What's New in Wavve Boating

5.8.7

August 3, 2026

See the water more clearly than ever. We've redesigned the map to make it much easier to distinguish deep water from shallow water at a glance. You'll notice the biggest improvements on inland lakes and when using the app in bright sunlight, helping you navigate with greater confidence. We hope you love this update as much as we do! As always, if you have any questions or feedback, reach out to the Wavve Boating team anytime at community@wavveboating.com. We even answer on weekends!

Response from developer

Hi William, thanks for your review! Unfortunately, Wavve does not run on Apple CarPlay at this time. That said, we understand how valuable that feature could be and will pass it along to our development team for future updates.

No lake data

Has no depth data on one of the most popular lakes in the country

No free version

Pay to use only app. Makes you create an account then can’t use the app without providing payment details for a brief trial period.
