PADI Library for Android
Half way through the second knowledge review and the drop down menu doesn't work so I can't complete the test. Tried again today and it needed an update, now I've updated and tried the test again and it's bringing it up in another language. Don't waste your time with this app!!
Wow what a piece of trash! After weeks of login errors I'm finally in, I've completed my first video and knowledge review, Where are the other knowledge reviews??? i.e 2,3,4 and 5. I've never had an app make me feel so stupid!!! I keep going back to my dive instructor and asking him how to use the app. It's seriously hampering my progression. Can i have an option to give this a minus score? Just brutal!!!!!!
The bugs, the way you cannot pick the drop down choices on the quizzes, it feels like I'm using Windows 95. It doesn't reflect well on Padi.
TROUBLESHOOTING ADVICE: If you are having trouble logging in and getting all your PADI courses downloaded, check that you are logging in through the menu function of your phone or tablet. On my tablet I accessed it from the physical "menu" button outside the screen next to the home button, and on my phone it was three dots in the top right corner. You may receive a "Unable to Proceed... you have not redeemed any codes" warning if you try logging in through the User Guide. Also, if you're doing your Open Water Diver make sure you use the "Open Water Diver Touch" not "Open Water Diver Manual" to get all your exercises and progress properly logged.
This app didn't register my test scores, I had to redo tests plenty of times, log out, log in for every f..cking test so that it finally worked. I lost so much time with it, incredible! This is a beta version..
Padi picks your password, sends it in a plain text email, doesn't let you change it, and worst of all, it's only slightly less easy to guess than if you used the password "password". The app is hard to navigate, buggy, and I never was able to track my progress. The only reason they're getting 2 stars is because they gave me a refund.
Dear Padi, you would make more sales out of integrating e-learning and touch into one program. No one is going to pay for both, except through great frustration after buying one and realizing the other is what they needed. That's not exactly how a reputable company maintains its integrity.
The app downloaded fine and everything inside the app downloaded fine apart from the open water touch, 7 hours later and it was at 38% then decided it didn't want to down load anymore and went back to 1% and i need to have all the tests done for tomorrow as im leaving the country after my next dive
Total crap - won't let me even sign in to my account. So disappointed.
It does what it is supposed to do, but on Marshmallow and Nougat you can't select the storage location anymore. I don't want to format my sd as internal storage. It worked fine on lollipop.
Final exam of the open water course is missing all the images needed for the multi choice. All questions asking about naming the scuba kit and the hand signs.
Important app to have to read the manual, but keeps hanging and crashing.
Did not manage to login with my existing account, which works on PC. Uninstalled.
Bugs won't allow taking of test and reviews.

I estimate $70 too much. This app should be included. I remember paying $100 for much more in 2012. A fail. Stop taking our money
I took and completed the whole course, however none of my scores show up on my record. I've retake all the exams and they still don't sign up. The final exam had questions that were supposed to have pictures corresponding to the questions, but none of the pictures showed up. This app definitely did not function as I expected.
I downloaded the library app to be able to install the the erdpml touch. Which it did... It's just a really poor implementation of that tool. When you pay $20 for an app you expect... well... an APP! Instead you download the erdpml instruction manual to the library and it has an interactive version of the calculator embedded in it. It does work, which is why I have it 2 stars instead of one, but this is a poorly built tool meant to suck up money from divers instead of actually be useful.
I can log into the padi web site but not this app. I am using the correct details and have checked. Using lollypop. Maybe this Id the issue?
I paid for the touch version of the open water elearning.. downloaded the app as advised in my confirmation email but it doesnt recognise my details and i can't log on. Spent $200 on something i cant access...really unimpressed with Padi for allowing this to occur..!
As many reviews say, you likely can't log in. I've tried URL encoding the user name, simple passwords, etc. Login works on the web but requires flash, which won't/shouldn't run on any modern device. Frustrating. Yes PADI your app is very nice but certifiably broken in its current state. Don't bother asking users to reset passwords. A little QA goes a long way.
Padi has crowned themselves the gatekeepers of scuba and this app is unworthy of that responsibility and authority. Customer service is non existant. Evolve or get out the way. The app/padi experience is so poor that it makes you lose interest.
I registered the code download the app have a valid account still can't login to the app ......say UN&PASSWORD don't work ...I double check it still same ...please help...
Why bother building an app, if you can't QAit!!
It's so much easier to use this app than to lug around books. All my future courses will benefit from this!
(1) Not being able to download an update for the OWD course is a surprise. (2) Text search is highly required for such an app
Can logon on elearning Web based but doesn't work on this app despite purchasing the app
I am blown away by the equipment specialist touch module. Absolutely awesome work.
Very very excited to start using this app. It looks good so far.
I had to reset my tablet and I can't download the owd manual please allow me to redownload

3 days to download the Open Water course!!!!! Too big file, PADI do you know there are countries with bad Internet?
Can't login, worthless app
The library is not opening at all today. I have tried for 3-4weeks to download the OW touch...just achieved it. Many calls, emails to PADI. Still cannot access to answer quizzes or knowledge reviews. Prefer OW interactive DVD and Manual. Now app will not even open.
Says password incorrect, even though it isn't. Unless this is a different account to the e-learning one, which would be really dumb.
This app won't let me sign in with the same credentials I use on the padi website so I can't do my elearning.
Can't login because of 'incorrect username or password'. Can't reset password because I foolishly succeeded in logging in with the same credentials...
Final exam of the open water course is missing all the images needed for the multi choice. All questions asking about naming the scuba kit and the hand signs.
It wont let me log into my account

Well after a few hours of completing the different quizzes it transpired that it was all a complete waste of time. The app navigated well and seemed to do the job but did not save a single result. The app mentions clicking "done" which does not exist. I ended up completing all of the tests again on my computer. I was constantly prompted for login details and it required at least as much time navigating around the website as answering the quizzes themselves! Shocking app. Shocking website.
