Lake Genius – Powell Boating

We’ve taken several family houseboat trips to the lake in years past. We normally relied on maps. I was happy to find an affordable electronic option when I learned of Lake Genius, so downloaded it and subscribed prior to our trip in mid-October 2025. Looking at the app at home I was impressed with the amount of detail concerning elevations and landmarks. In use on the lake, I had a hard time finding a zoom level that would show me both buoy locations and enough elevation / depth information to be useful while underway, but recent updates have fixed that. We found the app very useful overall and a great value.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie or an old Powell lover, this app is brilliant for everyone!! It shows hazards, where beaches are coming out and you can even download offline maps. Plus so much more!! It’s worth every penny!!

App won’t load it stays on the subscription page even after paying. Update: Forest ended up taking care of me and got the app working again I had to completely delete it and redownload so that seems it may of been a software issue on my iPhone.
