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.

Recent reviews

This seems like a cool app but why hasn’t it been updated in 2 years. Some of the similar competitors update their marine boating apps more frequently and they might be more advanced but they are not completely free like this app. Those other apps such as Argo rank higher in terms of the reviews. This app is 4.1 out of 5 stars and Argo is 4.9 out of 5 stars and then other apps such as Wavve boating is 4.7 and Savvy Navvy is also 4.7 out of 5 stars but none of those apps are completely free which I don’t like. You can get some features for free but some are not. Why would I pay for them when I can use this app (if it’s better) Now respectfully it might not be because the reviews are higher on the other apps when you view them on the App Store.
