More Mobile Software

I bought DivelogDT to use on my iMac laptop , was able to download the dives off my dive computer no problem ...

Question is , I would like to use my iPhone when diving to log my dives more easily and on the spot , do I need to buy Dive Log fro IOS and sync them?
Seems when you buy DivelogDT you should have the IOS app as an add on? So I need to buy two programs for this???

Thanks in advance..

Hi,

DiveLogDT for the Mac and Dive Log for iOS are sold individually so a single purchase does not get you both applications. Many of our users only use one of our products (iOS only or macOS only) further, many of our iOS users use a Windows PC as their desktop and many of our Mac users use an Android device for the mobile needs. We work closely with another developer to ensure compatibility between our iOS and Mac apps and his Windows and Android apps but we have no formal business relationship. So all 4 apps are priced independently so no one is left paying for something that they do not need.

There is also a historical reason that a single purchase can not be used to get both the iOS and macOS apps. Apple has only very recently (within the past few years) even made this possible. Unfortunately the terms that they made it possible under would require us to abandon support for our existing customers on either iOS or macOS (we’ve been selling these apps since 2008 so there are many thousands of users that would be impacted). So even though it is now technically possible to have a single purchase apply to and app from each platform we are not able to do this in practice. Again, we have priced the apps to be appropriate for development efforts associated with each app as if it was purchased stand alone.

I'm not sure which dive computer you are downloading, but Dive Log on iOS can download many dive computers that support Bluetooth LE natively. It is possible that you could get by with just Dive Log on iOS depending on your situation.

Thanks Gregg, apreciate the quick response , that makes sense.

I am using a Mares Quad and I already have the usb cable with 'the clamp' to download , so bluetooth is out of the question. I'll just bite the bullet and purchase the iOS version , nobody said this hobby was cheap ≥

thanks again for the quick reply!

Hi Jeff,

Just a side note really, there is an adaptor that Mares makes called the Bluelink Pro that looks very much like the clamp you have for USB downloads that talks Bluetooth instead of USB to the computer/phone. This Bluelink adaptor allows you to directly download the Quad via Bluetooth to Dive Log on iPhone with the "Mares Bluetooth Download" in-app purchase.

Cheers,

Greg
