    Does anyone use an anchor watch app for iPhone iOS? If so which one do you think is best and how reliable are they. I sleep with my iPhone charging next to by berth and have Starlink.
    Any recommendations and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I use Anchor Pro. Works well for me and you can have settings to ignore the occasional GPS drift. Also it’s nice if you go to shore, you can still remotely access it to get an update on where your boat is relative to the anchor and also will get remote notifications if she drags.

    I use the built in anchor alarm in Aquamap. Works well. I used it maybe 100+ nights a year

    Thanks so much. Will be doing a bit more anchoring in the North Channel , Lake Huron over the next month and thought it would be a nice extra.
