### 1/5 — No pairing with OSTC+

*2024-08-18, version 1.30*

I tried for hours to pair my OSTC+ with my iPhone, without success. While the app finds the OSTC through Bluetooth, it never manages to establish the connection.

### 3/5 — Ok mais est-ce bien utile ?

*2022-01-28, version 1.30*

Pour moi elle fonctionne bien 
Elle permet entre autre la mise à jour du firmware ok
Mais pourquoi ne pas y inclure l’extraction des plongées et constituer un carnet pour exploiter courbes de décompression ?

### 1/5 — Pas intéressant

*2021-09-10, version 1.2.5*

Je ne trouve pas l’application intéressante pour moi.
L’application plante avec mon ostc sport, dommage.

### 1/5 — Parameter Error ... is nix gut 🤔😢😢

*2020-10-12, version 1.2.5*

... muss ich so leider auf dem ostc lesen. 🤔
die app schmiert sofort nach dem vebinden mit dem ostc ab und der braucht eine gefühlte ewigkeit um sich aus dieser misslichen lage zu befreien. ist hier nachbesserung angedacht oder gar schon licht am ende des tunnels zu sehen?

### 5/5 — Perfekt!

*2020-05-28, version 1.2.5*

Einfach, übersichtlich, gut: 
Seit dem Update klappt‘s auch mit meinem „OSTC Sport“ und mit iOS 13.5 !!  👌👌👌DANKE Euch!

### 5/5 — Ideal

*2020-05-27, version 1.2.5*

Funktioniert einwandfrei und die 1.2.5 verbindet sich jetzt auch sehr zuverlässig mit iOS 13.4 und den aktuellen OSTC sport!

### 1/5 — OSTC sport

*2020-01-21, version 1.2.4*

Leider ohne Funktion!

### 1/5 — Plante sur iPhone 6s

*2019-12-05, version 1.2.4*

Plantage et connexion impossible
OSTC sport version 10.63

### 2/5 — Keine Verbindung zu OSTC Sport

*2019-11-21, version 1.2.4*

aktueller OSTC Sport wird durch Prog zwar gefunden, aber die Verbindung erfolgt nicht - wie bei vielen anderen auch - kann das nicht behoben werden...???

### 1/5 — Bluetooth nicht möglich

*2019-09-29, version 1.2.4*

Findet zwar hin und wieder den Rechner mit einer kryptischen Bezeichnung, jedoch bei Anklicken „ Verbinden“ passiert nichts und nach 4 Minuten schaltet sich der Modus aus. Update deshalb nicht durchführbar.
Warum benutzt man kein Wlan oder Infrarot wie ZB der Galileo von Scubapro ?.
Benutze Geräte: Iphone 5s und Ipad Air.
Da diese Probleme schon länger bestehen, wäre eine Information des Entwicklers angebracht.
Dazu fällt auch auf, dass der Companion sich nicht auf allen Windows Plattformen installieren lässt und Bluetooth die gleichen Probleme macht.
Also bitte:
Welche IOS Version und welches Gerät soll man verwenden .
Welche Windows Versionen und welchen Blutooth Adapter oder welchen Windows PC ?
