iOS app is slow at routing and finding GPS and excess screen coverage
Dear Waze, why have you designed your app so poorly? Surely you realise your users are typically driving a car when they use your app? What does that mean? Clearly they have more important things to do than wait for your stupidly slow app and deal with excess pop ups. So first issue: why duplicate pop ups when i initiate a destination? I’ve already selected my favourite destination (or from a list) and tapped once to select it. I should be routing already by now. Instead i get another pop up covering the entire screen/map (so I can’t see if i should be turning immediately or not). This pop up should either not exist at all or should be tiny 10-20% of screen and map should be immediately visible so i can see where I’m going! Second issue: why when i launch the app does it regularly hang saying ‘waiting for GPS’ for so damn long? No other routing app does this. Sometimes it just hangs for what seems like a minute or more and i miss a turn. Why so slow? You obviously know where i am because the map is correct and has my position on it yet you can’t draw the route straight away like other major routing apps. It’s a damn shame as otherwise i prefer your app for routing but these issues have been annoying me so much since i started using waze i thought it was time i complained so hopefully you can do something about it!
