User reviews

A very useful tool.

Both while anchoring and while being on anchor. Recently I even dove down and confirmed my anchor was well set in good sand. But that wasn’t enough for all 35-40kt gusty leeside winds that caused the bow of the boat to flip flop back and forth.

Broken in IOS 27

I wrote email to the developer weeks ago with no response. The app worked really before I updated to IOS 27. the problem constant false alarms with the boat moving outside the distance circle. It would be great to get this issue fixed. I hope the developer is monitoring these reviews.

Simply brilliant!

It’s the best piece of kit for peace of mind. I can sleep at night knowing the anchor alarm will wake me up if there’s a problem. I particularly like the ability to reset the anchor in the same position if I accidentally cancel the alarm- like every time I go ashore with my phone in my pocket. Thanks!
