Anchor Alarm with Late Set

We are at anchor most of the time and this app has been giving me peace of mind for about the last 4 years or so. It keeps improving and the features generally work well for us. The only bit missing is a sharing feature so I can leave a device on board and share the monitoring with my phone from shore. Then, it’d feel complete. Dark mode is appreciated tho the track and circle could contrast a bit better especially under low brightness. I really appreciate the anchorages tab as it gives an overall view if others have been in an area before as well as seeing ahead of a passage some popular or possible spots for anchoring. Really great when you go to unfamiliar places. It’s really one of my top favorite features. I use this app in tandem with another where I can remotely monitor from shore. I like the backup but this one is still the first I check and set. Thank you.

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.”

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.
