World Waze Reviews 319

Complicated ,unable to check journey if it is not from home, also petrol station location difficult to use

This app takes you out of the way...I am assuming they gave a deal with the gas companies because they route you out the way costing gas and time ...this app used to be great . Now it sucks ..makes you burn more gas.

Eell i am in Spain and love it the only problem is you cant turn the bloody thing off
There is no stop or cancell button

London Private Hire Sriver.
I’ve been using Waze since 2019. Back then it was brilliant would get me through London traffic in ways I didn’t know have worked in London as a mini cab driver for years however in 2022 I was driving from UK to Spain and the app would bring me off the motorway at certain junctions only to put me back from the same junction, on the way home it tried to put me through Paris by then I had no more trust so I switched back to Apple.
I drive extensively in London and still use Waze but have realised it’s nothing like it used to be I am now often just using my knowledge to get around only using Waze app for final destination.
The app now uses exactly the same routes as Google maps (it’s now owned by Google) which to be quite honest was quite useless anyway compared to how Waze used to work. It’s such a shame Waze sold out to Google and then Google runs it down without improving its own app, maybe they are running out of money hope they go broke.

I wanted to go from Samoens to Flaine in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps. The directions given took me the exact opposite direction for about an hour. Thinking this is just one error due signal weakness I tried the next day and same mistake which I obviously didn't follow. I then tried the reverse direction on the way back and again the app was just giving erroneous directions one after another. In short, when in the French Alps do not use Waze and use Google Maps instead

I have NEVER in my 51 years felt the fear I felt today when WAZE routed me down a DIRT BOULDER MUDDY ROAD that My Passenger and I had to be PULLED out of (the mud) The PRIVATE ROAD OWNER came to the rescue. THANK GOD he didn't come shooting. Im BLACK. My passenger was YT. Waze I NEED to speak to someone. My car has possible damage and then some. I am VERY VERY VERY disappointed. IMAGINE being stuck in mud on the side of a Mountain Hill with BEARS & MOUNTAIN Lions...One a TRUMP Country BACK Private ROAD...Just let that sit for awhile. I WILL be using ANOTHER App from here on out

Never had any problems. I use all the time in uk also good in Tenerife and Spain. Best of call it does not cost anything. If used correctly its a game changer.i

Twice in the past 24 hours Waze has given my Uber driver a bonkers route. Last night my two minute wait became 10 minutes. Today I’m now late for a funeral because we round in a circle in the wrong direction for ten minutes. Just useless

No time to express how bad is it, trust its bad

So much better than Google maps(google gave us a 1h while waze is 30 mins.Only one dissapointment,the timings are slightly inarrcurate by 5 mins...

Waze is trash…got me listening to a few times. Tells me to come off the highway for no reason!!! Google Maps is the best!!! Uninstalled Waze, worst direction ever!

I was sent down a remote narrow lane that turned out to be a dead end in the middle of the night next to a canal I had to reverse in the pitch black which was very scary, fortunately a very nice man came out of his house and helped me. I am deleting the ap and will go back to Apple Maps.

I used Waze and it directed me into a cycle only street costing me a fine. It only warms of traffic and pot holes. There a lot of places that are cycle only are are hidden and look like normal streets for cars.

We have used Waze for several years and it was great. Lately it's started diverting us down every side road then back to our usual route. In the past we have reported an issue; it is taking us in the wrong direction from our gate then back past our home. After logging stuff over and over, we still have the issue!!
We've gone back to Google Maps.

For the second week running, Waze has driven me into an accident and motorway closure. Absolutely shocking.

I will be deleting the app and using Google maps / satnavs going forward if I ever start moving again

The most awful customer service. Absolutely useless. I logged an issue due to Waze directing me on a restricted road, I incurred an £80 for it. Didn’t know the area, relied on Waze to get me home. All I asked is that they update their map route so other drivers don’t follow the same route and get PCN like I did! Issue with the app, only showed Canada and we are in the UK. Customer service don’t want to hear it, giving generic crappy replies. So beware people, use at your own risk, I’ve deleted the app because I’m not trusting Waze to update routes that they are now aware are restricted, they couldn’t get two damns about drivers paying heavy fines so it’s a goodbye from me.

Worst app in uk always took long way google map is much better then waze

Good map does the job most taxi drivers using it so far so good. And it was free using it for years. Google map also good too

Is waze set by local country regulation to make you waste your time and money ,??
Today's test just proved it.
I know the road to go to my favourite restaurant per heart, not my partner, and he always be stuck in a big traffic jam, as he used waze. I don't use waze and take another road.
I input the destination into waze, and of course, it suggested the same road as my partner usually takes.
This day, we took 2 cars. I took my road despite waze advices to take another road. I really wanted to see if rhere was traffic or accident on my usual road.
My partner followed waze itinerary.
It took me 22 minutes to go the restaurant, my partner using waze made it in 34 minutes stucked in traffic jam.
Waze of course suggested him to go through the city center, where it is always jamed.
Result following Waze.
Waste of time, money, gas.. and more pollution in city center.
BAD APP.
