Easier to read colors
While navigating, at the top is a black background with white and dark blue font. Seriously? Blue font on a black background? Bright day out and it's nearly impossible to read. The very best and easiest to read colors is a yellow background and black font. The font used needs to be a bit bigger also. The directions at the top can be larger that the map until you get say 1 mile from your turn then the top part should shrink and the map get larger. Who looks at the map that much while driving, they only want to know the next turn. But seriously the blue font on a black background is horrible.

Considering that MULTIPLE people have been complaining about the blue font on black background for YEARS, I can only assume either the Waze staff do not read suggestions or they simply do not care.

PLEASE make the street name WHITE on BLACK at the top of the app ("2 miles...turn right at main street" MAIN STREET is DARK BLUE ON BLACK and almost ENTIRELY invisible I have nearly crashed several times trying to make out what the street name is! Dark blue on black is a TERRIBLE idea there. This MUST absolutely be WHITE FONT on BLACK BACKGROUND...If this isn't fixed soon I will definitely switch to another service, it's really quite dangerous for anyone without 19 year old 20/20 vision.

Switch font size and color of direction (currently blue). The actual direction should be larger and more visible.

Hello
The color should be #007FFF and text #FFFFFF for metropolitan roads and not that it is actually. -

I agree completely with this. The blue on black is terrible. I have to have the passenger read the navigation directions to me. Make it white on black, or customizable.

Agree. The most important information "the change in direction" has all color removed so it hard to see. There is more color in the intersecting routes I should NOT take. This is totally backwards. This update just made the app much less useful. Give me the option to undo this color change please.

This must have been changed recently because I did not have this issue before. The current color scheme during the day uses white for the next turn - this is confusing because most of the background is already white so the turn portion becomes basically invisible - the route appears to jump from one point to another. This is exacerbated by another color scheme issue - the background color of the road name is the same as the color of the route. So a road marker is purple and gets mixed in with the route which is also purple, while the upcoming turn is not visible. I've had numerous situations recently where I cannot understand the next direction due to this. VERY FRUSTRATING. Should I use Google Maps instead?

Great product, love it guys.
Use only white on dark background for street names. Blue on black is not easily readable.
Expand freeway road turns when 0.25 miles away, especially tangential roads
Destination address needs to appear at top of list as recently searched, when changing menus.
Fantastic work guys.

Difficult to read exit info which is the color blue change to yellow or white .
Even a second or two longer to read not good takes my eyes off road
