### 1/5 — This Is Not Waze !!!!!   Buyer BEWARE 🤑😝😵‍💫🤑😝😵‍💫

*2022-10-30, version 1.4*

“This APP does nothing useful and I’m surprised the Store is carrying it. It is a major security risk and a carrier for advertising. ‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘ # I believe this APP exists to confuse people who are hoping to install Waze instead. You give the APP access to your microphone, supposedly so you can command the APP to give you a route. It doesn’t actually seem to add useful functionality. Who knows what it’s doing with the information it is gleaning from microphone monitoring access. Caveat Emptor … Paleophone” #‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘--‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘-‘ -‘-‘-‘-‘ Copied another User’s comment, because I felt exactly the same way, I might have gotten a couple words out of place, or used a different descriptor, but the essence is the same, so I used the quotes and added their User name. WAZE IS A GREAT APP, but this isn’t it. Looking at the Developer Data is the best way to know if you’re on the right track, or completely off base.

### 1/5 — Little Value

*2022-01-02, version 1.4*

Too bad the most important and most hazardous  management of Waze was ignored: voice reporting of hazards, police, traffic, etc. was left off.  This feature would cement Waze’s future for years to come.

### 1/5 — ogh

*2021-12-02, version 1.4*

tof ba zatet

### 1/5 — This is not Waze. Buyer Beware.

*2019-05-28, version 1.4*

This app does little or nothing useful and I'm surprised the app store is carrying it.  it's a potential security liability and carrier of adverts.

I believe this app exists to confuse people who are trying to download Waze instead. You give the app access to your mic, supposedly so that you can command the app to give you a route. It doesn't actually seem to add useful functionality.  Who knows what's it's doing with the information it can glean from the microphone monitoring access.

Caveat Emptor.

### 1/5 — Why bother?

*2019-01-28, version 1.4*

Just deleted this app. On my iphone you can speak instead of type, which I use with Waze directly. So I’m not sure what problem this app solves. In addition: a) it displays ads over 60% of the screen; and b) it doesn’t even work. Waze just spins forever. Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Very slow response

*2018-09-27, version 1.2*

Not good. Very slow to respond to voice and slow to open Waze.

### 1/5 — Why make a app

*2018-08-01, version 1.1*

This app is for another app
