customize Shortcut buttons on map screen
I think its better let users to add 3 shortcut buttons(floating or fix) to map screen like ( vehicle stoped, police or anything which user decide) then user can report by one click ,its fast and safe
It help to make fast reports , current situation is user have to make 2/ 3 steps to make report, on busy roads its very useful.3 votes -
I’m retired; I never want to see work appear as a destination choice under home again!
I’ve worked 40 years and I just retired. I love Waze, but I never want to see the word work appear again when I program in a destination and the app will not allow me to delete it and merely leave home showing! I don’t want work to appear as an option, even if its left blank. I want it gone!
It’s a big psychological step to be able to do this, wouldn’t you agree?

Make menu options side-by-side instead of stacked
The current options to respond to a hazard are "Still There" and "Not There" and they are stacked on top of each other, at least on my Apple CarPlay display. When driving, the road is typically bumpy and vertical control of one's finger tip (for touch screens) is harder than horizontal control. Thus, I suggest that the hazard responses be placed side-by-side instead of stacked. I'm guessing that 1 in 5 of my hazard responses is entered incorrectly as I hit the wrong button when trying to enter hazard responses due to my hand bouncing a bit on bumpy roads.

Adding friends
An option to add your friends (from contact list e.g.) and compete with them on a weekly basis (maybe) who will earn more points.
3 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Smart Watch Notifications
It would be greatly beneficial if you all would incorporate a feature that Apple Maps (and Google Maps as well I’m told) has with smart watches. A gentle vibration to alert users to turns or hazards would be a great help. I use WAZE on the highway to alert me to hazards/speed traps, but for city driving, I use Apple Maps. This is specifically for the smart watch notifications

Show the sleep button on all screens.
It’s too hard to scroll back to sleep- map stays on unless it’s disabled and will drain data and power. Make it easier to turn off.

Bring back a professional UI
The new UI is awful. A regression, and this was already a kindergarden kitsch unprofessional UI, now with bad UX too. Bring back Waze 3.x with appropriate updates for new moods and features like the Euro plakette.

Add report button in Waze to mark location to look at later in WME
Add a report button or a togglable on-screen button to mark the current location which then can be viewed later in the Waze Map Editor.
Currently users need to either create a UR or take a screenshot in order to remember the location to look at later in the Waze Map Editor.

Close app on iPhone.
Go back to the old system of closing the app. Like many other people, I use my phone for directions and the recent changes are so annoying that I’m seriously thinking of removing the app. I could live with the annoyance of being automatically connected when I’m in my newer car via apple play - but now this is just backward to close the app via my iPhone.

Revert your recent update
Your recent upgrade has brought my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars.... Did you test this??? Or just release it and cross your fingers. As someone with experience in software upgrades and testing I would have been sacked for the mess now masquerading as Waze. It wasn't broken so Why??

Plan a drive
I'm not happy with the relocation of "Plan a drive." It's way too difficult to get to now and not intuitive any more. Please put it back on the main page.

Issues with new update
There are a number of issues with the new Android Waze update. I think it is obvious that the developers use the app on a large screen. The speed limit and current speed are far too small to read while driving. The circle with the speed in it is about 1/2" in diameter on a 7" screen. The speed text and the speed limit are under 1/4" and are very hard to read.
Also, when in full screen display, if one provides a location to navigate to, Waze shows the command in the dialog box, but does nothing. If one…

WIDGET
PLEASE BRING BACK THE WIDGET FEATURE FOR iOS!! It was so convenient to use before, especially being that majority of people’s phone layouts are set up based on widgets.

Current Update Moves Eyes Off Road
The new version works well with Android Auto Coolwalk, however: navigation buttons (i.e. routes) are now smaller and on the far top right corner, report button is now smaller and black and white instead of big and red. All this causes more eyes of the road, please review. Other than that like the work you're doing. Thanks!

search favourites function
It would be good to be able to perform a search/filter function for your saved favourites. If you have 30+ saved favourites it can be quite difficult to find what you want, a quick search function would be good I think.
