World Waze Reviews 

Thanks to Waze, I was routed last night through a series of prohibited streets, some with concrete exit [but not entry] blocks. I had ZTL from hotel in Napoli Centro but Waze ran me through this hideous maze of unlit one lane wide "streets".
Next morning, Waze to Napoli Aeroporto, Waze routed me to a literal concrete wall on the north side of airport. Had to drive completely around airport, more one lane roads, to reach the terminal.
Thanks Suchar Pichai!

(Is there worse than a 1 star?)

OMW home from work tired, exhausted and hungry, Waze gave me an ETA of a 25 min drive (the usual over optimistic eta). I live on Miami Beach. There are three bridges which I can use to get home. The third and last bridge is the one that leads straight to my building, however the first two exits can also be used. Waze, being the incredibly asinine and useless app that it is and designed by troglodytes, waited until I was merely a few hundred meters away from my usual exit to indicate on the screen (I'm using waze on a double din stereo display) that there is the following on the road: Construction on the road, heavy traffic, an accident, and multiple police. All of this was entered by other waze users a while before I got anywhere near that area. Somehow, this profoundly stupid app failed to notify me about ANYTHING. It wasn't until I was a half-mile from the exit that the app announced that there was construction on the road. After sitting in traffic for nearly 20 minutes, I finally realized that the exit to the bridge was closed off. Not one person, not one cop, not a single construction person, no signs, nothing, indicated that the exit was closed. Now, I will say that living in Miami is a miserable experience. Most of the people here are lazy and stupid. There's an electronic sign on the road, but the Neanderthals running miami highway system simply put "closures ahead." So since I was sitting in traffic anyway, I told waze that the exit was shut down. I entered it into the system TWICE.
LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY: Even though I told this stupid app that the exit was closed off due to construction, even though multiple waze users listed that there was cops, construction, traffic, etc. THIS STUPID APP STILL TOLD ME TO TAKE THE EXIT!!!! Do you understand what I'm saying. The app showed an impossible ETA of about 8 minutes and ignored any data it displayed on the screen. I swear this stupid app often thinks I'm in a helicopter flying above the road!!! I was forced to drive several miles further. Because the “geniuses” behind FDOT closed off all but a couple lanes on the highways as well as the exits, I had to drive for another half-hour north in traffic (yet waze kept telling me to take the exits that were all closed off). Finally when I reached the end of the construction I was able to exit. Here's the thing, waze was telling me to go BACK ON THE HIGHWAY to drive back to that same bridge that was closed.. This app is awful. This app is useless. Last week, on my way home from some errands, I tried using waze to give me options to go home. It immediately told me to drive in the opposite direction of my home for miles, to then take the highway. I looked at my routing options. My home was about 10 miles away. Amazingly, waze's suggestion that I use the highway would take 17 miles. So nearly double the distance?!?! Would I get there earlier? NO!!! According to the ETA, this would take LONGER. So WHY?!?! Why would this profoundly stupid app want me to take the longest route, both in time and distance?! I'm so sick of this stupid App. I so wish there were better options out there, but all the GPS apps I've tried seem to be severely flawed in different aspects.

Theres are two parts of the WAZE

1.Traffic and police information
2. Navigation

1. Very good and very helpful
2. Very poor making daily lots of mistake and misguiding because of poor map and communication leg at compass. Im not so satisfied user.

Giving compass directions in the city or anywhere, especially on a cloudy day, is extremely confusing even for those gifted with a sense of direction. One is concentrating on traffic, road signs and pedestrians so to be given the task of working out the direction of the sun and then the direction given is confusing and time wasting. And during the dark hours is just useless. Please use “turn right, left etc”. There is one version that will tell one to turn, well in advance, but then repeat the instructions as one is in the middle of the turn when one can do nothing at all.
There have been numerous times when I have been given impossible directions, like “turn left “ while on a highway with no left turn for many miles.
There have been times when I have been directed to travel kilometers when just 100 meters would suffice.

Only works half the time, and is only accurate about half the time as well.

Waze used to be the most accurate GPS but as of recent endeavors that is not the case. There have been multiple times it takes me on routes that end up being anywhere from 20-30 minutes longer than the original ETA.. now I know it is just an estimate but even Google maps is accurate within 5 minutes. To add to that I have, on multiple occasions, went on a different route that I know to be faster and after it would recalculate it shows I'm showing up 5 minutes earlier... now why wouldn't it take me on this faster route in the first place? That's been the question I have been asking myself for the last couple of months...

I have been using Waze for a long time and had always felt as though Waze was the best navigation app out there.
I found it to be very reliable and provided the best routes at all times.
However, more recently, I have noticed a negative change in the app - likely due to it now being owned by Google.
The app is no longer accurate and reliable. I found that it no longer provides the shortest and fastest routes. There are serious issues with the current app, such as providing a much longer route (at times 10 km longer) in order to save as little as 1 minute travel time. Additionally, I find that the app no longer updates current travel routes according to changing traffic conditions. At times, even when I change the route because of the bad traffic, Waze will try to direct me back to the original route with traffic. I am very disappointed by these changes as I had relied heavily on using Waze and I no longer can do that.

Waze recently change text color to blue on black background... Very difficult to read, what were they thinking? It's more dangerous, almost impossible to read with sunglasses on. For anyone who must wear prescription sunglasses to drive (millions of folks in Southern states), this is a non-starter. Sorry to see a previously good app make driving more dangerous (due to users having to remove glasses while driving to see the blue on black b/g text).

Waze is useless for traffic. Never found it to help. Right now have not moved in 95s in Virginia for 3 hours! All you get on waze iss a long red line and people saying haven't moved.

Well Waze failed me! Looking at a HUGE speeding ticket due to my idiotic trust for this app. DO NOT TRUST WAZE!!!
North Carolina drivers are unreliable.

Not enough people are using waze to make it valuable for detecting police. When it does announce police ahead, you've already seen them anyway. I think I may buy a radar detector instead.

Terrible! They don't even bother reading your support request or have any other way to reach out to them after they delete your information from a password reset.

Sucks. Cost me ayce crabs legs. Had to cross river 3 times to get to the ferry. Which I should never had to take necause I was already on the correct side of river. Very was closed. What a piece of shot.

Have had Waze for three years and never had a problem until this year. Now it is always "Waiting on Network" and the routing goes crazy. It is useless for giving me any good directions. I have tried every suggestion that I can find to correct this problem, but nothing works. Reluctantly I will now go to Google maps.

instead of taking me directly to my destination it goes on a magical mystery tour in the wrong direction and has to be abandoned in favour or using road signs

Please add my address to your map, 114 Knightsbridge Lane, Morganville, NJ 07751 Waze brings me to Lucas Boulevard, Morganville, NJ and Amazon drives use Waze and packages for Lucas Boulevard are coming to my building.

Been using Waze for almost 10 years. Recently I upgraded my phone and I misplaced my password tried to reset it. Was told after repeated attempts that I have to setup a new account s my account is not linked to an email even though in the past I received a reset password email

Customer service is very bad 👎👎👎👎 How come there is no other way to verify the owner of the account and how come in the past the account was linked to my email and now it’s not - very fishy and dissatisfactory replies from a lousy customer service

I love waze ! It . helped . me to learn . streets of the new city and still . helps me everyday !

In behalf of the victims of drunk drivers everywhere shame on you for helping drunk drivers avoid dwi checkpoints. You should be ashamed

After the January 2019 update, the option to lock zoom has been taken away. I understand that auto-zoom can be useful while routing, but when not routing it is an annoyance / distraction. 95% of the time I don't use routing. The app constantly zooms in, especially while driving in the city. On average, I have to hit zoom out every 10-15 seconds in the city if I want to see anything on the map beyond line-of-sight from my position. It is incessant, annoying and distracting. I cannot stand the app because of it and I won't be using it any longer unless it is fixed.
*UPDATE - February 13, 2019*
Zoom lock is back as of February 12 2019 update for iOS - Thank You! I can now enjoy the app once again.
