Still worse than the original app
After ALL this time, how is it still worse than the original app?
Current worst complaint: app won’t open without internet. So you can’t upload your dives and make notes while on most liveaboards.
Literally just having a pen and paper works better than this app.

Um, terrible
I absolutely love my Shearwater dive computers but this app is an abomination. I can emphasize enough how awful this app is you can’t delete a dive, import dives that aren’t on your computer and just the general use of the app is terrible.
Come on Shearwater get your act together on this one.

Good and I am sure it will get better
With all the harsh reviews I thought I’d add a more positive experience. Just returned from 17 dives and 4 of us logged them all with this app from our Peregrine TX. Overall the app is a great start. Sure there are some bugs here and there but we found a few work arounds to get our complete logs in just fine and it wasn’t that difficult. Looking forward to what Shearwater does with this as I am confident they will make this a great experience.

Need to stick with Shearwater Cloud
The only feature lacking from the prior app was mapping/location. This app loses so much functionality to merely add mapping capabilities. This is completely unusable and should be scrapped.
Disappointed
So disappointed. My first dive with my Peregrine TX was great and everything sync’d fine. Two dives the next day and the recorded dive location is 1000 miles away and doesn’t match either the entry or exit coordinates. Where/how does the app obtain dive location? Why wouldn’t it use either of those locations. My 4th dive didn’t record location but my 5th dive did. Downloaded to the app and it lost the 5th dive’s log number. Start and entry time are completely wrong. Just a lot of data corruption. So disappointed to see my log book getting corrupted after spending $1200 on it.

So Bad
Why did you switch?? The cloud version was SOOOOO much better than this. It’s pretty unusable. The iPad app is terrible. The phone app is terrible. You can navigate to anything or really find anything. Please improve.
Computer is great, App is NOT
Shearwater, please please please find a person or team to completely overhaul your app. It is not user friendly at all and there are a million ways to improve the app experience with all of the amazing data that you can download off of the Peregrine. The computer is top of the line, but the app might be the worst one I’ve seen. I look forward to the day when I get a notification that there is an app overhaul and I can download the new experience. Looking forward to it!!!

Good app after recent improvements
The app had a few annoying bugs when initially launched, but think Shearwater has done a good job on sorting most of them out.
There are still a few things that could be improved, such as full screen graph, but I know they are working hard on constantly improving so I’m sure we’ll see me useful features in the near future.

export to PDF
We hope it can revert to the previous version, so that dive logs can be exported as PDF files for easy printing.
Better… Improvements
The last few updates have been better.
Not very intuitive
I switched over from another integrated computer system that provided SAC and RMV in your log but find the app impossible to navigate to see it. Also, as an Instructor I would like an easier way to put it in pool mode for teaching confined water. When I go for a real dive, cleaning up the junk dives takes quite a while. On my Garmin I can tell my computer to ignore those dives. Might have to stop teaching with the Perdix 2 because I went to clear the log, deleted the junk dives, and renumbered them appropriately. However, once I do that, it isn’t easy to discern why the next log number goes to whatever the count was going to be if the junk dives were included. It’s a step up from Cloud but the promises made at Dema this year haven’t been realized yet. I’d love for this to be my go to system but I need a clear log and would love SAC and RMV info

Bug-Filled App
What a disgrace for a company that makes exceptional diving hardware to release a software app of such poor quality. The sync to Shearwater Cloud is random and incomplete only downloading my first 13 dives. When pressing the sync button it falsely claims data is downloading. If you start to complete a page and have to pause it clears when swapping screens.
Pure junk

Hello, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. What you’re describing with incomplete sync and the app not retaining entries isn’t expected behavior.

If you’re open to it, please reach out to us at info@shearwater.com and we’ll be happy to help.
Even worse that Cloud
I would not download unless you absolutely must. Terrible app. Prob better on a phone, but those of us using ipads to access will suffer. App cannot deal with the new iOS 26 features and is not user friendly at all.
Very bad app
The former app Shearwater Cloud was bad but at least it worked, for some reason Shearwater make the best dive computers around but the worst apps, it would’ve been nice if you could easily manage your dives but somehow all my dives are doubled and it’s a pita to delete the doubles, i have to select them one by one, hit edit, the delete the dive but sometimes the edit button doesn’t work and i’m stuck on a blank page

Moving from 1 to 2 ⭐️ this update
They just updated their app and it did two things for me. 1- the default sort view is now dive# and not GPS. You can filter GPS, but as most of my dives are without coordinates, defaulting to dive number is helpful. And 2- I can now manually enter GPS coordinates for dives that I know them for.
I would still stick with the old Shearwater Cloud App unless you have the new Swift GPS for now, but they are making improvements.
My primary log is still a third party app. Cloud version would be second. And this app third.

Hello, thanks for the detailed feedback, we’re glad to hear the new sorting and manual GPS entry are improvements for you. We hope we can raise your rating even more as we work on this app.
Can’t log any dives
Whenever I try to add a dive, the app says to retry. What’s the point of a dive logging app when it can’t even do this? Why release it?
Full of bugs
The app doesn’t work at all without an internet connection, which is a major limitation—especially for divers who are often offline.
Editing dive details is unreliable: changing something simple like a dive name or location can unexpectedly modify multiple dives, leading to lost or incorrect information.
Synchronization is also inconsistent. When a sync fails, some dives disappear and there’s no way to recover or re-sync them.

Generally good, with an annoying glitch
Having a consistent problem; after syncing the app with the watch, all the data loads fine. Then when I edit the individual dive names and numbers, later on I find that a name assigned to a single dive replaced the name on several dives. I fix it, and it happens again. Also, a deleted dive can reappear

Hello, we want to sincerely apologize for the issues many of you experienced during our original launch. We know how frustrating that can be, and we truly appreciate your patience while we worked through them. If you’re still experiencing problems after updating, please reach out to us at info@shearwater.com and we’ll be happy to help get things sorted.
Needs a lot of work
There are a lot of bugs. Once I look at a dive, I am unable to go to any other dive without shutting down the entire app. I cannot find where to upload pictures of my dives. While my dives transferred over from shearwater cloud, the app does not feel intuitive at all.
Response from developer
Hello, thanks for the feedback, we’re sorry to hear you’re running into these issues. We’re aware of navigation bugs when viewing dives and are actively working to improve stability and flow between logs. We also hear you on the overall usability, and making the app more intuitive is a key focus for us. Regarding photos, this is currently in development and being actively discussed as part of upcoming improvements. We appreciate you taking the time to share this, it really helps us prioritize what to fix next.
Latest release is better, but still terrible.
Still major issues with changing name of dive location. When reviewing dives it takes you back to the top of the list after you exit a dive so searching through multiple older dives is a huge pain. My wife used gps from my transmitter and for some reason her “pins” are in Africa when mine are correct.
Very unpolished and disappointing “upgrade”, although still feels less 1980’s than shearwater cloud. The terrible apps pit a dark cloud over the experience. The hardware is amazing, but the software doesn’t match the experience. Time to fire the software team and start over.
