iDeco Pro - 1.0.0 - Available NOW
All,
I've recently released iDeco Pro. You can purchase it from the Apple AppStore on your phone or get it here: iDeco Pro
SPECIAL NOTE -> If you use iDeco Pro, please leave feedback on the Apple AppStore! This is how iDeco Pro can rise in the rankings!
This new application offers many improvements over the free version of iDeco:
1) Fully revamped user experience. The UI has been made sleeker, with information being easier to see and use. The individual dives are much more obvious, and all of the icons have been updated, along with colors used more extensively to help denote good/bad values. A new toolbar has been added as well that makes better use of the screen, along with better status information that you've selected something.
2) Settings can now be changed in the app. For most commonly changed settings such as ascent, descent, GF High, GF Low, and Last stop are all configurable within the program. (All VPM-B settings can be changed her as well when in VPM-B mode)
3) My Gases - Allows you to have a list of the 50 most used gases. Works for the dive phase, deco phase and bailout. Instead of having to set up and maintain a list, iDeco Pro simply remembers gases you use, and lists them back in the order that you've used them.
4) New runtime display. This was a commonly requested feature that I've added to the summary. It shows RT, CNS and OTUs along with a repositioned dive graph. By doing it this way, you no longer need to scroll to the bottom of the plan.
5) Added much higher pressure support for mixing. This was a common request so that people who bank gases can use the mixer. Note: 2 features are being added to 1.1 - The ability to top with any gas, and the ability to change the order of additions of gases (a free update of course).
6) Superior email support - You can now view, edit and cc others on your plans. The free version uses a proxy I wrote because the older iPhone OS (pre 3.0) didn't support sending anything more then 255 bytes from an external program. Obviously, that wouldn't work. iDeco Pro takes advantage of the 3.0 email support.
7) Multi-level bailout has been dramatically improved. iDeco Pro now takes into acount all bottom phases and plans bailout based on the worst case scenario.
8) Future support for many more decompression algorithms. VPM-B is currently being tested by a small, select group. DIR Tech 1 is also fully implemented but not released yet. The UI now features a button (Currently denoted with Bü) that allows you to flip between algorithms. The ability to switch on the fly is more as a teaching tool to compare algorithms. (Once you start a dive day with an algorithm, you need to stick to it)
9) Internal changes were made to support RT (realtime). These are not visible to the user (yet), but are needed to have iDeco Pro as a full dive computer, not just a planner.
IMPORTANT NOTE: iDeco Pro will be the focus for all iDeco development in the future. I wrote the free version of iDeco as a payback to the community, and many people use it and like it. You are NOT required to upgrade in any way, and iDeco will continue to work for as long as you own it. However, all new features and updates will be put into iDeco Pro.
