A lot of work left to do

Auto routing takes me across land. A lot of work left to do to make this usable and preferred. At $10 less than Navionics, too expensive for what it offers right now. Keep improving, and incorporate an anchor alarm. That is one thing Navionics doesn’t have.

Amazing app

We used this app again this summer on a two week trip on the Rideau Canal from Ottawa to Kingston, Ont. The app made it easy to navigate the big lakes where channel markers can be hard to see. The bonus is the option of a monthly subscription. By far the easiest and most feature-filled marine nav app out there!

They fixed it😊

I put a three star review a few days ago because the area where I boat wasn’t covered which was Lake of the Woods. Within 12 hours they had fixed that and sent me an email telling me to update the app. All great now. Now that’s service.

Garbage do not buy

Does not work at all , total waste of money

Bait and switch

Says you have maps then wants a subscription. Hell I’ll go buy me a TP for that paying that every year.

Provide some type option for free

Couldn’t tell you what the app offers. Obviously you give your email and name before they tell you anything. Once you create a simple profile, pay wall. X out, restart… same paywall. X out, log back in paywall.

Like no offense I understand the idea a company needs profits but i don’t and know one else knows what the app helps with doing. Let me just pay 70 buck to find out like no! Fix your philosophy, make it free then ask for money like every other app.

Lake Vermilion in Mn.

No nautical data for one of Minnesota’s largest lakes! Of course I don’t find that out until I’ve paid for a subscription.

Just what I needed!

I used Wavve to navigate Okanagan Lake and Shuswap Lake in BC, Canada in a rented boat that had no depth gauge.

Once you get the hang of it, it works *great* — it was just what I needed:

- I downloaded the map for offline use because I wouldn’t have signal
- I viewed the map looking for shallow spots to be ready for
- I entered boat draft and expected avg speed
- I manually entered routes, and then looked at the time estimates
- And then I watched my progress along the routes live as I boated.

Outstandingly well thought out and designed.

Thank you!

Great App for novice boaters!

I’m on Lake of the Woods 1-2 weeks per year. This app removes a lot of anxiety for me as a minimally experienced boater. Especially regarding navigation and hazards.

I love this app!

I’ve been using Wavve for years and it only gets better. The charts are so easy to read and the autorouting is phenomenal.
I’ve tried all the nav apps out there and this is the closest thing to actually having Google Maps on the water! I also love all the community points and seeing other Wavve app users on the water, it really has started to feel like a community. I also need to say that their customer support is the best I’ve ever interacted with. They are so friendly and get back to you right away. I’m sure I will be a lifelong customer.

Not free

Thought it would be like Waze but no it’s not free and I don’t need it enough to pay.

Huge help navigating an unfamiliar lake

Very accurate course and water depth navigation!

Not Useful in Northern Ontario

The map is not topical, the same map as google satellite. Shallows totally missing for Lake Huron. Also lost $12 after using the app for 2h because cancelling is for next month. Couldn’t use without signing up.

Forced subscription before trying

Sucks all apps force you to agree to subscription rather then providing you with an actual free trial like this one I was gonna give it a try but not anymore

Lorne

Great

no information on big lakes near me.

i wanted to go out on a few lakes near me but it literally says no information. but showes me everything about other lakes 200 miles away. waste of money for this app

Does this work with apple car play as i have a screen installed on my boat

I have a car play device on the boat which alone music and so on but also does gps so is this app compatible with apple car play?

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.

Useless for Key West

Had zero clue how to get to Jewfish Basin
