On 5.2.498 this happens to me as well. The pw text appears in the text 
box regardless of setting below when one
hits the SAVE button, all the pw characters are changed to dots.

I can confirm this. My experience was that after specifying the cloud 
credentials,
Subsurface-mobile did not continue to load the cloud data. I needed to kill
the program first. When restarted, it loaded the dive list. BUT: IN MY CASE
I suspect it is slow Internet speed and it cannot load the dives because
it cannot make the Internet connection. I have lately installed ssrf-mobile
repeatedly to reproduce the earlier problems, but at the moment the ISP
is reasonably fast and it loads the dives every time. I will continue to 
check
this out.

In portrait view, the left and bottom margins are clipped, obscuring 
depth values on
Y-axis and dive computer name below X-axis. In landsape view the profile is
more or less perfect except for the dive computer name that is still 
clipped.

Confirm. For me it creates bad user experience.

After saving the GPS positions, please show a notification, something like
"14 GPS positions uploaded", even only min application log.

After GPS-tagging dives, please show notifications, something like
"4 dives GPS-tagged", even only in application log.

If a dive has a GPS location, would it be possible to print this info on
the profile panel just after the date/time (even just in the interim)??
This will help tremendously in seeing when GPS-tagging has worked.
The current underlining of the dive site name is helpful but not definitive.

I have not managed to GPS-tag my new dives yet, but I am struggling to
get hold of an Android version later than 4.3. I continue to try...

Currently I do not have any dive site names for the dives that need
to be GPS-tagged. The text box is empty. In the Companion app,
the dive site name is supplied by the location server. I assume the
same approach applies here, or could this be a source of problems?

This has been running smoothly for me.

I have not received any notifications. I use the original URL provided via email
in order to re-install (i.e. after manual removal of Subsurface-mobile).

Kind regards,
