I see your point. I - as usually - completely ignored the existence and
possible importance of Facebook.
So then maybe no one interested in scuba diving related stuff at the
moment. Everyone skiing?! Yesterday at Überlingen they also had less
divers than expected...

I didn't recognize up to now that it's possible to switch off the
reminder. I personally wouldn't like to do this.
Meanwhile it came to my mind that changing the update reminder in a way
that it also shows a possible beta version would be already an improvement.
But if you are right and most people switch this off it's really useless.

> Excellent. Which dive computer are you using?
I'm using an "old" OSTC 2N.
I was mainly focusing on the planner during the last days because as you
know there were a few fixes done. Beside this I also use the cloud
storage meanwhile and I'm able to push my dives into the cloud and then
see them on subsurface-mobile on a iPad.
At the moment I just wonder what Robert, Tomaz and you are discussing
about planner preferences but as usually I don't understand anything. I
would volunteer to test any upcoming change in the planner again because
I love the planner and it's important for me that it works fine.

Thanks!

Best regard
Stefan
