Feature Request Feedback
Many of the feature requests have many votes, or multiple postings for the same feature requests. It appears that people really do want some things very much. However, the feature request for some items seems to be un-monitored.
There are a number of issues, which would normally be easily resolved with some minor programming tweaks that never seem to be addressed, either in the responses, or the program revisions.
Example: Favorites sorting - the same general feature request has been posted multiple times with post dates going back to 2010.
It would be helpful to have some feedback to…3 votes -

This-trip-only Navigation Preferences or Warning When Any "Avoid" Option is On
Occasionally a given trip requires selecting "Avoid" options within Navigation Preferences. However, it's easy to forget those options were set, resulting in a convoluted and potentially time-consuming routing the next time Waze is used for a different destination. Suggestion is to provide an upfront Navigation Preferences option for "this trip only" when setting up the trip or when a trip is selected from favorites. An alternate approach to this issue is that whenever a future trip is defined, via favorites, new trip or past trip, the user is alerted if any Navigation "Avoid" settings are ON.

App Improvement
May I suggest to Waze that they:
1) allow people to submit photos of the area in app. Photo submission would clear up problems of trying to write out what you can clearly see as a problem.
2) make it easier for people to know what to click to report errors (I had a hard time finding the report issue one. The first few times, I marked the road as closed but then it would reappear until I finally found this reporting issue)
3) expand the days to resolve an issue with Waze from 8 to perhaps 14 days to…1 vote -
user needs
It seems to me it would be useful (and a good use of Google's AI) to be able to state my "Need" to Waze and have it solve it for me. For example, I would love to be able to say:
1) Me: "Waze, I'm hungry":
2) Waze: "Of the 3 restaurants on your favorites list, I see the most convenient one is along your route in 6 miles, or, further along your route is Restaurant #2. Does one of those sound good ?This would be much more convenient than trying to yell at Siri to find the…

Place custom pins on the map
I like the home and work pin on the map but I want to be able to toggle a pin on or off for ANY location I have saved in my favorites and I want them to show on car play screens as well.

Have a “favorites” section to store names with their addresses so we don’t have to look up the address every time. .
Have a “favorites” section where we can store names with their address to keep from having to add the address every time. I like using Waze even if I know where I’m going because my way may not be the fastest way that day.

Put it back to the way you had it I lost all my favorites you change the whole thing I liked it the way it was before
My idea is put the app back the way you had it with everything separated my favorites the stars the flags you screwed up my whole app. I liked it the way it was. It was easier to use cause all I had to do was going to my favorites and find the one that I needed now I have to go through everything to find the one that I want half of them are missing.

Please make it easier to save favorites
Trying to save a place, even after the help screens is very difficult.

Adding addresses needs to be user friendly
When adding an address to "Favorites" it's almost impossible. Once you type in the address, there is not "Add" button only "Back and "Close". I tried to follow the instructions it says to touch to add and I add the address and nothing happens. Impossible to add "Home" or "Work". Frustrated.

RANDOM DISCONNECTS: Random disconnects that report the phone is no longer connected when it is connected. I use a Samsung S20FE. Disconnecting and reconnecting the high-quality USB cable does not help. To isolate whether the issue is the cable, I've tried multiple cables. They all have the same random disconnect issue.
SCREEN DISPLAY: I've also run into something when the connection is working and I'm using Waze (my favorite GPS app). When I use the right turn signal the screen switches from the GPS display to the side camera, as it should. But when the turn…

Link address from other apps
Most functional Waze yet! Navigation seems spot on and not obtrusive like Google's offering. Main thing is Waze is really accurate! Google Maps loses its way and gets me lost! Like the fresh look of Waze. Loads really fast on Note 4 Marshmallow. Love the send ETA so people I choose can monitor my drive in real time!
Few wish list items and believe me, not trying to turn Waze into Google Maps! So just the essentials..
Could use lane assist.
Need to get links from Yelp, Google Now, and other websites to share the actual destination not unknown street…

Get rid of new hamburger menu icon, put functionality back into search screen
New hamburger menu icon doesn't need to be there. Takes up too much space for rarely used functionality. Put settings and stuff back into the search screen. The idea to move that into a totally new icon was bad.
Want to add something useful to the map?
Add a "favorites" icon where when it opens we can have one-tap reporting for report features I use the most- cops, roadkill, traffic - instead of digging around in the reporting screen.
Also, should be able to EXIT waze by swiping from the right edge a couple times.

Important ideas
I’ve been using Waze for several years now and do a lot of miles with it. There are a few things that could be added to make it even better. First, I would love to see Jeremy Clarkson as a Waze voice, that would be hilarious and highly popular. Second, I know that Uber drivers’ satnav can tell them when the traffic lights are about to change. Having this feature on Waze would be great as nothing else would have it. Third, I am also a delivery driver and am forced to use google maps for navigation as Waze does…

Make it easier to bookmark addresses
Once I see that checkered pin at the end of the route that is planned, I want to be able to click on that and name it and save it as a bookmarked or favorite address. And while you’re at it, I had a **** of a time trying to simply provide this suggestion. It turns out that having an email and password tied to the app doesn’t mean you have an account to log in with here. That is not clear. And even now, once I finally worked that out, I’ve hit the “post idea” button several times and…

Record of all incoming and outgoing notifications for future reference
I would like to see more transparency in the notifications that Waze sends and receives. In particular I would like to be able to access a list of all the notifications that Waze sends automatic to those I am sharing my drive with (eg, eta, delayed arrival etc) for future reference. The same for all those pop-up notification received from people sharing drives with me, sometimes I don't get a changes to read these or dismiss them by mistake without looking. Could I suggest a copy of all communications that are sent and received by Waze are saved to your…

Waze is a great addition to Google but not so the other way round.....google map still is far more superior in terms of features... i.e how impossibly difficult or your overpaid imagination does it take to realized the importance and usefulness of an option displaying all our favorite places at one glance on the map like that in google map?....so now most will need to jungle in and out of two different map apps and let the pedestrians fend for themselves....and nO unlike most of your silicon minimum wages my corolla do not have autopilot like most of your coalpowered…

Add a 2nd Work address
I have two (2) suggestions ......
1. add a 2nd work address. With so many Wazers working two jobs, being able to enter in a 2nd address makes commuting to one or the other or between the two, so much easier. No searching through "Favorites" to find the 2nd address and best route- Have the ability to confirm that it's the passenger wanting to add/alter a location, destination or search. Driving with a passenger down the freeway and having them perform a new search or to add an address still requires the driver to pull over and stop,…
