iPhone companion app

[Yosef Hamza]

I used couple of weeks ago.

There's some bugs I wanted to fix but totally forgot I will work on them
tomorrow "hopefully"

1_ The apps drains battery like CRAZY!
It's working invisibly and GPS consume some good battery power, O noticed
it the first day I installed the app to try it and the next day I though my
phone battery was broken somehow till I found that the app was running and
recording dives

Proposed solution: good iPhone apps I used that uses battery in similar
fashion it sends reminder local notification to the user reminding him that
the app is running, so solution: Local notification to remind users


2_ The app UI never responds when login without internet connection, move
to dives table but freezes

3_ That's an enhancement actually, but It only record dives when in
'water', recording dives on my way to college was kinda funny

Last but no least I was wondering If you are interested in more features in
that app than it's current functionality
