logs directly from your dive computer as well as an ability to access the logs from a Mac or Windows platform. 
Get this functionality in place, without compromising what you already have and I’ll happily push the lifetime subscription button.  Rather than search for apps that are compatible with my dive computer (Mares Quad btw).

### 4/5 — Great but started crashing recently (Updated review)

*2021-05-08*

I love this app and have been using it for quite a while, but a week ago, whenever I try to access my dive history, the app crashes and shuts down. I don’t know how to access my dives and can’t show it to others... starting to wish I had written them down the old fashioned way - if someone can help me troubleshoot, I’d be forever grateful to get my dive log back.
After emailing the developer, I was able to get my dive log back! Communication was fast, kind, and easy. Very appreciative of the service provided.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for reaching out and we’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing difficulties with the app. Whatever the issue is I’m sure we can sort it out. Could you please send us a mail to helloworld@epic-apps.uk so that we can look into this for you.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-11-28*

I’ve been logging dives for 45 years and this is the worst app ever!  Here’s why:  Can’t sync computer, selections offered are limited, some make no sense (like the wreck/flora/fauna options), only 3 gas options (air, Ean 32, Ean 36).  Tedious to populate.  Not a fun app at all…frustrating and useless for divers wanting to log ACCURATE data and incorporate real computer log info.  I wasted my money.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2025-06-01, version 1.5.3*

I really wish they would update it for the current version of iOS. I used it so much and it was a great app. Only I couple months after I paid for pro life, it stopped working and crashes whenever I try and log a dive

### 1/5 — Lost all dive history

*2024-10-01, version 1.5.3*

I had used this app to log all my dives. I didn’t dive for 3 years as I had a child, and now have gone to check my log and all data is gone. I do not recommend this app - just use the old school booklet instead!

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to Bluetooth

*2024-08-24, version 1.5.3*

Argh

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2024-08-01, version 1.5.3*

The app doesn’t show you how to log in

### 1/5 — Not possible to import dives

*2024-03-04, version 1.5.3*

Not possible to import dives via a divecomputer so useless for me...

### 1/5 — Can’t download from dive computers

*2024-02-16, version 1.5.3*

This app claims to bring dive logging to the 21st century but is unable to download dives from a dive computer…

### 1/5 — Better apps out there

*2023-08-06, version 1.5.3*

This app doesn’t automatically sync with your dive computer which is the standard across all apps. 

Save your time find an app that does sync with your dive computer

### 1/5 — Wanted to Love

*2023-01-06*

I really wanted to love this app. Spent an hour logging all previous dives and paid for Pro. Two hours later went to edit my dive from yesterday and now every time I select any of the icons, the app shuts down. I deleted and reinstalled - but no go. Huge disappointment

### 1/5 — Not a good as you think

*2022-01-28, version 1.5.3*

Deleted all my logs!!!

### 5/5 — Peggy Sheng

*2024-11-29*

I would recommend this app to anyone who still lug around his/her dive book.  This app is easy to use and it’s not too costly.  I joined it for life so no worry about any more payment.  Come and try it out!

### 5/5 — Breathe

*2024-10-02, version 1.5.3*

Awesome App!!!

### 5/5 — Huh?

*2023-05-09, version 1.5.3*

Huh?

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2023-02-06, version 1.5.3*

Is a very good app 
A lot of info to put, but everything is helpful to have data.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-07-21, version 1.5.3*

This is the best scuba dive logging app on the market! Perfect way to track my dives

### 5/5 — Space saver

*2022-03-29, version 1.5.3*

Love this app. It saves travelling with a bulky logbook. If it had a free text search facility in the comments field, I’d give it 6 stars!

### 5/5 — Switched phones

*2021-10-14*

Hello 
The app is great so I bought the pro version. However, I recently switch phones and it doesn’t seem like the app doesn’t show me my previous dives.

**Developer response:** Hi there 👋. Thank you for reaching out and we're sorry to hear about the inconvenience you're facing. Please contact us on helloworld@epic-apps.uk, we'd be very happy to look into this for you.

### 5/5 — Don’t have a problem

*2021-06-29*

It works well and has a lot of customizability to it

### 5/5 — Great, could be better

*2021-06-01*

Great app, only useful thing would be to be able to re-select previous locations instead of dragging the pin back.

### 5/5 — Great intuitive interface

*2021-05-12*

Great program with a intuitive interface. Easy to use making a new dive or logging past dives. Only recommendation is emergency contact information screen for dive staff. Keep up the great work. BEST I HAVE SEEN.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your rating! We are always happy to hear great feedback from our clients. 😃

If you can think of anything that we can do to make your experience using the app better please feel free to contact us!
