The app has camera access but throws an error, "Can't save photo | camera doesn't have access to save to this location" when attempting to add photos to reports & locations.
Is this a known issue / is there a fix?

work on the road with new speed limit
3) each work on the road (construction site) always has a different speed limit (there is a speed reduction and ... often a speed camera nearby): the wazer must be able to easily enter the new speed limit.

Password Complexity
I would like to be able to use a more complex password. Currently, only three complexity levels are allowed: A, a, and 0-9. This security level is far too vulnerable given the sensitive information with in the app, eg addresses, phone numbers, etc. Please consider allowing several different character useage like punctuation, special characters, ASCII, ect. The modification should not be too difficult. Instead of defining what is allowed in the string just define the string to accept anything with the exception of min-max number of characters.

UR - add screenshot option
On a daily basis, users report some map issues (lacking precision) that we could not verify just by the UpdateRequest data in WME, or they just do not remember/know the names of the streets/landmarks to help us find and solve the issue. Most of the times, we, the editors, need to search a lot for things that could be indicated inside of Waze, without using third parties for posting photos and screenshots like imgur.com, Facebook, or our personal contact pages/phone numbers/emails.
A button for adding a screenshot could be useful somewhere in the message notification screen.

Horse-riding
It would be great if you could mark yourself as a slow-moving hazard for other Wazers to be alerted to on their screens as they drive.
Imagine you are riding a horse on a narrow country lane. Considerate drivers slow right down when passing riders on horseback to avoid spooking the horses.
If you could declare yourself a rider on horseback, and had your phone with you then other Waze users could be alerted to your presence well before rounding the very last corner and needing to brake suddenly.
This could reduce accidents between horses and cars.

What makes a mobile app development company in Houston a better choice than outsourcing overseas?
Choosing a mobile app development company in Houston over an overseas vendor comes down to better communication, cultural alignment, and long-term accountability. Local development firms operate in the same time zone, which eliminates delays in feedback loops and supports faster iterations — critical for building and refining complex mobile applications.
A Houston-based company also brings a deeper understanding of local market behavior, user preferences, and compliance requirements. Whether you're building an app for retail, healthcare, or logistics, a team rooted in Houston can tailor solutions to meet both industry and regional needs more accurately than a remote team working without…

Pin drop report function
EVERY time I have seen a cop I haven't used the Report feature because I'm a mile away by the time I report. Then the report is inaccurate and useless for everyone else.
Make it so I can drive by the cop and then pull out my phone and place a pin on the location wjere the report should actually be. I understand your worried about people abusing and reporting thing across town so then only allow someone to report and pin drop something within 1/5mile?21 votes -

User selected audio announcements
It'd be nice to be able to select what audio announcements are made. For example, not getting "candy" audio announcements, or http://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-client-how-can-we-improve-waze-on-your-phone-/suggestions/2359957-privacy-zone-stop-reporting-near-home-work-?ref=title

LIVE Number plate scanner, last known position of police vehicles.
A button to enable the camera to scan and track known number plates of police vehicles (possibly other wazers).
This can have a refresh time of say 10 sec and shows the next known position or simulate the police vehicle movement on the map. It just disappears when it loses the tracking but notifies users of recent police presence if you enter a road that had police vehicle on it in the last minute or so or within a certain distance.

Lockscreen Route View
After using the new maps on iOS 6 I could only come up with a little amount of good new features the maps app has. The most helpful one is that the route you are following is displayed on our lock screen, so you can lock your cellphone to avoid people to use your phone while using the gps to get to a please, and also to save some battery. So adding this feature of showing the route on the iPhone would be a great idea, just by the fact that on the road you want to have…

Waze for Car Play
It would be nice to see Waze integrated into Car Play so it's easier to see while driving instead of looking down at the phone.

Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay
Often what we find is that most people are reporting the same thing over and over. For example vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead or police. Having a couple of customizable icon areas on screen would not only streamline this experience but add to the overall safety.
Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay / Android auto.

Disable face proximity sensor.
The face proximity sensor is enabled. Since I place my iPhone in the console of my vehicle, every time I move my hand down to perform an action, the display goes black. I have to gingerly reposition my hand before I can do anything.
I suggest disabling the face proximity sensor while in an operational mode. If necessary, you can enable it right before going to a phone call (if not speakerphone).
