No support, no documentation
I’m trying to get N2K data from my network displaying in my iPad but only some limited data elements will display. My email to support went ignored and there does not appear to be any published documentation for the app. For $20 this should be better supported…
Versatile product
I had some trouble setting up the connection but got speedy and excellent support from the developer. Still programming the details but so far all working fine. I run it on IPhone and iPad.
Support seems to have gone
I’ve submitted a couple of queries via the GitHub support page but no response in the last 2 months.
Developer is very responsive
Very good developer
Great App - but can you use to local iPhone GPS?
Really great App. Easy to connect, reliable, everything great but I don’t have a GPS on my boat so I’d like to use the iPhone GPS directly or connecting to a GPS server app such as GPS2IP. Is this configuration supported?
UI needs help
Once you get into map, can’t get out. User Experience Design is not a hobby, it takes actual development and knowledge about how to wireframe, prototype, test and deploy. Expensive app to pay for for UX issues.
Response from developer
Swipe at the top of the screen. I’ve been in the industry developing software for over 30 years, but thanks for the lecture!
So glad I found this app
This app saved me from complicating my system. I already had all the hardware I needed and this enabled me to get what I was needing out of it. It get the signal from my multiplexer, which for me is my Vesper, and all the NMEA 2000 sensors that feed into it. Thanks Scott.
Wind Data not available
I purchased the app to use and monitor wind data [among other data points], but the app does not parse $WIMWD nor $SDMDA messages. I have a fairly new Simrad system (only 7yrs old) and these are the messages I need to view/monitor. I tried using OpenCPN and they are parsed correctly by that application. Please add functionality for this in your app. I emailed the developer and provided all necessary log and message data. I am still waiting on a response.

Excellent app and fast support!!
I have a basic raymarine seatalk ng system on a sailboat. It includes a p70/ACU-200/EV-1 autopilot, wireless wind (T120 and T112), micro-talk gateway, Axiom 7 MFD, and YDWG. Not only can I see wind, gps, and rudder reference data in this app, but I can also control the autopilot!! It took only a few minutes to setup and even though I had the settings incorrect on my first go, Scott Bender’s advice fixed it right away. Definitely reach out before giving up!

Fantastic
This app represents a new step in bringing marine data into the hands of boat owners and anyone who has ever wanted to know more about the systems on their boat in a uniform, open manner.
Excellent
All the data I need on my watch phone or iPad. Controlling the autopilot from the watch has been huge.
Works Great!
The attention to details of this software is amazing.
- reorganizing the gauges to your liking.
- rescaling the graphs.
- connecting to almost any data source.
- navionics map integration.
This software does it all.
Most important, it just works.
If the data is on your nmea2000 network, this software can read it and display it in any way that you want.
It may even give Maretron n2kview a run for its money.
I use this on an ipad to see at a glance my boats status, anywhere I am.
The developer is also very quick and responsive to questions.

Great way to access your data
I’m using OpenPlotter to gather a lot of data on my boat. Running WilhelmSK on an old iPad is a great way to turn that data into useable information. After adding a charting app my nav station looks like a thousand bucks!
Love WilhelmSK!
It’s a great way to display NMEA 2000 sensors on our boat. Integrates well with our YDWG-02 purchased from Twig Marine so we can see our data over WiFi! Thank you WilhelmSK!
New Features Weekly
This developer is the most responsive and attentive I have ever experienced. Stacks up against N2KView all day! This is the best NMEA 2000 instrument viewer. Plus Victron Venus OS views, and Navionics maps with Active Captain and AIS overlay!
WilhelmSK - the jack knife
That’s the ultimate solution for me on our boat. A nice and clear looking display for almost everything. I even can display and control IoT devices with the web gauge or my Victron stuff with full control and show of all parameters, just like a CCGX.
There is not much I miss and if so, the author is really helpful and responsive. It only lacks of documentation. So you get to work your way through it until one day the docs are ready.
And until then I maybe have discovered only 50% of its potential.
Highly recommended and a must have if you are able to set up a SignalK server.

Not just for boats!
I use the Signal K server on an RPi to aggregate data from my home automation system and then visualize the output on WilhelmSK. Awesome app, saved me loads of time and looks great.
Finally
Finally I found what I was looking for. A smart way to build a Cockpit instrument panel. On an iPad SideBySide with my navigation app it is a perfect solution. The settings need a bit of “getting used to” but then it is just great.
However there is one final function that would make this app even more better: recording signalK stream and uploading it somewhere. You can view and safe it but I would like to record it in the background (while viewing the instruments)

Brilliant!
I don't know why more sailors are not finding out about this app.... but they need to.
Combined with a VERY inexpensive/low power Raspberry Pi or iKommunicate, anything and everything that transmits NMEA data can be displayed on your iPhone, iPad, iWatch and even an Apple TV.
You can even receive your ships data anywhere on the planet via an internet connection.
The support is excellent. The engineer implemented AIS and walked me through how it works.
No need to buy an AIS that has WIFI.
