Frustrating Language Glitch and Ineffective Navigation
I’ve been using Waze for a while, but recently it’s become frustrating. First, the app keeps switching to a language I don’t understand. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling it to keep the language in English, but it still resets to something unfamiliar.
Additionally, the navigation quality has seriously declined. In London, Waze used to be reliable, but now it frequently sends me on unnecessarily long routes, increasing my journey time by as much as 70%. It also seems to lack awareness of closed or restricted roads. Instead, it constantly alerts me to road bumps, which isn’t very helpful, as the speed limits already account for these.
If the Waze team reads this, I’d strongly suggest focusing on critical improvements, such as keeping language settings stable, improving navigation accuracy, and prioritizing useful alerts for road closures and restrictions over minor details like speed bumps. This app could be fantastic, but right now, these issues make it difficult to use.
