I had two simple requirements for an anchor alarm app: 1. The swing circle should not be just a circle, but should take into account my individual free space, which can be different in each direction. 2. I want to be really woken up by an alarm when the anchor is dragging. (I would never wake up from the quiet, one-time alarm tone of my Garmin GPS handheld device) And that's exactly what I already implemented in the first successful version of this app. More and more features were added over time. Now I have completely overhauled everything in Version 2, and I am convinced that your anchor watch will run differently with this anchor alarm app in the future. You will surely know the problem when you want to set an anchor alarm after anchoring, you don't want the same warning distance in every direction. Because the wind, for example, is coming from the west, but it will turn to the east at night, and maybe there is a shallow water area that you want to be warned about early on. For example, you have enough space to the south or north. I have addressed and solved this problem with this app. Here's an overview of all the important features: - Individual shapes as swing circles instead of just round circles - An alarm tone that you won't miss (after the first opening of the app, a less obtrusive tone is configured so that you don't get too startled during your first tests) - Your ship's dimensions are shown to scale on the map - The track during swinging is drawn on the map, so you can see at a glance when the situation changes - You can also optionally mark the anchor on the map - False alarms caused by individual bad GPS signals can be filtered out - A loud alarm tone also comes on when the device volume is low or off - There is an alternative monitoring option with which an alarm is triggered if your ship (or your iPhone) turns a predetermined number of degrees. This way, you can monitor whether one of two anchors (stern and bow anchor) is no longer holding and the ship is turning. - All alarms also run in the background and when the iPhone is locked. - In addition, you can use one of the two devices to remotely monitor the other. So you can go to the restaurant with the dinghy and still see the view from the device on the boat live. An alarm is also triggered on both devices. When you're on the water with your boat, you need to make sure the anchor is properly secured and doesn't slip. Therefore, the anchor watch is an important instrument to monitor the position of the anchor and ensure that the boat stays in place. The anchor alarm app is a useful tool that helps you protect yourself from unexpected anchor movements. My app for anchor watch monitors the position of the ship and sends out a noticeable acoustic signal when your boat changes its position to an unauthorized area. This dragging of the anchor can happen in different ways, for example, due to wind or currents. When the alarm is triggered, you can act quickly and reposition the anchor to ensure that the boat stays in place. The anchor alarm is an acoustic signal that is triggered when the boat moves outside the preset area. This can help you quickly react to unexpected anchor movements and avoid damage to the yacht. The anchor alarm is particularly useful when you anchor in an unfamiliar environment or when the weather changes. In summary, the anchor watch and my anchor alarm app are important instruments to ensure the safety of your yacht. With this app, you can ensure that your anchor is properly secured and that the ship doesn't move from its position. If you're on the water and like to anchor, you should definitely use my anchor alarm app to protect yourself from unexpected movements and make your night comfortable and safe.}

Poche funzioni, impossibile spostare la posizione dell’ancora manualmente. Utilizzavo altra app per anni che purtroppo non esiste più e questa per me è inutilizzabile

Ich benutze die App nun seit 2 Jahren und kann nur großes Lob aussprechen. Die Warnungen sind verlässlich, die Bedienung ist intuitiv und verständlich und die Möglichkeit ein Mobiltelefon zur Überwachung an Bord zu lassen und den Schwoj auf einem zweiten Mobiltelefon gespiegelt zu verfolgen während man an Land geht für Besichtigung, Einkauf oder Restaurantbesuch ist einfach genial. Vielen Dank … große Empfehlung

Ich hab die App schon länger, finde die Freihandzeichnung extrem wichtig. Manchmal ist das schwojen in eine bestimmte Richtung alarmbedürftig und in eine andere nicht. Mit der genial einfachen Verknüpfung der beiden Telefone hat man das über das Mobilfunknetz auf dem anderen Telefon. Man sieht die Schiffsbewegungen und einen Auszug aus Google Maps. Für mich absolut top und perfekt gestaltet.

Die App funktioniert einwandfrei und ohne Fehlalarme. Auch das Verbinden mit einem zweiten Gerät klappt prima und zuverlässig. Aber der Stromverbrauch ist extrem. Das Handy muss ständig geladen werden. Nachts ist es zwingend am Ladegerät anzuschließen. Dies müsste noch verbessert werden. Dann ist die App mit das Beste auf dem Markt und es gibt fünf Sterne.

Finally, an anchor app that does remote monitoring well. All apps can set off and alarm on the main phone but I’ve tried them all with remote monitoring so we can leave a phone on the boat and then go ashore with another one and receive an alarm on that. This app is the best by far - super easy to setup and provides a view as if on the boat or other phone. Loud alarm (unlike some other apps) works really well too. The perfect anchor alarm app. Shame I wasted so much on trying other apps but worth it in the end.

Ich nutzte diese App seit langem, und sie war echt super! Zuverlässig, einfach, benutzerfreundlich. Seit dem grossen Update ist sie nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Wirklich bedauerlich, weil richtig gefährlich! Funktioniert nicht mehr zuverlässig, schaltet sich selbstständig aus. Lässt sich nicht mehr richtig konfigurieren, etc. Schade, dass ich dafür bezahlt habe!

Mit der Möglichkeit die Lautstärke des Alarmtons anzupassen und den Schwojkreis mittels Zirkel Funktion zu zeichnen ist die App nun ziemlich perfekt. Ich nutze sie nahezu täglich. Vielen Dank für die ständige Weiterentwicklung!!

Veldig praktisk at du kan tegne inn området som båten skal holde seg innenfor. Dermed kan den svaie fritt uten at alarmen går, men med en gang den begynner å dragge går alarmen. Enkel og nyttig app.

Verbesserungen für die Funktion der Fernüberwachung mit einem zweiten Gerät (Spiegelung). Es ist jetzt möglich alternativ zum scannen des QR Codes auch einen Link zu versenden. Dies ermöglichkt auch die Verbindung herzustellen ohne Zugriff auf das Gerät zu haben welches auf dem Schiff gelassen wurde. Außerdem kommt eine Fehlermeldung beim einrichten der Spiegelung wenn keine Internetverbindung besteht. Es wurden auch noch ein paar Übersetzungen und Tippfehler korrigiert.
