  1. Get rid of ads

    Give me the option to pay to get rid of the ads. They are annoying and in the way. They have caused me to miss turns

  2. Voice ads instead of popping ads that would block the navigation screen.

    Hi Waze team, have an idea/suggestion...

    Instead of popping out ads during users’ navigation, why not let the Voice Direction narrate the ads? So it would be a voice ad, like in the fm radio. And you can also add a cute lil “go-to” button on the navigation screen so users can tap on it and gets navigated to the shop/advertiser if applicable and necessary.

    Reason being is; when you pop out ads while users are navigating, typically it would block the navigation screen, and users would just:
    - either ignore with hopes that the ad would go away quickly…

  3. Smartwatch support: Would love to be able to get alerts such as police by my watch vibrating, so I don't miss any alerts.

    I'd love to get alerts on my smartwatch so I can get alerts in a more discreet way.

    Thank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding support for Watches or other wearable devices.
    Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram.

  4. Need the ability to note that some roads are private and closed to the public.

    I live on a single lane, private road that is very dangerous. Unfortunately, Waze directs drivers to use my road when there is traffic backed up on the state highway that is adjacent to my road. I would like this road to be noted as "closed to public" (i.e. non-authorized traffic) on the Waze live map.

    This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.

  6. Display speed limit on Radars

    Showing the pop-up when approaching a radar, show the speed limit assigned to the radar.

  7. Allow users to flag Other Side when indicating Police, Hazard and Traffic Jam, just the way we can do for Accident indications

    When you indicate an accident, you have an option to indicate the position on the other side or the road (on a two-way road). It would be nice if you could do the same for traffic jam, police and hazard reports. Don't you agree?

  8. Use the internal camera in powerfull smartphones to automatic scan for speed limits signs

    Use the internal camera in powerfull smartphones to automatic scan for speed limits signs and show them in waze and also add this speedlimits automatic to the database for all other users. This could help to add more actual speed infos in waze.

    Speed limits are added by editors by means of Waze Map Editor. Using phone cameras to detect limits on the fly would be a feature complex to implement and unreliable to use given the circumstances.

  9. Take a break

    For long journeys. I know us car drivers don't need to log our hours, some people need reminding to take a break. Maybe after 2 or 3 hours Waze could suggest you take a break.

    Keep people alert and safe

    As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional so they are only available for a limited time.
    You can use these for the length of the promotion.
    We currently don’t offer a paid version of app voices.

    We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!

    Want to try another voice?

    Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
    Tap Voice & sound.
    Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use.

  11. When reporting a hazard the update does not allow to specify on the other side of the road, like it used to. LOVE THE APP.

    Can the "Other side" be added when reporting a hazard? Used ot be able to report a truck on the other side of the road. Cant do that anymore.
    I have turned many people on to Waze. Great app!!!!! thanks for all the WAZE team does.

  15. private roads

    Add an option like "Allow only private roads I have driven" or "Allow only private roads in my address book" so that Waze will avoid private rounds for which a user is not authorized.

  17. Why can't it show direction of an alert. I hate having an alert only to find it on the other side of the interstate!

    Today was my first time using Waze....what a bother to be preparing for a slow down, construction, accident whatever, only to get "there" and discover the hazard on the other side of the interstate......Could we get a "North, South, East, West" with the hazard so we could know if we were actually coming up to it or not?????

  18. Add "Disabled Vehicle" to Windows Phone version

    I have an Android phone at work, and a Windows Phone at home. I use Waze on both as a single user. I was navigating home on Sunday when I watched a vehicle become disabled next to me at a traffic light. Being the good Wazer that I am, I immediately opened my Waze app and pressed on the "REPORT" icon. On my work (Android) phone under "HAZARD", there is an option to identify "Vehicle Stopped". On my Home (Windows) phone version, that option is completing missing. How did this get left off???? Could someone at Waze add it as…

  19. The WP app needs to be updated. Make functional: additional voices, Facebook/friends feature, landscape view.

    The app is great on other devices, but is in need of refinement on WP 8.1. The app does not properly download additional guidance voices (on Terry Crews it stayed at 0 percent for weeks), the social/friends link just goes back to the main Waze screen, the app is locked in vertical position--which is not optimal; and the gas feature (including reporting) doesn't work at all. Ideally, this app should mirror the other devices in terms of functionality--it would be heads and shoulders above the default "Here" app.
