User reviews

Straight to the point!

Very simple and accurate, easy to use. I like the simplicity of the design, does one thing and does it well. The stations readings are a very useful addition.

Doesn’t work on iPhone

The app closes it self when the lock screen comes on. Donor trust it. Will need another app to help watch the anchor.

Непригодна к использованию

Туфта, а не программа. Все красиво, но не запоминает координаты якоря. А если телефон повис/перезагрузился? Убрал в фон программу и она автоматически закрылась? Все, координаты якоря потерны, где лодка и насколько ее отнесло непонятно.
Автору надо доделать, чтобы при закрытии программы координаты были в памяти, тогда будет хорошо.
