Make app usable on iPhone X
Love the Waze app. Been using it for years before it became popular here in Aus. However, app has become choppy and jerky on iPhone X. I know it is an old phone but Google Map and Apple Map's navigation don't even have this issue. Waze app is hard to pan and zoom in zoom out. I actually got lost many times due to this. Can you please make it usable on iPhone X?

june update
Hi,
Could you explain the decision behind the latest update which moved all of the buttons to the far top right corner on the Android Auto/Apple head unit screen. If you're in an American car you have to reach across your entire head unit to hit them. This is dangerous and less intuitive than the previous version that had them in the bottom left (closest to the driver). Very poor decision by the Waze staff.1 vote -

When entering a route that has HOV lanes, it would be helpful if Waze asked how many occupants are in the vehicle. 1, 2, 3+ And utilize the HOV lane where applicable.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Auto North Button
Please give the option to Auto North Adjust the map without using the "Keep map north up" setting.
Same concept as the Re-Center button, but "Re-Rotate" the map view to North Up temporarily.
For example: Apple/Google Maps have a compass icon that you can press to re-rotate your view back to north up.
(It also shows which direction the map is pointed in, which would be nice to have)1 vote -
Waze for golf
Waze should create a version called Playz for golf courses.....you can post how long a hole is taking based on who's ahead of you, whether the greens are fast or slow, if dear or alligators on the hole (yes!). My Garmin golf watch can't tell me ANY of this! Have the PGA sponsor you and they can let fans join in as golfers post updates!

Optimal route calculation - include price (consumption/persons time)
I notices that fastest route is chosen.
I always watch for alternatives if there is a similar time but shorter version.
Wery ofter is similar time (for example 20minutes faster vis highway, 23 minutes via road), but via high way is 30 km, via normal road is 15km. Difference in consumprion is huge, difference in time is acceptable, even if I calculate the price of my time.If you calculate best way based on "price", optimal way will be better.
Solution: calculate price of people time (for example 10USD for an hour) and 0,1 USD for one kilometer. Best price…

Show route turns on landscape and portrait mode
The upcoming turn-by-turn directions would populate in landscape mode not too long ago. Now, it only shows a zoomed out version of the map. Why would anyone not want directions like they do in portrait mode? This was an awful update which caused me to nearly have three accidents in my vehicle without CarPlay. I have had to resort to Apple Maps and google maps because Waze appears to care more about voices and cool features instead of functionality!

Android Auto blocking scrolling
When using Waze over Andoid Auto, it blocks selections until you stop the vehicle. It is rather irritating as it is possible to use Waze if I disconnect from Android Auto, select address on the handset and reconnect, which requires 5x as much distraction.
It is OK to warn to watch the road instead, but it should release the further selection after a while like the phone app.
The most irritating is when I have just reached the desired
address and you mask it with the blocking warning :(
I advise that you unblock the screen after a while (10-15…2 votes -
Allow the app to work without google play services/store/post it on github
As Google will be breaking normal downloading and forcing a lot of android users to use the app store (which is already a pain), and if this happens a lot of users who use android exclusively for the lack of restrictions will move away from android to open source forks which possibly won't even support google services at all...
Please post a version of Waze on github with its own internal services/dependencies! (Similar to how it works on Apple, no?)

CarPlay
CarPlay dashboard navigation mapping is unstable.
Every time I use navigation, the mapping on the dashboard disconnects after a while and shows the message “Please connect Apple CarPlay,” although CarPlay continues to display normally on the central screen. This is definitely not an issue with the phone or the car system, because I tested it in my friend’s car and the problem reappeared.
In addition, the navigation route displayed on the dashboard is too thin, making it difficult to use. I suggest making the route line thicker and more prominent.1 vote -
Alert drivers that a street they are about to take is extremely steep and their car might not make it up.
Alert drivers that a street they are suggesting is extremely steep and that a car might not make it up that steep street. I have recently daily watched cars on a local street in Echo Park using Waze to get around traffic only to be directed up one of the steepest streets in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, unless they have a new car with great tires and transmission many are getting stuck on street on the way up. It is actually funny when I have talked to the people they all say that Waze directed them up this street. I…

addition
If it is possible, it is just a suggestion in order to change the car screen system to something that you can do and it will be a very wonderful program.
First - themes for the program: colors, models of cars and their companies. We can control them within Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Secondly - The speedometer tab has a sporty shape and neat shapes that you can design and they are integrated with the themes that you will make with each car, company and model that has its own meter 💖💖1 vote -
BUG ISSUE - Music Stutters when app is in the background
After updating my iPhone 15 Pro to iOS 18, when I play music through either Spotify or Apple Music while using the Waze app in the car, I've noticed that the music stutters for about 1-2 seconds in the following scenarios:
- Entering the Control Center
- Entering the Notification Center
- Exiting the Waze app while directions are still running in the background
- Tapping on the Dynamic Island
This stuttering issue was not present before the iOS 18 update, and I've found that Google Maps does not exhibit this problem.

Fel i ankomsttid
Hej!
Om jag använder Apple car play så fungerar ankomsttid bra. Dvs jag ser tidpunkt jag kommer fram, hur många minuter det är dit. Så länge det inte är långt kvar. När det blir timmar och tvåsiffrigt antal minuter så tar den bort hur många km det är kvar.Jag har en Volvo XC60 från 2023 där Waze appen är installerad. När jag använder den visas ankomsttid två gånger plus inom om återstående sträcka. Hur lång tid det är kvar får jag räkna ut själv.

Missing the first part of the directions when connected to car bluetooth
With a previous update this started happening in one of my cars. The first audio that came out of the car speakers would be several seconds into the directions so you would hear for instance "turn right". You missed "in 1/4 mile". I just updated to ios14 and my other car is now doing it. It's disappointing Waze has chosen to ignore this issue. I was an early adopter but will be looking to Apple Maps in hopes of not having this issue. Waze is losing one of it's champions.

turn by turn
Hello,
I want to ask you why don’t you have an easy turn-by-turn option like in Tom Tom navigation.

Please enlarge the Font on the maps. With the latest update, they are too small. Also, please restore the OLD icons.
Please enlarge the Font on the maps. With the latest update, they are too small.
Also, please restore the OLD icons. The new ones are a different color and difficult to use.
Also, using Waze inside Android Auto is cumbersome. Can Waze be separated out? I really don't like Android Auto or Apple Car Play. My phone and streaming services worked fine without the overhead. Now, EVERYTHING goes through Car Play or Android Auto - text messages, voice mails, streaming, etc. Just pull Waze OUT and let us run it separately from AA and CP.1 vote -
Improve stability.
Waze app stability with Apple CarPlay needs improvement I have used it for years, but glitches are frustrating.
If a get a phone call while using it, it disables the radio, and I have to reset the source after hanging up.
The customized car icon turns into a blue dot, which remains stationary despite actual movement of my vehicle.
I am Ray Iglesias (Username CaptProvolone56 and have 169,027 points. I started using Google maps a few days ago, which runs smoothly.
I like the Waze app, but not at the above price.1 vote
