  1. Android Auto update hurts the eyes

    The new updated look for Waze Android Auto is a massive downgrade. The black contrast during the day strains the eyes and takes up a lot of space on the display. The decreased size of highway sign numbers, speedometer indicator, and speed limit indicators are very hard to read. Waze has been my primary navigation app for 5+ years but the switch is so hard to use, it has me going to Google Maps but I miss Waze. Please give an option to revert back, or please make some adjustments.

  8. Accident alert

    If something happened to a driver and it was an accident, Waze should detect the drastic "Stop" of the driver and after that if in th next 5-10 second no movements are done, should pop up a message asking the driver if he was in an accident, if the driver doesn't answer in 20-25 second, the "Alert" should appear on the map alerting the near user of Waze. What do you think?

  10. Flip phone support

    Hello guys, any chance you can add support for the Samsung z flip?

    With Google maps and other apps, when you fold the phone it puts the map on half the screen.

    I really want to use this app and sack off the usless Google maps but I fold my phone to fit on my dash and this hasn't got the capability of working folded.

    Look forward to trying the app while driving

    Kind regards

  12. Increase visibility area in landscape mode.

    While using waze on my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3), the device is on its side. I like to see the map in landscape mode. With the new update (version 4.0.0.2 installed) any warnings and the display of the names of streets COVERS a big part of the map. I suggest to enlarge the área of the map shown in landscape mode for smartphones at least.

  13. Waze should seamlessly go between offline and online when cell data weakens or stops navigating. It should be perfectly synchronized.

    We should be completely seamless, allowing off-line and online to function without the user seeing any difference. This would allow 100% perfect navigation any time anywhere without having to worry about missing a turn being sent on a hiatus and keep you always going in the right direction.. this feature is absolutely necessary on long trips and places where there’s no cell reception so that you always have the route running and never have to worry about a pause because off-line mode has been initiated and you just continue on your way without seeing any difference in your screen this…

  16. Brackground

    As all iPhone users know, each time you make a call or use the maps application, and you exit the application to go see something else, the iOS will display on the top of the screen a colored bar showing that the process on the app you exited is still going; and by just touching that part of the screen it will return back to that app to whatever is doing (calling, following a route, etc) this is a helpful suggestion because while driving you want to have your eyes on the road and not on your phone trying to…

  18. Preview next turn on map

    Please allow me to view my next turn on the map.

    I can view all future turns by tapping the next turn at the top of navigation screen, then tapping any turn to preview it. But the NEXT turn does not behave this way. Instead, it acts as a toggle to view all upcoming turns or not.

    How can I see my next turn on the map?

  19. Remove permanent "where to" and "my Waze" fields when phone is horizontal.

    I use Waze with my phone in a horizontal/landscape position. All is good if I set a location target and use Waze to guide me to it. But I sometimes I like to see the traffick volume without setting a destination. In this mode, Waze takes up a third of my map display with the "where to" and "my Waze" fields. I should be able to turn those off or they should auto disappear.
