Ratings and reviews

Since the latest update installed on 8/25, my phone (Samsung S24+) has been draining the battery much more than before while using Waze. I keep getting the warning message: "Waze is using system resources excessively and slowing down your phone. Put it in deep sleep to keep your phone running smoothly." I've never had any issues with Waze doing this previously, but something happened on this last update that is causing this. Even with my phone plugged in and charging, the battery goes down.

Strange bug. I was on the highway approaching an exit in about 3 miles when the directions changed; I thought I had somehow missed it when I realized... It just went to the next step. It was operating that I had already made the exit and just added the mileage together. Also, why must we press continue/resume so many times? If I check other routes or go to settings I *have to hit* those at least twice. Why?? That screen doesn't add any valuable information.

Used to be really good when they had a detour button, now average. That detour button needs to come back, and they need to add a way to add a stop on a route. Also, it tends to be off by a few miles at first before I start the route. I bounce between this and Google maps, but if they brought those features in? I'd use it more frequently.

What's new

Saving time & avoiding traffic is even simpler with this update:

Fixed a bug so the map remains centered on the car icon
