Before switching to iPhone, I was using Google Maps with my Google Pixel. I don't know what's the algorithm they are using but, if I start driving from my home to work, they predict an exact time and more or less - a stable route.I downloaded Waze on iOS because Google Maps is unavailable in my country on this platform. I was impressed with the road notifications I am getting from the Waze community. Very-very helpful! But, when it comes to routes and time calculation - it is just a disaster. Terrible "help".First of all - it never predicts an exact time. Secondly, in just 3 months of use, about 3-4 times got in a closed road. Thirdly, it changes the route very often during driving and very often - without any time economy. I am driving from work to home simultaneously with my colleague to an exact same location because he is my neighbor too - I am using Waze and very often I am getting stuck in heavy traffic roads but he arrives sooner than me via alternative ways (I have 12 yrs driving experience he has 2 and I know better than him our city - Chisinau, the capital of Moldova)I am writing this review because yesterday I did the same check with another friend - he got to the destination 15 mins earlier and I got in a hell traffic road. How that is even possible if this app is so good???Are you using any AI?If Google will implement road notifications for their Google Map - than you will be simply forgotten because, from my POV - Waze is doing a terrible job finding the best route and predicting the ETAVery-very disappointingI really hope my review will help and I am willing to send you material in confirming the above if you my review can help improving the app
Bad optimisation
Formal One
Poorly optimised for cars that block touch screens when driving. The color difference between an icon and a selected icon is barely visible. A car crash waiting to happen while you’re figuring out which icon you selected using the buttons while driving…
