Shearwater Cloud

This app does the most important thing it has to do… download dives from your computer even when far from the internet. Something so many other apps seem to struggle with! But the UI is so clunky and lacking features that could make it a true replacement for a paper dive log. (Integrated photos? Link to buddies? Some kind of virtual stamp?) There’s a lot of opportunity for someone to make a truly great digital dive log but no one has done it yet!

Lots of complaints about this app. For me, it does what I want reliably. More focused on the technical aspects of diving than say what marine species i saw but that’s a small thing. The synchronization with the desktop works well and functions like import and export there are pretty good although more focused on export than import so it can be hard to get dives in from previous apps. People complain about the UI but no worse and in some ways better than the UI for Dive Log for example or Subsurface, 2 of the other remaining dive log applications that haven’t died. I travel the world a fair amount diving and it works well enough tracking the gear i’m using so i can keep track of what weights to use. Not as full featured for gear management, shops, marine life, etc as other aps. Mostly it’s focused on the technical aspects of diving and how it relates to your dive computer.

I have multiple Shearwater products and absolutely love the computers. The app is glitchy and doesn’t work well with iOS anything. I do most of my work on an iPad and the app is almost useless for everything but the basic viewing. I can’t sort by the various tags and other items on the iPad. Compared to other online and cloud apps, I wish Shearwater would bring the app up the impeccable standards of all their amazing dive computers!
