Review summary

Users appreciate Dive Planner for simplifying and speeding up recreational dive planning using PADI and SSI tables, finding it better than manual calculations. However, common issues include unit inconsistencies leading to incorrect calculations, problems with surface interval accuracy, and the app losing data if closed prematurely. Users desire improved dive editing, multilevel dive support, and more trustworthy safety warnings. Overall, the app is well-liked but needs refinement to ensure accuracy and better user experience.

Pros

Easy and faster than using traditional dive tables manually
Supports both PADI and SSI dive tables
Simple and user friendly interface
Useful for planning recreational no-decompression dives
Appreciated by users for making dive planning easier

Cons

Incorrect or inconsistent units causing calculation errors (feet vs meters)
Surface interval calculations often incorrect or confusing
Loses dive plan data when app is closed or screen rotation occurs before saving
Limited features for editing dives and no support for multilevel dives
Some safety warnings and calculations (e.g. safety stops) may be inaccurate or always appear

2022-07-27	J *****	My first attempt at planning with this app I input a depth of 40' for 30min. Well within the PADI no decompression limits. Planner told me the depth was too deep or bottom time was too long. Seems the calculations are off. -- EDIT: It does seem that I didn't verify the unit of measure. This could be a safety issue. When entering the parameters of a dive, it would be useful if the app indicated which unit is being input. I changed my rating but still held back one star for that reason.
