Ratings and Reviews
Shortcut button
Hi,
I would love to have a shortcut button on the main map screen, so I’ll be able to pre define it for any event on the road, like a warning or something else out of the events options. This way i will be able to quickly and safely report common events. Today I’m putting myself at risk doing multiple actions to report an event, while driving or not reporting I the event at all due to the complicated actions i need to take.
Waze Bugs that need to be fixed
I love Waze but there are several issues that need to be repaired. I have a saved address list of about twenty destinations in alphabetical order. About once a month this list becomes corrupted. The address remain intact but their order of display become random. I contacted Waze several times. They are aware of this issue but haven’t fixed it.
Bluetooth once worked fine on my car with Waze, Now I can only use the phone speaker, apparently Waze stopped supporting older car Bluetooth system in one of their updates. I contacted Waze but again they didn’t fix this bug. I also suggest that you constantly use their map on your phone because many times the voice message will come unfortunately after a turn or exit you should have taken.
I still find Waze to be the best in the market and will continue using it till there is another app with out all these bugs. Still it’s a pity that Waze doesn’t repair this issues & bugs.
Waze has gone downhill
While Waze used to be a reliable app that stays up to date with crashes, road closures, construction, etc., today Waze is not reliable. In Tel Aviv, Waze consistently routes me down one way streets in the wrong direction (Bugrashov st.) and down bus lanes (Allenby st.). The construction on Bugrahsov for instance was complete about a year ago so there is no excuse.
In one occurrence Waze refused to find a route that wasn’t a bus lane route and I accidentally got on that road and received a 100$ fine. While that is my fault for not noticing, it is very disappointing that Waze can’t stay up to date with the biggest city in the company’s origin country. To clarify I have checked multiple times that my vehicle is “private” in the setting menu.
In addition Waze causes some sort of audio disturbance in Apple CarPlay. Every time after there is an alert, music audio is muted or only played through certain speakers. This issue does not happen in other apps after an alert.
