Voice Search shouldn't require so many taps to work.
The best driving apps are ones that you don't have to touch very often since that takes concentration away from the road. Waze lets you search via tapping the Microphone button but then still requires multiple taps to complete the request.
Current steps:
1) TAP magnifying glass
2) TAP microphone
3) Say name of place to go
4) Look at the screen to see the list of possible suggestions
5a) TAP the location you want if shown, or
5b) TAP the Search button for more results and then TAP the location you want
6) TAP the Go button
7) TAP…14 votes -
"display off" mode
I'm driving a motorbike and I'm generally wazing to update map and / or inform the other wazers about the traffic on the road. So, my phone is in my pocket... It would be great if Waze could do that with the display of my phone off...
4 votesGreat news! Waze works with screen off. Set a route, block your phone, and you’re good to go with voice directions.

alerts without scrolling
The alert system is great, but when you're driving it would be easier to see all buttons on the same screen, with no need for scrolling. When you need to scroll the list to see all icons it makes you lose attention to the road.
Would it be too difficult to add all kind of alerts on the same window?6 votes -
Take a trip with friends/follow me function
Problem: when my friends and I take a trip with more than 1 car, it is difficult to keep both cars on the same route and with the same stops.
Potential solution: the abality to send a link that would sync up our drives to be able to see where they are on the route in real time. If the future route changes, the device that did not initiate the change would be able to accept the change. If either car gets off the shared route, a notification would be sent to both users and the user who is behind…

Notifications should definitely come earlier and more times there is no voice warning, and driving and looking at the app to see the warning
Notifications should definitely come earlier and more times there is no voice warning, and driving and looking at the app to see the warning is very risky. There are positions for cameras that no longer exist, but cannot be deleted in the application. Thanks anyway for the effort and the free app.

Ability to Select HOV Routes in Carplay
Right now, when checking different routes, you cannot select an HOV route in Carplay (they just do not show up). You can still select it in the iOS app, but for some reason the Carplay app won't accept the route when you select it from the app. It requires you to select a route on the Carplay app (which doesn't include the HOV routes).
The only workaround I found is to set the HOV route before you connect to Carplay, but if you update the route during the trip, it loses the HOV route ability unless you disconnect Carplay while…

Add an alert for wildfires in a area and heavy smoke covering the roadway.
This could help unknowing drivers from potentially driving into a dangerous or even life-threatening situation.

Doctor Who Theme (TARDIS icon for driving and TARDIS icon for mood)
I would like a Doctor Who Theme of some sort. I think a TARDIS icon for driving and a TARDIS icon for mood would both be great and popular additions.

BUG: Apple route direction "stack" on phone not updating during drive
When using Apple Carplay, the latest version is NOT updating the text direction "stack" seen on the phone while driving. Previous versions would remove the turns after they've been completed. The only way to get the stack updated is to toggle to road reports then toggle back to the directions on the phone.

Waze is the best driving ap. One problem is that Waze will say that a street it 250 feet away, but it is much closer. So, if I pay attention
Waze is the best driving app. One problem is that Waze will say that a street is 250 feet away, but it's wrong. The street is much closer. I've missed many turns because I went by Waze's foot count. This happens all the time. So now I look for the street, rather than pay attention to Waze's number, which is a little more work. Please figure out how to make Waze more precise so that it correctly tells how many feet away a street is.

Add a “Like” button for Spotify tracks directly from Waze while driving
When using Spotify through Waze, it would be very useful to have a simple “Like” button for the currently playing song.
If a driver likes a song, they could save it to their Spotify Liked Songs directly from Waze, without having to open the Spotify app.
This would significantly reduce driver distraction and improve road safety, as switching between apps and navigating multiple menus while driving can be unsafe.
I believe this small feature would greatly enhance the Spotify integration and the overall driving experience.

Add new sound option for Nav directions. Use sound as opposed to voice.
Another sound option to have a "ding" (or something similar) to notify the driver of upcoming driving actions (turns, exits, etc.) as opposed to Voice Nav is extremely desirable for me. It would be useful in providing the user the ability to still accurately know when to make the correct turns to get to their destination and avoiding the often lengthy voice directions that are often intrusive to consuming content in the car (podcasts, music, etc.) or intrusive to simply having conversation with company.

Love the app last time I suggested you guys some thing you almost instantly had it up and going which would have been the night mode thought of some thing else for you guys since I use you on a regular base and cops are getting bad on using phones while driving let's do like googles famous "ok google" but instead have a feature for Waze for reporting things instead of using our phones while driving "Wakey Waze" would be a kool idea for a catchy way to wake up the app.
Oh and out of curiosity any idea if…
