English (uk) voice has changed for the worst
Hi- I am a big fan of WAZE. I use it everyday and convert everyone over to it, as well. There is an issue in having with the updated "voices".
The new ENGLISH (UK) does not say the street names as it used to do. This is a problem because now I have to continually take my eyes off road and read the street names on phone. Tonight I MISSED MY MERGE because I was looking down at phone and couldn't merge to the left in time.
The previous ENGLISH (uk) voice would say mileage, direction of turn or merge and what street. Then it would have a reminder at about .4 mile before turn- then one final reminder right before. That was the most effective and thorough GPS directions I've ever used! That was great! I NEVER HAD TO LOOK DOWN!
Why did it change?
Secondly- I do not like the voice now doing the ENGLISH (uk) at all. It sounds like the same voice that was doing the " Boy Band". It is "sing-songy" and soft. I really dislike it.
Please return the ENGLISH (uk) voice back to how it was originally. Street names, mileage, direction, reminders and NOT that "Boy Band" voice actor.
Thank you for helping this situation.

Please bring back the previous English (UK) male voice. The current version does not say the STREET NAMES in the directions. This causes me to constantly look down at my phone to confirm where I am turning. I actually missed my exit on the freeway a few days ago because of this.
Secondly- the new voice is very soft and "sing-songy" and sounds like the voice that does the Boy Band voice. I find it very annoying. Please bring back the original English UK male voice with STREET NAMES!
Make WAZE my favorite GPS again!
