User Reviews

KnowWake is praised for KnowWake zones and boating data, free access, ease of use, and utility for route planning and ETA. But it suffers from frequent crashes and instability, map/routing not loading, data gaps or inaccuracies, occasional login issues, and infrequent updates. Overall, it’s a promising all-in-one boating tool that currently struggles with reliability.
Pros
  • Provides KnowWake zones and other boating data, helping plan trips and avoid wake areas.
  • Best truly free app with useful, consolidated boating information.
  • Easy to use and navigate.
  • Helpful for route planning and estimating ETA.
  • All-in-one boating tool covering multiple needs.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability; app often freezes or crashes on load.
  • Routing and map features often fail to load or populate.
  • Data gaps and inaccuracies in wake zones and POIs.
  • Login/authentication issues reported by users.
  • Perceived lack of timely updates; last update may be years ago.

I can’t figure out how to see depths. Does it only show in the exact spot you’re in? If so, how do you plan what route to take?
