Don’t waste your money
Single-D
I was looking forward to using this app after reading the reviews but lets give an honest review under practical application. I sail/anchor in Mexico where there is little cellular coverage in remote places. The first night we used it the alarm went off at 2 a.m., after checking my other anchor drag apps we determined we had not moved at all. The next day went to check our position and the app had lost my position all together and I had to set to last position. I used the app for three weeks straight every day and it frequently just lost our position and had to be reset to last position, I had to set the position manually every time, and the use of the app is not intuitive as you would expect it to be. It would be nice to have the app always be on so you could quickly glance at your position and know everything is ok but it goes to sleep and most time just loses you position. This app is frighting enough I would even like my money back and I will not use this in the future.

What happened to the old app?
Slightly Irritated User
I’ve been using the app for years and loved it. Simple and straight forward and reliable. When I used the app at the end of last season it was great! Went to use it for the first time this year and what happened to it? It Is not even close to the same. In fact I closed it out and looked through my apps to see if had opened a different anchor app. It is now so complicated and does not show your track in your anchor circle so you know where you have been swinging. It no longer has augmented reality which is a feature I loved. It’s not easy to set your anchor radius distance. There is too much “stuff” on the screen and too many different screens now. I could go on and on. Needless to say I am now looking for a new anchor app. Too bad they had to go and ruin it. I hate it!
Not Reliable...but a well planned app
s.v providence
I downloaded this to monitor remotely, it’s one of the only anchor alarm apps that allows real-time tracking via another device. This is a fantastic feature. Unfortunately the app on my iPhone and two other iPhones will freeze. We live aboard our yacht and our anchor position is vital to our safety. This is a secondary anchor alarm to supplement our main chartplotters anchor alarm which is rock solid, however even as a backup, it has to work. Any freezing or crashing is simply unacceptable for something so important. If the developers can get that issue worked out, this will be the best alarm app on the store by miles.

Kindly upgrade the latest version in order to fix the issue. It is no more freeze or unexpected crash. It is reliable.
