Thomas UK was the only decent voice capable of speaking street names on the whole app :(.
Please bring restore that voice as a choice. The new one has a sort of a neurotic robotic storm trooper vibe while Thomas was just a regular British guy who calmly gave directions and had some amusing mispronunciations

For the moment at least, I'm using Waze to plan the trip and then turning it off so I don't have to hear the screeching.

What have you done with Thomas UK? He was so warm and friendly; comforting on long drives. Now his tone is tinny, clipped, and cold. It’s as if he doesn’t even care which way I turn! Please bring him back! Thomas is what makes Waze Waze!

I absolutely hate the new UK Thomas voice and thinking about completely turning off waze. He was honestly the only reason I continued to use waze. I've been having that same voice for almost 10 years if not more. Everyone knows that voice we call him Nigel. However since he went away I'm aggravated by this new voice and not what I want to hear.

Yes new Thomas is terrible. Will waze actually listen to its users?

The new is curt, bossy, unpleasant and speaks far too quickly to catch what he even says!! Bring back the old Thomas please!

The original Thomas voice was calm and reassuring. The new hectoring tone is appalling. Please restore the original.

Thomas & Kate are both ******* the ears following the recent update. Please remedy as soon as possible.

HATE the new, too rapid Thomas voice. Please bring back the old one, or give us a way to slow him down.

The new Thomas and Kate seem to be dumbed-down versions. They are both terrible.but we have no other UK options if we want street names.

Please bring back original UK Thomas. The new one talks too fast and isn't Brit enough!

Without the original Thomas, I can't tell if there's an awwwwwwbject in the road! Seriously, I agree with the other's comments. Please bring back the original Thomas.

The voice is now too rushed to process and understand. It stresses me out to the point that I'm afraid to drive in unknown areas. It was perfect before. Like a friendly companion.

When driving somewhere that is unknown to you, it is quite stressful as you need to make sure that you are are in the correct lanes ahead of time and also with today's drivers not having much patience, this makes the experience much more worse and stressful. But before the Thomas (UK) voice used to be at a decent speed and clear now comes on quickly and at a rushed speed and cannot take in the instruction that the voice has just given to you as it's too abrupt and fast.

Please can you return the original Thomas (UK) voice or at least have the two options for the previous and the new voice to be able to choose from. As the new voice is not fit for purpose.

Yes, I just came to ask for this - at least let us choose! I feel like he's bullying me now, I want my Thomas back!!

Yes, I hate the new version so much. It now sounds like someone who is annoyed and hates his job.

The Thomas voice was such a calming benefit of Waze in the midst of traffic and navigation hassles. New Thomas sounds ****** and bothered. Please bring back our dear UK Thomas.

Tom, come back! THOMAS sounds like a machine, I hate his accent and his quick robot voice. I may as well use google maps and its silly cardinal directions. 😥. How can there be so many US accents and only 4 UK - only 2 of which can use street names. 😡

Bring back TOM

Please bring back the "Tom" voice. Jane mispronounces streets, and at times she is very difficult to understand. The Tom voice was articulate. Not sure why you discontinued this voice. A contract expired? Hey, pay him whatever he wants and get him back please.
