Completely Unreliable – Total Disappointment!

Waze has become completely unusable! Despite having a perfectly functioning 5G internet connection, the application repeatedly displays “No network connection” and “Using offline maps.” The entire navigation map remains blank, both on my iPhone and through Apple CarPlay.

I have checked all permissions, restarted the application, troubleshooted the network connection, completely deleted Waze, and reinstalled it from the App Store. Absolutely nothing works!

Meanwhile, Google Maps functions flawlessly on the exact same device and internet connection.

A navigation application that cannot display roads, connect to its servers, or provide reliable directions has failed at its most basic purpose.

Extremely disappointing! Waze needs to investigate and fix these serious technical problems urgently.

아직은..

8월에 미국에서는 잘 썼습니다. 하지만 한국에서는 아직 티맵이나 네이버 지도 같은 정밀지도는 아닌 것 같네요. 보기에 편해서 쓰고는 있지만, 국내용은 아닌것 같아요.

Could you PLEASE let us know what side of the street the house is going to be on. Other than that this is the BEST GPS app I’ve ever used. Thank you.
