Add an audio player to the list of compatible apps with Waze
You should add an audio player that can play audio files that are on the phone itself to the list of compatible music apps so you can listen to your own files and recordings while using Waze, not just radio or other broadcasting apps. For example a recording of a lecture from your professor that you have on your phone.

Go back to the old format for alerts. Color & Location
Blue for police, orange for hazards. It's more eye-catching. Having the alerts near the bottom really doesn't catch the eye. Before the change was made I didn't even have to glance at my phone I could see the colors and icon through my peripheral vision

Stop users reporting heavy traffic when at traffic lights
In major cities there is always going to be to be a few cars stacked up at traffic lights. Stop dumb Waze users reporting heavy traffic when they are stopped at traffic lights. It affects the routing of other Waze users. Almost every day I see reports of heavy traffic where there is none just because some moron is reporting heavy traffic when they are sitting behind 2 others cars at traffic lights.

Variable Toll versus Fixed Toll opton
A lot of users want Waze to add additional features for variable tolls but all I am asking for is for Waze to recoginze the difference between fixed tolls and varaible tolls. I've come to the conclusion that Waze is pretty much unusable for my comute from Falls Church to Herndon, VA becuase it either wants to take me on the unaffordable express lanes OR avoid the reasonable Dulles Toll Road.

AskWazersBox - a hybrid reporting tool enhancing Wazers and Map Editors cooperation
As StreetView is often outdated or just does not exist when trying to keep Waze Maps updated with latest road constructions or changes, road configurations/restrictions/speed limits/signs etc. needs to be checked and verified on-spot. There's no chance Waze Map Editors will go and check everything themselves. We have so many Wazers driving around that could help them answering specific questions.
I suggest creating a hybrid reporting tool that would extend existing reporting functionality and help Waze Map Editors gathering specific answers they need directly from Wazers who are on-spot. This would let to keep Waze Maps updated as fast and…

Google based domain fronting for Waze to fight internet censorship
Hi
As you might know Waze is being blocked in different countries including Iran.
It would be great to implement domain fronting techniques for Waze client so people in countries with limited internet access could be able to use Waze without installing third party VPN software.
Messenger App Signal has implemented such techniques and it has been successful so far.https://www.wired.com/2016/12/encryption-app-signal-fights-censorship-clever-workaround/

Botão de Alerta de Burado Mais Fácil
Acredito que o Envio de Alerta "Buraco" seja o mais usado pelos wazer. A frequência de uso no dia é muito alta; sugiro que o Botão "Buraco" tenha um acesso mais rápido, ou seja, ao clicar-se no botão amarelo para enviar um alerta, ele já apareça na primeira página aonde estão: Trânsito, Polícia, Acidente, Perigo...; apareceria também o botão "BURACO". Atualmente é preciso: Botão de Envio de Alerta, Perigo, Em Rota, Buraco. (isso leva tempo, e tira muito a atenção do motorista nesse procedimento).

Spotify voice commands
It's very dangerous that someone has access to Spotify when driving with Waze but can't use voice commands to interact with it. By not implemening voice command compatibility with Spotify, Waze makes it dangerous for drivers to control their music. Compare that to Android auto, which does let you use voice commands to control your music.

English (uk) voice has changed for the worst
Hi- I am a big fan of WAZE. I use it everyday and convert everyone over to it, as well. There is an issue in having with the updated "voices".
The new ENGLISH (UK) does not say the street names as it used to do. This is a problem because now I have to continually take my eyes off road and read the street names on phone. Tonight I MISSED MY MERGE because I was looking down at phone and couldn't merge to the left in time.
The previous ENGLISH (uk) voice would say mileage, direction of turn or merge…

Improve ability to report closures on forks and ramps
When reporting road closures in the Waze client, for each road possible to report as closed, you get an X with an arrow pointed down the path to be closed. The problem is if the arrows overlap, you can only press the top most one. This makes reporting ramp closures or closures at a narrow fork impossible. It would be better if when arrows are overlapping, each press cycled between them.

Need improving favorite / search
I have idea about favorite / search
- Why not let Waze search address from my contact list?
- Why not create folder in favorite? Like Friend, Company, Restaurant, etc.
- When click address on contact, link to Waze instead iPhone's map
That would be great!
20 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Add traffic camera report option for fixed highway cameras
Had traffic camera report option for stationary highway monitoring cameras. These are not red light cameras and these are not speed traps.

bike and pedestrians ahead alert - Alerta de ciclistas e pedestres nas rodovias
Portuguese - Seria muito útil criar um alerta de ciclistas e pedestres que estão transitando nos acostamentos das rodovias. Seria mais util ainda se o Wase pudesse acessar o banco de dados do Strava e automaticamente informasse que há "ciclistas a frente". Certamente os wazers alertariam da existência de ciclistas ou pedestres nas rodovias que representam perigo de atropelamento.

O Waze poderia ter uma opção de evitar locais ou vias perigosas, que são conhecidos por todos ou que a própria comunidade indica.
O Waze poderia ter uma opção de evitar locais ou vias perigosas, que são conhecidos por todos ou que a própria comunidade indica, como, por exemplo, a Avenida Almirante Delamare em São Paulo, onde os carros são abordados ainda em movimento, tanto de dia como de noite. É melhor percorrer um caminho maior do que ser morto!

Please add the ability to search for closest poi to my current route.
If I am already driving using your app, I would like the ability to search for food, a bank, or a coffee shop not too far off my route. You guys already calculate the time off route but if you add my suggestion it would make your app that much better.
20 votesThank you for your valuable feedback. We're pleased to confirm that this suggestion is planned and we appreciate your input as we continue to enhance our product.

Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination...
Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination... Going from city to city there are different routes. I must zoom out to look at the path they take. ...but this app zooms back to my car location as soon as I zoom out. It makes picking the best route a blind guess instead of something better.

Select duration when reporting
When we report something (like in danger category) we should be able to specify the duration. Example, I have reported construction on the road and 1 hour later, it was not there anymore. This site will be in construction for the next month, I would I could set it to show for a while!!!

Push notification regarding traffic on your regular routes
I would like to receive push notifications at predefined times, for instance every morning at 8:00, regarding traffic on my usual route to work as I don't turn on waze for driving routes I know at regular times. Waze could notify me of an accident and display the name of the alternative route, that way I don't even have to open the app.
