User reviews

Dark mode "only at night" doesn't work correctly nor does it properly sense night time on vehicles with automatic headlights. Update: Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, disconnecting and reconnecting while driving is not a safe or practical solution, nor is pulling over to fix what is fundamentally a software flaw. Waze seems to require regular disconnects to "fix" things and that doesn't seem to be getting better.

I like this app and would have given it 5 stars, but I’m rating it 4 stars because of how it works with Android Auto. On Android, you can only control it from the car’s screen, which is inconvenient. On Apple devices, you can manage it from both the car screen and your phone, making it more flexible. Waze is great for navigation, but this limitation on Android needs improvement for a better experience. Fix this, and it will be better.

With the recent app updates selecting or modifying settings are frustrating to access. The recent changes to the voice settings made me want to find a navigation voice, but you can't play a sample of the voice without starting a new route. So you have to play Forrest Gump with the voices until you find a new one you like. Clunky, is an understatement of how underwhelmingly bad this is.
