Ability to increase font size.
Those of us who see distance fine but need reading glasses could use the abolity to increase street name and POI size. It's one if the reasons why I don't use Waze as often as I'd like to.
Many thanks
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

I would recommend making the whole popup window into two buttons - Left side for "not there" and right side for "there". Each side could be highlighted separately to indicate the two halves. I find that I spend a lot of time trying to hit one of the tiny existing buttons while driving.

I fully agree. I am 78 and need larger fonts to read.

+1 Please increase font size for directions and street names.
Also, the speed information is behind another icon on the screen and impossible to read. 7 inch tablet Lenovo. Thank you. -

Agreed, not only the ability to enlarge fonts but change from grey on white background or blue on black background. These are very difficult if not impossible to read for those of us over forty years old! Waze versions should be road tested in various light conditions by folks of different ages. Keep in mind that not everyone uses the newest biggest phone. I use an iPhone 4S and in landscape mode, the upper and lower text bars are essentially unreadable except for the ETA.

The better the screen resolution everything get smaller - fonts, icons etc. Difficult to use with my new tablet.
Need the option to make everything bigger. -

I agree. New update made icons and font way too small.

I figured there has to be a way to change the icon size but found there isn't. How stupid was that? I have the same problem I don't need glasses to drive but if I want to see the icons on the new Waze I have to put on my reading glasses. Can you say "lawsuit". I want the old Waze back

I have been trying this app for a few weeks, and is is great feature wise, but can't say anything good about its ergonomy. Microscopic fonts and icons that I just cannot see while driving and annoying popups then starting the app and all you want to do is enter a destination or see the traffic jam ahead... unfortunately all that makes it useless for me. :(
So please, think that people is driving while using this app, and they may not have good close vision, simplify written texts and let us enlarge fonts and icons!

In my order to use this safely the text size should be adjustable.

The last update was said had "better visibility" but I believe that was a failure. Bigger icons? You made the icon itself smaller and wrapped it in a bubble. All the important text has been made "normal". We don't need the bubble, we needed larger icons! Bring back the old text!
For both of these, it is literally not possible to do anything with the device once you've started driving. Since all text is now so small and the icons all look the same (a bubble), there is no way to glance at the device and know what it is telling you. There is no way to post a hazard or accident or anything unless you've stopped so you can really look at the screen.

Since the new update I find the icons are too small for me to view while driving. Wished I could go back to previous version with larger icons.

I agree... even on 6+ the text is way too small to read...

A simple regular, larger, smaller option seems to be the best idea, based on others wanting it larger. I actually need it smaller. Waze is useless now with the new update, since it connects to my car unit. My display through the car unit is 1/3 the next turn (way too big), 1/3 my ETA (way too big), and 1/3 the map (way too small). If I could change the font, these two that are too large should be fixed.
