I have experience with both of these apps. They are fully functional and have been a part of my electronics suite.
Aqua Map has an anchor alarm on the app. So does TZ iBoat.
Both have charting, and the anchor alarm is a feature.

If it's just a basic app, try Anchor Pro (core features are free). I have no experience with this app. I received a recommendation for it.

Maybe its where I have tried but my experience is all phone-based alarms aren’t as dependable or precise as is the chartplotter’s anchor function.

I’ve used Anchor Alarm Pro and Aqua Maps. I prefer Aqua Maps, mostly because I pay for it anyway for the charting, and the full alarm functionality with plotting comes with that. I haven’t had any problems with the accuracy. One annoyance with both is the alarm volume is set based on the phone’s regular audio volume. Keep your audio low before bed and you might not hear it if it goes off.
