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. ANCHORAGES MAP The app includes a map of more than 8000 anchorages around the world for free, showing depths where available. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE The application allows you to personalize your experience through customizable settings such as: • measurement units • alarm sounds • GPS accuracy threshold • The time before a bad GPS accuracy alarm is triggered APPLE WATCH APP The app supports Apple Watch. In addition to the distance to the anchor and GPS accuracy, you can monitor the boat speed and heading. SIRI SUPPORT You can create Siri shortcuts to start and stop monitoring.

    This app is awesome, it is rough and dark. I would normally stay up all night. I sleep through the night. Just make sure your phone is plugged in.
  • Great app.

    Used this for the first time, while sitting on anchor in 30-35 knot winds overnight. It worked great, alerted me twice, but I had set the meters at a lower amount. Really do recommend this app, my boat friends wish it could be used for Android.

    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.”
  • 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.

    Missing late set which allowed better way to locate anchor distance from boat. Current setting sets position at current location. This may be at helm at stern of boat assume 50’ scope 10’ water and boat length 38’ I have spun around anchor 180 degrees and am now 150’ from where set. Anchor location is only about 1/2 or ~78’ can’t just leave alarm distance at 165’ as I continue to swing with wind change. Not useful

    I have used this app for nearly 3 years, they recently changed the appearance, which I don’t care for but am happy to live with. The real problem is the reliability. I am a full time live aboard and have used this app almost daily for the past 20 months. It began to be finicky a few months ago, but with the recent changes it’s now useless DON’T WAIST YOUR TIME Ryan
  • Wow. Now we can sleep!

    I cruise on a Jeanneau 42DS and I just want to say I love this app, it’s fantastic. So simple and so effective. One of the things I like the most is that almost every time I use it I forget to turn it off and while I’m leaving that anchorage the car horn starts beeping, often through my boat stereo, reminding me that it has silently been doings its job in the background protecting my boat. Thanks for an amazing app and thanks for selling it to me for one price and not trying to rent it to me.
