    Agreed! They’d be awesome. We can’t make any promises, but we’ll share your idea with the team. And in the meantime, make sure you check out the “My Waze” section of your app for the latest limited edition themes!

  2. Country-based voices sorting

    Why do users have to scroll an incredibly long list to choose which voice should guide them? How many users frequently use another language for their voices in the client?
    Let's make the list country-based or, at least, configurable.

    For example: I'm Italian, I would like to have the three ITA voices on top of the list, but maybe you can't change the list based on positioning, so let give me the opportunity to sort my favourite voices manually on top!

  3. Voice-over lady comments have to end!!!!

    The voice-over ladies comments are absolutely annoying when you travel across country or just in our city...just stick to the facts without all the other quirky comments she makes. I.e...police ahead....don't need to include "and that is all I have to say about that!' PLEASE STOP THIS ANNOYANCE IMMEDIATELY. We don't need her commentary.

  4. Simple Voice Commands To Respond to Alerts or Hazards

    Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...

    Problem: It is a dangerous practice to interact with screens and mobile devices while driving a vehicle. In response to safety concerns, laws are increasingly being put in place prohibiting interacting with screens (touching devices) while driving. Some simple voice commands would enable meaningful interaction with Waze in this situation.

    Possible Solutions:
    1) Only while an alert is displayed, enable very simple voice commands to improve the quality of alert (hazard warnings), for example 'Still there' or 'Gone'.
    2) If/when…

  6. Improve ways to report your own hazard in your vehicle

    , slow moving vehicle option for yourself when you are having your own hazard. We had a problem on the New Jersey Turnpike where are trailer that our boat was sitting on was breaking so we had to drive 10 to 15 miles an hour to get safely to the next exit. I wanted to post slow moving vehicle as a hazard but there was no option. So I kept posting Hazard on the road vehicle on the road and then I typed in slow-moving vehicle. And I kept doing that every mile or so then Waze wanted to flag…

  7. Voice reporting

    It's dangerous to take your eyes off the road to tap the phone. Simple, single word utterances could be made for each button on the screen so reporting could be both timely, and safe.

  8. Fix the voice commands when using Android Auto.

    Waze used to have a lot of voice commands that kept one from physically interacting with the APP. Since Google bought Waze, this no longer works.

    Fix this. It is dangerous for me to have to physically interact with the app while driving.

  9. Fix the voice of Sara

    I use the voice of Sara to navigate. I go on rt8 north from Ansonia ct to Seymore CT. befor I get on rt8 Sara says WAKELY st as it should be pronounced but when I get off exit 22 she pronounces WAKELY as WACKLY. WACKLY is not a street, road or ave in that area. On the screen it clearly says WAKELY when she says WACKLY.
    She pronounces WAKELEE as WAKELEE but she pronounces WAKELY as WACKLY. There is no WACKLY.
    Can you please fix this soon???

  10. Make navigation intuitive - have the navigation voice speak from the direction of the next turn.

    Do you ever get confused with left and right?

    My wife does, causing panic when she takes both hands off the wheel to for the "L" with both hands.

    The solution, and also a darn cool feature, is to have the navigation voice "move towards" the junction you going to turn off on as you approach it, using stereo.

    Problem solved - just follow the voice!

  11. Voice alerts only for red light cameras and railroad crossings

    Voice alerts only for railroad crossings and red light cameras. It is very annoying to have to hit the close button in order to see the map every time you hit a railroad crossing or red light camera. Especially now that red light cameras are popping up constantly. Having to hit the button is distracting.

  12. CATALAN voice is horrible.

    eng: It sounds like an englishman which doesn't know enough the language.
    Really unbearable. Almost any TTS is better than this one.
    cat: Sona com si parlés un britànic que no sap l'idioma del tot. Alguna pronunciació és patètica. Qualsevol veu sintetitzada és millor

  13. The timing of voice alerts when taking turns and the option to add multiple stops.

    It would be better if the voice alerts atleast 80-100 meters in advance of turns, so that it will be easier for the drivers to take their respective lanes accordingly, and if add self arranged/organised mutiple stops it will be much better for drivers and delivery partners

  14. Calculate ETA based on own average speed

    ETA calculation seems to be based on traffic conditions and general average speed. ETA calculation seems to be inaccurate when driving below the average speed of the road-segment as it keeps increasing while driving with constant (low) speed.

    It would be great if ETA calculation would also be accurate for vehicles going below average speeds (e.g. trucks in europe etc.)

  16. Voice warn Payment zone, Clean Air zone or low emission zone

    Payment zones, A Voice warning when selecting from a list e.g. a coffee shop in zone, or when driving towards a payment zone. So that drivers could avoid it or if driving through it they would know an online payment is due later online. Sometimes zone signs are difficult to see when foggy or at night if road is busy. The voice warning would help drivers.

    Not right now  ·  AdminWaze Team (Admin) (Admin, Waze) responded

    Thank you for your suggestion!
    As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
    We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
    You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.

    We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!

    Want to try another voice?

    Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
    Tap Voice & sound.
    Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use.

  20. Voice/audio command instances & timing

    The timing of the audible commands should be perfectly consistent. I drive a semi thru all 48 states and sometimes it seems like the audible voice command forgets or seems to pick and choose when to tell me the next instruction, and I would like to not have to mess with my phone while driving to pull the wave app back on screen if it isn't already, read the instruction, and navigate the onscreen map to see where to turn while in heavy traffic on urban roads/hwys I'm unfamiliar with trying not to miss my turn. Sometimes, it'll announce 300…
