This subject has probably been covered many times but I can't find what I want in the search portion. What is a good app for Apple phones that identifies land boundaries?

OnX
100% - this app is both amazing and kind of a bummer. Amazing for selfish reasons... a bummer that it gives folks a way to find ways in to secret squirrel spots (both fishing and hunting).

OnX and Basemaps are two commonly used apps...there is a newer app that was made specifically for fishermen but the name escapes me...sorry.

Thanks everybody. I couldn't remember the names and to check the App store there are about twenty different ones.
Has anyone tried TroutRoutes? It apparently has a land boundaries layer along with some other river & fishing features.

But the subscription cost with all the 
& 
sure has a fly fi$$$hing price tag compared to Gaia ($40 worldwide) & OnX (1 State $30 - 2 State $45) that can be used with other apps like RiverFlows, GoPaddling, and FishWA (yeah I know, works for me)...
#1 Trout Fishing App
Less time driving, more time on the water. TroutRoutes is the ultimate trout resource, with over 50,000 trout streams and over 350,000 access points.

On that note, I’ve often wondered how the actual landowners of the public lands that are left (that would be us) that have been leased out to private enterprises (like Taylor Shellfish, etc.), can’t have access for limited recreation (like fishing).
Same goes for public land that has had roads gated - bermed & trenched, perhaps due to lack of will and budget to clean up after "long term campers" and other slobs that leave their garbage, spent shotgun shells, shattered clays, shot up cans & bottles, trees cut & shot up...
This year my favorite Curtis Creek (for 30 years) approach has succumbed to two berms - trenches and a couple of downed trees 1 mile from the stream's only (former) road access. I can bike in though and there will be less slob trash for me to carry out.
This year I also purchased an annual walk-in permit that allows me unfettered easy-short distance legal access to a favorite stream reach on landlocked public land I've fished for 20 years that also has small sections within a timber company's property.
I love OnX as well.....but....it leaves a bit to be desired with the accuracy of the trails it shows on map. Several times I've checked OnX and the location it shows me is not very near where the OnX map shows the trail, even though I was physically on the trail.
Here's an example, the solid blue and red lines are the OnX trail. The dashed line is the actual trail.
Gaia however was dead nuts on in this same location. Meaning our location on gaia showed us exactly on the map trail line.
Some leased tidelands do offer offer public access for activities such as fishing, but as @Brian Miller mentioned, there are a bunch of slobs and littering scumbags out there. I'd expect those types of accesses to be gone sometime in the future due to those types of acts.
