I don't know what is wrong with the app lately, but it keeps trying to take me TWENTY MILES out of my way every time I have to go into the town that I live nearby for NO REASON. It doesn't give me any alternate routes, either. I can't report it to any kind of support at all. This app is becoming more and more frustrating to use. Absolutely useless garbage. Hard delete.

Audio alerts are not working properly. Update: after reaching out to support, I was told that this is the expected behavior. I used to get alerts while not using Waze for navigation, just driving with it open. Apparently the only way to get alerts now is in navigation mode. I don't know why they changed this, but it was the only reason I used Waze. Also would've been nice to have that change documented somewhere. I found no evidence of that change in many Google searches and Waze articles.

Love the app, I just have a few notes: I wish there was a Sound option for directions only (no alerts), while alerts still appear on-screen. When arriving at a location, the directions should include which side of the street it's on (arrow visible on the map as well). When +adding a stop, the directions should include when you've arrived at your first location and what side of the street it's on (waze voice and on-screen).
