    Disable all iPhone notifications while using waze to drive, iPhone notifications are distracting while driving and the driver is sometimes forced to remove the iPhone notifications while they are driving which is very unsafe

  2. Speed up the opening page

    App lacks responsiveness when first open. This has gotten worst over time.

    When open. I want to select or enter location, but WAZE is none responsive “tapping on screen has no effect”. This all happens during initial entry.

  4. bookmarks order alphabetically

    As a Waze user with many bookmarks (over 20), I'd like the option to easily order them alphabetically. Now I do that manually, but I must be careful when adding a new bookmark.

    Having them ordered alphabetically allows me to find them easily.

    2 UI behaviors can be added:
    - a button in the bookmarks list to make a manual alphabetical order
    - a configuration option to have them always ordered alphabetically (and hide the button above)

  5. Stop route button in landscape mode

    Why is there no stop route button in landscape mode? It doesn't seem like to be a wise idea to not have all the same user interfaces as you do in portrait mode.

  6. More set locations

    add the option to add more set destinations that are interchangeable for things like school or a second or third workplace.

    trying to scroll through while driving to have to find my school as my set workplace is inconvenient when i have to also need a workplace but having to scroll through all my past drives to get to my workplace/very common destinations is quite annoying to do while driving or even at a red light

  7. Notification prioritisation

    Sometimes when there is a vehicle stopped near a speed camera, the app will prioritise showing the stopped vehicle over the speed camera. Can we have a setting to allow us to set notification priorities to dictate which notifications are shown ahead of others.

  8. Add thumbnail map when app is minimized

    Please add a thumbnail for directions when the app is minimized. Google Maps has this feature and it's great! Waze directions disappear when the app is minimized.

  9. Phone Charging Indication while navigating with app

    It would be great to have an icon on the map display indicates that your phone is charging or plugged in while navigating with the waze app. There have been several times while driving and my phone was accidentally not correctly seated in the car charging cradle. I was navigating on battery power and the only indication was when I received a low battery warning notification from the phone OS. This can be very inconvenient when going on long drives or a safety concern when in unfamiliar areas or if one is stranded and the phone has no or low…

  10. My "home" and "work" saved addresses used to always be above all other recently used addresses. Why isn't this happening anymore?

    My "home" and "work" saved addresses used to always be above all other recently used addresses. Why isn't this happening anymore? Once I enter any other address, home and work are bumped down. I drive to several places a day, so this is very annoying. And I do NOT go to the office every day.

  11. Exiting Waze should be easier

    I find it very difficult to exit Waze when I want to and am often looking at the screen while driving searching to try and shut it off. The sleep button should be much easier to find from any page. It should be accessible within 2 taps using the same process from every page. Usually I’m scrolling back to a prior screen to hopefully find the button that allows me to exit. Often I leave it running in the background because I can’t find the sleep button from the current display. Please make Sleep Mode accessible from any page within

  12. On Android the "report an issue" isn't available

    I tried to report a freeway entrance closure, but the "tapping of arrows" wasn't working.. when i tried to do it.

    After finding how to report the issue.. i found that the "report an issue" option wasn't an option in settings as described in the response to the Waze support email i sent.

  13. Improve vertical UI on iPhone

    Please fix the vertical user interface on iPhone! It is a complete mess, with large blacked out areas unnecessarily blocking the useful map space, therefore limiting our map vision and app experience, also the shortcuts or pop-ups are difficult to reach/click. Moreover, it doesn’t show a green line when entering part of the road under avg speed radar control. It should be an easy fix, just look at the carplay version, or maybe take ideas from google or apple maps. I am literally switching to other map providers because I have a terrible experience of using waze in vertical mode.

  14. 1-3 physical button for dashboard mounting

    I don’t want to use a screen interface to do my critical input reporting (roadside hazards, police). Nor do I want to use voice, which is messy and impractical when traveling with several people in the car. The ideal solution (IMO) would keep people from shifting their eyes to a screen or using their voice in scenarios where they have multiple people (ie kids!) in the car.

    Instead, I would love to see either Waze offer a programmable hardware button set that we can map the most important actions to the buttons for easy tactile reporting. If Waze doesn’t want…

  15. Waze zoom

    While using Waze on Android Auto, request that the map zoom to remain active when the user uses the + or - zoom function. The + or - zoom button function currently resets to a preset full out view within a few seconds after increasing map zoom and is not maintaining the zoom view the user selects.

  16. New interface changes are super uncomfortable and not user-friendly

    Earlier to zoom out and check the route one needed to press in the bottom right corner. Now you need to tap on the screen, then press top left corner icon first and then zoom out or zoom in still in the right bottom corner. This is not good as you cover the screen with your hand while driving, and then need to make sure you will press the right button when moving all over the screen. Having these actions in the bottom left corner all together would cause much less friction.

    Thank you.

  17. App issue iPad Pro 12.9

    The app doesn’t center the map when I use any sort of split screen on my iPad Pro 12.9. Even when it’s full screen it tends to push everything to the right with any view.
    Please fix I don’t even see where my car icon is sometimes cause it’s off the screen and doesn’t recenter correctly

  18. Large boxes at bottom left and right for "not there" and "still there" options rather than small buttons to make them easier to press

    I often miss the buttons with my finger as they're too small on bumpy roads. Also, enable Google assistant commands "Hey Google, still there" or "hey Google, not there" to save having to press the buttons at all. Much safer whilst driving.

  20. Waze App - Landscape/Horizontal Mode - Time, Mobile Signal & Battery%.

    Hi.

    When you switch from Vertical mode to Horizontal, the time, mobile signal/service and battery % disappears from behind the map.

    It would be great to have this also for this mode so we can see the current time rather than just the ETA alongside the other icons.

    Thanks!
