Thanks for all the work you do Nick.
On the feature listed above, I cannot find those 2 fields on the iPhone app. Synching seems all correct for all the other fields.

Sorry for the delay, I didn't get a notification about your post.

Under the Gas Tab of a dive, tap on the top section (Computer, Weights etc). It's a bit obscure, but then, it's a more advanced field with less appeal to the majority of users.

Hopefully in the future we will redesign the various tabs and have some of this stuff less hidden away.

Thanks for the reply Nick. I've found it. It's indeed a less needed feature by a lot of people so it's fine where it is, especially now that I know where to look for it :)

It seems though that the scrubber time is missing. I can see the scrubber type, but not the scrubber time (and in all fairness that's the important field to have).

They're all there, but they will be hidden by default if there is no value. Try tapping "Edit". You should see "Scrub. Before" and "Scub. After". Those are the times (same as the Desktop of course).

Thanks Nick. Those fields are very well hidden :mrgreen:

For a future update, it would be good if those two fields (before/after) could be seen without going into the edit mode. It would make sense to add those fields above the current scrubber type. Something like :

CCR

Scrubber time
65' / 130'

Scrubber type
Intersorb

As above, they will be hidden *if there is no value*. If you add a value, then they will appear, and they will be under a CCR section.

However, the iPhone is a little stricter than the Desktop, which is just any old string. The iPhone expects something of the form HH:MM, and the entry field is a time picker for convenience. So it may simply be that your format isn't translating to a number and being treated as "no value".

I verified just now and I see the fields as expected when not in edit mode, provided they have values.

If it would be easier I will simply change this to a text field on the phone. You would have to enter your own text manually rather than using a time picker, but that will remove the reliance on it being in a certain form. I did this because I thought it would be easier for you on the phone, and the field was always intended to be used that way.

That's why it wasn't showing then. There were values but the value for the before field was 00:00 because the sorb was new (I just changed it) and in the after field I have a value expressed in minutes only (i.e. 64' in that case). I always used minutes on the desktop version as it is "easier" me because the dive time is in minutes.

For me it would but I don't know what the other CCR divers think about this. I haven't used the iPhone version to enter a new dive yet. I always go through my iMac.

I just updated to the newest release. Can you please clarify something for me, I see there is now an in-app purchase to use my DCBuddy. Does that mean I have lost that capability from the last release?
