I've been a Waze user for years and it's definitely the best mapping software for driving, but that doesn't make it perfect. The voice commands for reporting aren't great and only provide limited capability. The responses are annoying and make you only want to turn them off completely (which is why I have all notifications muted). Good app, but not perfect.

This has never been a problem before, but WAZE now refuses to play through my phone's speaker, even though this option is set properly. If there is any Bluetooth connection through an earbud, headset, or your car, it will only play the directions through that device now unless you disable that Bluetooth. At first i thought it was my phone, but clearly, something happened with an update because I've talked to several people who regularly use WAZE and it's doing it to them, too. Please fix!

Edit, Waze is running again. Hopefully, it doesn't crash... After using Waze for years, the app has now crashed. I typed in and spoke the address I wanted to go to multiple times. Most of the time, Waze didn't respond, or if it did, it couldn't give directions. I un-installed and then reinstalled the app, and I can't log back into my account. I tried searching for the address I wanted to do and received a message that there wasn't a network signal. This app is now useless.
