Ratings and reviews

I used to swear by this app, but for some reason, as of late, it does not update routes quickly, often the nav voice and map don't sync as it's changing routes meaning one misses turn after turn. Google maps does not have the same issue. None of my settings have been changed. It's a bit of a game changer especially if one is unfamiliar with where they are. Shame.

I had Waze on my previous phone that worked great. I now have a new phone with a new app that after a random period of time keeps the map and driving instructions updated but "goes to sleep", then "she" stops giving verbal instructions and notifications on Police and hazards ahead. If I restart the phone, "she" will start talking to me again...for a while. I have changed several settings with no success. The idea here is to be able to listen to instructions and not have to look at the phone.

For months now Waze audio directions often start with the sentence: "In about...", starts to say a number, then abruptly starts telling me another instruction. The abrupt, now relatively predictable, yet still irritating disjointed way of speaking (including after I've uninstalled and reinstalled it - after clearing the storage and cache)... I can't fathom why this has become a thing that has persisted over at least the latest 2 updates. I like Waze. I've utilized it for years, but.. . Pls fix.
