The new version of Waze 4.0 is terrible. The top and bottom banners cover up most of the screen and when a warning comes it shrinks the screen even more. The bubble icons are too small and the car icons are too big. The car icon is pushed too far up the screen. Essentially most of what is displayed is disproportionate which makes for judging distance and location very difficult not like the older version that made great use of unused screen areas so things were not so squished into a smaller area. The changing of the screen according to speed is horrible because I still want to see what is ahead especially when quick multiple turns are involved and not just a large disproportionate view of a colored lane (useless). The contrast and coloring of the numbers and letters make it hard to read. I could go into more details but I don’t want to waste your time.
I would like the choice to go back to the older version (Android) or at least give us users the choice for a “Classic View” similar to what Microsoft offers. If I wanted a generic looking GPS app, I would use a separate GPS. If I was looking to use a GPS that looks like Google maps, I would use Google Maps. The original Waze was unique, the best app I have ever used with great use of screen space, easy to read and navigate. Go ahead and add features but leave the main display, graphics and icons alone!!!
I rely on Waze everyday so Please, Please, Please, Please give me the older version back!!!!
