About Sailsafe Pro. Anchor alarm. APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Sailsafe is an application designed to increase safety in the anchoring of small and medium-sized ships.It lets you stablish a safety zone around your anchor and activate an alarm that will alert you in case your ship leaves that zone at any given time (very common situation when anchor drifting occurs or the chain breaks). You will be able to see where the boat is located on the map at any moment, which is very useful if it is dark or visibility is reduced.
The safety zone can be set just indicating a radius.
In PRO version, you can also specify an aditional exclusion zone to detect, for example, changes in wind direction that could put our boat at risk if, for example, the coast is positioned itself to leeward.
Sailsafe has been designed to maximize the safety after anchoring. Therefore, once the alarm is activated, not only the position of the ship is checked, but also the level of the battery in the mobile device or the state of the GPS signal. If any of these parameters fails, then the app will produce an audible alarm to inform about the specific problem. Thus, after setting the alarm you can relax and trust Sailsafe. It will be watching for you.
IMPORTANT: Recent Android versions may stop the alarm when the device is idle (screen off) to save battery. To avoid this, go to battery settings and, at the end, add Sailsafe to the unmonitored apps list (this option might change depending on the Android version). Also check that you are not using any battery saving mode in your device.
Features:
- It runs in the background.
- Main screen shows useful information:
1. Current position (latitude, longitude and accuracy of the measure).
2. Current security radius.
3. Current drift.
- Set graphically and easily a security zone with an optional exclusion zone.
- Wind forecast included (48h). You will be warned if the boat is expected to be out of the security zone due to a wind change.
- The ship and the security zone are always shown over a map with optional satellite view.
- Once the alarm is set, you can adjust the anchor position in case it is not correct. Just indicate the actual bearing (read it from the compass) and estimated distance between the ship and the anchor (surface distance).
- Option to ignore the current volume of the device and set it to the max when the alarm is triggered.
- Option to set a minimum battery level. When reached, the alarm is triggered.
- Option to allow automatic alarm re-launch after a false positive.
- Option to keep the screen on while the alarm is activated.
- Option to call a phone number when the alarm is triggered.
- Remote commands:
1. An incoming call from a defined phone will reset the alarm.
2. Send a SMS with the word STATUS to the on board device and it will respond with another SMS containing useful information about the location of the ship.
- After a set number of seconds without GPS signal, the alarm is triggered.
- Option to mute alarm tone after a set number of minutes (to avoid annoying pets in the boat if the alarm is triggered and nobody is on board).
- Option to set the measurement unit (feet or meters).
- Three modes of operation:
1. Normal. GPS readings every 10 seconds. Simple algorithm to discard odd positions. (Save battery when the device is not charging).
2. Fine. GPS readings every 2 seconds. Complex averaging algorithm based on accuracy and time of the last 10 GPS readings to discard odd positions making the whole system smooth and robust. More power consumption.
3. Continuous. GPS readings every 1 second. Same algorithm as in fine mode. Optimus for adverse weather conditions. More power consumption.
4. Poor GPS signal mode.
- When re-enabling alarm, if ship moved less than 150 meters, you can opt between keeping last anchor position (useful after a false alarm) or using the actual GPS reading.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★Best for anchorage task. Different from other similar apps is that you can set it up after an anchor ⚓ is out. Allows to adjust anchor bearing, distance, danger sector, etc. I used it since 3 years and it works well. Minus one star 🌟 because to have a sound 🔊 alarm, one must keep phone in non-silent modus. So if I turned off sound for the night, app would not wake you up, like normal alarm ⏰ clock 🕒 does. Once this little inconvenience is fixed, I'd give 5 ✨.
4 ★It seems like an awesome app but on my galaxy s5 I can't access the options screen like I can on my tablet. Even on the paid version.
5 ★What does it mean or do???
5 ★Used to require internet access frequently to check license now only the first time and every eight months after. Thanks for fixing this. I like the app and sleep better with out on.
4 ★After spending a night watching that the boat hold position on a stormy night, it finally dragged anchor. This would have helped. Would be nice if it used Open Street Maps because there often is no network connection. Also would prefer the defined zone to be a straight line (instead of an arc and a circle) as that better describes most shores.
4 ★A great alarm for when you're on the boat. The emergency call option is a good idea, but it doesn't link well with hangouts or Skype. I can't get it to make calls over data from my tablet. It opens the app but doesn't automatically make the call.
4 ★Would love an option to keep the screen on while running.. Along with a night mode. And a track display of where you've been. Then it would be perfect.
5 ★Great app, value price, good support. Recommended.
5 ★Brilliant, always use at anchor
5 ★i live on my boat. this app is a must have!, a life saver. there is a free vers, but, i support others when they save lives!.
5 ★Nice
5 ★Brilliant. Thanks. Always use it when anchoring. Thanks for update features. Can u add list of what each alarm is for? Eg satellite lost. And keep list so can look back at history. Ta
