Apart from that, not too bad ### 3/5 — Crashes frequently *2017-05-13, version 2.0.2* The questions seem good, at least as far as I've been able to proceed. I get quite a bit of freezing or crashing with this app (the paid version) on iPhone. ### 4/5 — Great App – NAUI option included *2016-05-10, version 2.0.0* New version is great. • Some first-class improvements, including materials and quizes for different certifying outfits, like NAUI. • Added bonus: dive-table problems/solutions. • Great way to review the fundamentals, and stay sharp. ### 3/5 — Reporting a bug *2015-05-08, version 1.0.6* Looks like a great app, unfortunately the support and updates seem to have ceased, which is sad. So much more potential. The "App Support" link is dead, and so is the website, so I'll have to report a bug in this review: Entering any definition within the "Terms & Expressions" at least twice will consistently crash the app. Using iPhone 5S, iOS 8.3. I hope this can be fixed, since I did pay money for this app. ### 4/5 — Good review!! *2015-01-27, version 1.0.6* Good review even for certified divers. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-11-20, version 1.0.6* I love it. ### 5/5 — Useful and fun to use *2014-04-22, version 1.0.6* Very useful. As noted in other reviews, not everything is exactly as I learned it from PADI, but then not everyone gets trained by PADI, and it's good to be aware of that when diving away from home base. I enjoy using the app. ### 4/5 — No dive tables *2014-03-12, version 1.0.6* Great app... Only problem is there is no way to take the dive table quiz because there is no dive tables. ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2013-11-14, version 1.0.6* I really love this app. It helps you prepare for your scuba diving certification and it also serves as a refresher of the scuba diving theories and regulations. It has a theory quiz and dive table quiz which help you test your knowledge on Scuba Diving. I personally love it and recommend it to everyone that takes diving seriously. ### 4/5 — Great study guide *2013-06-12, version 1.0.6* Nice App. Correlates with PADI material nicely. Hand signals a little difficult to interrupt pictures ### 4/5 — Scuba exam *2013-04-05, version 1.0.6* This is a great app! Easy to use, great photos and excellent format and explanations. ### 4/5 — Great app, but... *2013-03-31, version 1.0.6* ...they need to have a tab that lists the entire battery of test questions for study. After taking the exams for days, new questions keep popping up. ### 5/5 — Great Help *2013-03-01, version 1.0.6* Just passed advanced PADI course, and this was a great help. Invaluable for my Open Water course, kept my brain ticking over! ### 5/5 — Great- Even for Certified Divers *2013-02-05, version 1.0.6* Great app. Even if you are a certified diver this is a great app for continuing education and keeping your knowledge set fresh. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great App. If you are new to scuba this is the app for you! *2013-01-03, version 1.0.6* Great app. Used this alongside the online PADI open water certification learning. Very consistent with PADI and will be a great refresher. ### 5/5 — Please update for iPhone 5 *2012-12-31, version 1.0.6* Very good app. I recommend it to anyone that is planning to take the PADI open water exam or who wants a refresher. But please update for the iPhone 5 screen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mr *2015-08-17, version 1.0.6* This app keeps crushing when you use it. Needs update to fix trouble. Please fix this app. ### 1/5 — Needs update! *2015-04-14, version 1.0.6* Keeps crashing when trying to access the app. We need an update ASAP ### 1/5 — No No No *2012-03-11, version 1.0.3* Not all information is correct according to PADI. Be aware if planing on getting PADI Certified. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2012-02-01, version 1.0.3* Very annoying when you complete the 50 question scuba quiz and the app then crashes - positive is good way of testing knowledge please sort out the bugs ### 2/5 — Not really worth paying for *2023-02-04, version 4.0.0* Questions don’t really match the SSI open water course, random quizzes and completed tests show up in the history. Not really worth buying. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2017-07-01, version 2.0.2* App crashes a lot and has a lot of bugs. ### 2/5 — Good... But *2012-06-11, version 1.0.5* Good, could be great but constantly crashes, so ends up being a poor experience... ### 2/5 — Crashes frequently *2012-01-26, version 1.0.3* Crashes frequently at the end of quizzes. Metric conversion is often inaccurate. Questions are not as clear as those in the Padi exams. ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing! *2012-01-21, version 1.0.3* It keeps crashing! Especially if you are doing a bigger test, finish it then press yes and it crashes! Very frustrating and a waste of money! ### 2/5 — Crashes when you try to see your results. *2012-01-07, version 1.0.3* Crashes every time when you try to see your test results. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic resource. *2022-12-01, version 4.0.0* I’ve used this app for years, more than a decade probably. I go long spells between dives and regularly need to refresh my scuba knowledge. I’ve always been disappointed by how guarded the big Scuba organizations are with their educational information. I understand that they need to make some money but it seems counterintuitive to hide basic scuba safety skills behind a paywall. bravo for this app. ### 5/5 — Great review *2022-09-18, version 4.0.0* I have enjoyed scuba exam for quite a while. I appreciate the updates and the explanations it’s a great way to study and review. Thank you scuba exam for a great product ### 5/5 — Great *2019-04-29, version 3.0.2* Awesome way to review and study ### 5/5 — Very good for starter and intermediate *2019-02-01, version 3.0.1* If the developers read this, please include an advanced version. There used to be an app that tested you on figuring out SAC rates, dissimilar tank sizes/fills, how to calculate lift needed on object- for both salt and fresh water. This is great for divemasters and tech diver training. Also tank expansion in F or C for set temp change, both in bar and in psi. The app i used never got updated and is long gone ( plus had some errors ). It would be great if you can fill this niche. Also turn pressure of 2 divers with different sac rates with dissimilar tank sizes. Knowing how to figure this out could save lives. ### 5/5 — Great App for confirming / refreshing knowledge *2018-06-25, version 2.1.2* I enjoy using this App, it achieves its objective - well done! Great fun using the dive tables again - the dive computers do make us lazy. In my view it’s still really important to remember how to properly use the tables. ### 5/5 — Outstanding Content! *2017-08-04, version 2.0.2* The content in this app is great for newbies or seasoned divers. All the custom settings for each quiz are really neat too. Being able to choose which agency you are certified with is awesome. I think one of the coolest things is the explanations to each question and a large theory section for even more knowledge. Awesome app! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-03-21, version 2.0.2* User friendly! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-10-24, version 2.0.2* I have a friend who is interested in learning to dive. She was stressing out over the dive tables. This app allows her to take dive table tests and confirm to her that she does understand it. It has been a nice review for me too and I have been a divemaster for 25 years. ### 5/5 — Simple and Effective *2015-08-17, version 1.0.6* It was a great format to test knowledge and correct deficiencies before the final exam. Plus, I expect it will be helpful as a refresher before the next excursion / vacation. To that end, it would be great if future versions of the app had an option to send periodic alerts asking a random question just to keep me on my toes. ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2015-03-05, version 1.0.6* Haven't taken my test yet but so ready because of this amazing app!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
