Kept us hooked (and anchored) 🎣

Been running Hooked on the hook all season and it just works: set your alarm radius, drop your anchor, and it quietly keeps watch while you actually enjoy being out there. No fussy setup, no false alarms dragging me out of a dead sleep at 2am, no battery-melting nonsense running in the background. It does exactly the one job it exists to do, and it does it flawlessly.

Only “bug” I’ve found is entirely my own fault: I keep forgetting to start the dang thing until we’re already anchored and settled in with a drink (which is on me, not Hooked 🤣). If I had one wish it’d be a little nudge or a “hey, you’ve stopped moving, want to start an alarm?” prompt so people like me get saved from themselves.

Highly recommend to anyone who spends nights at anchor. It’s earned a permanent spot on my home screen.

Poor GPS Link

Doesn’t update the location very well. The map shows the updated position but the graph doesn’t

Response from developer

Hi Dash Thieves, Thanks for the review! If the map is updating, your GPS link is active, but it sounds like you're running into an issue with the graph data refreshing properly. We want to make sure everything is working seamlessly on your boat. Please reach out to us at hookedanchorapp@gmail.com with a few more details so we can investigate and get this resolved for you. Safe sailing, Kylee & Scott

Manque fonctionnalité

Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas repositionner l’ancre à la distance exacte du bateau et au relèvement voulu.
Avec ces fonctionnalités j’aurais mis 5 étoiles.
De plus il faut payer la version premium pour pouvoir tester les notifications à distance (contrairement à ce qui est indiqué dans le tableau de l’application)

Response from developer

Bonjour, Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes un peu surpris par votre remarque sur l'ancre, car l'application permet déjà de repositionner l'ancre ainsi que d'ajuster le rayon d'alarme de manière précise. Pourriez-vous nous contacter directement par e-mail afin de nous expliquer plus en détail ce qui vous manque ou ce qui vous bloque à ce niveau ? Concernant les notifications à distance, elles sont bien incluses dès la version Essentiel (et pas uniquement Premium), conformément à notre tableau comparatif. Si l'application vous a demandé de passer à Premium, il s'agit sans doute d'un problème d'affichage ou d'un bug d'activation que nous aimerions régler au plus vite. Écrivez-nous à hookedanchorapp@gmail.com pour que nous puissions faire le point ensemble et vous aider. Bonne navigation, Kylee et Scott

Better than Anchor Pro

I have used Anchor Pro for over three years and really like it.

However, Hooked looks and feels like Anchor Pro but does anchor repositioning much better and the remote monitoring is Awesome.

Gets better and better

I’ve been using Hooked for the last year as my ‘go to’ anchor alarm. The developers are improving reliability and adding genuinely useful features all the time, plus they’re very responsive to queries and feedback. Excellent.

Best there is

Easy to use, connects you apple devices seamlessly. Leave a iPad on the boat and see live data on your phone!
I did contact the support for an issue I had, it got resolved within minutes! Awesome team!

Bonjour! Merci de votre revue. Cette option existe déjà dans les réglages. Vous pouvez activer une alarme quand le niveau de batterie diminue à moins de 20%. Vous pouvez aussi ajuster le pourcentage si vous voulez par exemple une alarme quand le niveau atteint 10%. Bon ancrage !

Shares anchoring position!

Currently, this is the best solo anchoring app available. It allows you to share entering position with another device so you can leave your phone and get notifications. There is some room for improvement.

Excellent Free App

I have been using Hooked for a few years. It’s simple, easy, and accurate. I like their satellite view option, in clear waters you can see your track line and reference distance to rocks/reefs.

Best app purchase to-date!

I purchased the Premium subscription to Hooked before our trip to the Abacos last Spring (bareboat charter) fully expecting to end my subscription when we returned home as we primarily boat on inland lakes. A year later I am so pleased with the insight and peace of mind this app brings. We frequently anchor overnight and I rest easy knowing I’ll never miss an anchor drag alarm.

Thank you for creating and maintaining such a wonderful tool! The only improvement I’d wish for is compatibility with Android since we are a divided household when it comes to tech 😉

Meilleure application d’ancrage

Pour en avoir essayé plusieurs, c’est certainement la meilleure application de mouillage. Permet de suivre son ancrage à distance avec un deuxième appareil laissé à bord (réseau nécessaire).
Facile d’utilisation, mais avec des options très complètes. L’application peut se connecter au système électronique du bateau via le réseau nmea et remonter les informations principales.

Very useful; good functionality

Very useful app. Much better than other anchor alarms I have used; this has become my ‘go to’ anchor alarm.

Déclenchements intempestifs

Je ne comprends pas, cela fait 2 fois en 2 semaines que l’alarme ce déclenche au beau milieu de la nuit, alors que nous dormons profondément chez nous et qu’aucune ancre n’est activée😡

The best anchoring app out there

This app is a modern and responsive way to track boat movement both locally and remotely. It provides a great peace of mind when on land and a way to keep an eye on positioning when onboard! Best app I have tried out there (and I’ve tried lots)!

Best anchor alarm/monitor

By far the best app based anchor alarm I have used. Love the easy way to share the anchor session and ability to start and stop sessions. The history of distance and bearing to anchor is super cool as well.

Also like having NMEA data show at the same time!
