A great intuitive anchor watch app, which allows exact positioning of anchor after the drop by defining chain length and direction

Good idea for app but made bad and complicated, GPS is loosing fix all time in open air. Also from some reason it stops working during the night, so all together dangerous and useless app. I will not use it anymore it's way to risky.
