Part of the reason I like Anchor! is that it has a well designed user interface that makes it simple to deal with when you’re waking up from a deep sleep. Configuring email requires your iPad to have an email client setup already, and can be a bit more finicky. Configuring alerts is easy - the audible and screen alerts are pretty much available by default, and are a great way to know if something is wrong. The color of the line changes over time so you can see trends and changes based on wind and tide. Before the advent of systems covered below, I relied on Anchor! and the remote text/email feature when I left the boat for any time at anchor.Īnchor! is very easy to use and has an excellent graphical representation of your movement around your anchor. The latter three features are premium and require either a subscription or a one time payment depending on your platform. These include a bright visual screen indication (ideal for a dark berth at night to wake you up), loud audible alarms, text messaging, email, and remote monitoring. It has been around a while, is very reliable and easy to use, and has great alarms. My favorite app is Anchor! avail able for both Apple and Android devices.
Smartphone and tablet apps for anchor monitoring are very popular and have developed in recent years to be a reliable system if used appropriately.
