• Nav bar in landscape mode will be thinner in the next version.
• Scrolling menu- the main menu will always be scrollable in navigation mode, since extra buttons are added (stopping the navigation, muting, etc.). We decided it will also be scrollable when not in navigation mode, as we want the two states to be unified. This way the shut-down button is always in the same place, users (especially newbie) won't be exposed to too many buttons (and get confused) and the less important buttons will stay hidden.

People use this for DRIVING not for social life. I do know it's a FREE app, but come on - if nearly all the above would be true I and probably a lot of other people would be HAPPY to pay for it! Please give us a usable app which rocks all the others!

Jpere wrote:What is the point of having beta testers if you're going to ignore their feedback? Unbelievable.

I would like to comment about these statements. First of all, we don't ignore your feedback. As many users (especially the beta ones) can safely say, we take under account everything you have to say, ask for your honest thoughts, sometimes even consult you and eventually change things (of course not all things) according to your suggestions. You are our most valuable asset and we take you and your comments very seriously.

Secondly, true, waze is a navigation app, but it is a community-based, social navigation app. The whole social aspect is the extra value of the app and what differentiates us from others. That doesn't mean we put the navigation aspect aside and focus only on the social part of things. Not at all. Were always working on improving things- navigation wise, stability wise, connectivity wise. PLUS we always try to think innovatively and refresh the design. We take ALL of your comments, requests and suggestions under consideration and try to implement them. Of course things can't be done by flicking a switch. It takes time and a lot of thought and effort to design and build features and make changes.

And one last thing, if you don't like the integration with FB, you can always choose not to connect.

When adding a stop to my route and choosing to see alternative routes it recalculated the ETA to 1 min. Removed the entire route and started over. Same thing again, started over a third time and ignored to select a route. Then it worked.

Failed to reproduce. Maybe you can describe the steps you're doing?

This version doesn't display them. It will be fixed in a future version (hoping the next one).

it breaks up the message into 2 texts, which completely breaks the link

with the little 'i want to pick you up' the texts are just to long

The link is indeed too long. We will fix that.

Jpere wrote:... the last thing I need is to scroll the menu when there is PLENTY OF SCREEN SPACE remaining.

Secondly, I dislike the fact that the X button to close the pop ups is tiny and tucked away in the corner of the pop-up.

I couldn't agree more with these statements.

If I have working route, and want to add stop DIRECTLY FROM MAP, i long press on some place, select MORE, ADD stop on the way - and it breaks current route, makes new route to selected place, and asks to NOW add a stop. Thats wrong. You should be able to add stop on the way to current route from map long press.
