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... See more

Worst map software I have ever used
Worst map software I have ever used. I figured I would give it a try. Big Mistake. My first destination it missed by three city blocks. My second destination I gave up on after it had me making u turns every quarter mile. I deleted it from my phone as I returned home.
There is no way to turn it off so the…
There is no way to turn it off so the battery doesn't keep running down. None of the suggestions on various websites work because the symbols needed to do it don't show up on the screen.
Got a ticket because of the app

Useless won’t be using again
JUST LOST a customer
Would give Waze a zero if I had the option. Used to trust and use Waze frequently. Now, every time we use Waze they send us in some backwoods off road long detour even when we can almost see the road we need to be turning on to get to our destination.
Dreadful navigation
Absolutely furious.
There has been a pile up on the M6 going south - absolutely horrendous for everyone involved. We were lucky enough to be diverted off at Carnforth - we were on the beautiful but busy A6040….. at one point all the other cars turned left and we were taken right by Waze - then taken onto the M6 south - - we assumed it must have been reopened , but no, we are still here - at a complete standstill with an extra hour and half added into an already delayed journey. The road is still closed and we have to leave it AGAIN. Waze - what the hell were you thinking of - taking more traffic onto a closed road????? How can we trust you in the future?
Not user friendly
Not user friendly. Particularly annoying that they have made it as difficult as possible to come out of the app/turn off without still using data in it.
Worst navigation app doesn't even know…
Worst navigation app doesn't even know where it's going absolutely shocking if your relying on it,thankfully we was just trying it out....couldn't even get us to our door and doesn't reroute
Used to be good now, I’m uninstalling it
I was in Peckham needed to get to Hackney Waze he took me to Buckingham Palace and into the congestion zone rather than go over Tower Bridge it wanted me to go to Westminster Bridge which made absolutely no sense, even if the traffic was busier over Tower Bridge Westminster was way longer. This app used to be really good, but lately it’s been rubbish. I don’t know what’s going on. using the app has cost me £17.50 and probably some petrol.
Waze has become a useless navigation…
Waze has become a useless navigation app, the last time I used it the address I was looking for popped up in the middle of the road, confused I called the individual and I had missed the address by a half mile, back to google maps for me.
It's embarrassing how bad waze is
It's embarrassing how bad waze is, always check your route on other apps
It could be really good
Look at the ratings, 60% hate and give It one star or lower if they could. Come on WAZE listen to the people!! It could be really good, except for the following: No English in English voice, only American English (plus others) and a lot of them waste time with silly statements, you can miss your junction while she talking.
Has sent me on a long route, when there is a shorter one! Plus telling me I'm driving at the wrong speed! It looks very good and it could beat Google maps, just needs some tidying.🤔
SUPER ROUTE
Today we had to drive from N London to Borehamwood Herts in Evening Rush Hour
Expecting a dreary crawl, we instead experienced an amazing drive through delightful parts of Outer London including stately homes, terraced cottages, woodlands and green fields dotted with sheep.very quick for rush hour. Thank you Waze
DANGEROUS...BEWARE.
Used Waze yesterday on M3.
Travelling through speed restrictions in 50mph, WAZE informed me that I had EXITED SPEED RESTRICTIONS.
I accelerated to 70mph, but noticed short distance later there were still 50mph signs up !!!
I now must wait and see if I get a ticket :(
DANGEROUS, BEWARE !
I love this app since I discovered it
I love this app since I discovered it. It is much simpler than Google or other navigation apps. All I need is simple direction and no other distracting details, this app delivers exactly that.
I love Waze and that new dude keeps one…
I love Waze and that new dude keeps one really entertained during the drive. I like it when he says it’s as easy as 123 and good job 😁😁
I installed waze about a year ago
I installed waze about a year ago, been working great we really got along, after about 3 months I was travelling from the South up to Hull. The A1 was closed it took me off the A1 on an hour detour and brought me right back to where I originally came off the A1, I turned to Google maps to sort me out.
I had a similar experience yesterday 17/11/24 travelling from Newcastle to Birmingham heavy delays on A1 South waze took me off the A1 on a detour and brought me right back into the queues. Again Google to the rescue, waze has been removed from my device. Sorry but personally I wouldn't waste your time with it, Google all the way..
If i could give 0 stars then I would
If i could give 0 stars then I would, had to switch to Google Maps to my vehicle navigation as just couldnt trust Waze no more. Repeatedly sending me on ridiculous routes that just dont make sense. Google maps all the way for me.
Waze is best navigation app and works…
Waze is best navigation app and works perfectly in my country.

The app itself has pros and cons but the problem is Lostinmymaps. What a useless fat pos. Would give zero stars if I could.
