THE NAKED TRUTH

I have been using this application for more than two years and it is simply the best!

No support or updates

Great app but support is non existent and they haven’t updated it in 2 years! Crazy to pay for an app that doesn’t push updates or have support. Remote function stopped working probably because they haven’t kept it updated with new OS updates.

Best out there.

Simple, straightforward, reliable. Very easy to re-learn after not using for awhile. The alarm is VERY ALARMING, which is a good thing. You will NOT sleep through it. I highly recommend this app. I’ve use it in anchorages from San Francisco Bay to Puerto Vallarta and beyond.

Standard anchor monitor with remote capability

2 stars because I need to go into town and I’m trying to set up the system. iPad is the Sender to the iPhone. It worked a week ago and today I’m resetting tracks and such. I send the invite to my phone but it keeps pulling up old location and data. Stand-alone is fine but when I go to remote, it’s not. I’ve uninstalled it to redo on my phone hoping to reset data but in trying to find this app, I found others. So I’m gonna give them a try first. The frustration for the clunky interface and wonky use is not worth it. Stand-alone is OK. There are better apps for standalone. Probably remote, too.
