Some problems found
Palaidniex
In general it's really good. And it's developing an getting better. One thing that's not solved in all versions - crossing borders and starting using it while roaming ends up with voice guidance language change. Why? 😃 and if you add one waypoint it is hard to find total mileage and ETA at final destination
Developer Response

We would like to look into all of these points for you. Please reach out to our support team here: https://tinyurl.com/3brby7uv and someone from the team will get back to you soon.
Changing Route
Mareks004
Just made a new waze account for my mother. I use waze daily, i am very happy with the app. But for some reason waze is change route for my mother new account. I selected one of alternative roads (not the default one) so she won’t have to drive throughout city which is nightmare for her. So after 15min drive after i selected alternative route (around city - which is a bit longer) waze app changed back to default route which lead my ild lady straight into city. Not happy with such app behaviour at all. WAZE PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!!
Map’s orientation.
JoanWatson2019
The one fault is that on iPhone no option of switching of navigation’s map’s orientation from the North onto driving direction. Because the iPhone connects with the car’s media-system, the map on car’s display is always oriented to the north, and in the trip it isn't always convenient.
This version includes several bug fixes and performance improvements.
Please note the newest version of the Waze app includes all the changes made in previous versions. Updating your Waze app to the newest Waze version means that all the changes made in previous versions will be downloaded to your device.
