Looking for an anchor watch programme. Various folk suggesting Anchor Pro for Iphone. Uses less battery than chart plotter.

Anyone had experience of this or can recommend a better anchor watch.
 
I have triend many anchor alarm apps for Android. We had decent experiences with Anchor Lite for Android. Also Sail Grib AA wins my prize for easiest interface to use.

The biggest issue I have had is that I have a steel boat so the internal GPS on my device doesn't always work very well. I have been trying to find an app that can utilize the external NEMA GPS which is broadcast over my wifi network by the AIS.
 
I use Anchor! (Link ‎Anchor!) on my iPhone. Easy to set: drag and drop the anchor icon to the correct location once the anchor has been set, place the alarm zone to wake you up. Place iPhone near bunk with charger plugged in, sleep well.
Been using it for the past 4 or 5 years, never had a problem with it except forgetting to turn it off before departing......
