The favorites system in this app feels extremely limited and unintuitive, making saving and using favorites unnecessarily difficult.

Instead of a proper favorites list, the app relies on a single horizontal bar that requires swiping left and right. This design does not scale: once more than a few locations are saved, finding anything becomes a guessing game.

Fixed locations (Home and Work)

Several locations such as Home and Work are fixed and cannot be customized:
- Names cannot be renamed
- Icons are oversized
- Labels are too long and take up excessive space
- Entries cannot be deleted or reordered

This is especially problematic for students who do not have a fixed Work location. I know where my university is and do not need a permanent work shortcut, yet I am forced to keep it. At the same time, I cannot add the locations I actually need in a clean, usable way.

Real-world use cases

• I have two homes that I regularly navigate to
• I need quick access to family addresses
• My university has multiple buildings in different cities

With the current system, saving 15–20 addresses makes the favorites bar completely unusable. There is no overview, no structure, and no meaningful way to organize anything.

Expected improvements

• A real favorites list, not just a swipeable bar
• A customizable top bar with only the most important favorites
• Full control to rename, reorder, or remove all favorites (including Home and Work)
• Optional folders (Family, Friends, University, Other)
• No forced integration with contacts or calendar

Other navigation apps handle favorites far better. This app’s approach feels outdated and restrictive. Everything else works well, but the favorites system actively discourages saving locations and makes daily navigation harder than necessary. (an example of an app that has really intuitive ui is "here we go"). I just overall preferred waze, but this is like something that makes it almost unusable to me
