It has been approximately five months since Waze 4.0 was made available for iOS devices. Now, the update has finally arrived for Android users and is available on the Google Play Store. The cleaner and simpler design is but one of the notable features (as iOS users would already be very familiar with).
Other features that Android users can now find on Waze 4.0 include the one-tap navigation menu on the left, and a button on the right, for access to contacts. At the lower centre portion, one can view alternative routes, add a stop or let others know your ETA.
Back to the design, according to Waze, the best feedback that it has received from users is the reporting menu – accessible via the orange button at the bottom right corner. It’s now faster and with colour-coded categories, while quick report action can also be performed by holding down on the button.
Apart from that, Waze 4.0 allows for smart reminders for better punctuality. Upon syncing one’s calendar with Waze, the app will cleverly tell you when to start travelling to your desired destination/meeting, depending on traffic conditions. Meanwhile, version 4.0 is also claimed to be more efficient for your device’s batteries.

No wonder have changes in appearance. Not so intuitive as before…I think
I wish the active route to be in magenta rather than purple. Otherwise no further comment.
lol android users have been waiting for 5 months for the update. Although they probably are used to it by waiting for Android software updates.
Still many bugs, the report doesn’t work, when a ads come out it blacken the entire screen for some time, this is bad, hopefully future update to rectify these bugs.
Please bring back C3P0…it feeds the ego each time he calls me master…
Bring back C3PO pls! the best so far on waze….so hillarious, i cant stop chuckling even stuck in traffic jam
The new Waze user interface is total shit. You can’t reroute easily as before, it’s harder to quickly disable audio for times when you’re picking up a call from your bluetooth headset, and generally the user friendliness is horrible. In short, it totally sucks.
Good, have been waiting for this updated interface on Android, more user friendly and modern design
i have been using google maps now and i think its better than waze..
Been using it on an iPhone. Find the older version faster & more intuitive. And what the hell happened to the BB10 version of Waze? Seems to have stopped working since mid January 2016. And it appears as though the developers not doing anything at all about it.
Blackberries…ahh…the good old 1990’s…
