iOS Beta 3.1.99.17 Feedback thread

The beta does not respect the event radius setting in Settings -> general.

I'm set at 25 miles yet I can see reports from up to 100 miles away.

I hadn't noticed this yet, but I'm set at 5 miles. I'll try and corroborate.

I haven't seen it happen again since, but I've had it start behaving as though always-north is turned on when it was off.

The search bug and the Categories bug are both gone for me in this one. Nice.

I forgot about sound. Same volume control bug is there. Client volume control is ignored on new session, and behaves as though at 100%.

In between Waze sessions are you adjusting the application volume in another application? If so, I believe that is why the volume is different the next time you launch Waze. There is only one application volume setting per output in iOS. Not a volume memory per application.

You're talking about device volume. I am not. Waze also has two sliders now. One for its own volume, which it has had for a LONG time now, and a recent addition which is a slider for device volume. Device volume is always on max for me. Waze volume is always around 20%. I never touch any of them. Waze isn't reading its own setting properly, or at least obeying it.

Gas prices need to be refreshed in the Waze application more than once per day. At least in the USA only refreshing the data once a day is going to have outdated prices nearly everywhere. All prices will be showing for a day ago at best. It needs to be updated every hour and show how old the prices are in hours vs days.

Another thing, for me whenever I launch the app I always get the "tips" for the buttons popping up. Shouldn't that go away after running it a few times?

Map color scheme
Speedometer
Show on map
Auto zoom
Display map controls on tap
Automatic night mode

The "Navigation" settings menu should contain:
Type
Dirt Roads
Toll Roads
Minimize Turns
Avoid Highways
Auto-learn routes to frequent destinations

Dave2084 wrote:Also I was thinking it would be a great option to (optionally via the foursquare settings in My Waze) automatically check in when you reach a destination found via searching Foursquare.

Dave2084 wrote:Additionally when trying to check in to foursquare could be have filters by category?

Thanks for your great suggestions!
We will take them under considerations.
