In the Arctic

I had to ride out a gale in Greenland this fall. I needed to make sure I wasn’t dragging anchor. This app worked well and helped me sleep through the windy conditions.

Need an option to use coordinates to input anchor location. And I can’t figure out if it’s possible but to adjust the anchor circle if needed. And it would be nice to restart it pause an old spot.

Hi Ty, You can definitely do this! Set the Anchor as usual, then use Tap to Edit for Custom Coordinates. If you need further help, feel free to reach out to us at support@predictwind.com. The PredictWind Team

Not ready for prime time

This app is pretty useless.

- Can’t adjust anchor position or radius once alert set.

- can’t set anchor position by lat/long.

- if you update the app after setting alert, you loose everything

- Records/Displays spot locations at a specified interval as boat moves at anchor. Would be nice to connect the dots and see the actual track.

… to name a few

(Big fan and user of PredictWind but this app is written to a different standard )

Hi Ted Have you been in contact with support yet to seek assistance these issues? It looks like your Anchor Alert App is not the latest version, so that could explain the strange behaviour. Your last session was using Version 2.0.3.28 . The latest in the app store is version 2.0.7.3. Could you please delete the app, and reinstall from the App store. We're continuously developing the Anchor Alert App and truly welcome your thoughts to make it more robust. If you encounter more issues, email us at support@predictwind.com so we can investigate and resolve them. Thank you for being a valued user! ⚓️

Does what it says

Works well with our datahub.

Frechheit. Da gibts viele andere Apps die weniger kosten und mehr können. Predictwind sollte sich schämen, durch Gier den guten Markennamen kaputt zu machen.

Hallo Chris, wir bieten eine kostenlose Version an, um Ihren Anker zu überwachen, während Sie auf dem Boot sind. Für Benachrichtigungen beim Essen oder Sightseeing an Land können Sie diese Funktion mit dem PredictWind Professional-Abonnement für 15 USD monatlich oder 99 USD jährlich ohne abonnieren. Es ist eine kostengünstige Möglichkeit, um sicherzustellen, dass Sie beruhigt sind, während Sie weg sind. Es ist die einzige App, die Ihr Boot mit Live-Daten von Ihren Instrumenten überwacht - sie verfolgt Ihre genaue GPS-Position, Tiefe, Wind und sendet Scope-, Swing-, Drag- und AIS-Alarm - Tag und Nacht, an Bord oder an Land. Hi Chris, we offer a free version to monitor your anchor while you're on the boat. For alerts while dining or sightseeing ashore, you can access this feature with the PredictWind Professional Subscription or for $15 USD monthly, or $99 USD yearly without it. This is an affordable way to ensure peace of mind while you're away. It is the only app that watches your boat using live data from your instruments - tracking your precise GPS position, depth, wind, and sending scope, swing, drag, and AIS alerts - day and night, onboard or ashore.

Simple Mode is the winner

The thing I like most is being able to drag the anchor into position and set a safe radius in about ten seconds. No fiddling with numbers when you’ve just dropped the hook and want to get on with dinner. If you want more precision later, Advanced mode is right there - but for most nights at anchor, Simple does the job and the alerts do the worrying for you.

Awesome functionality

So great to see what the team have updated in Anchor Alert. Very important tool for boaters and quite useful to integrate the DataHub and get N2K movement data updates sent while off the boat!

Easy to use & peace of mind

Super easy to set up and the fact we can get alerts when away from the boat has been a game changer. Also helpful that the alerts can be customized. Definitely feel more at ease when ashore!

Simple security

My new go to app for anchoring. Simple to setup and easy to use, the alerts work even when my phone is out on silent . I haven’t seen others do that

Sleep easy

With the Anchor Alert App & Datahub combined I rest easy and fully trust that if the anchor moves I’ll know about it. A reliable anchor is one thing but combined with the Anchor Alert my trust is next level which makes me sleep easy at night. No more anchor drag nightmares.

Peace of mind

We often row ashore when out in the yacht and I’m sometimes left wondering whether the tide will go out too much (leaving us high and dry) or the anchor will drag. With Anchor Alert, my worries melt away because even if my phone is on silent, the alarm will sound.
