I use two chart apps - Navionics, which seems ubiquitous; and Savvy Navvy, which lots of people seem to dislike. The latter doesn’t link to my AIS system but I really like it especially the way it presents the charts.

Navionics. I just try to make sure I don’t forget to turn the app off once I get on the mooring. Seeing my top speeds, average speed, distance, course and elapsed time is really neat as a new sailor.

I was looking for the same thing. Most apps were too clunky or focused on navigation. So I built Skipper, a simple iOS app that auto-logs your trips and creates clean maps with distance, speed, and stats. You can export GPX, search past sails, and filter by crew, boat, or weather.
