Comments and Reviews
It was bought by Google. Goodbye.
I can't deny that it's good navigation app (perhaps the best), but there are way too many ads and notifications, and Waze is owned by Google, so that's a no for me. I'd rather use Magic Earth, OsmAnd or Organic Maps.
Privacy invasive
The same toxic data kraken „business“ model as Google, and owned by Google. Plus visual eye cancer, and coming across in this creepy psycho “cheerful” style of American businesses that want to make you believe they are “just a little girl, and your best pal”. With the only distinctive “features” being things you already had independent apps for. … Why in the world would any sane human go near this, even in a level 5 hazmat suit inside of a tank? Might as well shake hands with Googlethulhu!
Waze is a great navigation app. I appreciate the simplicity of it as well as actualizing current traffic situation. However it occasionally stops working for a few seconds, especially when you change your route.
The best GPS app I've used. Works reliably.
Still upset that Google won't fix Waze to work on Windows phones because they come from Microsoft . They've lost my support.
Probably because almost nobody uses Windows phone (and this is coming from someone living in Finland where - the pride of the country - Nokia only produced Windows phones for years, which was also one of the reasons for Nokia's downfall). Waze keeps updating the iOS version - even though iPhone is a direct competitor with Android - because there is a large enough user base to financially incentivize them to keep developing the iOS version. My guess is that employing Windows Phone developers is more expensive than the income generated by Windows Phone users or that the profit margin is so slim that there is no point financially to develop it for an operating system that has been officially declared dead by its creator. I also imagine that finding Windows Phone developers must be quite difficult these days.
