Pros and cons of Baltic Deco Planner app for iPhone and iPad

Baltic Deco Planner app good for

Fantastic piece of software. Been using this for 4 years now, excellent is an understatement.
Only thing missing is fresh water. I emailed the developer and it is on the radar. Other than that works well. Uses Buhlmann B, my computer uses C. Not exactly clear if there is much difference.
Very nice & intuitive UI, quite a lot of options, reliable results and a fair price. Much nicer than v-planner on iOS. I love it!
Good software. It does the job. Easy to use too. Bottles volume and gas consumption expressed in bar would be a good add
Very good application it work very good Easy and intuitive Really a good and usefull app.
Great app. It could be better if user could be allowed to manually change the duration of the gas switches

Some bad moments

Worked great till the update. Now it crashes right after launch on my iPad 1. I have tried deleting and reloading to no avail.
