## What is Anchory?

Anchory is a fast and easy-to-use anchor drag alarm for iPhone and iPad. 
As a sailor you must always keep a watchful eye on the position of your anchor in case it starts to drag. Anchory will help you here and does provide you with even more, useful functions. 

To set an alarm, just point your device in the direction of the anchor and press a button. 
Based on the entered vessel length, water depth and chain length Anchory automatically calculates the alarm radius is for you. 
When your vessel drifts outside the set range, the anchor alarm will go off immediately. 

Additional Features: 

- Push Notification on all devices: When an alarm goes off, the app notifies each device with Anchory installed. So the alarm will reach you if your anchor starts to drag even when you are not on board. 

- Runs in the background, so you can continue to use your iPhone or iPad. 

- View your anchor position with Augmented Reality (AR). 

- Choose between 7 alarm sounds.

### 1/5 — So quiet

*2023-07-09*

It’s great apart from quite important feature, the alarm noises are quiet and you can’t hear them (despite the phone being on full
Volume). Deleted after five mins sadly.

### 3/5 — Easy to use - almost good.

*2020-09-10*

Doesn’t have as many options as some alarm apps eg you can’t decide the shape of the alarm zone. Does not send an alarm to an Apple Watch, SMS, email or other device. To use this while away from the boat and get notifications if you drag, you have to have two internet connected devices on the same Apple ID. 

Also I wish they would say what the in-app purchase is. It turns out you have to pay $8.50 (in Canada) to use it at all after the first 3 days. 

Some interface elements appear in German.
