PADI - Scuba Diving Essentials App Reviews

Please let us store our ecard in the iPhone native wallet. Then Ill be able to delete your app completely.

It is so annoying methat it always launch Safari and redirects to PADI website whenever I review my PADI eCards. The design is good but the idea is terrible. You guys introduced eCards. Dont try to sell plastic cards!! It is NOT environment friendly!!

would be great to have ability to read online book materials from redeemed codes; and separate app for ipad as a beginner for me it would be the most useful now:)

Why should I PAY for an eCard, thats exactly the same as I can find on the website Scuba Earth?? Are you kidding with us? I can take a photo of my certifications.. The app is also slow and pointless.

The App did not accept any of my e-mail accounts. Bug?

I purchased this app five minutes ago so that I could get a PAdi e-card. I was expecting a fail because of the many many bad reviews. It worked I have my e-card and one less thing to do before my vacation. I cant vouch for the other functions

Downloaded the app, purchased my eCard and it does not work. FAQs reference a contact form in the app that I can not find (dont like it exists) for tech issues. Have wasted far to much time here. Do yourself a favor and do not download this app!

For such a large scale dive program their app is horrible. Tried to access ecard and it didnt work. I followed the instructions and it still says I dont have an ecard. Dont bother.

App crashes & is very buggy. Its not optimized for iPhone 6 or newer. And they charge you $45.00 for each certification. Its absolutely ridiculous! Paying anything for something electronic is stupid. Maybe a one time charge for all e-certification, but $45 for each one is complete extortion! Who wants to carry around 5 or 6 certification cards when you should be able to put them on your phone for free! And instead you would need to pay almost $300 for nothing!

So confusing to do anything

$42 for an eCard. Dont bother.

Wont spend to much time on this review.. 1.Wont allow you to log your dives the location part of the log is broken 2. Always crashing or wont come up. This app is horrible dont waste your time downloading unless there is a complete revamp.

I am running the latest iPhone software and downloaded this app. I then went to padi.com and purchased my ecards. I waited 24 hours before trying to access my cards through the app. It worked the first time. Looking at all the bad reviews, Im guessing the problem has been fixed that was causing so many difficulties. I will review again after I use the app for a while.

I have had this app for a while. I originally downloaded it for the ecard feature. I purchased the ecard and it appeared no problem. However, since then I have done more courses.The card wont update. There is no way to contact them through the app and I am not sure who to speak with regarding my problem. There is also no information in the FAQ section about anything useful. I also tried using the logging feature as I forgot my log book at home. Awful! You would think PADI would put out a product that met the same standards as their dive shops and courses. Completely useless. I would delete the app but I keep hoping, PADI will get with the program, read the reviews, and come out with an awesome update! But, if I run out of space in my phone before this happens, this app will be the first to go.

its pathetic that a multi-million dollar company cant create a true app .. they just created a redirect to the website .. which in turn makes it even more difficult to read and access. Put Another Dollar In and create a REAL APP!

Your a world wide organization! Fix your App! Never even lets me register, I get so far then it erases all my data! This problem existed a for a long timeaand I was hoping it had been fixed!

everytime i try to open up my ecard (an ecard i paid a hefty price for) in the app, the app stalls and shuts down!! How do i access my ecard now???

I downloaded the app but found it very frustrating. I wish I had not purchased an eCard because the tool cannot find it. The instructions to get the eCard state to use a username I never entered and even after resetting the password, the eCard cannot be found. I will have to call PADI tomorrow to work through the issue or contest the purchase with my credit card company. Poorly designed app and it should be avoided until a new version is available and good reviews are posted. For me.. I wasted my time and money

So frustrating to navigate thru this app. Havent figured out how to actually take the quizzes but it sounds like I may not even be able to. This looks like it may have been a waste of $179 and put my son off of diving. Not a great way to get started!

When I try to view my ecard the app closes, but other than that it seems like a great app.
