About this app

Know what's ahead on the road with the help from other drivers. Waze is a live map that harnesses the local knowledge of tens of millions of drivers around the world. Drivers safely and confidently reach their everyday destinations thanks to Waze map’s GPS navigation, live traffic updates, real-time safety alerts (including roadworks, accidents, crashes, police, potholes and more), and accurate ETAs.

• Even if you know the way, avoid surprises on the road ahead with safety alerts for accidents, crashes, roadworks, objects on the road, potholes, speed bumps, sharp curves, bad weather, emergency vehicles, railway crossings and more
• Steer clear of tickets by knowing where police and red light and speed cameras are located
• Share what’s happening on the road with other drivers by reporting live incidents and hazards
• Stay informed of upcoming speed limit changes, and keep your speedometer in check
• Know which lane to be in with multi-lane guidance
• See toll pricing and choose to avoid tolls along your routes

I am knocking it down to 2 stars as support was completely useless. Also, today a location didn't even come up in the search results. I switched to Google Maps, got the address, but Waze could not locate it by typing or voice. It was giving results over 100 miles away. After speaking the entire address with city and state, it came up, but was the 2nd result with the first not even similar to the correct address. The search function needs a complete overhaul as it's inferior to Google Maps.

what happened Waze? You were a darn good nav app for thr past 10 years until recently. Now, you can't find an address or you just pick a random address that sounds like it. I have been routed to random locations and although I am a navigator, my spouse is not, and I would no longer trust your app to get her there safely. Your notifications have also turned into a nightmare. Not sure what's going on, but I am moving back to Google Maps.

Ever since Google bought Waze, it's been constant bugs. They are intentionally sabotaging this app with bugs to push users to Gmaps. The amount of bugs I experience daily as a delivery driver is impressive. From UI issues (ETA not displaying, screen dark, map randomly changing orientation, destinations not loading properly), to ridiculous pathing (choosing traffic instead of faster alternates, etc.), it just gets worse each update. Guess all the good engineers left.
