  • floc82 Floc (@floc82) reported

    @hmeisler Markets prices future, not past. Non-working ai, messed up safesearch and youtube down, only yesterday. What about tomorrow? Waze is still working bc is still partially managed by old dev team btw.

  • BearFlagFan BearFlagFan (@BearFlagFan) reported

    @wx_Frankie The concept of Waze is great but the execution is disappointing. There’s no hierarchy to problem severity, so I get the same alert for a jackknifed truck and someone pulled over on the roadside that isn’t impeding anything.

  • flip_02000 flip02000 (@flip_02000) reported

    @ottocast1 I need help, I bought the Picasou2 (round one) but I’m having a lot of trouble with Waze or any maps in the widget it just stops working no matter what I try I’m hoping there is something that can help me in the factory settings but I need the passcode can you help?

  • RomanShark Roman & Roco 🏳️‍🌈 (@RomanShark) reported

    @waze Done! Issue ticket sent. I’ve also applied for the Waze Beta in Testflight to see if any beta version fixes the issue. Thank you!

  • DontBePoorGirl Kryse Essence Hall (@DontBePoorGirl) reported

    Waze be pissing me tf off. Be updating slow as ****

  • thatsmyfullname thatsmyfullname 🕺 (@thatsmyfullname) reported

    Another friend who has friends driving for Grab said they also experience the same. So it's both drivers and passengers being inconvenienced by Grab's navigation. If the navigation is not working out, please go back to Waze/Google Maps.

  • waze waze (@waze) reported

    @RoxoeS Hey Roxoe! Thanks for alerting us to this map error in VA. We understand how important it is to get it fixed. Please submit a ticket for this issue in the app by tapping My Waze>Settings icon (in the upper left-hand corner)>scroll all the way down> tap "Report an issue". -Rosa

  • RomanShark Roman & Roco 🏳️‍🌈 (@RomanShark) reported

    @waze Thanks, deleted and reinstalled app, but didn’t have to login again (it saved login). Then, enabled debug mode and re-opened waze. Reports sent. But waze still lags and freezes the phone for 5-6 seconds when changing app or trying to close it in multitask, it’s really annoying!

  • waze waze (@waze) reported

    @RomanShark (1/2) Sure Roman! We're sorry you're having trouble with the app lagging on your iPhone. We recommend deleting and then reinstalling Waze on your iPhone. But first, be sure to add your email address to your Waze account (if you haven't already). -Rosa

  • DanCollinsDFG Dan Collins ☠️😈🤦‍♂️ (@DanCollinsDFG) reported

    @Tim_Oldland I have a touchscreen in my 2015 Focus, it has Sat Nav & I have used it, but I prefer using Waze. Issue is that my touchscreen is Sync 2, so doesn’t have CarPlay so I have to use it through my phone. Considering upgrading it to Sync 3, but it’ll be an aftermarket modification.

  • Zarathustra314 Rami (@Zarathustra314) reported

    @Google @Karamo @waze Give access to the bard please. I don't care about the factual errors, there is no perfect product. As long as the tool is useful that is good enough for me.

  • _MARKSE Mark S Emery (@_MARKSE) reported

    @waze Having lost a tyre to one of the potholes, £135 to replace and a two hour wait for the mechanic to come to the vehicle, I find waiting for others to report such problems before they appear a concern. I made a point of returning to the spot to log it. Many wouldn’t.

  • wiles_derrick derrick wiles (@wiles_derrick) reported

    @waze The road block, there isn't any problems on that road and hasn't been for months

  • Clara_D_Huevo Clara de Huevo (@Clara_D_Huevo) reported

    @juanse1432 @torrenegra Indeed, usage of datasets such as the ones that waze or Google maps must already have may be key for this synchronization issue; there is a remarkable lack of technology applied to these kind of problems, why? Cost? Universality?

  • harperhoodclips Harp (@harperhoodclips) reported

    @waze the issue isn’t the gps not knowing where I am the issue is the mislabeling of I-169 (which every gps does) and waze completely missing construction zones in the valley, along with the crowdsourcing of alerts (which ik isn’t your fault but still)

  • MelissaCMurphey Melissa Murphey (@MelissaCMurphey) reported

    @waze what’s going on? I can’t get the app to work now. It was fine an hour ago. I’ve tried restarting my phone and deleting and re-downloading the app, and nothing is working.

  • NabilahAbdSani نبيله (@NabilahAbdSani) reported

    I’ve planned my dream honeymoon with my husband. All I need to do is to get married however my future husband seems to lost his way. His waze is not working I guess?? 😐

  • 937TheTrolls MAGIK MALKIN (@937TheTrolls) reported

    @waze It's not always issue. It's definitely a Google Samsung integration issue. If I hit the microphone icon out of my head units display ways works perfectly. It's Android Auto or Google not responding to my prompt. But ways works perfectly if I just plug my phone in and hit my dest.

  • BamboatSadik Sadik Bamboat (@BamboatSadik) reported from Mumbai Suburban, State of Mahārāshtra

    Hang Me Till Death But Please Transfer This Law & Order Police Inspector & 2nd Sachin Waze Of Mahim P.S For Misusing His Power & Also Running An Extortion Racket With One Local Journalist. He's Responsible For Many Law & Order Issues #WhistleBlower @CPMumbaiPolice @MumbaiPolice

  • MKinAkron Mike Kessel (@MKinAkron) reported

    @TheeFerringer @who_shot_jgr I detoured near it when I was working up in Willoughby. It had it's own Waze warning. Are we blowing up Roz's mentions with this side convo?

  • RomanShark Roman & Roco 🏳️‍🌈 (@RomanShark) reported

    @waze Please consider iPhone SE 2 users and make waze app in iOS not lagging so much and beingg so slow… it’s really annoying! Even going into multitask is freezing the phone for more than 3 seconds in iOS 16! 🥺🥺🥺

  • Matt_Ellefson Matt Ellefson (@Matt_Ellefson) reported

    @waze for the love of God, will you please fix the app so it does not freeze on Android Auto when using the Google Pixel 7 pro. Its the only phone that this freezes up on Android Auto out of the 5 phones that I have. I've reported this bug a thousand times to you and @Google

  • iampapiti TV Guia (@iampapiti) reported

    @waze Not having GPS signal was not the issue. It’s happened before, I had reported it before, plenty of open space to he able to have GPS signal, its a software/app issue. Don’t try to blame it once again to GPS signal!

  • JustHere4Coffe_ JustHere4Coffee (@JustHere4Coffe_) reported

    @krzyart Waze has often suggested I cross the main street from a sidestreet, where the main street has a fence down the middle to prevent such an action - even after I've submitted corrections and photos. It's... definitely got some issues!

  • TinhatDaffy TinhatDaffy (@TinhatDaffy) reported

    @waze Why does your app always keep running in the background even when Im done using it?? Your ****** app drains my battery until I change the settings so that it “Never” has access to my location. I thought it was just my phone but my dad has the same problem

  • 15Med3_Official Med (@15Med3_Official) reported

    When is @waze going to fix the Beep issue....some people can beep and some people cannot... for what seems to be, no valid reason other then developers don't care to make the effort to fix the issue...

  • itsjessfitz Jess Fitz (@itsjessfitz) reported

    Woke up feeling grateful I got lost last night because Waze & Google maps were making me walk in circles trying to find my car park. Imagine if I’d walked into @QPark_UK to find my car getting broken into & something worse had happened because security wasn’t on last night.

  • puffthemagedrag KatHana (@puffthemagedrag) reported

    I think I know why it’s jam now.. Waze is not working so a lot of people slowed down not knowing which exit to take.
