  • mattdl68 Matthew Lowe (@mattdl68) reported

    @waze I will be no longer be reporting broken down vehicle’s until you make it safer to do so. There is no need to drill down multiple menus to report an accident. Have buttons for the the top ten reports used displayed on the main GUI.

  • bill_slawski Bill Slawski ⚓ (@bill_slawski) reported

    @phoebehobart You should take that problem up with WAZE or with Google since Google now owns them. I don't work there, so I have no idea of any measure they might have taken to prevent that from happening.

  • 99beanz Beanzel (@99beanz) reported

    Seeing that story boy the men who got lost taking a short cut from waze really bring back working for vigilance & taking a “short cut from manzan to point @JimBrown1919

  • NginguManzeZulu NginguManzeZulu (@NginguManzeZulu) reported

    @PaulinaM1306 Man ended our relationship abruptly. I went and bought me a Brand new car & i felt better sobbing inside of a comfortable machine from nursing my broken heart. Sometimes I pass him enroute to work a driver le box lakhe Lo Matchisi & think ugh🙄 waze waba isiphoxo Lo Bhuti🙄

  • MrStealYoCake Umair (@MrStealYoCake) reported

    @JustPapNow It’s mad out here, I usually have waze working overtime finding routes but even then, bare red lines

  • Title9Jen Jen (@Title9Jen) reported

    @Doug_Zbi @samschube @GQMagazine Challenge accepted OK I’m older and wiser and I can problem solve 1 – 3 not a thing, let’s go. (send donuts)✅ 4) Anxiety but I can handle 25% volume because captions are already enabled. ✅ 5) Driving in new place music on high volume... anxiety + + but Waze so turn it up.✅

  • SimonYapp Simon Yapp (@SimonYapp) reported

    @Stephen_Neal @TomTom @waze Google maps is free (at the mow) and so much better! Just ensure phone is plugged in and mounted. I gave up with TT years ago. Devices so slow.

  • mo_chiptu Jeremy L. (@mo_chiptu) reported

    I still don’t know why people using Waze just reports for police if there aren’t any cops and since the report was just 10 minutes it’s not there and it makes my dad slow down.

  • UselessDotExe Beep boop ***** (@UselessDotExe) reported

    @SteampunkWeirdo It was slow but it works lol Waze, well might aswell use the one on his phone lol

  • nicholasjdeboer Nick de Boer (@nicholasjdeboer) reported

    Small problem I encountered today: Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze all deplete my phone battery faster than my car charger charges it

  • SpookyKatttt Kat ☭ (@SpookyKatttt) reported

    I really cannot stand 90% of these waze volunteer map editors. I'm done trying to report map issues. Go ahead, take people to the wrong place when I already gave you the details of the correction and you respond asking for the information I literally just provided.

  • RAWdva She RAW (@RAWdva) reported

    Is Waze not working for anyone else? I’m trying to see something.

  • kam013cms Kam013cms (@kam013cms) reported

    @spann I'm On I-65 NB and My Waze App Has Notified Me of A Crash On 65 NB Traffic is at a Standstill to 10 MPH Avoid I-65 NB From Exit 287 to Exit 291 In Blount County

  • Wess_Lee Wess Lee (@Wess_Lee) reported

    @klimchuk @MacRumors @rsgnl That happened to me when I launched the app from my car's infotainment and the app is no longer on the RAM of the phone. You have to start the app on the phone to avoid this issue. Same thing with waze sometimes.

  • _Sajourne Diamond (@_Sajourne) reported

    S/O to Waze for “the police is reported ahead” lmfao let me slow this car down!

  • AntiLeftBeaver Anti-Left Beaver (@AntiLeftBeaver) reported

    @Garland2018 @CBCToronto Yep. 81,557 tickets in the first 3 months definitely shows the monetary penalty is working. I don’t care anyways. Waze tells me the location of the cameras and I have a plate camera blocker anyways.

  • phillyry94 RyCro94 (@phillyry94) reported

    @waze what’s up with the app today? Every other map app is working fine, but unfortunately Waze is not. Updated the app and now it doesn’t work

  • gurpreetcse Gurpreet (@gurpreetcse) reported

    @googlemaps @waze @Google small suggestion if person is driving beyond certain speed limit ,perks of showing crash ahead/ cops reported ahead should not be offered. This way we will contribute some part in reducing the no. of road accidents around the world.

  • iWilliiam William Zimmer (@iWilliiam) reported

    @TechTabletscom @HLHAMJ @frankie_tech Some people report reboots when you turn on the localisation feature with the camera, or when you use localisation on applications such as Waze. Xiaomi is working on a fix and will send it asap

  • roseemily__ ۵ (@roseemily__) reported

    never thought i’d be the car crash on waze

  • Sakokinzz 😻🐠 (@Sakokinzz) reported

    @ShadiL_ What do you use.. my samsung s10 gps also stopped working. Had to get a new phone because they also didn't understand why. Ke re waze and google couldnt take me anywhere

  • ddrklw44 w (@ddrklw44) reported

    @PhyllisSilver @nypost @waze These people are stupid the system that we had and have now is not keeping no one from carrying a handgun the only thing they had to do was apply For the license and if you didn't have background problems you was able to carry one but now everybody getting out of prison.

  • HobinLight Hobin Rood🧢🍎🕊🏹🇺🇸 (@HobinLight) reported

    @TheFilAmNerd No matter what I do, I can never get google maps to open an address correctly. I’ve checked and rechecked permissions and settings in both app and OS. Apple Maps no issue. Waze already knows where I want to go.

  • 6402Retired Steve P (@6402Retired) reported

    @neha_parikh @waze I stopped using wase as it never finds my starting gps location correctly. Help says it’s my CarPlay, but Apple maps etc has no problem so why wase?

  • GodKingAlmighty Christopher Williams (@GodKingAlmighty) reported

    @waze your app hasn’t been working for the last few days 😒🤬

  • phoebehobart Phoebe Hobart (@phoebehobart) reported

    @bill_slawski How does Waze update its information? I had a business have an issue with customers putting the destination in the app and it said they were closed when in fact they were open. I know a lot of business was lost that day.

  • webeunruly Mel B (@webeunruly) reported

    Waze make me end up in some odd places and had me thinking about wild scenarios that could happen.. Dem have to fix that

  • reesie_knows Resa (@reesie_knows) reported

    @SykoKidSyd They sent me through a muddy backyard in the pouring rain, and if I didn’t stop in time they would’ve made me drive through some lagoons. Waze really could get you in trouble! I only use them on the highway for traffic updates now

  • bruceKgarber Bruce Garber (@bruceKgarber) reported

    Does #waze @waze cut out in the middle of a route for you? Whats the fix?

  • WINSTRAFFICNYC 1010 WINS TRAFFIC & TRANSIT (@WINSTRAFFICNYC) reported

    Crash: #BeltParkway eastbound in the area of #CrossBayBoulevard in #Queens. 2 lanes blocked. @waze @1010WINS
