Subsurface-mobile

I just dove yesterday. I added a dive using the Android app. I did not
have the correct name so since it was the first site we dove for lobster
season, I called it "lobster 1." Later, I found that we were diving on
Anglin Pier Reef.

I checked my dives on the web site and saw the dive "lobster 1" which
had been sent since I had "Upload new dives" checked. I opened the
lobster 1 dive on the app and touched the pencil and changed the name to
Anglin Pier Reef. I touched the disk symbol to save. In my case, the
buttons are at the top of the screen, not the bottom The updated name
was saved to the app, but the name was not updated on the server. I hit
the sync circular arrows and the app said "Dives have been updated" but
the dive name  was not updated on the server. I used a curl get to
confirm that as well as retrieving the dives again on the web site.

So, as I have had to do in the past, I used curl and the API to delete
the dive and add it again with the correct name.

I had not reported it in the past. I just figured I would this time.

I am using Subsurface-mobile version 2.1 on Android 7.0 security patch
level June 1, 2017 kernel 3.18.31-11614766.

Regards,

John
