  1. Bug: Chosen route changes to shortest route after stopping without warning

    I've discovered that if I choose one of the alternate routes (if it is longer), and start navigating that route, if I go off the route and stop, say, for lunch, when I return to Waze it has rerouted to the default shortest route rather than the original alternate I had chosen. In one case I was unaware of this at first and it started taking me in the opposite direction in order to connect to what was (originally) the shortest route, but due to my current location was now a much longer route.

    That or the "shortest route" default…

  3. Please make WAZE directions come over car speakers again.

    My WAZE gave me perfect voice commands on my 2013 Cadillac XTS speakers via my Samsung S4. Now will not come over speakers. Frustrating and dangerous.

  4. Slow, buggy speech when using Bluetooth/Hands Free

    Waze's speech while using bluetooth is filled with long awkward pauses. Often, the speech is unable to complete saying the direction before the next speech event needs to occur. The pauses between speech events are excessively long. This problem only manifests itself when connected to bluetooth audio.

    Additionally, the speech is routed through "media player audio" instead of a voice command specific audio event. This means that the vehicle itself must be set to bluetooth audio music streaming rather than listening to the radio. Since the events turn on/off, the bluetooth media option is often unavailable and cannot be activated.

  5. Don't connect to the speaker when voice is muted

    I like to listen to music streamed via bluetooth from my phone. While running waze, even though I have the spoken navigation disabled, every time directions would've been announced, the music volume dips briefly. It appears that waze is trying to attach to the speaker even though it isn't saying anything. Please have it check for being muted before taking control away from other applications that use the phone's audio.

  6. Crashing issues on Android

    I think waze is great, unfortunately it doesn't work on my new Samsung Galaxy Y Pro B5510. Every time I try to enter a destination or touch just about anything on the screen it crashes.

  8. Waze doesn't automatically navigate

  9. STOP 180° car rotation when standing still

    So I come to a stop light, and after a while, my car and map (not the screen) rotates, I guess, as it thinks I actually did make a U turn. Problem is my speed is 0km/h. It happens even when you have a destination to navigate to, and then, all of u sudden, I'm turned around and I'm being shown to make first to the right. I start driving, the whole thing rotates ones again, and I miss my left turn !?!?! I think it's because it get's a satellite position which shifted a bit, so it thinks that…

  10. Auto-Brightness Bug

    I've uncovered a bug in the iOS version. Somehow, Waze is disabling the auto-brightness feature on my iPhone. I've restored my phone twice now due to this issue, and the last time I did so I installed no other apps other than Waze to see if it would happen again....it did.

    The phone shows that auto brightness is turned on, but it does not function - i.e. it simply stays at whatever brightness it is set to regardless of the ambient light. Couldn't find a place to post the bug on your site, so thought I'd put it here!

    Thanks!!!

  11. Resolve GPRS/EDGE connectivity issue

    Wifi works great, but when I am on road or trying to connect via GPRS, Waze rarely connects. On the web and on the Waze forums itself this issues is litterred numerous times, with various people discovering different ways which made it work for them. None of them, unfortunately worked for me. This means that on road, I have no Waze connectivity for updates. Bad. This should be a critical issue to be put on top priority.

  12. If there’s a road closure acknowledge it and recalculate a route

    I get that you need several people to confirm theres an actual road closure but if I am the first there and I need an alternative route, it keeps sending me back to the closed road.

  13. "Known for having speed traps"

    There are some places, at least in Portugal, that are known for having speed traps occasionally, and, given there's no warning for those speed traps, it would be useful for newcomers

  14. in app volume control not helpful

    We used to be able to adjust the volume with the iphone buttons, but it now seems to force us to go into the app to do this. This is one of the worst changes and has me thinking about leaving the app. When driving I frequently need to adjust the volume (louder car noise on the Hwy, turning radio up, etc), I don’t want to have to navigate in the app to do this while driving.

  15. 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??

  17. Fixed speed camera alert stuck on screen bug

    As soon as I get close to a fixed speed camera the on screen alert for that that appears on the left side of the screen gets stuck there for the whole trip. This is annoying because I can't get alerts for new speed cameras that I encounter during the same trip.
    I'm on Waze 4.89.0.1, Android Auto 8.5.624594
