When black alerts at the bottom of the phone screen don't disappear after user input. And then they block user input
When black alerts at the bottom of the phone screen don't disappear after user input. And then they block user input. Getting frustrated that I may need to use a different app.

Using voice commands to report on issues on the road
Would it be possible to report on traffic jams and other road dangers etc. via voice command instead of having to tap them on the screen? A voice command can be made much faster and is less distracting than the current way where you have look what to enter on the phone screen.

Swap the remaining time and distance on the bottom of the display (or make remaining time optional)
I drive an electric car, so remaining distance is important for me, but when I use waze in split screen mode, only the remaining time is visible.
It would be nice if I wouldn't need to enlarge the screen when I want to see the distance to destination.4 votes -
Saved places on web interface or import
It would be great to have a way to add/edit saved places from the web interface or to have some form of importing them.
In case you have to add/edit more places, it’s easier with an actual keyboard and a big screen instead of the phone screen.6 votes -
When using Waze on an Ipad Air 4th gen in splitscreen with another app like Spotify the map doesn’t center itself with the new screen size
When using Waze on an Ipad Air 4th gen (or other devices) in splitscreen with another app like Spotify the map doesn’t center itself with the new screen size. It stays oriented to the right and you can barely see the car, would be great if it could adapt to the new screen size while multitasking!

how about shortcuts for locations
IIt would be nice if we could set shortcuts for locations on the device desktop screen. Just a quicker way to use WAZE.

Additional fields in Tollbooth hazard
It would be great to add some fields to Tollbooth hazard like "name", "price" and "payment methods", so that Waze can warn (on screen and TTS) about the next toll on the Wazer route and, at least, its name and price.

Bring back the old speedometer position (bottom left corner)
With the latest update, the speedometer on the mobile app has moved from the bottom left corner to the center of the bottom edge of the screen. This new position is distracting and interferes with map visibility, especially when checking upcoming turns or traffic info.
The previous placement in the bottom left corner was much more intuitive and out of the way. Please consider giving users the option to choose the speedometer position, or revert it back to where it was.

When pressing on the screen to highlight a specific place, road / point of interest. The option to log a hazzard, danger etc, whilst drivng
Whist driving, due to a variety of reasons, it's not always possible to log a hazzard on the road, like a tie-down strap that fell off a truck in front of me today. I thought I could simply report the issue, but I lost my connection and instead pushed on the screen where the tie-down strap was, hoping there was an additional option, so once it was safe to pull over,, I would be able to log it, so as of when I re-established Internet connection, the hazzard would be shared with other waze'ers.
But alas there was no feature,…

Android Auto Coolwalk View Tile
I was happy to see that Waze could now do split screen on Android Auto. My only feedback so far is if you are using Waze for navigation the "next step" at the top and the estimated ETA at the bottom take up a big portion of the screen. The next step at the top covers the up coming route. On the full screen you are still able to see the route ahead and any upcoming issues. When using the split screen view in Coolwalk before setting a destination the top right quarter of my screen defaulted to quick…

Allow swipe to close notifications.
When a notification appears on the Waze client, there's an "X" on the top-right corner to close it. The close button also has an auto-timer, which is fine.
However, while driving it is hard to tap the exact location of the "X" and often i tap on another nearby portion of the screen, which only causes the display to change. And waiting for the timer is not always practical (i only need 3-5 seconds to read a notification, not up to 15 seconds!).
So instead (or additionally)... why not have the notifications close by simply swiping them off the …

Can we make inputs from the radio screen? It is distracting to have to reach for the phone to clear the pop up windows.
Can we make inputs from the radio screen? I find it distracting to have to reach for the phone to clear the pop up windows.

On the car screen the Exit Route Button is on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Exit Route Button on in car screen is located on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Also the same for the button used to report things on the road.
The less time a driver looks away from the road the better, and looking and reaching farther away is never a good thing.

Police and Accident indicator easy access for Car Play
For Car Play, instead of digging through the menu for the police or accident indicator (unsafe/distracting), based on screen size (or configurable), need those buttons on main screen instead. These are the 2 best features, and will make it easier for users to report with little overhead and improve Waze as a tool.

Setting a starting point on the Waze app should be ridiculously easy and staring you right in the face on the first screen you see. It's not
Setting a starting point on the Waze app should be ridiculously easy and staring you right in the face on the first screen you see. Why does it not? The fact that there are 3rd party message boards all over the web discussing the frustration should be a clue to the Waze team.

Zoom level resets after waze shows alerts while stopped
If I'm driving and set my zoom at a certain level and stop, waze shows nearby alerts... great! But when I drive again my zoom level is not what I've set it at. Also, please make the app show the alert on the side of the screen and put the pinpointed alert on the other side while in landscape mode. Sometimes an alert is useless without seeing it and currently the warning covers the map!
