How do I access this app on the move? Since swiping left takes me to the navigation screen and swiping right to the turn instructions (or friends list depending on how waze feels)?

I'm using Android 6.0 with Waze 4 (."whatever version is latest for Android")

Many thanks,
Ian
You can't access this app from directly I side waze. You must switch apps to this app, I use the app switcher button on bottom of Android to switch easily.

I start my drive by opening this app first then use the shortcut in this app to open waze. Now this is the last app opened, so when I go to switch, this app is the first choice.

If you swipe up you see some information at the bottom.
"swipe left - ramp/left road signs". That is what those icons with arrows are for.

I've never used them. They were added after the initial options. The UR indicates you pick this option (" 60-left Sign"). Not sure what the intent of these are.
the intent is for reporting limits on cross streets or ramps as you pass them from the main road. Not as used in the US since most ramps here are not posted with limits.

Awesome. Btw did you ever make any progress on having a free text option where we could type a message to be sent in the UR. This would be great to have to report problems in areas of poor data reception when waze will not allow you to send a UR from the app. This app would be able to store it a s an offline ur to send later.

That is what I see too.
Also, once I get to the config page, there doesn't seem to be any way out except exit the app and then re-open.
Press [Save Prefs] to exit the config screen

I tried the staging environment on Android and I see all the buttons. I can send URs. After sending a free text UR, the icons displayed as if it though my device was landscape, but rotating the device corrected it. (I remember we had a similar problem when you made the last major update too.

Side note about the ramp-left signs. I know in the USA (and many countries) the ramps are on the right. The arrow on the icons actually points to the right as well. But the UR text says sign-left. Can this be corrected to say "sign to the right"?

Anyway, if you have a second account and want to use WURM and don't care about the password, on username use this template:

<username>##PWD<password>

Hi there, the template and the sample do not match, can you clarify which is the correct format please.
Thanks for working on this to make it better always, and overcoming the new obstacles.

Also can you explain what the risk is in using this, is this stored in your server, is there any security in place?

Took the app out for a spin this weekend to the staff meet-up. It is missing 75/80mph through TX.

Messing with Waze one segment at a time.

I think po is the abbreviated form of Polish. So Portuguese file should be named lang.pt.json. Everything else looks fine, imho.
