Ratings and reviews

This has never been a problem before, but WAZE now refuses to play through my phone's speaker, even though this option is set properly. If there is any Bluetooth connection through an earbud, headset, or your car, it will only play the directions through that device now unless you disable that Bluetooth. At first i thought it was my phone, but clearly, something happened with an update because I've talked to several people who regularly use WAZE and it's doing it to them, too. Please fix!

Edit, Waze is running again. Hopefully, it doesn't crash... After using Waze for years, the app has now crashed. I typed in and spoke the address I wanted to go to multiple times. Most of the time, Waze didn't respond, or if it did, it couldn't give directions. I un-installed and then reinstalled the app, and I can't log back into my account. I tried searching for the address I wanted to do and received a message that there wasn't a network signal. This app is now useless.

I was using Google Maps but heard people rave about Waze, so decided to give it a chance. Well, some parts are better, and some not so much. I am able to make reports via Waze while driving whereas I couldn't with Google Maps. But, Waze falls short on things like: it doesn't automatically resume a drive if the phone becomes disconnected, it doesn't allow you to choose an alternate route with the tap of a finger on the map, and I have to tap multiple things to get it to start a new drive.
