MultiDeco for Android
Was 5* for me before the update. What they don't tell you is that they've made it even slower to calculate a dive in the free version. It used to do it in about 20sec before which was slow enough but acceptable for a free software, but now you're looking at a couple of minutes everytime you want to make a minor change. And you can't switch screens either or you're back to square one. That includes rotating the screen! I'm over it and switched to PastoDeco which is completely free and does trimix as well.
Works perfectly
Rather limited functionality compared to the desktop version. What is the point of entering RMV in the setup menu if the app doesn't even calculate gas consumption? It will quite happily give you a dive plan way beyond what you have gas for.
I bough this app after a friend showed me the PC version. I'm disappointed not to have contingency planning etc but should have researched it more so my fault. After hitting calc the menu options allow adding a next dive which is infinitely better than the horrible way the pc version does it (I've been writing software for three decades and that's the least intuitive interface I've ever seen and a win for the phone version), and report which gives cns and gas usage etc. The only way to see a full plan is to share or copy to clipboard.

Simple, fast, versatile dive gas planning.
Perfect for planning vpm dives, X1 owners, and more... Having used the mobile v-planner and v-planner live for years, switching both to Multideco was the natural way to go and satisfaction only increased! Ross does a marvelous job for divers using the VPM model :D

Compared to the desktop version and the iPad version it has very little functionality or features. We have been promised an update to offer improvements but I am still waiting. 3 times the price of Baltic for iPad and not even half as good. Come on guys, time to improve this now
Fantastic way to plan my diving and along with the OSTC leaves me in no doubt what to expect.
No lost gas planning or graphics, disappointing compared to desktop and other similar mobile apps. Does straightforward plans well though.
the saved depth-gas combos. When you will implement this feature (like on desktop version)?
for Android devices. Have used along with my OSTC. Haven't tried desktop version though. Good support, quickly sorted when I had an issue with keys after an OS upgrade. Would be good to see licensing integrated with Google Play.
Why can't I make my PO2 constant in CCR?! Makes this all kinda useless for planning with my rebreather. :-(

Number one planner imho, spend the money and support it
Work
Hands down, the best deco tool android adaptation I've found.
Works ok.
Great app. I wanted something that matched the Buhlmann algorithm on my dive computer and this fits the bill perfectly.
It should be possible to use Multideco on all your Android devices. Now you can only register two per year, and it is a nightmare when you get a new phone and/or tablet...
All in one comprehensive dive planning and gas mixing application.
I've come back from dives, so can't be bad..
So free is a misnomer
Works great and use it all the time. Wish it had a few things the PC version has though. Hint, hint.
Great app
This is exactly the same as v-planner. Free application but if you want to calculate decompression dives you must pay. Free functionality limited to gas blending and PPO2 calculations etc.
Fantastic applicati on. Dived with v-planner (its predecessor) on numerous dives and suits me perfectly, also profiles run everso close to my VRX.
False advertising. You must pay for decompression planning; which is the point of downloading the app in the first place.
Love it.
No other program exists at this level of functionality and support!
Well ....weiner says it all really.
Excellent but why weren't the features delivered as upgrades to vplanner?
False advertising. Not free at all, will cost you £30 to make it work. Beware thieves work in this area!

Android version on tablet is pretty disappointing if you know the Windows / Mac version. They did not utilize the space at all. Usuability is pretty poor, too.
