I am doing fine with the update. I drove today with it and the new cosmetic features added a somewhat cleaner interface. No problems with Facebook connectivity. Waze even showed me who was online from my Facebook friends when I was stopped at a light. Very nice update. Im using an iPhone 4S, all current versions.

since the update runs on my iPhone, missing new points after 5-7 days of using Waze. Deinstall and new loading the app will fix the problem in the next days before it stops in the next time . In this case the driving distance are not transmitted online.

Since this is labeled the "official feedback thread", here is some feedback based on a thread I've created : http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50277

It's distracting how Waze will ask if your driving to work or heading home, and if you click yes, then a second screen comes up where you have to click yes again.

I think both of these screens should be combined into one screen. If it says Heading home, on that very same screen show the routes button and the bar showing potential hazards and ETA. This means you would only have to click yes ONE time. I'm all for less button tapping, more looking at the road. Plus this would be faster and more efficient to have it on one screen, rather than TWO screens which take more time or make the user feel as if it is an 'annoying popup'.

That's my feedback on that.

Then secondly I have a thread here: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50887 regarding that Waze (or something) pauses the audio upon re-entering the app. See the thread for the full details how to reproduce the problem. Basically you start a music app, then waze and start a route. You make a pitstop and pull the 3.5mm jack out of the phone and take it into the store with you. When you return to the car and plug in the jack again to the stereo, you unpause the music and as soon as you fire up Waze it causes the music to fade out and pause again. I'm not sure if this is a bug in IOS, the particular music app (Slacker, Sirius XM, Pandora), or Waze... but the commonality is as soon as Waze comes into view the music stops. The workaround is when you get to your stop, close Waze from it's turn off menu. Then when you return to the car, fire up music then fire up Waze, you can continue your route without the music switching off. I wonder if it has to do with IOS though because when you pull the 3.5 mm jack out, it senses it and auto pauses the music. This is a key step to reproducing the problem, because if you leave the jack plugged in, you can multi-task between other apps and Waze all day long and the music does not auto pause when Waze comes back into view.

The exact same app on the same phone hardware with a different OS does not seem to have the same problem. If the OS renders some graphics differently this is likely not a Waze-only issue, as there were likely changes to the default behavior in APIs.

The question is, should this really be seen as a Waze problem as iOS itself is only a beta?

How many of you have experienced (purple) street labels blinking?
Any information regarding this problem will be helpful - does it happen on day/night mode (or both)? Does it happen on start or a few min into the route? Does it happen randomly or after doing something (like rerouting, reporting, etc.).

Thanks!
Encountered twice so far. First was last week & second at today (10 June 0800 GMT+8), have sent the log right after the second incident

Both happened about the same time, it was night mode & about to switch to day mode (auto mode on). The blinking actually caused by the street names around being displayed and disappeared interchangeably.

Since I've installed the last release, the client is crashed without my permission.
No crash logs sent automatically but I sent them after reloaded it.
Is it a iphone bug or what else?

I trust others to highlight the bugs with features. My main hope was that the routing in this version would be stable, without all this hovering, misidentifying the GPS location, routing on side roads, etc.

So far, so good!

iphone 5, iOS 6.1.4. Waze 3.7. Updated from the previous version on Waze via the iOS store. Now, Waze frequently crashes at startup. I don't even get to choose a destination via navigate. It seems to happen predominantly when there are traffic alerts.

Updating my previous post...

US based, iphone 5, iOS 6.1.4, Waze 3.7. App crashes when it originally is launched AND there are reports that come in. If there are no reports (for example late at night or on the weekend), Waze launches and navigates fine.
