Please note: GPS accuracy and performance depends on your phone's hardware. Please read the help page fully and make sure you understand how to tell if this application is running in the background and how to completely stop it.
IMPORTANT: SOME ANDROID 4 DEVICES USING VERSIONS PRIOR TO 4.0.4 ARE KNOWN TO BE OVERLY AGGRESSIVE WHEN SHUTTING DOWN BACKGROUND TASKS, THIS BREAKS Anchor Alert's BACKGROUND FUNCTION AND CAUSES IT TO BE SHUT DOWN AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS WITHOUT WARNING. IF YOU OWN ONE OF THESE AFFECTED DEVICES PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CARRIER ABOUT AN UPGRADE TO 4.0.4 OR LATER, IN THE MEANTIME YOU SHOULD ONLY USE FOREGROUND MODE. ANDROID VERSIONS 2.x AND 3.x ARE NOT AFFECTED.
Finally, please email me and let me know how I can make this app better for you before leaving feedback. My goal is a 5 star rating from everyone that buys this app, please help me achieve this!

[2011-12-30] Preserved: Very Good I held off buying this because of the price for months. When we launched the boat in the spring, I realized that while expensive for an app, this was a negligible boat expense, especially for the peace of mind. I used it 15 to 20 times over the 2011 season and once I had it figured out found it very useful. When I first installed it, it would not function correctly. I emailed the developer, and he responded a couple of days later with an update that fixed my specific issue. When I first started using it, I'd anchor the big boat in a quiet cove and get into the dinghy to practice using Anchor Alert and to see how it reacted. I'd row up to a lobster bouy and set my imaginary anchor, set Anchor Alert then drift away while I could watch the screen to see when an alarm was triggered. I also tested the exclusion zones & drift. I trust the software, and while at anchor I like to use this as another tool to check my night observations. |

[2011-07-31] Euan: Excellent Bought this a couple of days before my annual sailing trip thinking it would be "a bit of fun", but on the first night when it took 5 attempts to set the anchor and with winds stronger than expected it worked brilliantly and provide a great deal of reassurance. The instructions, though extensive, are not very clear, but once you get the hang of it you can effectively set a segment of your swinging arc as a zone and see your track within it. Highly recommended. |
