DragQueen is a simple anchor alarm. It provides distance and GPS accuracy alarms along with an alarm delay. The alarm is quite annoying and is the perfect thing to waken you at night if it ...
What a sweet simple app Been waiting for one like this for some time Just cant beat the price either Using it on my iPad 2 and it looks and works great Mark Anchors away
Firstly I have to say its a great app started out fine and matched my Garmin GPSs distance to anchor within 3 ft However At about 3am the wind shifted about 90o and suddenly the alarm went off nice and LOUD too It said the anchor had gone from 60ft to over 120ft distance which it hadnt thank god Seems just a small bug somewhere in the calculation when the wind was in the same direction it was perfect Suddenly went nuts
I love this little guy But you really have to leave the phone plugged in or it will be dead in the morning Usefully
Shows that my anchor is dragging when sitting on my kitchen table at home Does not work for me
Having cruised from Newport to Key West I wish apps like this were available then Too cold to try on the Chesapeake in the winter but I tested in the yard and worked great You want simple for an anchor alarm Good job Simple is good
So much more accurate and dependable than other anchor alarms Great app A must for boaters
Used this at anchor set at 80ft went off 3 times had me worried all night Tried it at my slip and showed me dragging over 300ft Also wont run in background so runs battery down FAST Would be nice app if it worked Useless shows dragging while at dock
If you want to sleep better at anchor use this app Installed on the iPhone and carried to the Vberth it saves me getting up and doing the 360 scan during the nite Works great Love it Great app
Great App As I havent dragged at anchor since installing this App I cant say how effectively it will wake me up but by setting the alarm distance very tight have tested it many times and it works great Jeffs software skills have added much to my enjoyment of boating Thanks Effective Easy to use
It only works if your screen is unlocked and the app is open and displayed So if you use your phone for other things or if you lockclose the display or if your phone lockscloses the display automatically it doesnt work On a trip this weekend it also spontaneously lostchanged my location twice Unlike my Garmin handheld GPS it doesnt include any kind of graphical display to show how you are swinging around your anchor over time to give a backup visual confirmation that its working right and you arent dragging Big disappointment Worthless
It DOES NOT run in the back ground So its useless No good
Concept is great execution is simple and clean But it wont run in the background Drop anchor turn it on get a text want to check weather take a photo of the sunset no longer running To me that makes it useless Wont run in background
The app seems to totally forget the anchor position if the app isnt in foreground or recent used list makes the App totally useless if you use your phone or tablet for other things Works but
Finally a good anchor alarm with easy simple directions Well done JS Great app
Looks good Test was good Pres Capt
If it is not left forward with the alarm activated it will forget the GPS location and an other alarm settings Latest version seems to forget its settings
I just returned from another month long trip in the Bahamas out of which all but 2 nights were on the hook and used Dragqueen every night Two words it works Indeed the previous version had an issue where it would occasionally shut down in certain conditions but the new one works perfectly The key is to set the alarm point for the conditions you are in depending on scope nearby boats or obstacle Fir instance when in areas where current reverses with tides and space is limited in Bahamians cuts or in ICW tidal creeks I always set it tight to be alerted when the current switches iPhone GPS reception is good enough to use it below deck A must have for boaters who anchor overnight
Doesnt work on my 6 plus I downloaded the app and it was frozen from the get go Doesnt work on 6 plus
In a quick test it worked really well inside my house Many thanks for this tool and the delightful app name Wait until the guys at Cherry Grove hear about this one I love it
This free app actually offers much more that just an anchor alarm in that it give you useful GPS information as you move around whether or not you are using it as intended But as a anchor alarm it is easy to use offers full instructions and customization to fit your needs i have been waiting for such an app and am pleased that it is offered for all to us Easy to use anchor alarm
Moved a bit alarm should have gone off Got nothing Even left it on in the foreground The app is simple and well done so 2 stars until it actually alerts me to a dragged anchor Alarm doesnt go off
