World Waze Reviews 319

Really really poor navigation app. Constantly sends me into terrible traffic issues causing huge delays. And this becomes even more frustrating when others I know travel the same journey but arrive at destination way ahead of me, simply because they have used a different navigation service.. Bye bye Waze..!!

Used this for a whole now but todya has enough as it takes you seriously wrong ways and tells you to it's the quickest. 2 hours on a journey that takes me 45 mins is wrong. I ditched it in the end as just taking me around the houses, so went my normal way or is be 3 hours getting home. Dont use avoid this app.

Waze used to be really good. More recently, it has gotten me lost and sent me on wild goose chases. I still use it as my go-to GPS but I’m more likely to verify the route by using a different GPS app and comparing them.

If you want to ruin your car, get taken down tiny roads so narrow you have to bring your mirrors in, and there’s a grass mound in the middle of the road through such little use, pot holes and little more than a dirt track…

Use Waze.

I used it today and it took me 45 minutes to do 6 miles, Waze tried to take me down closed country roads, your arrival time then takes three times longer as it diverts you down more and more single track country lanes. Awful experience.

In fact all afternoon It took me on dreadful minor single track roads and I barely hit an A or B road, if I did it very soon turned me off down a single track road again. Every turn was worse and worse and it seemed like it was avoiding decent roads at any cost.

Waze routinely miscalculate the time to destination by an astounding 30%. It’s calculation is based on the traffic conditions at the destination at the time of departure rather than using easy to access data on what the traffic pattern is historically along the way to the destination at the time your car will be there. For example, every Sunday afternoon the time of arrival to Manhattan is calculated based on the time of departure, rather than taking into account the traffic jam up that occurs every Sunday late in the afternoon into the evening going into Manhattan. It also comes up with byzantine ways to avoid the traffic, which add 10 to 15 minutes to the time the trip would have taken if one had just stayed on the straight and narrow. It is a terrible app.

I like the app sometimes but there are times when it will take us off the beaten path and add lots of time to our trip ☹

Absolutely fantastic, helped me so much in Cornwall. I have used google maps and tom tom but waze is the best 5Star

It has become as bad as Google Maps for trips - route planning especially. I’m off to find my next new driving app. It has dramatically changed over the last month. Google purchasing has been its downfall.

Appallingly complex and unintuitive ui. Trying to store and access frequent locations is far too hard. Thousands of unexplained icons all over the map. Nowhere online explains them. And the speech recognition buries the exact match way down the list so you have to scroll to get to the exact text it recognised. Uninstalled.

Useless at identifying current problems and navigating for alternatives impossible. Just use Googlemaps or RAC - both much more accurate and user friendly.

This app took me through Bristol at peak time, directed me along a road that had been closed for some time for repairs the spent another 45 mins trying to get me out of the city centre. 😡

Used to be a great app
It is now the worst app for navigation! It leads me to traffic and will take me on the longest route, I’ve tested it a few times and because I know shortcuts myself I’be had to use my own initiative because this app is so unreliable and will make you late everywhere you go? Do not know what’s happened to it because it used to be good but it’s shocking now. Don’t bother with it! Waste of time

Worst app ever!! Took me over 2 hours to travel from Andover to Bristol a journey which is 90 minutes tops! One star for having Boy George directing me but I think even he got fed up of the sound of his own voice by the end!! App deleted and Google maps reinstated!

Waze sent me wrong on every roundabout it was a good job i new most of the way, what is the point of this app, i was only going a 20 minute journey and it told me wrong about 5 times.

Waze was good in the beginning. Now, is rubbish app. Not accurate, can't find a destination. Navigate me through small roads, however, is not traffic on the main road. It seems waze is using customers to discover new roads for them. Switching off sometimes. Refreshed but still doing it. Not recommended unless you really desperate. Back to Google maps.

Worst navigation app
But tells you if there's a Blitzer so there goes one star.

I'd rather ask Spongebob for navigation

Waze made me lose at least 2 hours in the trafficon Friday. It was an extraordinary day, Blackwall Tunnel was closed. But these are the times you really need an app to assist you. It totally failed. Sent me to nowhere and took me back all the way. It always showed 40 something minutes to home which took 4,5 hours at the end. No asisstance, no correct information. You can see the difference between being cute and being useful.

Waze was terrible, sat in traffic for 2 hours because of accident on 75 north in Florida today. Was never given an alternative route.

Waze is an excellent app although it's mistaken sometimes, as if it's lost it's way 😁 Think it has to do with the satellite connection.
What's really bothering me are the covid adds. Really, it is all about unconscious programming and nothing else. It is really sad that even Waze is into this.

Arguably the worst app available. Trying to get home from SE1 currently and you have literally sent me all over south London, into every single piece of roadworks on the south circular. Switching back over to Google Maps and deleting whatever this is. Wish I had more arms so I could give you more thumbs down. Trash.
