Ratings and reviews

I enjoy this app, but there is an ongoing issue with pop-ups. When I report something, it thanks me for helping others. The notification then stays on the screen, blocking the bottom info. When full-screen notifications pop up for a "faster" route, the buttons on the bottom don't work, and the notification doesn't go away automatically. Both of these issues are fixed by closing the app, reopening, and rerouting to the destination. Unnecessary phone touching for a hands-free app.

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.
