Features & Capabilities

Anchor Alarm / Watch is the anchor guard for your boat. Set a geofence radius, start monitoring, and receive an unmistakable alarm as your vessel leaves the area. You can adjust the monitored radius to the nearest meter and view your boat's location history on the map.

With remote monitoring, link two devices—sender on the boat and your display on land. The app also includes an anchorage search to find nearby anchorages (free for 3 days) and a three-step yacht charter request to connect with agencies. Terms of Use and FAQ are available for help.

User Reviews

Users praise the app’s simplicity and visual alerts, with real-world notes of it helping prevent anchor mishaps. However, multiple reviews cite reliability and safety issues: frequent background crashes, lack of audible alerts without paying, false alarms due to GPS, iOS background handling problems, and concerns about the subscription price and value.

Pros

Simple, intuitive to use with easy anchor setup and adjustment.
Clear on-screen visual alerts for anchor status.
Has saved lives / helped avoid danger in real-world use.
Generally reliable during use and can run in the background for periods.

Cons

App frequently shuts down or quits in the background or after updates, reducing reliability.
Audible alarm is missing or requires the full version, limiting nighttime use.
False drift alerts / GPS inaccuracies causing false anchor moves.
Background priority issues on iOS; app does not stay active while other apps run.
High subscription price / value concerns and reported upgrade problems.

Recent reviews

The app used to function well while pairing. Lately it continues to send critical alerts it hasn’t been notified in 7 mins. I’ve dug everywhere to see why always isn’t available, but the app seems to be using a non standard way to send certificates alerts. After killing the app on the receiving device, I continue to get critical notifications while at dinner or sleeping. I paid for the lifetime membership, so very disappointed

This app worked perfectly for me for over a year until I decided to upgrade to the paid subscription. Once I did that every couple hours it will shut down and loose the anchor and will no longer be set or working and it always does this it wasn’t just a one time thing. Funny as this was the most expensive subscription out of all the anchor alarms
