Waze Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AtlasBatterie Alan David (@AtlasBatterie) reported

    @SaltyAp3 Glad you provided a neat segue for my potential reversal. I do hold the phone on occasion but it spends more time in my pocket or, and this is the bigger issue, guiding me via Waze thru swamplands suction-cupped to windshield, overheating. Is smaller a problem? We'll find out.

  • solarisdobe HEMI-Momma (@solarisdobe) reported

    @TMobile Your service is SO BAD, I couldn't even use my Waze app to find my 81 year old Dad's doctor's office! Simple text messages won't send! I NEVER had this problem with Sprint who I had been with for 24 years! I want a refund on these phones you forced me to buy!

  • solarisdobe HEMI-Momma (@solarisdobe) reported

    @TMobile How about you fix your capacity issue! I can't even use Waze and texts are failing to send! My phone is useless and I pay a fortune for 3 phones!

  • UDOTTRAFFIC UDOT Traffic (@UDOTTRAFFIC) reported

    Driver Alert: A crash has closed the I-215 S collector ramp to SB I-15 at exit 297 to 7200 S. One lane is open on SB I-15 at MP 298, 7400 S. Expect major delays. Check the UDOT Traffic App or @waze for more information. @UDOTRegionTwo @UtahTrucking

  • MoCoRando Some Lady from MoCo, MD (@MoCoRando) reported

    @nbcwashington Hopefully this will get Google Maps or Waze or whoever to fix the issue with their GPS. Of course it doesn’t help that the highway system in NoVa is a clusterf**k!

  • will_emard William Emard (@will_emard) reported

    @GadgetsBoy I have no problem with Google map, but using Waze

  • ntkris ntkris (@ntkris) reported

    @bhaskark_la @waze False info / spam is def an issue, but there may be ways to get around. For eg, require >1 input and a negative score if info is false. But agree it’s challenging to solve

  • johnsul03620154 john sullivan (@johnsul03620154) reported

    @The_Matrixxx_ Whatever it is it is worthless pieces of ****! Entire Waze working for it and worshiping it and sacrificing our lives for it. We don't live in this world, we destroy it with concrete and tractors. For what! This is progress? This is what the orange pill will do to you.

  • ReedHoniton 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦🇪🇺 Colin Reed - Moron Intolerant 💙 (@ReedHoniton) reported

    I think my @TomTom is broken. @googlemaps & @waze too. I've tried every spelling I can think of for "#SunlitUplands" but nothing. I'm told it's where the party's at ...so is it in Downing Street? Feels like I'm missing out on all that was promised. I feel like I'm the #NHS 😢

  • timfoil04 Timothy Lasater (@timfoil04) reported

    Waze pls stop shaming me for going 70 mph on the 73. if I go 65 the people who go 80 will crash into me!!

  • waze waze (@waze) reported

    @731TV Hi Wazer. We noticed you were having some trouble. We recommend deleting Waze and reinstalling it while connected to WiFi. Before doing so, please connect an email address to your account to register so that you save your account and can recover it if you need to. -Fitz

  • Snurdel snafu (@Snurdel) reported

    @waze no voice directions. Many people with same issue, none of the posted solutions work. Please fix!

  • Jamiereloaded23 Jamiereloaded23 (@Jamiereloaded23) reported

    @waze Kate UK voice still is broken. Changes again to American at times and now also changes to a male voice. Volume changes wildly when this happens and is making the app less appealing to use. Any ideas on a fix?

  • rebbecasrose rose (@rebbecasrose) reported

    kehlani on waze now im gonna crash hearing her?

  • AAXIII Abe (@AAXIII) reported

    @pandaloverHK @waze @TMobile I have an issue with phone calls and I'm a T-Mobile user.

  • tamys46 TAMYS 譚應祥 🐶 (@tamys46) reported from Sungai Buloh, Selangor

    @waze has a problem in Section11 PJ. Always send drivers into a dead end road 11/10, then they do 3point turns right in front of my driveway 😡

  • HuntingBenjamin Benjamin Hunting Code 45 June 8! MAR221881 (@HuntingBenjamin) reported

    @PatrickBMin @YSSMAN I find it very strange that Waze is missing. I also had Google Maps crash on me a few too many times. It feels like Volvo left a lot on the table.

  • jackston65 jack (@jackston65) reported

    After 45 minutes on I 70 in Washington County, PA, Waze just told me there's a crash up ahead.. I'm screaming at my phone, oh really?

  • UnrealCh13f Unreal (@UnrealCh13f) reported

    @AndyManganelli I think it may be more useful in smaller rural areas? My normal use case for Waze is if there are better routes unforeseen events (crash, lane closures, etc.) are involved and does beat out the primary route from Google or Apple.

  • mikehwaffle just mike (@mikehwaffle) reported from Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur

    @waze love your soo but please fix the way your location search works. There’s soo many times It leads me to the wrong place just because of ads or it’s slow and I have to double check my destination every single time.

  • insane_bully ᗷᖇᑌᑎO (@insane_bully) reported

    @fahim_al_mahmud I have both maps installed on the iPhone, and sometimes I use Google maps, sometimes Apple maps:) what is the problem:)))) Sometimes I use Waze when driving

  • kappachan Erika Narimatsu (@kappachan) reported

    @zeldana I stopped using Google Maps as well. I also used Waze for a bit, but stopped cuz i don’t have a death wish. I heard they fixed that issue with Waze, but Apple Maps is too simple and nice now.

  • Nozipho_MaBlose Nozipho Shinga (@Nozipho_MaBlose) reported

    @_magakwe_ For a grown *** man you sure acting like a 3 year old and instead of pointing out the error I made and you being who you are with a small mind you saw an opportunity to make it a laughing matter. Sies waze wanyanyisa ekseni

  • RDAManOfLeisure RDA (@RDAManOfLeisure) reported

    @RonFilipkowski Well, maybe Waze was not working and she got lost…

  • avieliaz Avi (@avieliaz) reported

    Was there a major crash or something at around 1500 or something on 1395N at the infamous junction as waze had me going on 495 to get into dc?

  • Robbieelect Robbie (@Robbieelect) reported

    @DeeWilliamsXXX I usually have no problem trusting waze with directions that sucks you got bad experience

  • LintheD Rob Waring (@LintheD) reported

    @RapidOwl Fair point, although I'd suggest keeping it out of the binnacle. Waze is supposed to be pretty good, but I think the main problem is that it's a comparison of software companies vs. car companies doing software

  • arcanecode Arcane Code (@arcanecode) reported

    You really wanna make Apple Maps nice, let it be like @waze where we can report traffic issues, get rerouting based on live time traffic reports, etc. #WWDC22

  • FabbriGuy fabbri-guy (@FabbriGuy) reported

    @BillKCTV5 If people used the WAZE app morons wouldn't crash into it

  • AshleyWylde0 Ashley but 🔞 (@AshleyWylde0) reported

    Seriously cannot recommend Waze as a GPS. It tried to add 5 minutes to my Uber trip by sending my driver through the back roads to avoid a 30 second delay passing a crash.
