I agree with all of these comments. There is absolutely no way I will give Waze access to my Contacts!

Deleted.

Uninstalled
No rational reason to require access of contacts
Was a good app

I accidentally shared my contacts last time and EVERY one of them had Waze contact info. I got a new phone and trying to avoid that, but if I click "No" it won't even let me use the program. Lame.

This is a great app. Instead of asking for our info or having pop up ads, just charge a one time fee ($9.99?).

I will not allow access to contacts unless I hear a good reason to do so.

I refuse to provide access to my contacts to your App. This is an unacceptable breach of my privacy
Uninstalling it now.

What's the priority? Me, your human customer, or you, the almighty you? Until this is fixed, I'm out of here. You are killing your own golden goose.

I refuse to provide access to my contacts to your App. This is an unacceptable breach of my privacy. There is no technological reason for this request, and is further evidence of Google's overreaching policies. Time for Regulation.

Access to my contacts and calender is far beyond what I find acceptable. It was useful but not enough.

Can't believe you'd ask us for contact details in the name of "authentication"!? What is that!? bye bye Waze...

Agree allowing Waze to access contacts is bad. No more Waze for me.

Completely agree. I understand the marketing try but should have opt out or skip option.

Won't use as does not need access to my contacts, microphone, photographs etc. Why is Waze / Google play even asking for all this irrelevant information .

Using proper paper maps

For some reason having to re-sign into Waze… Now they want my contact list... No waze...

Stopping use of waze. Got new phone and I cannot use waze at all without giving it access to my contacts which it clearly does not need.

Screw Waze.......... To much information. Social network wrecking time..........

This is vile on waze's part. Not happening. Off to trash it in App Store rating now. No way an app gets all my contacts to use it.

Forget it. Not giving access to my contacts. VERY overreaching on your part.
