Finding out what candies I've eaten?

I was on a drive, but my battery was low so I turned the screen off whilst driving and could hear the sounds of candies being munched but have no idea how many points each of them was worth. How would I find that out?

Confirmed! I ate some on Sunday and Monday and the only changes to the scoreboard come from edits, kms and forum posts.

That takes me to the next unavoidable question: has anybody confirmed that naming new streets gives points? I'd say that since Papyrus, at least, no points are being given for that reason.

There seems to be a delay (again) in the points from candies being added to our dashboards. On Tues/Wed I consumed 14 edit candies and I have not received any points for them yet despite the dashboard updating daily. :(

There is no way currently. There are essentially types of 3 candy at the moment.

Seasonal candies like those at Christmas. No way to see consumed at all

Bonus candies earned for progressing through Waze achievements. You can see those you've completed on the "My Waze" section of the app.

Editing candies. No way to see consumed.

There are currently no seasonal candies on the map.

Assuming you tweet them! I don't!

I suspect the editing candies are not publicised in the same way to avoid an influx of folk editing to gain the candy rather than for genuine reasons. The theory being if you know about those you've either been on here or already done some editing! Both reasons that imply a want to edit in the first place!

Yeah, I've had a similar number this week and points definitely not moved enough. As gettingthere suggested in another thread I suspect the recent "fix" was a one-time fix and the process iteself is still falling over.

I just got a message from Dror, to update the points.
(I guess that tomorrow when you upgrade, it still does not change providers)

By that he should get the points. But still I can not see the bonus points on my dashboard. So I think tomorrow will be added. Or should I hope :)

I've read this several times, and I'm still not sure what you mean. Dror has acknowledged a problem with the points, and we'll get them tomorrow? Not sure what you mean by 'change providers'.
