They started to prioritise the fuel company's instead of customers. Do jot trust waze regarding your travel route. Use map or motorway signs better.

An absolute disgrace of an app

An absolute disgrace of an app. Im certain that waze for most people causes the traffic, then for select people avoids it. I have honestly looked at waze and not understood the route it’s taken me, on instinct decided to go another way and then it knocks 10 minutes off the estimated time? Seriously if you live around London, do not use this app, it’s absolutely atrocious and will have you ripping the hairs put of your head.

Waze function has worsened in GTA, Ontario.

I use Waze in the GTA area in Ontario. Waze used to be great, always helped to pick the faster route and avoided traffic. However, since around 18 months ago, it has failed to do so (rumors said it started to work with the city traffic center). It always directs me to get off highway to use city routes which 7 out of 10 times is a lot slower because of traffic, waiting for traffic lights, left/right turns ... etc.. Also, only occasionally gives me the route option with HOV lane. Reporting incident is much worse than before, so many clicks/taps, very distracting during driving. I’m starting to use Google map more now. Waze, you need to go back to the wait you use to work if you want to get more people to use it!!

Trying to get to a an actual person at Waze to remove a persons personal phone number from the Dulles Toll Road description. This person lives in Pennsylvania and doesn't even use the toll road in Virginia but gets multiple calls a day for someone wanting information. Tried logging into the community forums with no luck.

WAZE SUCK BALLS !!

WAZE SUCK BALLS !!!

PUNCHED IN ADDRESS TOOK ME TO ANOTHER BAD PART OF TOWN ALMOST GOT KILLED DUE TO WAZE.

I TOLD WAZE ABOUT IT AND THIS IS THERE RESPONSE

Hi Michael

After further review, we do not see any indication where and if there is a wrong address associated with "711 S. HOPE ST. LA, CA" as "711 S. HOPE ST. LA, CA" has a single location in the Waze map (located about 2.5 miles from "1606 MENLO AVE. LA, CA"). If you have more information as to the location of the "WRONG BAD ADDRESS" we will be grateful to receive it to further understand the issue.

Regardless, if you are travelling to addresses that you are less familiar with, you can examine the proposed route and relevant attributes and indications and it is your sole responsibility to decide whether you want to travel on the suggested route or to choose one of the alternative routes by activating the "routes" application feature, available to all users of the Waze service.
It should be noted that as a rule of thumb, and as clearly indicated by the terms and conditions of the service, the use of any navigation software does not and can not replace the responsibility of the driver from exercising discretion relating to his travel.

Regards

Waze Support Team

THIS IS WHY DONT USE WAZE !!!

Terrible GPS

Terrible GPS, the app took me to Heathrow Terminal 4 whereas I typed in Terminal 2 post code. I relied on the app and it deceived me.

App takes you miles out of the way for no apparent reason. From my home the app has me going roughly five miles out of the way to get to the interstate. Once on the interstate I would pass the access that would have been much shorter.

It instructs driver to turn left when the location you are going to requires a right turn.

While driving on the road where your destination is located app instructs you to turn left onto the road you are on, for example I am driving on Rea Road about three miles from my destination and the app tells me to turn left onto Rea Road. If I weren't familiar with the area I would be terribly lost because there is no Rea Road to turn left onto.

This app could not tell the difference between Rt. 214 East and West.
I went over 8 miles east until I realized it had sent me to the WRONG DIRECTION.

In unknown territory, late for an appointment, of course there was a speed trap camera (PG County, MD.) and it cost me $43.95. I know I can't blame WAZE for speeding, I'm not a whiner. However, this app, on this particular trip, SUCKED.

Terrible App

This app has repeatedly directed me into closed freeways and heavy traffic when other routes, including previous freeways I was on are moving free and clear. I don’t know why this app is still even used.

Fraid Waze is going down the pan

Fraid Waze is going down the pan. It was the gold standard of travel apps and in car GPS's. Now it just sends you down all the usual routes instead of finding quicker routes and I have to help it along by if possible using my knowledge of an area. Not good!!! I find my VW inboard GPS is equally good with some of my own input. So the end of what was once a great app. Blame Google who own Waze now.

Unreliable

App tried to send me down a section of road that has been closed for construction for months. It asked if I wanted a reminder to leave at 645am in order to be on time to my destination. I said yes. When the time arrived, nothing happened. Then, I noticed that the reminder time had changed to 1248pm for no reason.

Unreliable

Unreliable. Half the time “oops, something went wrong”. Other half time directs me into the worst possible road construction traffic when I know from experience there’s a better route. I’m deleting this app. It’s f’d me one too many times . Back to google maps.
