  1. Voice reporting, second attempt

    If your voice is not understood for any reason, the waze app just cancels the report and you miss your opportunity to mark a hazard at an accurate location. Instead, if it said "I didn't quite catch that, could you say again?" While retaining the original position marker... I could have another try to enunciate a little better or speak up a little louder to get the report through without having to scramble to try to throw down a manual marker at highway speeds.

  2. Folder for voices

    When you download a voice, it goes to a folder (or even a 2nd app that is a storage/management for voices.) The option to keep voices should happen. I need Gronk back!

    There is nothing worse than finding a voice with a tone that isn't obnoxious. When you do, it is gone a week later. Not to mention, when the new featured voices are also annoying people that you don't want talking to you. (I don't want Jay Leno in my car.)

  4. Allow a longer delay before voice prompts

    When using my iPhone with bluetooth handsfree kit, I miss the first word of each prompt while the kit detects bluetooth audio and mutes my radio in the car. Please increase delay between starting the announcement (or add a selectable option to do so) to overcome this problem.

  5. Yakko Warner from Animaniacs for Waze Voice

    With the recent success of Animaniacs on Hulu, I think it could be a good idea to get Yakko Warner, the most talkative of the Warner Siblings, as a voice option on the Waze app.

  6. Voice instructions don´t work

    Hello,

    We wanted to ask, seeming to Android version 6.0.0 and higher, the sound is not working? (Voice instructions)

    It is impractical to constantly monitor display.

    Please Do you have any solutions?

    Does not work on the new Samsung Galaxy J5 and J5 2016.

    Other functions work perfectly.

  8. WAZE ALLOWS YOU TO REPORT WITH VOICE

    Hello. My boyfriend and I were driving down the road the other day. I saw roadkill and tried reporting it on time but I had to click buttons while driving. I realized if Waze had a voice command option the location of roadkill would be more accurate as well as my safety. Commands such as “report construction” or “report roadkill”. If this idea is used PLEASE give me recognition. I spent hours and hours thinking of this idea! I love the app already though! Thanks for listening.

  9. Voice waveform DESPERATELY needs to by modified

    The voice starts out like a gunshot. Look at your waveform. It shouldn't start with a spike, but I gaurantee it does. It can be shocking. All quiet and then "In one mile, turn left" But it goes from silence to WAAAAY TOOO LOUD way too fast. It is an assault on the ear drum. By modulating the waveform ever so slightly, you could remedy this, but it's been like that as long as I have used Waze. There needs to be a few hundredth of a second of sound buildup so you don't give the driver a heart attack.…

  10. Faster Voice Navigation Cadence

    She speaks much slower than, say, Google Maps navigation. Speeding the prompts' delivery minimizes interruptions to other audio you might be listening to.

  12. Voice activated way to close the app.

    Hi,
    I would love if there was a way to turn off the app or close the app with a voice prompt, or at least an easy button to touch on the main screen of the route page. It's very distracting and dangerous to have to go back a screen and push two little buttons to go into the sleep mode on the app. Please work on this for driver safety reasons. I absolutely love your app but this is a serious issue.

  13. Voice prompt tweak

    If there's a turn or freeway exit coming it prompts at a mile, 1/2 mile, quarter mile which in real time is back to back. While I'm already doing it. If I'm sitting at a light waiting to make a turn it still tells me at least 2 more time to make the turn. I love the Master Chief voice but this app is turning him into a nag. And it interrupts music every time to do so. There should be a tweak for the number of prompts so it's not repetitively telling me to do what I'm already doing.

  15. Waze App - Create Own Preferred Route.

    Hi.

    It would be great, if we could create a Navigation Route based on our own personal drives. I usually (99%) drive the same route many times a week.

    However, the app doesn’t recognise some directions i go and has to recalculate it. If, having the preferred route stored without any recalculating, it be a nice touch.

    Thanks!

  18. James Hetfield of Metallica user voice.

    Hi waze, it would be very cool to have a James Hetfield from Metallica (or with other band members too) voice navigation. The car could be a little guitar. And I can here James already say: « Next stop, turn right. Yeheah! »
    Or Lars saying « Turn left dude! »

    Thank you.
