It is also very easy to message with the Marina. ### 5/5 — Great booking service *2026-07-19, version 7.11.0* The app is so easy to use and has so many good marina options. It’s my preferred booking tool. ### 5/5 — Easy Peasy! *2026-07-17, version 7.11.0* Easy!! ### 5/5 — Boater *2026-07-16, version 7.11.0* Awesome job by Owen. ### 5/5 — Easy and Dependable *2026-07-11, version 7.11.0* Dockwa makes booking a slip effortless. The app is fast, intuitive, and always reliable, no confusing menus, no dropped reservations. Booking, payments, and confirmations just work every time. For anyone managing marina stays, Dockwa is a dependable tool you can trust on the water. ### 2/5 — Better.. not great… *2026-07-08, version 7.11.0* App is quirky.. information is inadequate.. besides that… I liked calling and setting up the old fashioned way.. just saying… ### 3/5 — Password *2026-07-01, version 7.11.0* I am caught in an ugly circle. I can’t remember my password, and I tried the Magic login which worked, but in order to change my password I need my old one within the app! Help? ### 2/5 — IoS 15.8 *2026-06-29, version 5.34.0* My I pad work just fine, but Apple will not update the IOS any more. I am stuck at IOS 15.8.8. Why are you excluding people with older machines? You have been duped. ### 5/5 — Great Service *2026-06-27, version 7.11.0* This app totally rocks for boaters! ### 4/5 — Why wouldn’t you join? *2026-06-24, version 7.11.0* Great service! Get a Plus membership for even better service! ### 5/5 — Easier than making any hotel reservations. *2026-06-15, version 7.11.0* The app is so easy to use! ### 5/5 — Easy app *2026-06-07, version 7.11.0* Love the app. Easy to use ### 5/5 — Easy to use and navigate *2026-06-04, version 7.11.0* Have been using it a couple of years for our favorite marina. It’s easy to use and I like that it chronologically orders our dates even if we book them randomly! ### 5/5 — Essential *2026-05-23, version 7.11.0* A critical companion for anyone spending time cruising on East Coast waterways. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible experience *2026-08-22, version 7.13.0* I hate this app so badly that I’m considering switching my boat to a marina that doesn’t use this app. ### 1/5 — Garbage on an iPhone *2026-08-04, version 7.13.0* The request button gets stuck under the keyboard. PITA to actually click to make a reservation ### 1/5 — Reserving *2026-07-11, version 7.11.0* Only can book 24 hours not blocks of time. ### 1/5 — Unreasonable Cancellation Policies *2026-07-01, version 7.11.0* When sailing there are always unforeseen delays. The cancellation policies I’ve seen thus far steal your payments even with weather delays. ### 1/5 — Too much automation *2026-06-26, version 7.11.0* This app is difficult to use unless you have a Dockmaster that’s going to monitor the app all the time - 24x7!!! We had hosts meet us at the office, but we couldn’t pay them, we had to download the app. There is also no place to enter a mooring Ball number or a slip number….I think we still need humans for this activity! ### 1/5 — Dockwa *2026-05-22, version 7.11.0* You can’t see a marina map, pick your slip or see a calendar to view open slips in the future. What’s the point?? ### 1/5 — Add on Prices *2025-09-03, version 6.5.0* Added electric to slip price and initial price it was $10 then it was listed as $20 on the final bill. ### 1/5 — A troubled app *2025-07-02, version 6.3.0* Does not view my email as “valid”, pita to reserve ### 1/5 — Review *2025-06-21, version 6.3.0* I have been cruising for eight years full time. Nobody I have met in the Kadey Krogen group and others find Dockwa a good experience. It is very limited in its ability to make a reservation, ask questions, etc. I try to visit marinas that do not use Dockwa. ### 1/5 — Dockwa Cannot Consolidate Accounts *2025-05-07, version 6.0.0* Be careful - if you have an old account with data, make sure you stick with it. They’re unable to consolidate history across accounts. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App needs improvement *2026-09-05, version 7.13.0* Being disconnected from a map makes it really hard to make choices. Comparisons between locations would be really useful. UI is clumsy and not intuitive. ### 5/5 — Easy as Apple Pie *2026-09-04, version 7.13.0* Using the Dockwa app is as easy as eating apple pie !! Smooth and easy going. Makes having a dock spot stress free when traveling to different marinas or just going out to lunch or dinner ### 5/5 — We love Dockwa *2026-09-04* We have had a great experience with Dockwa. Our favorite marina on Fire Island started using it about 6 years ago and quite honestly we were against it but it has really been fantastic!! Just knowing that our slip is secured for us gives us great peace of mind. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how great Strongs & Grover (the managers of the dock) are doing!! These guys are wonderful! ### 5/5 — Watch Hill Fire Island National Seashore *2026-08-26, version 7.13.0* Simply the best. Great crew, hospitality and service. ### 5/5 — Reservations *2026-08-13, version 7.13.0* Nice and Easy! ### 5/5 — First stop for reservations *2026-08-13, version 7.13.0* Love the app, easy to use, and most marinas are very responsive. Definitely my first pass at making reservations here on the Maine coast and elsewhere. ### 5/5 — So Easy *2026-08-05, version 7.13.0* This app makes the whole process of booking and communicating with the marina so EASY ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-07-29, version 7.12.0* This app is very easy to use and very helpful. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-25, version 7.11.0* Don’t sign up for plus ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-07-24, version 7.11.0* Always so easy to book through my local marina. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
