Editors’ Notes
People power meets the open road in this amazing navigation app. Waze’s crowd-sourced alerts come from real drivers, not algorithms, delivering info you won’t see anywhere else to keep your commute flowing. The friendly interface and convenient detour routing really help the app shine, and its social-network integration make road trips with buddies a blast.
Great app
Love the app, find it so much better than Google maps. Only issue I have with it, is that when you have finished with the app and flick it off the screen it is still showing active in the top left corner of the screen(the blue GPS arrow). Only way to knock it off is to double tap the screen to the app switcher then swipe Waze completely off the screen to fully close the app, still having to do the above.
Plus I think there is something else that potentially needs looking at and that is the volume control for the app, either through phone or Apple carplay, I think there should be someway of adjusting the volume via a control of sorts before setting off, as it is at the moment only gives a a couple of choices of on,off or notifications, and the only way to actually turn volume up or down is to wait for voiced directions from the app to talk to be able to adjust it, but sometimes you have to be pretty quick to do it and it has to be turned up or down with the actual volume control of the infotainment system which as I've pointed out that if you aren't quick enough doing it you end up turning volume up or down for your music etc instead of the guided voice volume.
Other than the 2 points I've made, I'd just like to say that the app is still excellent, and I believe more accurate than the others
Currently running on an iPhone 15pro max with ios 18.5

Great idea, poor execution
This app is great I won’t lie. The reports are very handy and the traffic avoidance is lifesaving in comparison to using google maps or car built in navigation. But over the years Waze still has many issues that haven’t been fixed yet. 1. Why does finding a route take so long to calculate. Even small routes and even when I have a perfect internet connection. 2. Why is reporting an incident on Waze so hard to do while driving. It’s encouraging you to touch your phone more with small buttons and hard to read text and would much prefer for voice commands and bigger more friendly user texts and buttons. 3. Traffic shows up less on maps than it used to. 4. Default voice sounds very robotic (Kate) and it seems like this is a very recent issue. 5. No heads up option for navigation. 6. Crashes and fails a lot more time than google maps and apple maps. Happened on all our devices with Waze. But apart from these issues the app is probably one of the best navigation apps.
