Anchor Pro8.5 - Google Play

Anchor Pro is a position logger, Email/IM alarm and sound alarm and it monitors the device's current location and informs you if the location of the device changes too far away from the set anchor. In that case, it will sound an alarm and optionally send an Instant message or an email. (Premium subscription)

Please know that the performance and accuracy of the Anchor watch application depend on the hardware and software of the used device. If you have bad reception, please move the device to a location that has better satellite reception!

Because this application uses GPS to monitor movement, it will consume battery a bit faster than normal. We suggest you charge your device while using the app, although it's not necessary and the impact on battery life strongly depends on the specific device!

In case of bugs:
All applications can have bugs, so if you find one, please inform us so we can solve the issue. You can also contact us if you have a suggestion for improving the app. We will gladly listen to your suggestions!

If GPS doesn't work, please bear in mind that it might be a hardware issue, as some devices have trouble getting a good GPS fix! We cannot do anything about that, nor can any other app.

If you want to post negative comments, PLEASE CONTACT US FIRST on support+anchor@ideaboys.net as we would like to resolve the issue.

Some device types have problems with some parts of the application, such as not providing proper GPS provider. Since those are per-device issues, we cannot guarantee to support each one.

WARNING:
Please keep in mind that the application is provided "AS-IS". It should not be relied on to and we shall not be responsible for any problem/expense/life threatening situation it could cause.

FAQ
  ♦  If the Anchor Pro keeps loosing GPS signal when screen is turned off, try disabling battery optimizations of the specific phone. If that doesn't help, try enabling the option in application settings to keep screen on. We are researching alternative solutions.
