Total dives tally needed at top of log
Cant this be sorted? I know that programming can be buggy. It would be so cool if code could be written that displayed a tally of all dive log entries. Theres a perfect place for it, in the blank blue box between "All Dives" box and "+" box.
I see where there might be the issue and likely needed to be sorted out by Scuba Earth programmers and PADI. Scuba Earth desktop sight lists a Logged Dives value.
In the Scuba Earth app there is no value for "Dives Logged." Therefore if the code can reference value listed on Scuba Earth desktop site the issue should be solved.
Ive spent $200 on this app. Far more than any other. Not putting another dollar in until the Log Book feature is fixed. Why isnt their a numeric tally of dives at top of log entries? You try to count off one by one to get sum total of your dives.
Next, digital cards are way too much. $50 each certification is ridiculous. The strategy may be to get the one off divers to pay as much as possible. This pricing hoses divers wanting to advance in PADI and have digi cards. Not to mention deters divers to get more than one eCard. **App Hack** Dont buy eCard until you reach highest dive rating. Rescue Divers, Master Divers, and Divemasters will save $100 - $300 on in-app pitches w/ that easy trick. PADI make them more reasonable, say $22, same as PIC.
App quality: besides the issues of not being able to modify log entries, or get a quick confirmation of your total dives w/o counting and double counting entries, now theres a badge notification that wont go away! In addition to the app already being clunky, with buttons that redirect improperly. Who did you get to design the app? Especially with the hopes of making $300+ revenue from your loyal divers.
In conclusion, PADI, fix the log book...
- ability to edit entries
- sum figure of log book entries at top of log book.
...seriously consider fairer eCard pricing, and aim for simpler, and 100% functional app features.
Diver/User: because of grossly inflated eCard cost, dont buy until reached final cert level. Avoid spending as much as I regret doing. Hope app will improv quicker than it has in the past year.
Review of last version:
App is getting better and more reliable with each version. Ive dropped over $100 on it in the form of 3 eCards. Thank you so much for adding a Log Book edit option. Huge! The other fix needed is a number at top of digital Log Book for dives. Adding up alternate color bars is useful only so far. There should be a number next to All Dives or in the empty blue box to the right.
Log Book and eCards, for price, should also be accessible in app regardless of wifi or cell service.
Thanks. Keep us proud and submerged PADI.
