Anchor watch is a position logger, email/IM alarm, and sound alarm application that continuously monitors the current location of your device. It promptly alerts you if the device drifts too far away from the set anchor, triggering an alarm and optionally sending an instant message or an email (Pro version).

It's important to note that the performance and accuracy of the Anchor watch application are dependent on the hardware and software of the device being used. In case of poor reception, it is recommended to relocate the device to an area with better satellite reception.

Given that this application utilizes GPS for monitoring movement, it may lead to slightly faster battery consumption than usual. While using the app, it is advised to have your device charging, although not mandatory. The impact on battery life varies significantly depending on the specific device. Moreover, there is an advanced option available to set GPS update intervals, which could greatly enhance battery life.

Application Features:
  • Shows GPS location and accuracy
  • Monitors current distance to anchor
  • Alerts you if you drift too far from the anchor
  • Alerts you if GPS signal is lost
  • Allows selection of a sound alarm
  • Enables setting exclusion zones
  • Utilizes the device's compass to set the anchor even when not directly above it

Please consider exploring our Anchor watch PRO version for additional features.

Permissions:
  • Fine GPS location: To monitor your location
  • Full internet access: For map view
  • Network state: For Google AdMob

This versatile application can be utilized on boats, sailboats, motorboats, and any other objects that move freely.

In Case of Bugs:

If you encounter any bugs, please inform us so that we can address them promptly. We welcome any suggestions for improving the app and appreciate your feedback.

If GPS functionality issues arise, consider that they could be related to hardware limitations on certain devices. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control or that of any other application.

Prior to posting negative feedback, we kindly request that you reach out to us first at [email protected], allowing us the opportunity to assist with resolving any concerns.

Certain device types may experience challenges with specific functions of the application, such as an inadequate GPS provider. As these issues are device-specific, we cannot guarantee universal compatibility.

WARNING:

It's crucial to understand that the application is provided "AS-IS" and should not be solely relied upon. We disclaim responsibility for any problems, expenses, or potentially life-threatening situations that may result from its use.

FAQ
  • If the application frequently loses GPS signal when the screen is off, try disabling battery optimizations on your phone. Alternatively, consider enabling the setting within the application to keep the screen on. We are actively exploring alternative solutions.
