A bit buggy

Have used this app for a couple of years. For some reason it has gotten buggy. Looses track of where I drop. Plus it has position lines zooming out of anchor circle all over the place.

Mostly works

After using for about a week, I had a false alarm one night. No big deal, make the radius a little bigger and go back to sleep. Except due to some bug the alarm would not shut off. Make the radius huge, turn off the alarm button, nothing worked. So I force quit and reopened the app. Apparently the app doesn’t save your anchor position or track data, so now I have no idea if I’m actually dragging. The bug is unfortunate but tolerable, but throwing away my anchor position completely makes the app worthless in the middle of the night. Only supports metric, so you have to convert in your head if you use feet.
