I really wanted to like this app but for some reason it seems to glitch out when I'm taking a new route? Not when I've taken a wrong turn and it has to reroute, but giving me inaccurate and late turning directions whenever I'm going somewhere I haven't been before. Sometimes it seems like it just automatically gives me directions from previous trips where I've been on the same roads and then switches to the correct directions at the last minute. I don't know if this is just me or what.

Hi Olivia, I hear you. If you're getting late audio turning directions, doing a clear cache and reset on your voice settings might help. Here's how to do them: https://tinyurl.com/mujjrxw7. For the routing issue, please fill out this form: https://tinyurl.com/mrx77ukz with relevant details to open a support ticket.

This is more a game than a navigation aid. Overall, it is hazardous to use while driving. Dozens of useless notifications are a constant distraction, the map view is cluttered with tons of useless emojis, and navigation is hit and miss (it couldn't find a major international airport, for example). Stop for gas and it forgets your route. As a bonus, it heats the phone up like nothing else. There's a much better alternative that comes with your phone.

I've been a Waze user for years and it's definitely the best mapping software for driving, but that doesn't make it perfect. The voice commands for reporting aren't great and only provide limited capability. The responses are annoying and make you only want to turn them off completely (which is why I have all notifications muted). Good app, but not perfect.
