So happy to be in the top 3 !!!! Thank you guys for featuring us and for such an extensive review of the app. I think you covered everything :D

Love this video guys! Such valuable info for sailors getting into the world of liveaboard! Well done 😄

I’m coastguard volunteer so I hardly use Navionics and Windy. Those 2 apps are amazing tech. For Navily, like Savvy Navvy, no much use here in Wellington, New Zealand, but hopefully the community will be growing. Cool channel. Great content

In addition to Predict wind, there is also Predict wind off shore, it enables you to down load grib files (also in free version). Really handy in coastal situations where you are without cell covearge for a day or two.

Really interesting video. We've changed Anchor app already. Cheers guys 😊

[rafaelmalhado]

I've got to say this was the most informative video on those apps that I've seen!!
Even when you already use one of the mentioned, you guys talked about the full potential of each one ( I know I'm guilty of sometimes just use the basic features of each one....and I bet I'm not alone hehe )
Great video Guys, you never stop amazing me

[jvphelan]

Yes please. More of this. Liked how you both did this.

Anchor app saved me already, I´ve used it many times and the mirror function when you are away in a restaurant is fantastic tool... Usually I leave the Ipad on the boat and mirror it from my iPhone ... amazing

intrestingly, as a dinghy cruiser I'm already using anchor, windy and navionics. good to know these are sound choices. navionics tide data is up to 45 minutes out where I live though - so that last point from the Bear is really true!

Thanks, just wanted to say I love wind finder and C-Maps.
Cheers

Great insight, will definitely check them out. I use windy for everything not just sailing. Great app

[oommcc]

Is there any app that makes the phone to pick up the buoy and serve the drinks?

[Norse-sailing]

I like Savvy navvy in norway for my seilingboat

1 of the reasons i go sailing is to be away from the phone😂😂😂

ANCHOR ALARM APPS:
1.If you set your anchoralarm App without having WiFi, be advised that your position gonna be pretty unprecise.
2.Sitting in a bar ashore and after a couple drinks your mobile remote tells you that your boat is draging, you have to be pretty fast(and still fit) to jump in your dinghy, speed back to your boat, start the engine to avoid he worst.
My advise: Give allways plenty chain (you payed for it) Go on reverse, fix a mark on shore and check if your position stays stable. Take mask and snorkel to check your anchor. This helps for a good sleep.😊💤

I have tried to find the anchor alarm you mentioned in the USA.
All I get is a home alarm company in California.
HELP!

"Anchor" not available from Denmark, on the 22nd of September 2023, for Android.
