### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-20*

I have attempted to get this to sync for days now and actually for weeks at multiple points. I have attempted getting support from both the forum on their website as well as directly from MacDive.   All to no avail.   I’ve tried reinstalling it after deleting it, and it simply doesn’t even ask for my Dropbox information and tries to sync anyway.  While this is a great desktop version on my iMac or MacBook, it simply does not work on the iPhone.…

### 5/5 — This is great for tracking dives

*2026-06-10*

I use a shearwater Teric. Recently shearwater for some reason has decided to replace their app. But they left off a bunch of things they had added to the old app. I find the new shearwater app to be unwieldy and awkward and not intuitive to enter data. So I hunted and tried different dive log apps until I found this one. It’s great! I can add locations easily, add dive tripes, use multiple tags on dives, set up gear profiles so I don’t have to re enter my usual setups. And the exports and stats are great. Live this app! Good job!

### 1/5 — Will not sync with macdive for osx

*2026-03-16*

I purchased only for the purpose of syncing with macdive for osx hoping that the iOS version would sync with my peregrine dive computer. The osx version claims it syncs but they fail to talk to each other as well. Very disappointed with both versions.

### 3/5 — Developer does not support updates.

*2026-01-28*

I have been using the app for 5+ years love the app and it features layouts. But the developer has gone quiet and has not been updating support. I wish the developer world sell it to someone that would continue support on a regular basis. I know someone would buy it.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2025-12-25*

Still my primary app that I use. Thank you for a great app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for Suunto eon core

*2025-10-14, version 1.4.13*

iPhone 16 pro iOS 25   Eon core running 4.0. Will not sync with eon core and will not import dives. $9 lost

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2025-07-24*

I bought this so many years ago… I can’t even remember. I have over 200 dives logged and still use it to this day. What is most impressive is that the developer continues to update this app even after 10 years. It links with my EOS dive computer to automatically input dive info. The dive location is automatically added as well. It has an option to track your movement on the surface, ideal for tracking the path the boat took to get to the dive site. I would buy this app again and have recommended to friends and family to buy it for themselves. Everyone I have recommended it to has thanked me because it is awesome!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-06-27*

This is a great app that works with most computers.  I like the map feature showing all the places I have dove on the world map.  I also like that it syncs with the app on my Mac book as well.

### 5/5 — Been using this for 10 years

*2024-12-21*

Great app.  I have upgrades dive computers a few time but always sync them to Mac dive. Has been great I only wish they would update more often and native support the garmin.

### 5/5 — The best dive log app!!!

*2024-08-04*

Love this app and the versatility that it has.  Syncs well with all of my dive computers via Bluetooth and backs up to cloud and my computer easily.  I can keep as much or as little info as I want and can track my wife and kids logs easily too! Seriously my favorite!!!
