I like the simplicity, but it only works when you leave your phone unlocked and on, which is impossible. Tested many times. Problem is Android 10 and higher defaults to use location "when the app is open" and won't offer "all the time" until the app asks for the service (other apps, like Boating by Garmin sorted this issue, I'm sure you can, too). Willing to try again once solved. I trusted the app and drifted 100m without alarm. I now bought a better anchor. Next up is a better anchor alarm :)

Hello, please make sure you disabled any battery optimizations on your device. See the link in our FAQ for manufacturer specific settings: https://ankeralarm.app/en/faq
We don't use "all the time" permission because of privacy and instead start a foreground service (ongoing notification) to get location access while the app is in the background.
