Doesn’t work
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.…

This is great for tracking dives
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!

Will not sync with macdive for osx
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.
Developer does not support updates.
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.
Excellent App
Still my primary app that I use. Thank you for a great app
Doesn’t work for Suunto eon core
iPhone 16 pro iOS 25 Eon core running 4.0. Will not sync with eon core and will not import dives. $9 lost
Amazing App
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!

Great App
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.
Been using this for 10 years
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.
The best dive log app!!!
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!!!
Seamless transfer of dives from OSTC computer
I was delighted with how easy it was to upload my dives from the DC. Just put it in Bluetooth mode and checked the phone was seeing it. Then I hit ‘import’ and selected my DC - all done.
I am a little suspicious of the persistence of the connection between my iPhone and the DC (too persistent?). I left the app running in the background for a week with the DC in the same room and the DC battery went flat. I’m going to watch the DC this week and make sure the App is not running. I’ll edit this review if I get more information.

Excellent dive logging software
I have been using MacDive for a couple of years, and it does everything I need - great logging of dives with all the info I want, compatible with my Perdix dive computers, syncs with iCloud so that I can simply log with my iPhone after diving, and add more info on my iPad or my Mac afterwards. A real pleasure to use.

Works well and great support for all these years
I bought the app when it was for desktop only, gradually the developer added iOS version and support iCloud sync. The list of compatible new dive computers keeps growing, glad to have a developer who really supports the dive community.
Great App
I’ve been using the app for a number of years. I love having my logs at my fingertips. I sync my computer right at the dive site so I can capture the site location via GPS.
Fantastic Dive Log
I have been using first the Mac version and now the iOS version of MacDive for about 10 years. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. The iCloud support is smooth and seamless between iOS devices and my Mac. I love the Bluetooth import, it makes downloading logs quick and painless. Thank you for creating and maintaining such a great product.

Great all, but missing a vital component for iOS
I have been using this app for the past six months. I love how it tracks and sorts my dives, and tracks my equipment and servicing for each item.
It is missing one vital component for iOS that prevents me as an instructor from recommending this to my students: the ability to print your dive logs from iOS.
I utilize an iPad Pro exclusively for my work, and being able to record and retain my student dive logs as well as mine requires me to transfer the data to another app to print, and then I cannot sort specific dives. Spending another $1200+ on a Mac is not a solution.
While I love the app and have everything loaded, I am looking for a replacement that also allows me to print.

Nothing else is as good as MacDive
Superb app. I’ve tried every dive log software there is and they are all terribly written and feel like they were made 20 years ago by amateurs. MacDive is modern, professional, powerful, easy to use, comprehensive, and very well supported. Seriously, nothing else comes close.
Don't work with Oceanic pro plus 4
Don't waste money and time with this dive log software, don't work with oceanic pro plus 4 and the support don't have knowledge enough to fix, is more than year alredy talking with support and never fixed
Amazing Support
Technically I’m writing about my experience with her companion desktop app, but it is all one family.
Support for these apps is phenomenal!
I just purchased the app after having received the necessary hardware to connect my dive computer to my MacBook. But it didn’t work. I contacted support last night and have been working throughout the day with them to get it working. Fast response; clear instructions on what to try and what information they needed; and in the end the problem was fixed. Turns out the dive computer vendor changed their cable which required some tweaks.
Definitely worth paying for when you get friendly and effective support.

Best Diving app on Mac or iDevices
This app is fantastic! Our family has been using it for numerous years now and it keeps getting better and better. Using Bluetooth with three of our dive computers we can load dives onto any of our devices (iPhone, iPad mini, or MacBook) easily and quickly; then share the information between the devices. Or load the data to the Mac using a data transfer cord and then share to other devices.
The gear, critter, and location management is very easy. I love having the ability to see photos marked at the location in the dive profile where they were taken.
