Anchor Watch for Positive User Reviews
✓ It works!Anchor Watch is worth it's weight in gold. It very probably saved me from dragging onto leeward moored boats......... and all the embarassment that would have involved! It really does what it supposed to do. Just remember to set the "run in background" setting to on..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Anchor watch 1.1.3Well, being a Captain and owning a new iphone 4, l was a bit sceptical about just how good this was going to be. I have anchor alarms on my more expensive GPS`s in the wheelhouse. Was on a pick today on stand bye to a barge in the Gas & OIl business. l set the Anchor Watch on 20.6m (+/- 14.5m) and it did all the right things with the accuracy of the two GPS`s to compare it with. SO I AM IMPRESSED WITH A LITTLE HAND HELD ANCHOR WATCH.You can be in the bunk and if you drag you are awoken straight away with a loud alarm noise if you drift outside the area you have set........ Its great. Stoked !!!!!.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Not working on iPhone 12 proI have used this app for a couple of years now successfully. I just upgraded my phone to an iphone12 pro, and am unable to drop anchor anymore. The drop anchor icon is inoperable. Hope this gets addressed..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Works Well For MeI have not had any problem at all with the app. Simple, straight forward. Do be sure to have device plugged in when using overnight just in case phone dies. After my last anchor dragging episode I set three alarms! Thank God for TowBoatUS. Didn’t cost me a penny!.Version: 2.10.0
✓ Works for me.This app gets the job done. Any gps app will chew up the battery... So it would not be fair to complain about that aspect. It works in real world tests. I have used it to check fror anchor drag and a quick lunch stop. When I am overnighting on the hook, I plug in the phone to the 12v cigarette adapter on the boat and sleep easier. I would like to be able to add and or alter the alarm sounds. The warning email should state the last known position. I would prefer a more LCARS type interface... But I am a geek. A good buy.Version: 2.3.3
✓ Great appThis app has been working well for several years. It does the basic alarm plus many other things like send out a Txt message alarm, great for lunch or dinner outings.Version: 2.8.1
✓ Used for yearsConsistent performance and used many, many times for a reassuring watch at night at anchor. For those who set the ring at 10m remember that GPS wanders. A realistic ring is 100m because you swing the length of the scope anyway. A great app that works. Thank you..Version: 2.10.0
✓ Godsend! Straightforward and reliable.This is the fourth anchor watch app I have downloaded and it really works! Unlike the others, frankly. The add on features are valuable too - calling out to another phone if the boat moves outside the circle you yourself define. Or changes heading. Strongly recommended..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Anchor watchWe have found it to be very easy to use and reliable- I would recommend to boating friends.Version: 2.8.1
✓ Best anchor watch app on iphoneFantastic app! no other anchor watch or geofencing app for the iphone can raise an automatic alarm without constantly sending enormous amounts of data to some external server web site. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Five stars, thanks!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Saved our bacon but…I’m giving this app four stars because it no kidding saved our bacon when a pop up thunderstorm w/ 80 mph winds came up and we drug. The notification gave us time to get the engine started and save the ship from hitting a marker piling. That said, this app would be more helpful if a great deal more instruction were provided w/ it. It doesn’t discuss where or how to set the anchor position and it doesn’t seem to differentiate between the boat position and the anchor position i.e. it shows one boat icon, not a boat icon w/ a separate anchor icon. Do I set the app at the location I dropped the anchor or do I set it after I let out scope and have backed down and set the anchor? It also supposedly provides connection between iOS devices using iCloud but provides no instruction on how to do that…and it is not intuitive. It also has some sort of ability to push notifications over an app called Pushover but again, provides no documentation on how to do that. So, it works but it takes a lot of experimentation to figure it out..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Can't sleep without itWe use this anchor alarm about 30 nights a year on the hook. My girlfriend had trouble sleeping before we started using it. I tried a few others but like the user interface on this one. The add on maps are also nice. We run it on two phones for additional backup, and we have used the two phone setup to alert us if the boat moves while we are on shore..Version: 2.7.1
