Description

ANCHOR ALARM
The Anchor Alarm app lets you feel safe and secure when on anchor.
You get instant alerts and notifications when your anchor drags or the GPS reception degrades.

The app comes with an option for late set: in case you forget to set the alarm when you drop the anchor, you can still do it later.
You can also adjust the anchor position manually on the map screen.
You can also manually enter the anchor coordinates, in case you saved them on another device.
If you decide to take your device ashore, you can pause the alarm and reactivate it later, when you return.
You can choose between circular area or you can draw a custom area on the map.

The boat movement is recorded and a track is displayed on the map screen.
The app runs in the background and requires no internet connection.
The app supports dark mode and has simple and native user interface.

FIND MY BOAT
The app can remember the location of your boat when you leave and point you to its location later.
In can also point to your last anchor position in case you forgot to set the boat position.
Useful in crowded anchorages or when on your dinghy.

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
The application allows you to personalize your experience through customizable settings such as:

• The time before a bad GPS accuracy alarm is triggered

APPLE WATCH APP

Great app for cruising sailors.

Initially I had some questions regarding using the app, the developer responded very quickly and was helpful. There are a few quirks to get used to, such as the display always reading North up, but once you understand how it works it works great.

The app itself is a lifesaver. I sleep better at night with it running in the background on my phone. The car horn alert wakes me instantly. If you’re a cruising boat and basically live on the hook, this app is a must have. I tried a couple different ones, including the ones included with my navigation software, but this app is the easiest to use and works as advertised. I use it every day and highly recommend it.

Decent with questionable links

The app itself is what I have found to be the best regarding our anchoring practices. They have improved upon features however the latest are questionable. They paired with a company “boat vitals” but that company hasn’t put out any updates since July of 2020. They say you need their device which includes a few years of monitoring but nowhere is the price mentioned. That’s a huge red flag right there. Why advertise if your prices are secret?

We are actively traveling outside of the US so internet availability is spotty and even when we have a connection, the quality ranges from almost good to very poor. Such a service is useless.

What I have also found out is that without internet, you get zero visualizations. No circle, no trace, no map. There is no caching of data. The only way to tell if it is working is using your distance from the anchor coordinates.

Too many companies cater to those within more developed areas and zero support for those who travel outside those areas. I mean, that’s the point of using anchor apps, because you are actively traveling and looking for something to keep your stuff safe when not in network, right?

I see nowhere anything about sunsets or sunrises or moon phase. App updated this morning. I’ve been without internet for 2 weeks and come back to this hot mess.

Anchor Alarm Excelent

Ten day sail from Pensacola, Fl to Mexico Beach/Port St Joe and back. Experienced many rough storms and anchor drug twice, Anchor Alarm alerted us with a plenty loud signal, not too loud. Easy to use, 35 ft Oday with about a 60 ft anchor line. (10 ft depth below keal) Set Alarm distance at 80 ft, GPS accuracy at 30 ft, draw trace - on (this draws where the boat moves as wind changes or anchor drags), Show Accuracy circle-on, anchor alarm as “doorbell”, Sounds to low volume warning -on…. SLEPT PEACEFULLY, though I am old and as I woke during the night a couple times and visually checked our position for added peace of mind and “all was well.”
