Voice navigation is still broken with BT.

Honestly, I used to use Waze for everything but it’s been broken for about nine months now without signs of progress no matter how many videos and logs I’ve sent.

I’m about to just delete it.

Since Google Maps works fine, it’s clear where Alphabet is making their investments.

Version is reported as 4.71.2.0.

On version 4.76.5 I’ve had multiple occasions where the app freezes, making me mis exits. It’s annoying, time consuming and it makes the app unreliable.

Am I missing something here?  This seems like a pretty big issue and Waze has been out for over a decade, so I'm hoping that I'm just missing a workaround.

 
iOS does not allow you to split the bluetooth audio.
(i'm pretty sure this changed since iOS 14, because before i was able to do it)

Please either return it to the old configuration OR add an option for choosing how you want that typing pop-up to work.  This change makes WAZE way less convenient to use.

Feedback on Version 4.98 on IOS:

Some of the latest features/upgrades are not really a feature, IMO.

1. After starting WAZE, the "Where to?" box appears. When you tap it, it used to bring up the list of recent drives. Now, it brings them up in the background and layers the typing platform in front of it. Then you have to swipe down carefully on the side to get rid of it - otherwise it incorrectly grabs one of those drives. 80% of the time a user is bringing up a recent drive that they want to redo - Now they have to carefully try to avoid grabbing one of those just to get to the recent drives. This is particularly problematical when driving and all you want to do is grab a recent drive. It takes way too much attention to do.  If I need the typing box I can tap again to bring that up - it's not what I want most of the time.

Please either return it to the old configuration OR add an option for choosing how you want that typing pop-up to work.  This change makes WAZE way less convenient to use.

2. I'm fairly sure we used to be able to quickly and easily remove a drive by swiping it left and choosing "delete". Now we have to press the icon, select Remove from the pop-up, and then confirm the Remove. The old way was much more efficient. It takes too many steps to remove old drives.  You can keep the menu as it adds functionality, but add back the swipe-left Delete feature.

It's still a problem today.
