Subsurface mobile - small issues.

[Willem Ferguson]

A few comments on the latest download:

1) Upon activating the app, one lands on the landing page which is much 
more simple than the other pages. Immediately upon opening this screen 
it shows a message "No recorded dives found". However, it is still in 
the process of loading the dives, and after four seconds the dives are 
actually shown on the dive list. This needs correction. Maybe initially 
the message should read something like "Searching for dive log...". If 
the dive log can indeed not be found, then the message "No recorded 
dives found" should be shown. Does this latter message mean "No local 
dives found" or "No dives found locally and on the cloud storage"??

2) Now, the dives have been found and the dive list is shown. Then I 
select a dive. This dive is first highlighted in a blue colour on the 
list and then the profile screen is shown. If one sweeps to the right 
one gets back to the dive list. The selected dive is still shown in blue 
(correctly, in my opinion). Now select a second dive on the list. Again, 
the dive is highlighted in blue and then the profile screen is shown. 
Now do a sweep to the right again and the dive list is shown. However, 
THE SELECTED DIVE IS NOT HIGHLIGHTED AS PREVIOUSLY. We need a consistent 
interface.

3) I created a dive log with two trips to the same location, trips 
separated by 6 months. The mobile app shows them as a single, long trip 
lasting 6 months. Now I modify the dive log to have a single trip to a 
different location during these 6 months, thus separating the two 
original trips. Now, of course, the two initial trips are correctly 
shown as two separate trips with the new trip in between. It looks like 
the trip headers are not resolved correctly?

4) If I view the profile screen of a dive in the portrait (upright) 
screen perspective and then turn the screen to landscape (flat) 
perspective, I mostly see  dive list and a small part of the profile 
screen. I would have expected that the profile screen would retain 
focus. Now, with the profile screen having focus in landscape mode I 
rotate the phone to portrait perspective... and the focus is moved to 
the profile screen. I would have expected the dive list screen to retain 
focus.

Three issues reflecting my own preference.

5) Given that screen estate on a mobile phone is worth gold, and if I 
developed the display, I would have used a slightly smaller font for the 
trip heading in the dive list and in the profile screen. In the dive 
list I would have put the lines slightly closer together to show more 
information on a single screen. But this is a personal preference of 
mine. Also, in fairly bright light on a boat the grey font of the dive 
list becomes a bit difficult to read because the contrast with the 
background is less. maybe its just a thing on my phone?

6) The drag button icon, the arrow icons in the menus and submenus and 
the Subsurface icon do not show up on my phone (Android Jelly Bean). I 
see black squares.

7) I would have prettified the landing screen somewhat to be in the same 
style as the other screens. But again this is a personal preference.

The above does not take away the fact that, within a remarkably short 
time, we have a pretty well-functional mobile app. Really great stuff, 
nothing short of amazing. Thank you for your time investment from which 
we users benefit such a lot.
Kind regards,
