GPS position updates at random.
Not sure what the issue is but the gps position updates at random unless you wiggle /shake the device. Both on iPad and iPhone. I have the latest IOS version. Got way out of my alarm radius during a storm and almost hit a boat and ended up in a dock in 25mph winds. Emailed support and never got a response back. Disappointed.
Best out there.
Simple, straightforward, reliable. Very easy to re-learn after not using for awhile. The alarm is VERY ALARMING, which is a good thing. You will NOT sleep through it. I highly recommend this app. I’ve use it in anchorages from San Francisco Bay to Puerto Vallarta and beyond.
Helps me sleep at night.
Helps me sleep at night. I like seeing the tracks.
Great philosophy in today’s sick world!
I haven’t even used the app yet, but I bought it because of the principal: no ads, no “subscriptions”, all features included, from an honest developer, selling for an honest price. Thank you!
Too many problems, no support
Functionally this could be a great app. However the UI is difficult and the documentation is thin and hard to understand. Attmots to get help were fruitless. Seems like the app is no longer supported.
Best anchor watch app, period
I’ve used this app for years and have never found anything more accurate. Love the constant feedback that we are still swinging in the same arc
Peace of Mind
App is indispensable to us. Anchoring shallow waters of the Bahamas, Caribbean & east coast USA, this app reliably & precisely monitors our anchor and boat position while anchored through good weather or bad.
An Outstanding 5 Star App
An outstanding app. It is simple and intuitive to use and provides a clear perspective of the surroundings. I especially like and use the arc radius feature which allows me to narrow down my radius of safety to a cone of safety. I sail singlehanded, often for days at a time, heaving-to for sleeping; and use the alarm to wake myself before traveling out of my safe area (sometimes up to several miles). The arc feature allows me to set an anticipated safe forward distance and also wakes me if there has been a significant change in my boat’s direction.
Good
I wish I could ‘drop anchor’ from my Apple Watch. I’m not standing up on the pulpit with my phone out. lol
