A Life Saver

By linking to iOS devices together my iPhone, and my iPad, I can leave my iPad on the boat and it sends me email messages if I’m outside the designated area. I sleep way better at night when I set my Anchor Pro hasn’t failed me yet.

Hard to figure out

After two years of occasionally using this app, I Still haven’t figured out what the large and small circle is all about and the degrees on the large circle. Directions are not well worded to assist with this. I just make both circles 200’ and the large circle 359degrees and eliminate the odd shape. I usually forget ed t to set at anchor drop so I put in degrees to anchor and distance my chain is out, otherwise the alarm goes off constantly.

Sailboat

Does not work well for a sailboat anchored with 140’ of anchor rode as it swings around the anchor

It just works

Been using Anchor Pro for 4.5 years as full time live a-boards. It is a must have app for peace of mind. Thank you

Sleep

Anchor pro offers peace of mind.

Fantastic App
Well done

Chicka wow wow

Stops updating when phone put down

New major bug. If I put my phone down on a table, the app stops updating the Current Position & crucially the Anchor distance. 100% repeatable. Now can’t rely on an alert at night with phone beside the bunk or on charge.

Three year user

Love the app. Gives me security when anchored over night. Works flawlessly!

Great. Best one out there.

Needs a way to overide phones silent mode.

Reliable

Use it to anchor on personal and work boats

Works but cost just doubled

I have had the App for about 5 years. Use it and another together for redundancy. There were no updates since 2022 but I kept my subscription as $4.99 wasn’t much. Today I got an email saying cost is increasing to $9.99 … looked at the version history and they did 2 small updates in 4 years. I cancelled and looking at other options.

History used to be on pro. Now subscription

I bought the pro version of this app for features such as anchor history (a track of your swings around your current anchor point). This was included in the pro version, but they have since taken it behind a subscription. Hate it when apps take away something you previously paid for.

Ripoff

Despite being a subscription based app, upgrade pricing is charged for what used to be included. It appears data is being sold to google for additional $$….

Food anchor app

Reasonable pricing model, really nice options to control angles and distances in case of swell. Remember to keep your volume up

stopped working

This was originally a 5 star review. The audio alarm has stopped working… it is now hit and miss for an unknown reason. I checked with the developer but no response. App is unreliable and dangerous. Would not rely on this whatsoever.

Couldn’t be better

Very robust tool with everything you need to feel secure in all conditions. Helps us sleep at night knowing that we had anchor pro looking out for us.

Lifesaver

This app could save your life

Must have

This app is exceptional, easy to use and dependable. It is my only anchoring app.

Great app but big price increase!

Been using this app flawlessly for 3 years, however just received notification that the app price has more than doubled 🥲
