Verdict

No car is complete without a satnav, and Waze transforms your mobile into such a device.

Review Rating: rating

Type: Free for personal use only

Platform: Android

Manufacturer: Waze

Price: Free

Getting from A to B is something that has been made dramatically simpler thanks to the advent of satellite navigation. Dedicated navigation devices can be expensive, but Waze is available completely free of charge. As well as providing you with directions, the app can also provide traffic information without the need for a subscription.

What makes Waze a little different is the fact that the traffic information is provided by other users of the app. Wherever you might be travelling, you can get the latest information from other people who are actually making use of the roads - you can’t get more up to date than that. 

Turn by turn voice navigation means that you can be guided from door to door and you'll quickly discover that the community based ideology has numerous advantages; you may never have to worry about speed cameras again.
