The Best Captain
I’ve tried my fair share of marine navigation and anchor alarm apps over the years, but AnchorQueen is honestly in a league of its own. What started as an incredibly reliable, no-nonsense anchor watch has quietly grown into a complete, intelligent co-captain for my boat.
Ruined a good app
This used to be a very good and easy to use anchor alarm app. I had used it for years. Now it’s trying to be an everything marine app and it’s just way too complicated. So very disappointing.

We have completely redesigned Captain's experience with new release. Now it has many new experiences.
What happened to the old app?
I’ve been using the app for years and loved it. Simple and straight forward and reliable. When I used the app at the end of last season it was great! Went to use it for the first time this year and what happened to it? It Is not even close to the same. In fact I closed it out and looked through my apps to see if had opened a different anchor app. It is now so complicated and does not show your track in your anchor circle so you know where you have been swinging. It no longer has augmented reality which is a feature I loved. It’s not easy to set your anchor radius distance. There is too much “stuff” on the screen and too many different screens now. I could go on and on. Needless to say I am now looking for a new anchor app. Too bad they had to go and ruin it. I hate it!

You’ve ruined a great app!
What have you done? No more satellite images, lots of complexity nobody needs. You had a great app I have used for years. I want to go back to the old one!

After the port from SafeAnchor to AnchorQueen for best Captain's Chart experience with Weather Data. We hope you really like our new Charts experience.
Apple Maps Sucks
New update ruined the app! I have been using the app for years. I used it to set anchor location with Bing Satellite map. Now Apple maps shows me nothing! Time to find a new Anchor App!
Response from developer
Sorry the update took away the view you anchored with for years — that was the one map change we most worried about. A satellite base map is back among the chart layer options (layers button → base maps), alongside the new nautical charts. If it still doesn't show what you need, email support@anchorqueen.com and we'll make it right.
