As a new Boat owner, this app is given me piece at nigh. I can anchor up and not worry about if we are moving. The app is so easy to use.

Great app

I’m loving this app and have really been depending on it when the wind picks up over 20knots. It gives me great confidence visualising the anchor holding.

Saved Us Many Times

On the boat while cruising, Anchor Alarm is always on when we anchor and keeps us aware of our situation so we can have a safe nights rest. The alarms don’t leave anything to chance and having this app reduces our anxiety because it’s so accurate.
