Cool idea, just like when Deep Blu did literally the same thing. Will check back, because it's absolutely useless without support for importing dive logs from other apps and dive computers or at the very least exported log files. Only people who get paid to be here will bother manually entering all their data, and that makes it a cesspool.

Clean, intuitive UI and key primary features available for free (ex. connected logins, social feed, dive log, certs, buddy finder). Sensible features behind a paywall to fund the hard work behind building these features! Off to a great start. From one Mobile developer (and hobbyist diver) to another -- can't wait to see where else the devs take this moving forward. :) Looking forward to planning some future dive trips.

Love the app. Best interface out of all the other apps out there. Has social integrations and diving community interactions. Since this is a new app, bluetooth dive computer downloads are still missing. Hopefully they will also add possibility to import/export dive log formats from other popular apps such as Subsurface (which is open source) or Diving Log 6.0 on Windows (app also). Having a backup to GoogleDrive or DropBox of the dive log would be great in case development ceases.
