Favorites in iOS widget
It would be awesome to see more than just work and home in the iOS widget. I would like to see my favorites listed as well with the same functionality offered for home and work.

Great timing! We’re currently working on including Favorites in the widget. Keep an eye out for updates in your app store.

I already did. Your app is great but this little feature is missing is keeping it from being AMAZING. Please add this feature.

I would like a similar feature, but for a different reason. I usually have my location service turned off, to save battery, so it would be very handy for the widget to show journey times from predefined locations, like Home to Work without the need for GPS. A nice way of selecting the locations would certainly be useful, but how about choosing home to work by default in the morning, and vice versa in the evening?

In addition to Home & Work daily routes, it would be nice to be able to add a 3rd and 4th location. This would display nicely in my iOS widget, which currently displays Home/Work/Other, and has space for 2 more locations.

First of all - new features planned ride is super. I'd like to ask if this feature could get the a widget like widget for ride to home or to work? Widget that will show how much is left to departure with refresh option.

They added notification center support but it only shows home and work. On my iPhone 6 there's room for 2 more favorites. Voting to add favorites to notification center.

In iOS 8 with the ability to have widgets in your notification pull down, It would be great if you could have a select few favourite destinations choices. so one click from the widget opens waze with the destination loaded ready to go with 1 click. That would be amazing. Traffic info to these destination within the widget would be great also.

It'd be great to see estimated commute times and the Commute-o-Meter from home or work to any of your favorites, presented in a list and still with the "click to drive" feature.
I've found the widget to be one of the best improvements/features of Waze so far and use it daily on my commute to and from work. However, some days I'll go from work to the gym or want to see which store in my list of favorites has a quicker travel time. By implementing a list of travel times to all favorites from home or work, users can get a better feel for the commute if the end destination is not home or work.
A particularly good example of the "list" implementation in a widget is the widget for EEBA, a budget aid. One tap on the widget brings up the first stored transaction, which would be a "favorite" in Waze terms, and arrows appear so you can click through different stored transactions. A final tap loads the app for transaction processing, which would be the "click to drive" feature of the current Android widget.
