Anchor Watch for Negative User Reviews
✓ Crashes half the time. Poor instructions.If 1/2 the time is good enough, get it..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Nice, but not working correctly.The main screen graphics do not change to illustrate on/off via anchor down/up. The radar page does not offer the setting adjustments the manual suggests, which means no adjustment is possible on the range which will trigger the alarm. Great idea, but not working correctly on my iPad..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Very poor appI downloaded this app as a friend told me it was good, I have only had it for about an hour the general settings screen is frozen I can't access the help, support or add maps. Not a good start. The principle looks ok but the GPS trace is all over the place so a bigger drag factor must be used. Not impressed by this app..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Stay AwayOn my 2015 iPhone 6, this app was unresponsive. Soft keys only work sometimes. No readily available documentation. Would not trust my boat, or my life, with this software..Version: 2.7.3
✓ Does not workThis thing appears to work when you set it up but when I move the boat the alarm never happens. Either it's useless or the interface is deceiving..Version: 2.7.8
✓ Doesn’t alarmI haven’t been able to get it to alarm. Other reviews are 4 years old. I’m assuming it has not been maintained. Will delete it and buy a different one..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Nice concept, but unreliable !Great concept, and pretty good interface. Although the methods are a bit clunky, it's nice to be able to refine/adjust the anchor position after settling into an anchorage. HOWEVER, the app crashes (freezes) after about 10 hours of operation... rather dangerous if you are relying on getting a drift alert which never happens. I don't use this one any more, but given the low price it was fun having a play with it. The ChrisParsons app is more reliable, but unfortunately doesn't have the position adjust, so you have to get it right first time..Version: 2.2.2
✓ RubbishFrozen.Version: 2.9.0
✓ Poor ui. Not goodHopeless application. Waste of money.Version: 2.8.0
✓ WorthlessWill not even open. Emailed support and have had no response so far. Will update review if appropriate. I'd recommend Drag Queen as a free anchor alarm app that actually works..Version: 2.7.4
✓ Doesn't workNice interface, but doesn't work on my phone. Wouldn't rely on $2 app to safeguard $$$$ catamaran.Version: 2.7.0
✓ No AlarmIt would be great if it made an audible Alarm n my phone. Not much use otherwise.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Does not SMS using carrier providerThe app is hard configured to only send SMS via Messagebird account and con not be configured to utilise mobile phone providers SMS..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Does not workSeveral attempts, 2 hours time, product never acquired GPS location on iPhone. Purchased supplemental overlay maps as prompted by the app however they also did not work. Unfortunate because otherwise the app appears to have a good user interface design..Version: 2.7.8
✓ Used to be greatNot working correctly now on either device..Version: 2.10.0
✓ Upgrade worseThe new version appears to have lost several useful aspects of the version it has replaced: The vessel sometimes ‘disappears’ No breadcrumbs are left as the vessel moves - this was quite useful. The display shows Lat & Long but the box at top left just shows 2 rows of red dashes... what should be displayed here?? No distance and bearing to anchor is shown. The ability to use range and bearing to adjust relative position of anchor appears to have disappeared. Dragging the anchor to a guessed position is not as useful. Does the App now send message to another phone? This feature seems to have been lost?!! Whilst accepting that developments are necessary, the new version seems a step backwards. Very disappointing..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Help!I've been trying to find help for an hour... Useless without it!.Version: 2.7.8
✓ HopelessIt does not work.Version: 2.8.1
✓ Rubbish.Keeps turning off. Never sure if it’s working. Does not alarm if phone ringer set to silent. Bugs not fixed over past 2 years. Find another product to use..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Hmmm...I have to admit I was surprised to find I was dragging my anchor and had drifted outside the 10m radius twice in ten minutes, especially as I was testing it whilst sitting on a park bench....Version: 2.2.0
✓ Good be better but usefullNot a bad app but complicated to use.Version: 2.9.0
✓ Hmm a BIG glitchGreat program love the phone call bit. Problem is this if your phone has powered down after the 2 or 3 mins to save battery or you are writing a review about an app well it just vibrates and the way I sleep..... Another similar app has overcome this but hasn't got the nice email phone call extra which is nice. Oh small other problem if I leave the phone on the Boat to monitor it who will it call? One more probably my not understanding the app how do u get it to shut up! A click on the ' all hands on deck' u would think but uh uh. Please answer these problems it's a good app I would pay much more if it was streamlined..Version: 2.4.5
✓ IanqvCant work out how to use it! It would appear you need to download maps. But it does not say how or where from or how much! Not much use really!.Version: 2.8.1
✓ Not Reliable!Good interface and functionality, but just randomly stops by its self. You never can be sure if it’s on! No effective support that I can find? Seems others having the same experience..Version: 2.9.0
✓ Anchor WatchGood idea, looks great but unless you want to be up several times in the night with false alarms don't bother. Paid extra for the offline maps to find they're coverage is limited. Useless in the Caribbean..Version: 2.7.5
✓ Terrible appAsks to download maps and pay more..Version: 2.7.5
✓ Not current for IOS 13Have an IPhone XS which has no home button. No user manual where indicated, no way to move around. Deleting.Version: 2.9.0
✓ CrashesJust updated app now crashes on startup tried reinstalling no joy os 8.41.Version: 2.7.7
✓ 1.1.2 has a bug in the radius - wait for the next versionThe new developments are very welcome but the bug on the radar radius screen is now a very real problem. You can allegedly increase the swing radius to 200 meters, but it looks to be out by a factor of 10 i.e. it is only about 20m! So not a lot use as you would need to be in shallow water with a short scope for this to have a chance. I would still like the ability to move the place on screen where you dropped the anchor. I'm looking forward to version 1.1.3, in fairness to the guys they are pushing the fixes out fairly promptly..Version: 1.1.2
✓ This app is not worth a penny. It is a worthless.Crap. If you trust this app you will be sorry.Version: 2.7.8
✓ Bad interface, annoying sound effectsThis app does the job of alarming when you leave a specified area, but it's annoying sound effects, and useless animated anchor makes it a pain to use..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Total garbageDidn’t work at all. Alarms start sounding the second you’re not actively looking at the app and we weren’t dragging anchor at all. Fix your gps positioning running in the background. Don’t waste your money..Version: 2.8.1
