User Reviews for Anchor Pointer Compass GPS

Nope

I hate leaving poor reviews, and I hope I have reason to update this one at some point. For the moment, though...I parked on a peninsula. I set my location. I checked the map. I took a trail to the water. I kayaked across the lake. I kayaked back across the lake, past my original trail/entry point to the other side of the peninsula. I checked the app. It told me to go back across the lake 375 yards. I went the direction opposite from the pointer about 75 yards, got in my car, went home, and left this review. Had I paid attention to the app, I’d still be swimming. Thankfully, my directional sense is pretty good.

Needs work

I was looking for a better app to pin my car and I also wanted an app that pins various locations. I thought I found it here, but it has some flaws. I sat in a location and dropped an anchor. I went back to the app later and checked the anchor and it said I was 24 yards from the anchor. I never moved from the spot I dropped it! Also, if you want to get back to your car, it isn't as accurate as it should be. The latitude and longitude pin should always be exactly the same if you drop an anchor or mark your car. For some reason it will take you to the approximate location, but not exactly.It would be a great app if it could be more consistent and accurate. Please improve it so it can be much more reliable.Update: It looks like it was fixed. I will try it again on the car marking, but it seems like it’s better! Thanks for the fix!!!!

Very well designed

Its design is not cluttered and is very easy to grasp. I will definitely continue to use this app whenever I need to find a location again or find a parked car. It’s much easier to just open this app and make an anchor than to go through the process of dropping a pin in Google or Apple maps. I always find it very tedious and hard to name and manage pins in those apps, but here it’s really simple and with the added features of the anchor list + being able to use different icons for different locations I’m able to pull up a location really quickly.

Very nice

Would get five stars if directions back to your car was not as the bird flies. I just can't seem to get my wings to work, so I would prefer the shortest route by foot back to my car. Removed 4 stars back to 3 stars after your decision to change the graphic to become the very UGLIEST icon on the App Store. Send somebody back to school to learn how colors should work together to make you want to touch it and my rating will go up. I LOVED the yellow and black anchor image, LIKED the yellow and black pointer image, and GAG each time I look at the purple and puke-colored update

Simple and effective. Please keep it that way

If you’re hiking, or traveling in an unknown zone with no reliable cell coverage, you can use this app to pin markers and easily go back to them.The modern technological equivalent of Theseus thread. This app can get you out of places and find your way to coordinates. Best of all, it doesn’t need cell phone coverage to work!

Exactly what I need except..

This app is minimal and as an over the road expediter it is extremely useful to note rest areas and truck stops. The only thing I would like to see added is a way to tag the anchors so that they can be sorted and displayed accordingly, possibly allow the pin colors to be customized per entry. I love the app but adding in those two items would make this thing perfect. Maybe sell it as a 99 cent unlock or something

My review

Simple and easy to use. Gives you a direction and distance to where your going that you can EASILY follow. Great way to find friends/family at a huge park like Disney or on the beach while on vacation. Takes the stress out of losing your group if you oh say, gotta go to the bathroom. Everyone usually has to wait for you or come with but now they can go ahead to wherever and you have a direction and distance to where your group is. Great job guys 👍🏼

Simple and perfect for finding a parked car!

This app is the simplest and easiest tool that I’ve found for locating a parked car. I can mark my spot easily with two taps (one to open the app, the other to mark the car). Finding it again is easy too with the map marker and directional compass pointing to the location. Perfect for my needs!!UPDATE: recently the “park car” functionality takes a really, really long time to kick in for some reason. I have to wait upwards of 30-40 seconds for it to figure out where I am and place a pin, which makes it almost useless. Please fix this! I love this app otherwise.

Useful but...

A really good concept. Kept me on target a couple times. What's problematic is friend finding mode. I don't want anyone who can find my email address to be able to track me; it would be nice if you could send specific invites/approvals to increase sense of security regarding WHO specifically can track you down.Also the accuracy is a bit spotty. Anytime I’ve tried to find my car it ends up off by ~25 feet or so; not bad but can seem far off in a large lot with a lot of cars or outside venue.

Perfectly useful simple app

This app is simple and useful. Save a point then get an arrow and distance to that point. Perfect for hiking, biking, boating. The only thing I would like to see is an update to the watch app so it functions like the iPhone version. A simple pointer and distance on the watch would be helpful when finding a car or for retiring to a point when hosing a jet ski. It’s easy to get lost on one of those! Unfortunately the watch app just gives walking / driving directions same as Apple Maps. Essentially it works the same as using a pin in Apple Maps. Being able to have a pointer and distance would make the watch app so much more useful.

Description

Use your iPhone to navigate even without an internet connection! Travel safely. Save a place or a parked car.

Find it easily later! How often do you spend 10-15 minutes looking for your car in a big parking lot? With Anchor Pointer you can find your parked car in less than a minute*. User Feedbacks “I used it while hiking on the river bluffs today and tested it. It worked great. Took me right back to my car and even showed how far away in it was.” — by Bjverano “Unbelievably Easy and Accurate!!! Finally a GPS that does have all the clutter that a normal GPS would have. For off-road driving and hiking it's a MUST!!!” — by Jimbo6765 “Having recently spent a weekend hiking in the Peak District I found myself using this app constantly to help with orienteering. The app lends itself to so many different uses (the Park facility being just one of them). Recommended!” — by S N Khan * Park Car only works in open parking lots due to GPS restrictions.
