iScuba Plan App Reviews

For divers, by divers

This app is absolutely outstanding! I still use my eRDPml when planning multi-level dives, as this app doesnt yet do that. (If it did, Id be hard pressed to use my eRDP or plastic tables as anything more than backup) With that said, I also found the TideGraph app to be awesome company with this one, and recommend both to all my diving friends. To the creators of this app, thank you!

Great for enhanced air and/or multiple dives!

Just completed the PADI Nitrox course, and downloaded the paid version of IScuba. This will make life a lot easier!!! Also, dont overlook this tool even if you just dive air. The multiple dive planner works for air, enhanced air, and any combination and since it displays all of the dives, you can tweak one and see how it will effect the others. A really terrific tool.

ISCUBA

Ok so i thought this would be a good tool to have, but i started to compare my dive numbers with the ones that this program gives out and there is a lot of inconsistencies, i am not sure what the problem is but compared the the RDP for EANX 32 none of the numbers seem to be correct, Try it an someone tell me if it is just me that is doing something wrong.

great program

I like this program alot. Now I just have to worry about getting my phone wet !!! Its so easy to use and well put together..

Excelent app butt..

You need to put 35 ft full data and the padi RDP meters data is diferent...

has a couple of hickup

had a few hickups on 2 dives where the program failed to compute the residual nitrogen. 1st dive 18 ft for 21 min. end presure group "C", SI of 1:10 presure group "A" 2nd dive 15 ft for 31 min final presure group "H". The App figured the 2nd with a final preasure group of "E" it failed to add the residual nitrogen of 10 to the actual bottom time.

Need a way to communicate with developer ...suggestions

The interface look, feel, and operation are very slick. That being said, for the money the developer needs to take this to the next level. That would include the ability to save settings, save planned series of dives, coordinate and compare with real dive data to enter to log book, allow user to see and adjust settings as you would a dive computer in planning mode, etc......just my opinion

Great Look and Feel but......

Love the usability of this app. but there is one problem I find disconcerting. The surface interval function only allows you to input an approximation of your surface interval as it does not give you an accurate reading (to the minute) of what you are entering. Bearing in mind that 15 minutes either way can put you in a pressure group 3 groups away from where you actually are. If this is then compounded by multiple dives the result could be DANGEROUSLY inaccurate. Adding a to the minute display would also allow student divers to use this impressive looking app. (assuming that it gives the same numbers as the actual rdp, which I have not checked yet). I teach many students and feel this could be a real asset, but has this one SEVERE limitation. If this were fixed I would unreservedly recommend this app but as it is now I recommend it but with strong caution and advise you that if you use it, to check your numbers against a PADI RDP, e(RDP) or nitrox tables (which kinda defeats the purpose of having this app in the first place). P.S. Try adding a minimum surface interval feature, then this really would be a dive planning Powerhouse.

Very good App!!!

This app is probably the most useful of apps Ive purchased. It is easy to use and is a good teaching tool. I agree with another review, there should be a way to save plan profiles. I recieved a call while working with it and lost what I had done. The only other thing Im not undestanding is why the "Group" doesnt carry to the next dive as the starting group. I must be missing something. Im going to do a manual calculation of simulation dives and see how it works out. All in all good job guys this will come in handy.

Great app

This app is a great for double checking, and multiple dive planning. Could use a save dive feature, but still worth the money for an app that you put alot of trust in!

Good app

Very simple to use, only reccomendation I would make would be to mark the depth and time sliders accordingly in a future version. Easy to figure out if you watch what gets adjusted, but would be nice to clearly know which one you are adjusting. Excellent planner though, better than carrying a seperate eRDP when we already have the phone.

Data not Matching

Dive times do not match Padi RDP. I thought this app was based on Padi tables. This app gives more conservative times especially on repetitive dives.

Perfect for my dives

I lost my dive log and dive wheel. So instead of buying another I just bought the app and I got Dive Log to go with it. Now if I lose my phone at least my dives are backed up.

Time

Only goes to 75 minutes.

Over priced

Doesnt let you start with last dive letter for second and third dive.. Im a new diver expected to be able to do multiple dives accurately ... Very disappointed...

Dangerous

I used this app to determine PG for two planned dives. The results for the first dive were fine but the PG for the second dive was way off. I ran the dive through the RDP calculator and then through the dive tables, the results from the iScuba Plan app were off. The interface for this app is great but if the results are faulty the app is at best useless, at worst very dangerous.

Ok in theory

Ok at best as a very general quick reference but other than that dont waste your time. I spent about 30 mins imputing 3 dives and while looking for the latest numbers on my dive computer my phone locked out. I thought no big deal until I opened it back up and lost all the info and had to start over. Not cool

DO NOT USE THIS APP IT COULD KILL YOU!

This App does not allow for residual nitrogen on repetitive dives, You select a surface interval and the software advises a revised pressure group but it does not allow for the residual nitrogen when determining the pressure on repetitive dives. DO NOT USE THIS APP WHEN MAKING REPETITIVE DIVES THE DEVELOPERS SHOULD TAKE THIS PRODUCT OFF THE MARKET UNTIL THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN REVISED, THEY COULD CAUSE A DEATH!!!

EAN PG incorrect

If you plan an Nitrox 36 dive to 92ft/28m for 25 min the group should be a F This program shows it as an L????? Do not use!!!!!!

Fast, Accurate, Simple

This app is amazing for quick dive plans. I have tested it against tables using EAD based calculations and found it perfectly accurate. This is my go to app on my phone for this information. I’ll still pull out the PADI tables from time to time and the app continues to be spot on. Ignore the 1 star reviews, they seem to be by people who are bad at math.
