Reviews: What People Think About Anchor Pro
siperonose
Rating: 5/5
Anchor Pro is ALMOST perfect. Being able to point towards your anchor rode and get bearing and being able to input chain length is absolutely fantastic. Having the ability to communicate back to me when I’m away, is absolutely game changing. Yes, it does require the device you leave to have a SIM and data … but isnt your peace of mind worth it? The app is fabulous. I only find ONE PROBLEM: my ipad sometimes looses GPS accuracy. It goes to 726 ft or 1100 something ft. For some time. I would love to be able to set a treshold of getting back to 16ft or similar GPS accuracy. If the accuracy drops, it usually does to absurd levels, like >100ft. There is no point in sounding an alarm for that, it’s just inaccurate. This is the only thing missing on this fantastic app.

The app does what it’s designed for and does it well. I used it in 14-18mph winds and a high tidal flow area so the boat had a 180 degree swing. As I monitored our position on multiple devices this app was relatively accurate ( iOS gps accuracy could be better) . The interface is very intuitive and straight forward. All in all great job sloth
Suggestions : 1-provide an icon to increase / decrease radius or maybe allow user to drop anchor and then have a settling period where you monitor the speed and drift to determine anchor heading along with rode deployed
2- allow anchor review input , maybe ask for specific info like protection , bottom holding , need wash down , etc and link to active captain account to feed reviews. You could also pull anchorage info from AC and provide a richer Experince to users
3- with tracking of boat movement allow changing the track color , the current color is hard to see in certain lighting
4- Scan WiFi connection for nema2000 GPS and allow to switch to it as primary GPS for higher accuracy. Maybe even have redundancy and intelligence to validate on device against another ( I have two GPS on the boat , one for ais, one for navigation + the iOS device )

Thanks for contacting me ... look forward to seeing the enhancements

I have been on a mooring in Catalina which has bow and stern pickups so needless to say the boat stays in one place. I set my alarm with a 60 foot radius. The alarm went off three times during the night and we had not moved. It seems the accuracy of the gps is not very precise compared to other devices. This needs to be taken into account when setting distance. Due to this you will need to set your radius further than most would like diminishing the whole premise of the app. ALSO the feature in which you can reset the position of the anchor by dragging it on the map (which is a great idea) does not work on my devise which is an iPhone. Otherwise I think the ease of use and design is great.
About Anchor Pro
SET THE ANCHOR
Anchor Pro allows you to set the anchor location directly as you are setting the anchor, or specify the location of the anchor later by providing distance and bearing to the anchor. More advanced users can also specify the coordinates of the anchor.
SPECIFY ALLOWED AREA
You can specify the allowed area to be a simple circle around the anchor location, or opt for a more advanced area by providing two different distances at specific angles.
MONITOR THE MOVEMENT
The application provides you with enough data to keep you on top of every movement of the boat. You can review all the data from the main screen or graphically check position on the map where you can also see how the boat moved around — perfect for analysis if the anchor is holding or dragging.
GET ALERTED WHEN NEEDED
The application allows monitoring of the position, GPS reception, and battery level. You can get alerted when any of those metrics reach certain thresholds.
REMOTE ALERTS
When you are not on a boat you can leave the phone there and get alerted in the event of an alarm. You can be alerted via instant message using a Telegram app or via an email message. With Telegram, you can also request the status of the application at any moment.
APPLE WATCH
You can use the Apple Watch app to always have distance, bearing and battery level available in real-time — from your wrist.
