'Reinstate the button to turn off Waze.' has been merged into this idea

I do not like the new sleep feature! I want to be able to turn waze OFF! Please switch it back

I like the old feature allowing us to turn waze off when we get to our destination, not the sleep mode. Can you please put back the option to turn off waze

    It’s been 4 years and still no feature? There must be a financial reason that they aren’t putting in this feature. Maybe it’s to their advantage to keep track of your location and time after you arrive…

    Totally agree! It is dangerous to have to make multiple steps and have a close view to turn it off quickly.

    Apparently in the recent update, you removed the ability to turn off Waze. Now I have to close my apps in order to close Waze after a completed trip. This is crazy, please reinstate the old ability to shut down Waze from within the app.

    I could not agree more! This is an absolute must!

    I am in need of "turn off" button. When I wish to terminate the waze for any reason, the program continues endlessly. causing me to turn off the Iphone and restart and then deleting the program.

    Great idea. I'd love a "Power Off" icon to appear on the Waze main screen, not just within the Options screen. It would enable me to close the App with one click.

    Previous version had OFF button when you wanted to turn WAZE tacking off. Required only 1 single button press.

    This feature was GREAT! more apps should include an OFF button that shuts down the app.

    The OFF button was replaced with SLEEP which means now 2 buttons must now be pressed to stop the APP. (The sleep button, and the iPhone Home button.)

    There other way was faster and more intuitive. Now I find myself putting waze to sleep, then terminating the app from memory which requires 5 or 6 buttons.

    Why increase number of bottoms user must press while one is in car? And driving? Don't say that you should not be pressing buttons while driving. A) everyone does it. B) I do this at stop lights.

    Thanks

    after we reached to a destination, I always forget to close the application. While I'm moving by walking, the app was still running and drying my battery. we need to turn off the Waze automatically. plus add an option to manually put how much time the Waze need auto turn off it.
