## Review summary

Reviewers praise DiveMate for reliable long-term logging and easy cross-device data transfer when a computer is supported. However, major concerns recur: paid data export/transfer, slow or missing support responses, limited support for popular dive computers, occasional data accuracy glitches, and signs of stagnant development. Overall, it’s a solid logbook for users with supported devices, but poses risks for those needing broad device compatibility and active updates.

### Pros

- Reliable cross-device data transfer and long‑term data integrity; logs stay intact when upgrading devices.
- Easy to use interface for logging dives, including quick entry of dive sites and uploading computer data and photos.
- Strong overall dive logging capabilities with a simple, attractive presentation.
- Good compatibility with a range of dive computers when they are listed as supported.
- Keeps your dive history over years with minimal fuss.

### Cons

- Data export/transfer between devices requires paid add-ons and is not clearly disclosed upfront.
- Customer support is slow or unresponsive to emails and inquiries.
- Limited or no support for popular dive computers; newer models often not supported.
- Occasional data accuracy glitches (incorrect depths/temperatures) and transfer issues.
- Perceived abandonment or stagnation—few updates and signs of ongoing development.
