Hi Mike. I’ve tried a number of suction cup mounts and none of them was any good except the one by RAM Mount.

I appreciate this, I know Ram Mounts are considered to be the best. I'll look this up, thank you!

I’ve never had an issue on the trails with Scosche magnetic mounts for my Androids. I’m now using the Peak Design mount for my iPhone.

One more little tidbit: the temptation is to mount the suction cup to the windshield at the edge, next to the driver’s side a-pillar. I had mounted a Garmin In-Reach there, and at an inopportune moment the suction cup let go and the In-Reach almost bounced out the open window. It was saved by the USB cable, but if it hadn’t been plugged in …
Take appropriate precautions. :-)
I have my eye on one of these:

I agree. Mounts to the ac vent which sounds bad, but I don't notice any loss in air plus it keeps the phone from overheating.

Agree, I have been using one since Oct 2021; no problems.

I use a Scoschi Grip-It windshield suction cup all purpose holder. I use it primarily to hold my old Garmin hand held GPS unit. Because the GPS is relatively heavy, I mount it so that the GPS is resting atop the dash. Never had it come loose or pop off the windshield that way.
I bought it quite a few years ago at Walmart. Today Scoschi sells basically the same unit under another name. It’s a pretty substantial unit and adjustable to fit just about anything.
Amazon.com: Scosche SUHWDL-XCES0 Select Suction Cup Phone Mount for Car with Adjustable Gooseneck and Phone Holder, Black : Cell Phones & Accessories
A suggestion: moisten the suction cup with an alcohol wipe or water before sticking the base of any windshield mount to the windshield. It enhances the seal of the suction cup.
Another thing, I find that the GPS receives signals much better on my 5th Gen if mounted toward the center of the windshield. In my old ‘02 Tacoma TRD I used it over against the driver side A pillar without issue; but on my current rig, it doesn’t read as well in that location. May or may not affect your cell phone using your app.

Right. I just moved to PHX and it really keeps the phone cool.

I always had my heavy a** IPhone XR with big Otterbox case on it and it never fell off, even telescoped all the way out.
Like you, I didn't want anything huge, to spend a lot or want to drill. I'd say it's been well worth the low $12 entry fee. Suits my needs just fine.
