Ratings and reviews

The new update seems to have some big issues, however. It seems like most of these have to do with notifications. I don't get many "Time to leave!" or "Plan to leave" notifications, even the ones that come the night before anymore. I rely on these for a lot of things. Also, my car doesn't show navigation information through Android Auto on it's customizable screen which seems to use a specific notification channel from Waze. These issues still haven't been fixed after 6 months.

I can't believe how bad this app is compared to Google maps. The Android Auto interface is buggy and unreliable. The directions and time disappear from the screen and the only way to get them back is to click to report and then back out. The fact that it's missing voice input is baffling. The routing is just plain terrible. It tries to reroute me around traffic that doesn't exist constantly. It's only saving grace is the enhanced reporting and visibility of hazards over Google maps.

Used to love this app.it always found the shortest route and least traffic. Recently it's trying to send me on the most common, heavily traveled routes. Even when I look for alternatives it won't show routes I know and use regularly to avoid traffic. Also, the times are as accurate as they used to be. It's like it doesn't factor in traffic anymore. Lastly, I'm experiencing the app locking up, either blue circle indication search, or just plain locking up.
