Great Anchor Watch App

By GordonC53 (Pcmac user)

Just took a trip from Seattle to Glacier Bay AK and back using this app and it worked great. Just launch the app when you are ready to the app and set the the app location when you drop the hook. It will track the boat position from that point forward showing on the screen everywhere the boat has been since the set. It allows you to then set a radius alarm for any distance but since it will show the boat position when you back up to set the the app you will see the radius at that time. Very reassuring to know how your boat is tracking and to do a quick check at night. It does consume a lot of battery so we run it with an iPad left charging. The app works in background as long as you don't close the app so you can use your device for other things and come back to the app and it will show the tracks made since you left it. Need to put your device in a location where it both gets GPS and someone can hear the alarm. Anywhere in the main cabin worked for us. It works with or without internet.
Outstanding stand-alone, remote monitoring is poor

By Carsten999 (Pcmac user)

This app is one of the best stand-alone the app alarms that I’ve come across. It’s very easy to setup, and it worked as advertised throughout the night. The initial tutorial is helpful. I would give it 4-5 stars for the stand-alone features. One issue is that the alarm functions like any other sound. You can’t put DnD mode or set it to vibrate on your phone. This would be desirable, since I often get text messages at all hours and would like to set DnD but get audible the app alarms. Most importantly, however, I paid for the app to use its remote monitoring feature. There is no tutorial for it, the FAQ/manual is sparse, and I couldn’t get it to work properly. I was hoping to find an the app alarm that allows monitoring iOS device-to-device with alarm on the remote phone. I couldn’t get it to work, and I have programming background. At best it’s not user friendly, at worst the feature doesn’t work properly.
Great app - however

By Raymanak (Pcmac user)

Used the app for over a week and found it very useful. It was a challenge to move the the app icon when setting the the app as it was too small. Also, the vessel icon was so small that it was difficult to find in the track lines if you move around a lot. I woke up every two hours for a week to verify our position and found we were in the position as shown on the app. Only on a few cases did we exceed the perimeter and activate the alarm for some reason. There was no wind and light current and the perimeter circle was 180ft beyond the the app distance, just a few spikes out and back - go figure. Better to be safe than sorry. In any case we will continue to use the app.
Better than any others we’ve tried

By Capt Lothar (Pcmac user)

Relatively easy to use, especially like the ability to move the estimated position of the the app. It could be a bit more polished, for example, it’s unclear how to stop or put it into standby or turn off. Tutorial is also not easy to follow.
