Allarme di Ancoraggio Pro

We are at anchor most of the time and this app has been giving me peace of mind for about the last 4 years or so. It keeps improving and the features generally work well for us. The only bit missing is a sharing feature so I can leave a device on board and share the monitoring with my phone from shore. Then, it’d feel complete. Dark mode is appreciated tho the track and circle could contrast a bit better especially under low brightness. I really appreciate the anchorages tab as it gives an overall view if others have been in an area before as well as seeing ahead of a passage some popular or possible spots for anchoring. Really great when you go to unfamiliar places. It’s really one of my top favorite features. I use this app in tandem with another where I can remotely monitor from shore. I like the backup but this one is still the first I check and set. Thank you.

For a paid app expected it to work instead it just goes off and boat has not moved setting your perimeters is arcane and a hassle.

This app does everything I’ve been looking for, thanks

This app is awesome, it is rough and dark. I would normally stay up all night. I sleep through the night. Just make sure your phone is plugged in.

Used this for the first time, while sitting on anchor in 30-35 knot winds overnight. It worked great, alerted me twice, but I had set the meters at a lower amount. Really do recommend this app, my boat friends wish it could be used for Android.

Ten day sail from Pensacola, Fl to Mexico Beach/Port St Joe and back. Experienced many rough storms and anchor drug twice, Anchor Alarm alerted us with a plenty loud signal, not too loud. Easy to use, 35 ft Oday with about a 60 ft anchor line. (10 ft depth below keal) Set Alarm distance at 80 ft, GPS accuracy at 30 ft, draw trace - on (this draws where the boat moves as wind changes or anchor drags), Show Accuracy circle-on, anchor alarm as “doorbell”, Sounds to low volume warning -on…. SLEPT PEACEFULLY, though I am old and as I woke during the night a couple times and visually checked our position for added peace of mind and “all was well.”

The app itself is what I have found to be the best regarding our anchoring practices. They have improved upon features however the latest are questionable. They paired with a company “boat vitals” but that company hasn’t put out any updates since July of 2020. They say you need their device which includes a few years of monitoring but nowhere is the price mentioned. That’s a huge red flag right there. Why advertise if your prices are secret? We are actively traveling outside of the US so internet availability is spotty and even when we have a connection, the quality ranges from almost good to very poor. Such a service is useless. What I have also found out is that without internet, you get zero visualizations. No circle, no trace, no map. There is no caching of data. The only way to tell if it is working is using your distance from the anchor coordinates. Too many companies cater to those within more developed areas and zero support for those who travel outside those areas. I mean, that’s the point of using anchor apps, because you are actively traveling and looking for something to keep your stuff safe when not in network, right? I see nowhere anything about sunsets or sunrises or moon phase. App updated this morning. I’ve been without internet for 2 weeks and come back to this hot mess.

All the features I need. Simple to use and very effective. I live on the hook. An invaluable tool.

I’ve been using this app for at least 5 years. They have been improving it and it’s fantastic. The watch becomes a great accessory and THANK YOU for the Pause button on the watch! Let’s figure out a remote unit and it’d be ultimate. I’ve tried others and in conjunction with this one and this is the one I rely on most. Love it!
