New option to “add next” addition to “add stop”
Today, we can add a stop before the final destination. Why not all so an option to add a next destination after we arrive at the first destination?

Option to disable new message pop-up
Can you please give users the option to disable the pop-up when opening the app?
Active editors will look at replies to their messages while are editing the map.
Busy editors will reply to dozens of URs every day, and this pop-up is guaranteed to show every single time we open the app.

Obscured vehicle speed
When driving in an average speed trap zone, the vehicle speed is partially obscured by the average speed trap indicator.
ALSO.. when approaching a speed camera while in the zone a banner pops up TOTALLY obscuring the vehicle speed until the camera proximity is passed.
This is a NEW FAULT affecting only average speed zones since a recent update when a banner issue obscuring speed indicator for all speed cameras was resolved
Please resolve this frustrating issue.
Vehicle speed is obscured JUST when you need it most. Thank you !3 votes -
New UI prevents sleep after starting a drive
Sleep button used to be accessible via the bottom left menu. Now it’s inside the top right new UI which is not on screen (not clickable) when a drive is started…
The UI changes need to be better tested for usability because this is frustrating and not needed…3 votes -
Speed trap
When speed trap notification pops up. Tachometer becomes hidden behind the directions element. That makes it impossible to read current speed and also max speed limit. Maybe the possible cause is scaled system UI. I think the speed trap notification could popup small in the corner.

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.

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.

Bring back Shutdown button in swipe-up menu
The recent UI change that removed the Shutdown button from the swipe up menu has a negative impact on the app. The new "hamburger" menu is not useful or well-integrated, and requires too much visual focus to find. The previous UI was more intuitive, and worked better. Please bring it back, so the shutdown button is available in the main swipe-up screen.

Auto cancel the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars
When we use the map and do not choose a destination, the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars at the bottom of the screen - especially in the landscape position - occupy almost half of the screen, which makes it very difficult to read the map. They should disappear after a few seconds and reappear when you touch the screen. I would like to ask you to introduce this minor and very helpful modification.
