I would love to see Waze on the Samsung Gear S3.
As far as I can tell, the Gear S3 can be purchased with a Data plan via AT&T, so theoretically it would be possible to use Waze on a smart watch with both GPS and Data. I would absolutely pay for a smartwatch version of your app, as would many other people! Having my phone out to use Waze when commuting daily is a bit cumbersome, but using it on a smart watch just to keep an eye out for traffic / police would make me use it every time I step foot in my car. I truly hope you…

We are currently not planning on adding Samsung Gear support.

Regular commute notification
Like most of people, I have a regular work schedule, my commute to work is always the same time and route. I do not have to check my navigation app every morning, but when something unusual happens on my route, I think I should be notified.
Most of us are using navigation apps when traveling, or going somewhere for the first time. But most of our driving time is commuting to work. We should be able to program our commuting times and routes in these apps for whatever schedule we have. If we are driving fide days a week from…

Integrate TTS in Catalan for speed camera alerts / Integrar TTS en català per a les alertes de càmeres de velocitat
My suggestion is for the following feature:
Enable Catalan for speed camera alerts
My suggestion solves this problem:
Fix the issue where, when the app is set to Catalan, the TTS alerts are heard in other languages.
In more words:
When you have a language set in your app, you expect all features to be in your selected languageLa meva suggerència és per a la següent funció:
Activar el català per a les alertes de càmeres de velocitat.

Stop changing language when you cross the border
I don't know if it's my phone or waze, but I'm taking a trip around Europe and every time I cross a border the voice commands change language. And it's not even the language of the country, I'm in Italy now and it switched to French. My native tongue is Dutch but I'm from Belgium so I speak a bit of French but it would still be nice just to keep the language I selected.

add friend by username
I would like to add friends by their waze username. As a long time adapter of waze, I always found it odd that I couldn't add friends by username. WIth social media being so open, there are still users who feel waze does not need to know their phone number and shares the drive just fine through email and text messages. It is unfair to only allow people to connect by giving up personal information or using social media. A person's location is private information and should be allowed a more private way to share it if needed.

Hardware needed!!
Why don't you create a hardware for this amazing software? It would be great to have my nav systems ready when I get into my car, so don't have to put my phone on the holder every time I drive...

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.

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.

Have Waze automatically detect your speed on major roads
I drive the same busy highway every morning (I-64) here in the Hampton Roads of Virginia. A major section of it is under construction. Instead of passengers and/or drivers taking their eyes off the road to manually enter moderate/heavy/standstill traffic, it would be nice for Waze to automatically detect it and publish it to the map since there are enough people using Waze in this area. I'm sure an algorithm can be written that can detect Wazers within a 1-5 mile radius that are traveling at a particular speed and be able to automatically display the 'traffic speed' for a…

Display number of Waze users ahead of you on the same road.
This will give the Waze user an indication on the quality of the time sensitive Police/Crash/Hazard/Camera information.
It gives me a comfortable feeling when there are no reports on my current road and I see that there are 5 users ahead of me.
In this image you can see they already do it in the flitsmeister.nl app: https://photos.app.goo.gl/X293cQGSuz4VNxxe83 votes -

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 -

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.

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.
