Hooked: Anchor Alarm & Remote1.4.10 - App Store

Let's Hook Your Boat Down!

Hooked is your trusty digital anchor watch. It keeps a sharp eye on your boat's position, sounding the alarm if it drifts beyond your comfort zone. Enjoy the same peace of mind whether you're on deck or ashore, without draining your device's battery.

Key Features:
* Real-time Tracking: Watch your boat's movements like a hawk. Colorful trails make it easy to see where you've been.
* Remote Command Center: Control your anchor session from anywhere with an internet connection. Pause, adjust, or relocate your session with ease - it's all up to you.
* History Buff: Review past anchor sessions to analyze your boating patterns.
* Customization Galore: Tailor Hooked to your preferences. Adjust units, track appearance, and even the alarm volume.
* Share the Love: Let friends and family keep an eye on your boat too.
* Smart Connectivity: Hooked plays nice with other devices. Connect to your chart plotter for more accurate GPS data and to view depth and wind speed.
* Energy Efficient: Hooked is designed to be gentle on your device's battery, ensuring it lasts as long as you need it.
* GPS Savvy: Hooked intelligently filters out unreliable GPS signals, preventing false alarms.
* Low Battery Alert: Never be caught off guard. Hooked warns you when your device is running low.

Note: Remote monitoring requires two Hooked-equipped devices with internet access and a Hooked Premium subscription for the boat-based device. For a cheaper option you can also subscribe to Hooked Essential which enables remote notifications (comparable to Anchor Pro’s “Anchor Premium”).

Ready to drop anchor with confidence? Hooked is your go-to companion for worry-free boating.
