5/5Very Good Experience
We recently did a 10 day charter in the Caribbean and bought this app after looking at all of the anchor alarm options. Overall, I was very pleased. The app never had a problem, and tracked any movement seach night whether anchored or moored. I was especially pleased with being able to share an anchor session. That way, I could leave my phone on the boat, share the session with my wife, and go ashore with her phone and without worrying about the boat. That function worked flawlessly. The only challenge I had was getting the anchor “dropped” in the right place to start a session. I would have to adjust the location manually after we got the boat settled. Could have been an inexperienced user and not a huge deal, but that was my only challenge. Overall, a great product, that the developer continues to update routinely.

5/5Best App for Remote Viewing
Finding an anchor app that allowed remote viewing without draining my phone's battery was impossible before this app. The ability to view it remotely exactly like it is shown locally is key, and the device that's monitoring doesn't have to constantly run the app and drain my battery. Also, I really love the color gradient on the tracks which shows you the history of where you're track has been.

5/5Best Anchoring App!
We’ve been out sailing the world since 2017 and have tried all sorts of anchoring apps. This is hands-down the best app out there. The premium edition is absolutely worth the $20 per year. The ability to have remote alerts when we’re off the boat is what sold us on it, but since getting it we’ve found so many amazing features. Off you value your boat (and your sleep) you’ll love this app!

5/5Revised review on Hooked Premium
I gave a poor earlier review on Hooked Premium because of a bug that caused it to read an incorrect longitude value from our PredictWind Data Hub, and this caused the app to crash. I finally figured out how to contact the developer and filed a bug report, and they had a fixed version ready within 12 hours. It now seems to work perfectly and I’m now happy with the product!

5/5I’m Hooked 😄
I tried so many anchor apps and none of them had the combo I was looking for: a clean user interface and the ability to see the same thing locally and remotely (especially without draining my phone battery while onshore). I think that even the free version is more useful than many of the paid anchoring apps. Overall, super impressed! 👏
