✓ Blinking continuouslySince the last iPad update, it does not work well, blink every second..Sylvie3Version: 5.08

✓ Great app - howeverUsed the app for over a week and found it very useful. It was a challenge to move the anchor icon when setting the anchor as it was too small. Also, the vessel icon was so small that it was difficult to find in the track lines if you move around a lot. I woke up every two hours for a week to verify our position and found we were in the position as shown on the app. Only on a few cases did we exceed the perimeter and activate the alarm for some reason. There was no wind and light current and the perimeter circle was 180ft beyond the anchor distance, just a few spikes out and back - go figure. Better to be safe than sorry. In any case we will continue to use the app..RaymanakVersion: 5.01

✓ Hate itWow - it’s got a tutorial!! Managed to get to 2/10 - how do you get to 3/10??? Not intuitive..PetrosKitVersion: 6.20

✓ CrashCrash..I got stoogedVersion: 5.01

✓ Drags too much batteryUnfortunately the app drags too much battery even with settings to save battery, etc. tried everything I could to extent he batt life but no luck. Overall it’s a good app..Parafas777Version: 5.08

✓ Poor position reliabilitySeems odd that the GPS on my phone is easily accurate enough to navigate, but constantly loses its position with this anchor alarm. The only thing worse than no anchor alarm is one that constantly gives a false alarm. The developer will blame the iPhone, but every other app that uses my phone, and as a sailor and traveller there’s a lot of them, has no accuracy issues right down to my Garmin driving app. Waking up at 3am to an alarm showing you took off across an island for a second, but you’re back now, is unacceptable and unreliable.CRM LtdVersion: 6.20

✓ Outstanding stand-alone, remote monitoring is poorThis app is one of the best stand-alone anchor alarms that I’ve come across. It’s very easy to setup, and it worked as advertised throughout the night. The initial tutorial is helpful. I would give it 4-5 stars for the stand-alone features. One issue is that the alarm functions like any other sound. You can’t put DnD mode or set it to vibrate on your phone. This would be desirable, since I often get text messages at all hours and would like to set DnD but get audible anchor alarms. Most importantly, however, I paid for the app to use its remote monitoring feature. There is no tutorial for it, the FAQ/manual is sparse, and I couldn’t get it to work properly. I was hoping to find an anchor alarm that allows monitoring iOS device-to-device with alarm on the remote phone. I couldn’t get it to work, and I have programming background. At best it’s not user friendly, at worst the feature doesn’t work properly..Carsten999Version: 5.08

✓ App crashingIn the last week, we have not been able to use the app at all. It crashes repeatedly upon opening. We are not the only ones experiencing this problem. Is there a fix in the works??.CapturedmicheVersion: 5.08

✓ Clunky old designThe program works but has a very old fashioned UI. Could not get the email notification to work and received no reply after emailing the developer. Thee are free apps that work as well..CatfastVersion: 6.20

✓ Was greatI have used this app for the last3 years and it’s been excellent. In the last week it won’t download satellite images and now won’t show me my track. I have checked the setting and both are on..Andy120592Version: 6.1

✓ Wish I didn’t pay money for this.Absolutely annoying app that thinks you’re at anchor and gives you alerts without you actually turning it on..HfdsvggbbVersion: 5.08

✓ Hard to learnI’m sure this app does a lot - if only you could figure out how to use it! But simple things, like clearing the tracks to begin afresh are not at all obvious. I had to turn it off when I most needed it because of poor usability..Riot PhreakVersion: 5.08

✓ Worst app ever!!Alarm goes off constantly, had to delete app to make it stop. Waste of time and money. Much better available..Jf57453Version: 5.01

✓ Didn’t work - maps not accuratelyJust bought this and it has our boat on land. Doesn’t even have the bay we are in on Lake Ontario..SomefamilyVersion: 5.01

✓ Alarm goes off in errorDoesn’t work anymore. Boat slides out of radius (in app) and triggers alarm when there has been no boat movement. The boat then slides back in place so you can see there is no issue, but the damage (broken sleep) has already been done. It has happened multiple times - as recent as last night. I have loved this app but have to look for another one today. We need something reliable..123tenby727Version: 6.20

✓ Your app needs some extrasYour anchor watch works well. Only problem I have is that there is no clear or reset button when you move to another anchor spot. Plus your tutorial needs a move ahead button not just skip which cancels the tutorial totally..Arax397Version: 5.08

✓ Standard anchor monitor with remote capability2 stars because I need to go into town and I’m trying to set up the system. iPad is the Sender to the iPhone. It worked a week ago and today I’m resetting tracks and such. I send the invite to my phone but it keeps pulling up old location and data. Stand-alone is fine but when I go to remote, it’s not. I’ve uninstalled it to redo on my phone hoping to reset data but in trying to find this app, I found others. So I’m gonna give them a try first. The frustration for the clunky interface and wonky use is not worth it. Stand-alone is OK. There are better apps for standalone. Probably remote, too..Em AnniVersion: 6.20

✓ Maps/CartesLes cartes de nos ancrages favoris devraient pouvoir être téléchargés dans l'app pour pouvoir être utilisées hors-ligne ou l'app devrait pouvoir utiliser les cartes vectorielles de l'app Navionics The maps are only available online, the app should be able to download ou favorite anchorage map to be used offline or be able to access Navionics maps stored on my phone..Blanik_65478954_gggVersion: 5.01

✓ 😕This app is for drag alarms what Helen Keller was to volley ball.Timmy7519327Version: 5.01

✓ Doesn't callLatest iOS update prevents this app calling a phone number so if leaving boat need to download two apps on different phones and link them using remote mode.TTiimm1298Version: 5.01

✓ Need some help!I downloaded the “Anchor!” App today after Active Captain comments as to how good it is. The instructions in the app are straight forward, however I have been unable to get the app to accept my “sending” email and it keeps asking me to redo it saying it is not a correct email. When I enter it and do a “test” it works. Then forgets it. I must be doing something wrong however I cannot determine what after 10-12 retries. We are cruising the Chesapeake Bay and could use a good app. Can someone please advise what I’m missing?.1952Bella-DogVersion: 5.01
