Comments on Anchor Alarm - SailGrib AA for Android
★★★★☆Shayne Young· Jul 20, 2021
Good simple anchor alarm. Some great features like the integrating avionics maps. Being able to only set a circle for anchor area is a bit of a pain for stern to anchor setups
★★★★★Ken Roller· Apr 5, 2018
Most stable anchoring app I've found. Extremely sensitive and works great. I love how you don't have to worry about punching your phone while trying to set the anchor. You can actually leave your phone below and set it up AFTER the hook is set. Awesome concept and great design. Thanks!!! 😁 I only wish there was a way to overlay the anchor swing plot on a chart...

Accurate and responsive, rarely drops out. SMS to my wife's phone if boat creaps out of the zone or lost GPS, very handy when not on board.

My review was initially 3 stars because the app doesn't interface with gps info sent via Wi-Fi from my AIS (like avionics 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.

I downloaded this to use with offline maps, which is important in my area. Turns out you need to download another app (Sailgrib WR) and pay for offline maps. Then it's a struggle to get the AA app to find the map files downloaded with the WR app. Also, there are no satellite imagery maps available offline. The app also makes an annoying beep every 5 seconds when the GPS gets a reading. I finally figured out how to get rid of that in phone settings, but you have to be careful not to disable all sounds because then the main function of the app, an alarm, won't even sound. The alarm sound also isn't very piercing. It's kind of a low volume, and I'm afraid it won't wake me up. Also, the app says you have to leave the screen on for it to work. That will be annoying sleeping with a screen on and will drain battery even faster, hopefully not faster than it can charge. Too many variables to go wrong for me to trust this app, so I use another app for the alarm and just keep this running in the background because I can use it for the offline NOAA map.

App kinda works if you are on board. SMS functionality is poor. You receive a cryptic message in poor English without proper GPS coordinates. Tried sending them e-mails from within the app and also from the computer (using the address they provide, also on their website), but only received Undeliverable messages back. Better go with something more professional.
