United StatesThe ACR OLAS App turns your smartphone or tablet into a Man Overboard Alarm system that aids fast recovery to rescue your crew, kids, pets who have gone overboard. When the Free app is paired with either the ACR OLAS TAG or the ACR OLAS FLOAT-ON beacons, the OLAS mobile application technology detects a break in its ‘virtual tether’ to the ACR OLAS Tag and/or Float-On within 8 seconds of a transmitter going missing. The mobile phone(s) then sounds an alarm and records the latitude and longitude of the incident using the phone or tablets GPS. ACR OLAS then aids the crew with the MOB recovery by clearly directing them to the GPS location where the MOB occurred with clear visual signals and bearing data. ACR OLAS stores all location data and time of incident required by the rescue services. Other ACR OLAS APP Features: • Protect everyone onboard your boat including Crew, Family, Kids, and Pets • ACR OLAS App creates a virtual tether to the Tag or Float-On creating a wireless MOB System • No cell service required (except for Solo mode) • Connect multiple OLAS transmitters to 1 phone or tablet • Connect 1 OLAS transmitter to multiple phones / tablets • Solo Mode (Text Message Alerts to Emergency Contacts with GPS coordinates) • App Navigation: Back to point of loss • Automatic VHF script for MOB alert
ARC OLAS Guardian JUNK
What a waste of Time and Money, first the wire diagram does not match Mercury as I have two purple wires at the cut off switch. The app picture shows that you should see a float-on if the tag is set for “Cut-Off and Alert” I can only get a picture of the wrest tag. The engine will not shut off and I have tried exchanging the wires. Other options appear on the app such smart key, disable cut-off, enable smart lock and others with no explanation of how to use these or what they do in any of the directions. I have called and spoke with I believe Filex he was nice enough but had no idea what I was talking about said he would have his supervisor Chris get in touch with me but never did . I have now sent an email but I don’t expect much. Save your money and time look elsewhere! This is supposed to be a safety item and I believe is Junk!
United StatesWorks perfectly, love it
Installed the Guardian in the boat, and it works great with the wearable OLAS tag. Great option for being out by myself and having some mobility on the boat rather than being clipped to kill switch tether. Time to buy more tags for the rest of the family :-)
United Statesgarbage - do not waste your time
Garbage app. Cannot get it to stay connected or update any settings on my Olas Guardian no matter what. Thankfully, the guardian still works on it's own, but there's no way to update / change settings / anything since the application is literally hot garbage. Do not waste your time with this until it's updated by a software engineer / developer team that actually understands what is needed and how to implement it.
United StatesDoes not track and does not work if you just fall overboard
The box is misleading, this will not track the unit that fell in. It only tracks the location of the phone when it separated from the unit. This unit could be so much more. The wrist band needs to sense water and activate instantly if detected even if the person is waving their arms above water. In rough seas, 8 seconds plus a hundred feet is too far to find someone. Also, there should be a 2 second mode. If your in the marina and a child or pet falls or slips overboard the unit should instantly activate not after 8 seconds.. But I'm giving it 3 stars because it's better than nothing and is a good idea. If you get a water sensing technology one, I'll buy it.
United StatesYou don’t want to rely on this in a life or death situation
I usually don’t write reviews, but I feel on a safety product like this one I have an obligation to warn others: Tracking is inaccurate and intermittent. Specifically, loses / cannot establish connection to OLAS GPS transmitter in MOB mode, which is obviously the whole point of this device. Frankly, it undermines my trust in the ACR brand and makes me wonder how well my other ACR products work in an emergency. On the plus side, it looks cool, so if your primary use is bolstering your offshore credentials in a nightclub, highly recommended ...
United StatesDangerous junk!
I have 4-5 ACR products and almost all of them have failed in a year or less. The stuff they churn out is very cheap Chinese junk. My OLAS light almost never shows tracking on my phone and when it is not blinking on and off it points exactly opposite to where there light is. If you buy this and a man goes overboard with this device and app... might as well write them off as DEAD!
United StatesNo help for this app
I recently received my tag and downloaded the app. I tried the tag and it works but there is no way In the app to change the setting to solo or put in automatic call number without using the vessel information page which you can’t use if you don’t have an MMSI number. And if you click the app help link it just takes you to the ACR page which doesn’t give any direction on how to use the app So this is basically useless to me Update 8-13-2020 Playing around with the app on my iPad instead of the iPhone, I found that when you hit the menu selection button in the left upper corner, a drop down box appears in gray and you can select items such as solo mode and vessel. However, on the iPhone , there is a glitch and this area is blacked out and you can’t see the wording which is in black. If you hit different spots you can get lucky and hit the menu option you were searching for. This is only on the phone, the iPad works fine. On a side note, I emailed the company and no one responded. I love ACR products and have several but the app and response isn’t great
