Thumbs up and down
When you get a notification of a problem/thing on the road, instead of confirming by having to touch your phone, the camera starts up and you can show your real thumbs up (or up and down). That way, you can easily confirm without touching your screen. That way it’s safer and easier, wich can make the wazecommunity even bigger!

Show traffic and reports not only on routes in the recommended route selection screen
When Waze displays available routes, it only shows traffic and warnings along the routes, not near the routes themselves. It would be helpful if it showed traffic and warnings at least near the recommended routes so I could understand why it's sending me down one road rather than another, like Google Maps.

Show only Icons/Alerts next to me
Sometimes when I'm using Waze it shows too many icons/alerts on the screen! why not show these alerts just next to me rather all over the map? Thank you!

Add "mileage countdown" for upcoming points of interest
Allow users to enter in a number of miles as a countdown timer.
For example, if you see a sign that says "next rest area 35 miles ahead", you could enter "35" into the mileage countdown. Then display this on the screen and count it down to zero.
This will allow users to see how many miles until their next point of interest.

View Radio Station Playing
Would be nice to have a top bar showing which radio station I am on/listening to. I use Waze every day! I drive a 19 Subaru Outback (so sorry if this is only applicable to me). But when I plug in my phone and it is up on my screen, I cannot tell which radio station I am on, or what stations I am changing to.

Bring back Shutdown button in swipe-up menu
The recent UI change that removed the Shutdown button from the swipe up menu has a negative impact on the app. The new "hamburger" menu is not useful or well-integrated, and requires too much visual focus to find. The previous UI was more intuitive, and worked better. Please bring it back, so the shutdown button is available in the main swipe-up screen.

Add a wireless OBD2 sensor for additional vehicle safety information
Suggest adding a wireless Bluetooth OBD2 device (BlueDriver or OBDLink MX+) so Waze can access safety features from your vehicle such as:
1. Blind spot warning
2. Accidental lane departure
3. Show when turn signals are on - for those that forget - optional beep after 5 seconds and before my wife says “YOUR BLINKERS ON!!!”
4. Etc.Option - For lane departure and blind spot warning above - when the two are triggered the Waze display or the hud display below could kick in the appropriate mirror camera video (if the vehicle has mirror cameras) so you see the…

Going back to correct reported hazard
Since the fantastic (not sarcasm - I really like the update - for the most part) update after I attempt to report a hazard I’ve noticed if I tap the wrong category or want to back out to the previous screen, it cancels the entire report. Then I’m 1/2 a mile down the road and it doesn’t make sense to do a new report because the location won’t be accurate.
Please PLEASE allow to back out of the category. Forget people saying “too many taps to report” if you keep from changing the location of the options muscle memory…4 votes -
Add town name
It would be great to add the TOWN NAME to the street name at the bottom of the screen. Often times, when travelling long distances, it's unclear what town one is in.

App Freezing
Since the last update, the app just locks up when I try to remove “recent drives”.
I’ve restarted my device but it makes no difference.

"Are you going Home" dialogue box stays on the screen until you cancel it
The "are you going home" dialog box pops up when you're driving and won't time out it forces you to have to cancel it each time. Please set a timer on it so it goes away on its own.

Pollution sign
Hi Dear,
My idea is to add sign for pollution, and the information to be send every month to some Ecological organizations like this one https://www.bgbeactive.org/ .
You can send it to different organizations in different countries or to much you can or display it to the screen.
In Bulgaria we have a big problem with pollution close to the roads :(Have a nice day !

In Australia, average speed zones are shown as a progressive bar on the left hand side of the screen in some states (Queensland), but not in other states (New South Wales). Why?

App issue iPad Pro 12.9
The app doesn’t center the map when I use any sort of split screen on my iPad Pro 12.9. Even when it’s full screen it tends to push everything to the right with any view.

Feature positioning on Map
We should be able to customize the layout of feature access or information displayed on screen. For my phone position it would be helpful to have the Speed Limit information in the bottom right. I also don't use the carpool feature. It would be nice if I could assign that spot to "settings". Or have the Google assistant button there instead. Or be able to move the information display to the top right when in horizontal mode.
Overall allow customization of information display. This will improve safety and enjoyment of the app.
P.s. bring back cookie monster

Routes
When using carplay with Iphone: in oorder to see all the routes, one need to click on the arrow and then a window opens with the initial route already offered, and the request to click again on the screen to see all the routes. The second click on the screen is completely unnecessary because it is clear that if I click the first time to see routes I would like to see all the options (usually 3 ). Maybe you can check its cancellation. Thank you
