Remote function does not work

Installed on both my iphone and iPad. Paid for and activated remote monitoring. Restored purchases on my phone. Started an anchor session on iPad, I can see it in the remote monitoring screen but it doesn’t show in the remote monitoring on the phone.

Even the track sharing function is useless as when received on the phone by email or sms, it doesn’t show and map background.

Useless and waste of money. I tried using the support link. None of the links on the developer website work.

Would not recommend

Alarm does not make a noise goes to snooze

Not usable

LIES

It says it will work in the background, but it does not! That is FALSE ADVERTISING!

Waste.

This DOES NOT run in the background. I tried using it all summer, it resets and asks you to re drop your anchor!! Terrible.

No stars

This app is supposed to run in the background. Which it doesn’t. I just set it last night and when I got up this morning it’s wanting me to drop the anchor? What a waste. Give this one a pass
