What happened to Deep Blu Cosmiq?

[okrunner]

Well, after checking, it appears the Deepblu app has been removed from the Apple app store. So, if you don't already have it on your iphone your screwed. It appears the app is still available on the Google play store. I may download it on a Google device just in case the iphone version quits and the Google app will still work. Anyway, there appears hope that those owning a working version of this device can continue using all functions for the time being by using the Deepblu app for settings and Subsurface app for logs. How long this will work? Who knows? I wouldn't bet it will be working indefinitely but you might get a year or two out of it.

Upgraded my phone and lost the app which is no longer available for download. I have the original so its been relegated to back up timer till it quits working.

Is there anyone who knows how to get my logged dives on pdf or something?
Ofcourse I saved all my dives in the app and ofcourse I dont have a backup...

I played around with the Deepblu app on my iphone. I was able to skip the login and access the settings. Assuming it will still sync with Subsurface, the Cosmiq would seemingly still be fully functional by using the Deepblu app only for settings by skipping the log in, and using Subsurface to sync your log. How long the Deepblu app remains on the app store or not removed by Apple is anybody's guess though.

I just bought a used Cosmiq+ "for parts" off eBay from a non-scuba seller who said it didn't come with a charging cable so didn't know if it worked. I have a Cosmiq+ and charging cable and was very happy that my $40 gamble paid off and it charged up and powered on.

I had no idea that Deepblu had gone out of business until I couldn't log into the app and I started Googling and found this thread.

Yes, I too was able to skip logging in and was able to change the settings from C to F etc and I downloaded the Subsurface app and sync it with the Cosmiq+ downloading someone else's dive log, which I promptly deleted.

So that works, but no way I see to clear the computers logbook other than to overwrite it or check the UG to see if there's a "factory reset" that can be done using the computers buttons.

So, I've now got two, a primary and a backup, and I was able to download the app from the Google Play Store on my tablet, so I should be good until they die for whatever reason. Bummed that the site is gone but not really into social networking so didn't use it much anyway.

I also recently picked up an Oceanic VT4.0 that is absolutely pristine with only 16 (of 24) dives logged. The history say 16 dives and 30 hours which I believe is the lifetime total. The dives were from July/August 2024, ten years ago.

I was going to sell it now for a very nice profit (Paid $75 total) But now with the Deepblu's being unsupported, I think it best to keep the Oceanic "just in case"....

hello, I have my CosmiQ dead as after a change in phone I forgot to dowload the apk and now its too late. Where did you download and how did you bypass login? thanks

And no support either. The app was key to its function, but if you have an Android phone(and developer mode is enabled or side loading apps is allowed) or a Linux install, Subsurface can interact with it. The Play Store won’t let newer Android devices download it though - hence why you need to grab the .apk and sideload it. The Windows and Mac versions don’t play nice with how DeepBlu implemented Bluetooth LE, I had the most success with a Galaxy S10e I had laying around.

Is there a way i could get the apk for sideloading it? I hate to say but inforgot to install the app in my new phone and now its too late

I downloaded it from the Play store right after getting the second Cosmiq off eBay a couple weeks ago. I also downloaded an app to back it up so was able to extract the APK file. Its on another device right now and not sure if this site allows uploading something like that. I just checked and it's still on the Play store.

On the login screen there's a "skip" at the bottom that skips logging into the Web site, which is no longer working. You can then pair your computer via Bluetooth and make changes to the settings but not download the logbook, but you can download your logbook to the subsurface app. I just downloaded the app and installed it on a tablet I keep in the basement, see the attached screenshot.

I tried to upload the Apk file but it's too big, the site won't let me upload it
