"Anchor Watch" uses the GPS on your smartphone to monitor your boats position. If the boat moves outside its limits, the program will alert you immediately. Not only on your device but on any device using your iCloud id.
No more sleepless nights, worrying whether your boat is dragging or not. Sleep sound knowing that a quick glance will assure you that all is ok. When you are onshore for dinner or a drink, you will receive an alert the moment your boat leaves the designated area. You can even track it in real-time.
The third generation of Anchor Watch has been rebuild from the ground up to provide the best user experience. It features sea maps navigation and nautical maps. It conserves bandwidth and still uses sophisticated GPS filtering, which avoids false alerts. You can also run it twice as long on the same battery.

Latest reviews of Anchor Watch app for iPhone and iPad
Good idea, looks great but unless you want to be up several times in the night with false alarms dont bother. Paid extra for the offline maps to find theyre coverage is limited. Useless in the Caribbean.
Very useful tool. Easy to use.
Thanks Anchor Watch.
This thing appears to work when you set it up but when I move the boat the alarm never happens. Either its useless or the interface is deceiving.
Several attempts, 2 hours time, product never acquired GPS location on iPhone. Purchased supplemental overlay maps as prompted by the app however they also did not work. Unfortunate because otherwise the app appears to have a good user interface design.
