I had fun trying to invent ways to get Siri to open it. Finally I did it 3 ways consistently. You'll need to spell it and say the letters.
Open w-a-z-e
It also worked leaving the E off during the spelling.....Open w-a-z
I also got it to work by pronouncing it....Open Way Zay

Finally found the fastest way to open Waze with Siri: Just say "Launch Gas".
"Gas" is part of the App Store name.

You can also spell the name to Siri and it will open the app.
"Siri, Open W-A-Z-E"
EDIT: Oops, didn't realize there was 2 pages here.. Look like my post was redundant!

All you have to say is:
"Open sounds like waze"

Thanks for posting this here. Your shorter version, "launch like waze" works perfect for me.
