DOES NOT WORK unless your screen is lit.

Absolutely no use as an anchor alarm.

Will they pay for the damage to my boat when it drags anchor? I doubt it.

Could you sleep well knowing your anchor alarm is useless?

Does not work unless app is visible.

We tried the app while the boat was moving and all seemed okay. We set the anchor, set our position with the app, and went to sleep. The anchor was lifted by heavy overnight winds, and we drifted about 25 yards. The app only alarmed when I logged back into my phone to see if I'd set something incorrectly. Not helpful at all.

Probably the worst and most dangerous gps app I have ever seen

Bought this as Drag Queen not comparinle with IOS 11. Decided to test before sailing in my back garden (thankfully). Sat in a deck chair, this app had me wandering around the neighbourhood, plus or minus 40-50 m, during ten minutes of sitting sipping a beer. Terrible, terrible, terrible. If I had been skeeping on anchor, the alarm would have woken me, I would have shat myself, and all for no reason.
Will delete once this is uploaded. Disgraceful and dangerous.

Add Apple Watch support

Pleases add I watch function to your app

Didn't work well for me

Each time I woke the phone up to check the app it thought I'd move 150 meters and sounded the alarm. I was attached to a mooring buoy and hadn't moved anywhere.
