### 3/5 — Good content, but no offline reading

*2024-11-13, version 4.2*

When I travel and dive, I like to have dive magazines to read, but DIVE does not work offline and it’s nearly useless to me when I have limited or no internet much of the time.  It was so frustrating waiting for things to load, then lose internet and couldn’t load.  Had to unsubscribe.  If offline viewing was possible, I’d return immediately!

### 1/5 — No offline support

*2023-12-15, version 4.1*

I want to read magazines when I travel, too bad Dive doesn’t allow offline viewing.

### 1/5 — Eh.

*2023-04-29*

Only 3 Destinations are unlocked as free. Everything else is locked. The advertisement therefore seems misleading.

Not useful unless you are willing to pay money and are an avid world-wide diver. 

The application itself could use a UI update and some bug fixes.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-08-22, version 4.0*

Updated the app and now can’t access my subscription. App prompts for a Username & Password which don’t exist as I subscribed through apple. Utterly useless!

### 2/5 — Worst download manager of any app

*2019-12-27, version 3.4*

This is a great magazine and I’m an annual subscriber through the app. The magazine's content is great and that’s the reason I am still a subscriber despite the asinine episode download capabilities. 

You have to be actually reading a magazine to download it, if you navigate away from the  current issue to queue another or out of the app, it suspends the download. This makes downloading multiple issues time consuming and frustrating. It's awful. In addition, the download speeds even on my lightning fast internet are slow. It’s been years now and the developers have never looked to improve this feature - about time please.

### 5/5 — 구매목록 삭제 부탁합니다.

*2016-05-04, version 3.0*

### 5/5 — Best Diving magazine !!!

*2016-03-27, version 2.3*

For sure top magazine in Diving experience...!!

### 2/5 — Not bad room for improvement though

*2016-03-21, version 2.5*

DONT DOWNLOAD IT! Hasn't been updated since Nov/Dec 2015! Note there are NO new articles since then.

### 2/5 — Ok...but not great for person on go

*2015-10-08, version 2.3*

My main issue is the app says it will download "for later viewing when offline" but it never works. After downloading an issue and confirming it's completed, the issue is never there when I return to app. I fly a lot and is especially frustrating. Ams it sea,s when the internet is slow, it gives up and shuts down.  There are some issues that no matter what, I can't read...app just crashes. Other than that, the publication, based on the issues I can read, is great.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2015-10-01, version 2.5*

I've been reading for a year now.  Great magazine with fantastic photography.
