During the first part of my commute, while I was still in my neighborhood, the app told me "Hazard Reported Ahead" -- every time I stopped at a stop sign. Strangely, this behavior went away when I got on a freeway.
It also got "stuck" at the "recalculating" (Waze icons chasing each other) popup. After a minute, I hit the Back button, and my route was correctly calculated.
"Feature" that has been in the app from the start that is really annoying: the app tries to route me off the freeway, onto a frontage road, and then right back onto the freeway. That's not bad by itself, of course. But when the freeway clears up, Waze can't figure out that I deviated from the suggested course. I think it interprets the input as "vehicle moving 70mph along exits and frontage road", so of course it keeps routing other Wazers down the frontage road! I wish there was a one-touch feature to tell Waze "I'm not where you think I am, recalculate my position".
