This app has been outstanding. I sleep with confidence knowing it works flawlessly.

★★★★★ Capt. Christopher Foster · May 25, 2026

I live on my boat! I love the anchor alarm app I wish you had a different alarm to wake me up but other than that it's the best!

★★★★☆ John Baldwin · Sep 29, 2023

Seems to work well, would be nice to have a trace of movement for the active anchor set

★★★★★ Damon Rust · Apr 18, 2026

Works great and so simple to use. Saved me many times on the water

★☆☆☆☆ Christian Erd · Apr 7, 2024

The app does not read GPS data It switches off when focus is on another app, i.e. it does not run in background. Unusable.

★☆☆☆☆ Mark Coleman · Nov 21, 2025

Have used Anchor Pro for a few years, and found it good, recently it started playing up, freezing position and not updating. I uninstalled the app and reloaded the latest version which is not Anchor Pro now for Android, is called Anchor Watch Alarm, paid for Premium. App is basically the same, still not updating position and no history recording. Have tried all contact methods with no response at all. No support at all. Have downloaded and rebooted to no avail. Using Anchor Sentry now, is ok
