V-Planner

Great adaptation of one of the best deco software packages.

Sets a whole new standard for deco software. Great job! Runs flawlessly

Stability has improved. The controls are more responsive now. Still, some, like the button sliders controlling some of the settings, are still sticky and don't seem effectively implemented. It is nice to have the settings available from the program. However, in doing a series of dives you have to hop back through all the dives to get to them. That's not great and requires re-entry of data.

The latest version is a definite improvement over the previous version, as it now remembers dive plan details when the app is re-opened. This feature only seems to work for Dive #1 right now though. When they manage to get that working for multiple dives, I think it will be a solid 4 stars. Adding an option to email dive plans would be very nice as well, as this is included in some other iPhone Deco planners.

I have been using v-planner for several years and the pda version has more capability than the Iphone version. I recently asked why the Iphone version 1.04 does not allow for lost gas or contigency calculations (5 deeper and 5 minutes longer for instance), but after 3 days have not received a response. The I phone version is user friendly like many of the applications, but definitely not up to par with the desk top or PDA versions. Hope HHS software will add these capabilities soon.
