dive planning app utilizing dive table

[Doctor Rig]

Was interested and just searched within ScubaBaord, iOS apps & via google for a (Padi, Naui or SSI) dive table based app and was amazed that I could not find anything current and recommended. Why is that? Anyone else interested or know about an available (reputable) app that would use the dive table info and format to plan a series of dives (at a minimum)?

With computers today, there is less need for something like this, but an app like this still has value today..... doesn’t it?

I don't see the point of a table based app even if someone has done it. The tables were developed as a way of calculating NDLs on something you could carry around easily, when everyone didn't have a handy computer. If scuba diving happened to be in that earlier stage of development now, when basically everyone has a computer, I doubt the tables would have been invented to begin with.

Some argue learning to use a table helps develop better understanding of the way things work. Which may be true, but stuffing it into an app probably eliminates any help there.

I searched Google Play for "PADI Tables" and these popped up. No problem to find such an app.
