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

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!

Great App

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do- I highly recommend this app for any boaty 👌

Does what it promises

Using this we now sleep better at night knowing we will be woken by the alarm if necessary.

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!

Excellent app

We highly recommend PWs Anchor alert. It’s user-friendly and gives peace of mind. It accurately tracks movement and eliminates stressful false alarms, making it easy to get a good night's sleep

Great App

Great app, especially the Datahub NMEA connection and boat data that you can see. Very cool and great peace of mind when off the boat.

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.

Bon app

Très content de cette application. Elle me permet d'etre en tout confiance au mouillage.

A big contribution to a good nights sleep

I find this to be an impressive anchor alarm both standalone and particularly when working alongside the excellent Predict Wind Datahub. It has a simple and intuitive graphical interface based on a satellite view of your location. There are two modes - Simple and Datahub.

In “Datahub” mode, you start the anchor watch when your boat is pointing at the deployed anchor. The app then uses your depth, wind data, rode and the (pre-set) position of your GPS antenna deployed to calculate where your anchor is placed. From then on it monitors your position and generates a loud alarm if the boat moves outside the safe zone. You can enter any parameters not known to your Datahub and can enter everything if you don’t have one. If the hub has an internet connection, you can also monitor it from anywhere in the world – including the local taverna! Accuracy is improved by presetting boat parameters such as bow height, draft and GPS distance from the bow and offset to port or starboard.

In “Simple” mode, a single click sets the anchor 30m in front of your phone. If you “Set Anchor Position” from the bow when you drop the anchor and before pulling back, you can instantly drag the anchor symbol to the current boat position. Otherwise you can wait till the boat has settled then estimate the position from the rode deployed, depth and distance of phone from the bow and then drag the anchor symbol accordingly.

Once the anchor position is set, you set up the safe zone. A simple drag sets up the safe circle. A loud alarm will sound if the boat goes beyond this. If an obstacle is within this circle, you can exclude it by setting up a safe angle.

If your boat moves outside the safe zone a loud alarm will be sounded on your phone. In case you are concerned that a wind or current shift will take you into range of an obstacle, you can easily set an angular exclusion zone. The app even works out if the anchor scope is safe for the weather conditions.

I thoroughly recommend this as a significant contribution to boat safety and to a good nights sleep.
