Excellent app!
I’ve used it for a few years now, it’s rock solid!
Simple but reliable
I’ve been using it summer after summer, I can sleep without worrying ….
Very useful / essential
The alarm works great, but the usage of the map is difficult, one finger, two fingers, drag... A manual interface to capture the anchor position would by greatly beneficial. Don’t forget to bring your phone with you when you drop the anchor and press the anchor button; this way you do not need to fiddle with the anchor position.
Poor position reliability
Seems odd that the GPS on my phone is easily accurate enough to navigate, but constantly loses its position with this anchor alarm. The only thing worse than no anchor alarm is one that constantly gives a false alarm. The developer will blame the iPhone, but every other app that uses my phone, and as a sailor and traveller there’s a lot of them, has no accuracy issues right down to my Garmin driving app. Waking up at 3am to an alarm showing you took off across an island for a second, but you’re back now, is unacceptable and unreliable
Great app!
While out single handed this App allowed me a bit of sleep during windy conditions with poor holding.
Best anchor app.
This is the best iOS anchor app I have found. It saved me last summer, waking me while I slept after my rode got cut. It’s easy enough to use. I have used it to call another device in the event of a drag. The only downsides of the app are the fault of Apple. The app is not allowed to send text messages or make calls in the background. Apple should make an exception for apps like this. The best part is the developer answered a recent question of mine so we know this is an app with an active developer which bodes well for the future health of this app. Well worth the purchase.
Great
Sleep much better in a windy Anchorage
Anchor app. 4.5 stars
Great app easy to use. Only deduct .5 stars for draining the battery.
What a great app!
This is an awesome app - it has literally saved our boat twice this year. Peace of mind when at anchor - I keep it running every night we’re on the hook, and casually glance at it from bed just to be sure we’re holding. I wouldn’t anchor without it.
