Anchor Watch Pro / Alarm

Works as planned. Very happy. Sleep better at night.

Great functional App. Excellent support. Well worth the cost

Great App and excellent support. Upgraded from the free version and the paid version would crash if I saved settings on exit. Contacted support who responded rapidly and published 2 updated versions to fix the problem. All this within a few hours of reporting it. Well done.

We live aboard and are circumnavigating. This app does everything we need. Love the heatmap which helps us get the radius right if we set the alarm after anchoring.

A five star app. I tried several anchor alarm apps but this is the one I now always use when anchored or when I pick up a mooring buoy. So good I upgraded to the pro version - something I hardly ever do. I would recommend this app to anyone who spends time at anchor or on a swinging mooring.

I'm glad that I supported this developer - this app is amazing and is worth way more than the asked price. Thank you!

This app seams very straight forward and easy to use/learn. It's letting me sleep easy this weekend.

Great App! The boat now has her own phone and will text me if she's not feeling comfortable with the anchorage! ...and I can text her just to check in. ...and I can set an alarm if the wind changes and we are suddenly being pushed towards the rocks I was happy to buy the pro version to give me a little more control when away from the boat. The price was reasonable, so everybody is happy. You can always ask for more, but this app does its job better than any other APP I've found, so it gets full marks from me! Thanks Peckish Sloth!

Excellent app by the pro version for more features..

I was planning to leave an android phone on my boat at anchor while camping on the beach and having it send sms messages to my phone on the beach. This App is designed perfectly for it but my phone will not update the gps position after about 10-30 minutes. I was hoping the that by tightening all the screws on the back of the phone the antenna connection (pressure connection) would fix this issue. It added accuracy to the GPS but did not fix my problem. App is perfect but I am not sure whether it is the APP or the phone that is causing the APP not to receive GPS fixes after about 10-30 minutes. The APP deserves five stars but since I could not get it to work on my phone I gave it four stars.

I've tried a few anchor alarm programs and this is the best of them IMHO. It has been flawless. We spent last night at a mooring with the wind at 25 knots and this app running all night (after all, how can you completely trust a mooring without diving on it?). I slept well. Update: it just keeps getting better with every new version!

My favorite anchor alarm yet. It runs in the background so the screen can sleep. I run it on my cell phone and the battery lasts all night. I know i sleep better when its on. Places for improvement: the option to set the anchor using lat and long, the option to set the anchor from the map with a click and drag. The ability to play with the swing arc by click and drag from the map. If its possible, be able to select a 4th type of map layout from a chart plotter app. Thanks for this great app.

Used it first the other night on a slightly dodgy anchorage. It woke me up following a wind change which was ideal and gave me the confidence to relax! Used this rather than my chart plotter due to its very low power consumption on my Samsung tablet.

Alarm plays very quiet if you have your phone playing music through a Bluetooth stereo. Alarm should have an option to play through phone speakers always or should at least default to always play at full volume. Even if I turn the music down on the phone the alarm is fairly quiet. Clearly the best looking app and very easy to use. But the alarm being obvious is important.

Should have stuck with the free version which worked fine. Thus stupid soppy paid version now alarms its head off every few minutes, even when I've unchecked the GPS signal alarm. Pathetic.

Was a great app until I transferred to new samsung s7 active. Program crashes after launch. Does it work with marshmallow?

We used the Lite version for a while and then upgraded to Pro, mostly for the location logging. This really helps determine definitively if you have dragged or monitor wind shifts for example while waiting out a cold front. However, you can't leave it on for too long or it runs out of memory and the app crashes. Then you have to uninstall and reinstall, and if you're without wifi/data as is often the case when anchoring, then it's back to using Lite. I try to reset daily to avoid this but sometimes forget.

When putting out the anchor, I am too busy to think about setting the anchor alarm on my phone but with this app, you can accurately set the alarm after the fact. It works great. I deploy the anchor at a known length of rode then back down the boat against the anchor to see if it holds. This program let's me see in real time how far the anchor drags before it sets or if it does not set at all. I now sleep well knowing this alarm will sound if my anchor starts to move.

Since upgrade to Android 6.0 everything is working, but not yet field tested.

Used it while at anchor last night. Easy to use and worked perfect so had a good night's sleep knowing i would be woken only if i drifted too far.

Peace of mind when trying to get a good night sleep.

Anchor watch

Used the lite version for a while, then upgraded to the pro version. Wouldn't be without it. Reduces stress of cruising anchorages. Many thanks!

Great little app. Simple to use and all of the features I want in an anchor alarm.

Nexus 4 works very well so far does need external power on mine to last more than 7hrs .

Other then that great job.

Just used it for the first time anchored in F6 winds, able to watch the track as we swing gives confidence that the pick is holding. Especially useful at night.

Love this app. Can now sleep at ease while anchored over night. Stays running even when phone sleeps

Seems excellent. A great asset.

By far the bes!!t app I have found, pro vers!ion is well worth if.

Best app there is, finally there is a PRO version as well!

Great functional App. Excellent support. Well worth the cost
