Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Asian Diver at 4.0 against DiverLog+'s 2.5. DiverLog+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Asian Diver sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. DiverLog+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Asian Diver holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DiverLog+ has 111 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Asian Diver's written reviews are positive against 19% of DiverLog+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Asian Diver ships an update every 8 months, DiverLog+ every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
