My review was initially 3 stars because the app doesn't interface with gps info sent via wifi from my AIS (like navionics does). But after the way the developer replied to my review while ignoring the email I sent, I can only give it what it deserves... I found an app called Sail Expert, it interfaces with my external GPS and has a brilliant anchor alarm function, as well as all other NMEA instrument data like depth and wind, sent wirelessly.

Great app. Wouldn't do without it anymore. It doesn't replace good anchoring practices but it makes keeping an eye on things a lot easier when you don't want to get out of bed in the middle of the night.

Great UI, can't prevent lock screen from disabling it. While the map can be dragged to center it on the anchor, the distance/bearing display from boat to anchor it hard to read and only appears when zoomed way in (fill most of screen with boat-to-anchor line). Great integration with Navionics. Bugaboo with all anchor alarms in Android is their inability to defeat the lock screen when monitoring so the alarm quits monitoring as soon as the lock screen turns on.

Great features in this app. Unfortunately it keeps disconnecting from gps for long periods of time. Iv tried it with both my Bluetooth GPS puck on mock location mode and using the built in gps in my v30. Still no luck. I'd buy the premium service if it actually worked.

Initially rated a 1 star due to SMS not working for US phone numbers. The developer quickly responded and stated working the problem. The problem has been corrected, unfortunately my bare boat charter is over. I'll use it next year on my boat.

Well worth the subscription price. I really appreciate being able to move the anchor point after setting and finishing the anchoring process. We haven't had any problems with this app.
