PADI Hack 1.42.0 + Redeem Codes

I am both a PADI and SSI certified diver and use both apps depending on how I an diving with. I like both apps and both are user friendly. I would say SSI’s app is a little better mostly because it allows you to easily save dive buddies info so you can reconnect for future dives. Also, SSI dive site locator is much better. However, PADI allows you to save logged recreational dives with out verification which I like because I often don’t dive with a SCUBA instructor that can verify the dive. Before I became a PADI certified diver I would just log my dives on the SSI app as unverified if there wasn’t a SSI diver master to verify the dive. Both apps are good but I would say I now log my dives on the PADI app and only use the SSI app for the dive site locator and to add dive buddies if they are SSI certified divers.

I was easily able to log my dives using the app during my trip last year. When I went to look at my dives in the app this year it was empty. When I login to the PADI website the dives show up (but are missing information about depth, bottom time, equipment, basically everything except the date and location). I like the idea of a digital log book so I can always log/look up dives without having to remember a physical book, but if the app isn’t reliable a physical book is better.

The eCard feature in the app is frustrating. There isn’t an option to have my eCard loaded to my phone’s wallet. When I showed my eCard to the dive shop we realized it doesn’t actually have my name on it and it didn’t have my picture. I had to login to the PADI website to pull up my eCard which had my name and picture. The whole point of downloading an eCard on my phone is so that I can pull it up at the dive shop without using data (especially if I’m in a foreign country and don’t have signal or WiFi at the dive shop). If the eCard is my phone’s wallet and has all the correct information and picture on it, I can pull it up at the dive shop.

This app is very easy to use. The courses are easy to take, are very clear in the information provided, and it is very easy to navigate. I feel fully prepared to transition from this knowledge to the in-person training of diving instruction; confined area dive, dives 1-4, etc. I am very glad I’m taking these courses - recommend it to others.

The only improve is that after completion of a course section, navigating back to the course menu does not reflect the completed course immediately. I have to navigate all the way out of the course and re-enter in order to have it show credit. Small issue, but this happens consistently. Please fix.

Update: PADI contacted me shortly after posting the below comments and provided a direct email to send additional feedback. I sent a more detailed review and suggests. Thank you for your customer support service. I will awaited your updates.

I agree with the other comments posted from the previous review, this new app totally missed the mark! The old app worked and provided more information to the user. Now you will delete the app and the users information (dive log, and ecards that were paid for) in 90 days.
Recommendation: Either migrate all the features from the previous/old app to the newer version OR just keep the old app!
PADI is a professional organization and this new app should have not even approved for public release beta test, because of the lack of content improvements.

I mainly use the app to log my dives, but here’s the thing: the logbook just straight up doesn’t work. I’ve had this app for a while now, and i’ve never gotten the logbook to work. i’ll try to put in the dive site, but it won’t let me. i’ll click on the thing and i’ll type in the name of the site, and the list of sites just won’t pop up. and then it won’t even let me put the name in (which the website does let me do if it doesn’t recognize the dive site), so i just have to cancel it. the logbook on the website works fine, but the website and app seem completely disconnected because even when i’m logged into my account on both things, my logged dives don’t even show up on the app. so if you’re wanting to get this app for the logbook, don’t. either use the website or just stick to a physical pen and paper book

From the e-learning to the hands on experience everyone and everything that represents PADI is beyond excellent. The app is easy to go through and allows you to take training on the go or show your certifications easily without having to carry you card all the time. Strongly recommend this for those who utilize their phones often or for those who want an easier way to track dives.

I’m logged in to the PADI app. The details are correct; email login is correct. My eCards are not there, and my logged dives are not there. When I look for the eCards, I get “Oops! Something went wrong…” This happened in the last version and still, after the current update. When I use the app menu to check, I have to log in again, through a web type of portal, and my cards are all there. When I click “done” and return to the app, they are all missing again, although I appear to be logged in still - my email login is still listed. Completely useless, really, as a place to store downloaded eCards to use offline when remote. What’s the point of using this or paying for eCards when it either does not work at all, or the interface is bad enough that an intelligent person can’t use it?

First the app took over 7 minutes to load and even open. Then I couldn’t get the e-cards to download so without WiFi or cel service its worthless. As for the information...If you are more than a beginner diver it seems a bit worthless. Through the previous app you could access so much more information, get access to the full PADI website, look up certification numbers, access travel and information about con ed courses etc. All great tools for a dive professional. This app has knots, hand signals, and how to pack a bag, this info is not enough to justify needing the app, and who wants to have to go to 2,3,4 different PADI apps to get all the info. Most DM and Instructors I know used the app to look up customers certifications daily. The app only has a pro check which for the average user is unnecessary. I’ll just carry my cert card it’s much easier than the app.

Just getting back into diving after a long break. I Freakout when I couldn't find my dive certification card. Started the process of replacing it and kinda hard to locate the information. Padi website ran me around in circles a few times and it comes down to paying the piper and all your dreams may come true. Well, I paid my $65 plus dollars and finally received an E-Card. Web site fairly difficult to navigate it could use some more work.

Well, now I'm ready to get wet again and enjoy the sport I spent four years diving twice a week. Lots of fun and looking forward to the splash.

I’m not able to save my e-card to my wallet bit even if I could, it’s useless. No picture and no cert number. There is no way to verify the card belongs to the diver or record the cert number unless you are on the live app. This is a serious problem if you are in a place with no mobile service (a common occurrence at many dive sites). In addition PADI will no longer be providing physical card included with their certifications. You can order them for an ADDITIONAL FEE! Shame on you PADI. If you’re really doing away with cards to help keep plastic out of the environment, then at least provide an e-card that dives can use outside the app. So disappointed.
