Reviews: What People Think About Waze Navigation & Live Traffic

Rating: 3/5

Waze is my #1 choice for GPS. Live traffic updates, being able to edit traffic conditions on the fly to give a more accurate commute, and sharing routes and eta’s are great features. I do hope they integrate voice commands with Siri so we can say things like “Hey Waze, drop a stopped vehicle pin.” While we are driving so interaction becomes handsfree and safer. I gave 3 stars because there have been repeated issues with the app and service saying “No GPS available.” I have tried rebooting, deleting & reinstalling, and clearing the app cache on my phone as well as making sure iOS and the app are updated constantly. But the occurrence does not appear to be linked to hardware failure unless it is something inherent to the 8s. Google and Apple maps do not have any issues when this occurs so I’m at a loss as to what causes the issues with Waze. This occurs for about a 8-12 hours once a day, once or twice a month. Not the end of the world but heavily inconvenient when you regularly use the service for your GPS navigation (and it’s a great service) and you are on the road daily for 4-6 hours at a time it is a problem. If they could fix this problem and integrate voice commands for pin drops, this would be a hands down 5 Star app. Hopefully I’ll get some feedback and can continue to use the service.

I have been using Waze for about a month now I commute Just over 1000 miles a week. I really like that many people are out there using it and that you get vital information like a car’s coming up on the shoulder, objects in the road and where the police are camping at. The only problem I have with Waze I’d like to see some changes is that there are too many choices to make when reporting information, for example if I want to report a car on the side of the road I have to hit four different selections before my information is sent meanwhile I’m trying to look at the screen to find a small button and not paying attention to what is on the road. Reporting information needs to be simplified for the driver no more than two clicks to report a hazard something along the lines of the first click hazard second click “car on shoulder” or “car in lane” or “object in lane”. Decision making buttons need to be a little larger like when you’re confirming a hazard on the road is it still there yes or no the buttons are too small and I often miss them and not able to confirm the information information. May be a few seconds before you approach the hazard two large buttons could pop up and simply confirm yes or no is it there. I will say this I do enjoy using it and it is much better than Google maps or other navigation apps out there.

It’s good, one of the better apps for gig delivery drivers as it does not take you to gated community gates that are exit/emergency gates only. However it does have issues. Like most other navigation apps if the address you want has a backyard on a main road it will try to take you to the back wall instead of the front of the house. A big issue for gig delivery drivers is when using this app with Door Dash(unlike the other two main navigation apps) when you hit get directions as soon as you go into the Waze app you have to hit “go now.” For normal drivers that’s fine as they are setting navigation before driving off. As a gig delivery driver I get offers while driving often and being able to be quick to get the navigation running so I know to get in what lane to get to the store for pickup is important especially in traffic. That short delay while Waze opens up and then I have to hit “go now” can make the difference of getting in the right lane or having to go 1/4 to 1/2 a mile before I can u turn to get to where I have to go for a pickup. Having an option to disable the go now for gig delivery drivers would be nice. Like I said google maps and Apple Maps don’t have that sort of delay. Even the DD in app navigation doesn’t do that. Sometimes the delay is enough to frustrate me and makes me consider going back to Apple Maps or even the horrible DD in app navigation.
