It even has a journal to record your dives whereas before this app was created you had to manually log the dives yourself. ### 4/5 — Nice tools *2026-06-08, version 1.51.1* I love the knots, log book and signals, but elearning is a little slow to load and navigate. Though the content is 🤘 ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-17, version 1.51.0* Excellent app to learn, log dives and maintain your cert cards. ### 5/5 — New to Diving, but app is helpful! *2026-05-17, version 1.51.0* I’ve just completed my Open Water Diver Certification after two weekends of training. I downloaded the app prior to the start of weekend #2 events per my instructor’s advice. I say that to say it’s a very easy to navigate and user-friendly app that I’d recommend to anyone new to the hobby, or has been analog on the dive log up to now. Can’t wait to add more Recreational Dives to my new eLog! ### 5/5 — Scuba open water & fun dives *2026-05-09, version 1.50.9* It was an amazing experience doing Scuba Open Water course and 2 days of fun dives with Submariner Diving Centre in El Nido. ### 5/5 — It’d really good *2026-04-17, version 1.50.9* I have no troubles with this app its reliable and easy to use the sign ups super easy ### 4/5 — ecards *2026-04-16, version 1.50.9* Having access to adding certain to ecards would be huge! ### 5/5 — Quick turn around *2026-04-10, version 1.50.9* Rapid processing of the E Card for my kids, take a picture and save it in your favorites ### 2/5 — Unstable junk *2026-04-04, version 1.50.9* I’ve now lost several years of diving logs to this horrible app. It’s a great platform for selling you custom cards and widgets but it’s a waste of time storing information on. Despite updating the app, even deleting and reloading it in desperation, all my years of data are now gone. Don’t trust this junk ### 5/5 — App *2026-03-31, version 1.50.8* Love this app amazing design ### 4/5 — Things I’d like to see. *2026-03-27, version 1.50.8* The app over all is great. I do wish it included more features and functionality supported dive computer integration. Basically the ability to connect and download dive computer data to your dive log. I do use it for my dive log but I noticed several of our new students tend to lean towards programs that are more integrated. If they had their dives no the app it allow instructors to see how many dives they had more easily. To help judge just how much help the may or may not need. Also help with allowing instructors or guides know important milestones. I.E. 50, 100, 200 dives, so dives could be planned and give them the notoriety they’d appreciate. Also if instructors could have access to view only students dive logs with the students permission of course, without having to have access to the students account. ### 4/5 — Solid app but missing Apple Wallet integration *2026-03-02, version 1.50.6* App works fine. PADI (and SSI) are the standards for diving. Only obvious issue is the lack of Apple Wallet support for eCards. ### 5/5 — Good app:) *2026-03-02, version 1.50.6* App is good able to log dives easily I just wish you could learn on the app but wutevs ### 5/5 — Apple Wallet please *2026-02-26, version 1.50.6* The one outstanding upgrade would be the ability to add certain cards to the Apple wallet!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2026-08-03, version 1.51.1* App loops endlessly or crashes. Cannot load ID pic from camera roll. Cannot store e card in wallet. 2026 pricing for 2008 tech. ### 1/5 — High rating has to be fake *2026-03-02, version 1.50.6* This app is awful. It’s super buggy and it’s obvious based on the terrible reviews. All of them 1-3 stars. PADI is also a predatory organisation. If you got your certifications years ago, you don’t get a ecard unless you pay them. How does that make sense? I have my physical cards and a photo on my phone, which is accepted everywhere. I just thought it’d be convenient to have them on the app for quick access, but no. It shows my certifications, but no ecards. I get them charging for replacements of physical cards as those have an extra cost plus shipping. But ecards? I already paid for my certification. The shop paid them their dues. And they want more money. I don’t think I’ll do any more certifications with PADI. Luckily there are a ton of options. ### 1/5 — No iPad version *2026-02-04, version 1.50.3* No iPad version ### 1/5 — Frozen on iOS 18.5 *2025-08-04, version 1.48.3* It worked fine for years but now on iOS 18.5 it seems to be frozen every time I open it and is unusable. ### 1/5 — Lost *2025-07-19, version 1.48.3* E cards ### 1/5 — フリーズします *2025-07-19* アップデート後に開いたら、トップ画面でフリーズ状態になってしまいます。 ログの画面を開くことができないので、ログの確認やログ付けが出来ず、とても困っています。 **Developer response:** ご不便をおかけして大変申し訳ございません。 アプリを再インストールして開いていただいても、回復しない場合はデータの障害が発生している可能性がございますので、お手数ですが以下のお問い合わせフォームより、ご連絡をいただけますと幸いです。 何卒よろしくお願いいたします。 PADI お問い合わせフォーム（日本国内のお客様用）→ https://www.padi.co.jp/scuba-diving/digital-products/inquiry/ ### 1/5 — Offline sync never works *2025-07-18, version 1.48.3* I have my eLearning and a bunch of green check marks on offline in the app, I did all the work on a plane. Online I have some blue marks even after it syncs and I have to redo all the work. This should be a core basic feature that actually works. Also you can tell nobody at PADI actually uses this app on a boat after a dive to log your dives because it doesn’t work properly offline (on a boat with no network) or in network environments where the cellular almost works (the app just hangs trying to figure out if it has network or not). This could be great if PADI spent time actually using it instead of shipping slopware. ### 1/5 — How is this highly rated?? *2025-05-27, version 1.47.0* I do not understand why this isn’t a 1 star app. I just got certified last week. I went to the app to buy a physical card. I’ve hit that button 3000 times, crashed the app over and over and tried again, and nothing. Then the app asks if I’m enjoying my experience. I hit “no” and it asks if I want to give feedback and that redirects me to web page saying I don’t have access to give feedback. This app is trash. ### 1/5 — Issue with Exard *2025-05-20, version 1.47.0* It won’t allow me on the app to purchase my id card. ### 1/5 — Not useful *2025-05-12, version 1.47.0* This is a useless app! If you took a course that is NOT a scuba diving course don’t install it. The entire structure of the app is based for scuba diving. Pointless app to have on the phone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love diving *2026-08-25, version 1.51.1* Live laugh dive ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-08-24, version 1.51.1* I think the app works great. I would have given 5 stars but I really would like to be able to print the optional coarse reviews & study guides. I was unable to take the quiz from that section because I needed to visually see the dice table and I could not. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-19, version 1.51.1* I just got open water and it’s helped me a lot I mean it. I suggest it to everyone even if you aren’t paid certified. ### 5/5 — Seemless *2026-08-14, version 1.51.1* Everything you need to know to go below! ### 5/5 — It is a good application *2026-08-01, version 1.51.1* I like this app I am an robot I like tortillas also ### 5/5 — PADI *2026-07-25, version 1.51.1* My adventure with padi was amazing and I got my certification and my license ### 5/5 — ок *2026-07-23, version 1.51.1* ну как бы функцию выполняет, сделано красиво и есть вся нужная теория👍 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-14, version 1.51.1* Very good, fast and syncs with the website. ### 5/5 — Best scuba diving school *2026-07-11, version 1.51.1* All perfect ### 5/5 — PADI=GOOD *2026-07-06, version 1.51.1* I got my PADI JOW only a while ago, and the app makes it easy to log my dives, and I really enjoy diving. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
